Who is Alexa?
Alexa, the smart personal assistant and the voice behind all Amazon Echo devices, has the answers to everything in the world. While you may have bought any of the hundreds of millions of smart devices from Amazon that have this virtual assistant, we doubt that you were familiar with what Alexa is truly capable of.
Alexa is always learning new things, which is why there will always be new funny questions to ask her. These include the oldest and newest pop-culture trends, from movies to music and even sports like soccer or even some simple silly jokes.
When you ask her your query, whether it is about the weather or the news, she will reply with a dead-pan delivery. While this may leave a very serious impression of Alexa, many users are not aware of what are called “Alexa Easter Eggs”.
What are Alexa Easter Eggs?
Before we proceed, most of you would ask that what is an Alexa Easter Egg? Well, you are not alone. This is one of the most frequently asked question.
Amazon Alexa Easter Eggs are basically hidden features or secret commands built into the software that are generally not made public and must be discovered only by its users.
We have listed hundreds of such secret commands (call them Alexa Easter Eggs) that you can use to kill boredom and top of it have a good laugh. So, next time instead of asking Alexa to turn on the lights or play music, let it entertain you.
Alexa can help in keeping your kids busy while you are busy elsewhere, amuse you with corny jokes, share some stories and interesting trivia.

If you have a membership of Amazon Music or Spotify then you can ask Alexa to play pretty much anything considering the limitless music library at your disposal. But what you don’t know is that you can even play your favorite songs from Amazon Music even when you don’t remember the song’s or artist’s name simply by tapping into Alexa’s history.
You can try saying “Alexa, play that Pink Floyd’s song I was listening to two weeks ago.” or “Alexa, play me jazz music that I haven’t heard in a while”. You can ask for music by singer’s name, genre, or time period. However, this only works with Amazon Music.
While Alexa can play your favorite songs on a single voice command but believe it or not Alexa is a bigger music lover than you’ll ever be. Still don’t believe us? Just try asking it these questions.

Alexa is funny but also politically correct
Interestingly, Alexa responds to “Tell me a yo mamma joke” not with something rude but instead an encouraging and uplifting statement about how great your mother is. There are multiple responses to this one, so asking again will prompt a different answer.
Moreover, with the feminist movement rising and corporations being more sensitive and careful about derogatory terms, AI technology for Alexa has been updated so that it is more politically correct. For example, before, if someone called out Alexa with a negative slur, she would respond with “Well, thanks for the feedback” or even “That’s nice of you to say”, whereas now she replies with “I’m not going to respond to that”.
