That reminds me of a old old movie that was really zany called The Groove Tube. It was quite edgy for the time. It started out with Apes finding a old TV and turning it on.
I wonder if Dave Whamond thought about letting the ape say “Alexa play ‘Also sprach Zarathustra’ by Richard Strauss!” but then thought no one would get it.
I wasted money on an Alexa and several “smart bulbs” which worked once in a while but MOSTLY kept saying something like "there are multiple “things” with that name" even though I named every one for the room it was used in! Now the stupid bulbs are in the cupboard and Alexa is just sitting there sending every word it picks up to china and occasionally just starts randomly talking!

For those that don’t know, that theme is the opening bars of the “tone poem” Also Sprach Zarathustra (Thus Spake Zarathustra) by Richard Strauss.

We should have never come down from the trees and Alexa is living proof of that…

Mr. Whamond’s spelling is a bit odd today.

To adjust Alexa’s volume you’ll need a monkey wrench.

Excellent! Once again, the amazingly fertile minds of cartoonists.

Sorry, Moon-Watcher, Alexa won’t be invented for three million years.
