I just spent the day with 99 year old Aunt and all I could think of was this skit. She was all of them today. Cold/Hot where are her glasses, telling a long story that made not sense. I love this skit.🤣
I adore my 89 year old MIL, but she was bewailing the loss of JCPenney in her hometown, Indianapolis. I tried to tell her they still had some Indianapolis stores, not too far from her. I called the number and let her hear the store hours (They weren't open yet.). My husband said "I'll take you past there when I drive you home." She just said "I don't know about that" and my husband and I just about wet ourselves laughing.
Only 3 payments of $9.99? “Darnell! Go up to my bedroom and get those old coins out of my sock drawer so I can mail them in and get me one of them Alicias!”
I have to wonder how many complaints were registered at Amazon because the item isn't on the market. I can see my dad trying to order one, me telling him there's no such item and he'd reply: "We'll see about that." Which is, of course, my dad's spin on "I don't know about that".

Let's be honest though, anyone stupid/mentally gone enough to call the cops on kids playing needs more help than just a new Alexa. A padded room, perhaps.
Agreed. He's one of the only actors that I've literally been able to follow my whole life starting with All That and Kenan and Kel when I was a kid. The crazy thing, he just doesn't seem to age!
@@kevinilango7896 He really doesn't. It's wild how you can look up old All That clips and he's virtually identical to how he looked, sounded, and acted back then.
Sadly, I can confirm this skit to be 100 percent accurate. My elderly mother is driving me nuts with echo. Calling it "Alexis", "Alexia"... then wondering why it won't work. Why did I get this for her? WHY? I finally put one in my room so I can tell it to turn off the front room light when my mother repeatedly tries to do it using the wrong name. Then, when the light goes off, she is so proud of herself, thinking she has done it.
Oh yeah here’s a story having to do with your last name. Years ago my mom and I were in a restaurant and 2 cops sat next to us (white cops). She started talking to them and one said his name was GLOVER and she said “Like Danny Glover?” Ha. He just chuckled.
I had a customer today named Odessa- she was elderly and kept saying "huh?" And "what?" And then when she finally heard me she said "I don't know about that." I laughed so hard i had to mute the phone.
Beck and Cecily are not getting enough credit for their spot-on voices here. He TOTALLY sounds like a generic voice over guy, and she is almost indistinguishable from the real Alexa. 👏
When I first watched it live, at first I didn't get that joke and thought he was yelling his kids name to complain about the machine he thought was broken. It wasn't until they got to the part about it responding to any name that I caught on.
This is too funny. I have actually seen this exact scenario play out with my grandfather. He was calling it Alisa and getting mad because she wouldn't do anything. He also told her to clean the shit out of her ears when she didn't understand what he was saying.
A group in my English class just used this to present an example of mockery and my teacher is about 78 years old and she was almost on the floor dying she was laughing so hard the entire time😂
This 👏🏾 is 👏🏾my 👏🏾 mom! I have watched this so many times. Every time she does something like this I watch it again. The other day she told me she forgot Alexa's name and kept calling her Allison and then Alicia.
Some people think this is just an SNL skit! It is a major marketing ploy! This isn't a joke, it is seriously needed! And please don't tell me, 'I don't know about that'! 🤣🤣🤣
When my niece was in Elementary school she had a friend named Alexa and another friend Erica. The niece gave me an Alexa for Christmas a couple of years age. One day I was upset that Alexa wasn't playing John Prine songs when I realized I was asking Erica to play John Prime songs. LOL
Same here! The other day when I visited my folks my dad said "Alexa" once and asked a question. Then a minute later he asked her anothet question but did not say her name and said "it doesn't even work." (I know there is a setting where you don't have to say her name repeatedly but I don't know how much of a pause it allows and even if I did, I wouldn't want to have to explain it to my father 100 times over how many seconds it is). Every single damn time he does something wrong he blames it on the computer/tablet/smartphone manufacturer. If he forgets to turn off his computer or the TV, he blames it on the computer, says it is broken and automatically comes back on. 😤
@@dennycatlett3581 I have been going to concerts since 1982. I have seen Bowie, U2, the Stones, Sting. Best concert ever was John Prine, I want to say it was 2010. He did not take a single break played his heart out. Had the energy of musicians that could have been his grandkids. And his storytelling about his songs was what it always has been. What a wonderful old soul he was. I miss him so much.
@@kjohn5224 I mean people constantly use generic masculine pronouns when they don't know someone's gender. It might be a little weird but not sure it deserves a whole comment dedicated to pointing it out. It also might be possible (if unlikely) that they know who did the prop work.
I've laughed, shared and rewatched multiple times! Every scene and line is hysterical! My 89 year-old mother had a lengthy back-and-forth conversation with Alexa. I wish I could have recorded it. I think my mom actually thought she was talking to a real person! LOL
I work with the elderly, this is my life, lol! A little patience and understanding go a long way, old folks lose a step, but they are still just people. And most of them are really cool, just have to work a bit more to connect. It’s worth it.
I'm visiting my friend's dad, and he keeps saying "I don't know about that", and it knocks the wind out of me, it's so funny. Just the way he says it. He must be in his seventies. I always enjoy visiting him.
lolol The funny part is that when Alexa doesn't know what you're talking about or doesn't understand you, she will say "Sorry. I don't know about that."
It's like talking to my Dad. "Daughter, turn up the damned heat! It's freezing in here." "Dad, the dog passed out from heat stroke ten minutes ago! It's 93 degrees in here!"
I'm 66 and in excellent health. I live alone and have no family. But I'm not sure I'm ready yet for Andrea to be my main companion - I just don't know 'bout that...
Keenan: "I gave him $5 dollars and he said I gave him $1 and I know I gave him $5 because I only had $1 & $5 in my pocket..." Shows $5 bill now you tell me whos crazy" 😂
They nailed it when it comes to older people 😂😂😂. My mother asks something that she doesn't know ANYTHING about...when I answer her she'll say"I don't know about that..". Drives me nuts!!!!
“Anita what them boys up to ‘cross the street?” “They are just playing.” “They what now?” “They are just playing.” “You said they just playin’ now?” “Yes, They are just playing.” “Hmm. I don’t know about that.”
This is my mama, she's the love of my life, but she's loosing her hearing. And got the nerve to get mad when you ask her to turn the volume up on the TV. She says she rather read lips. I was thinking about Alexa for her, after looking at this, naahh.
I came up with the skit and idea to add that to the real echo ;) I did a lot of skits for SNL as a ghostwriter that were stolen by the cast, and I only did so many because I enjoyed entertaining people. I decided that I wanted to let people know #SNL and entertainment as a whole, including music, are a bunch of frauds and thieves.

It makes me so happy that Kenan has stuck with comedy for so long. He’s literally been doing it my whole life and he’s hilarious!
Agree anything he does is brilliant
I love that guy
Agreed. He's one of the only actors that I've literally been able to follow my whole life starting with All That and Kenan and Kel when I was a kid. The crazy thing, he just doesn't seem to age!
I'm convinced he could read from a phone book and it would be hilarious.
I love him! My favorites are this and black Jeopardy.😊
@@kevinilango7896 He really doesn't. It's wild how you can look up old All That clips and he's virtually identical to how he looked, sounded, and acted back then.
This is the funniest SNL sketch since the 80s. I laughed so hard I nearly cried.
I've been watching SNL since 1977 and this skit must be in the Top Ten of all time.
I don't know about that
I’m dying so funny.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Sam-lb8xs lmaoooo😂😂😂😂😂
Sadly, I can confirm this skit to be 100 percent accurate. My elderly mother is driving me nuts with echo. Calling it "Alexis", "Alexia"... then wondering why it won't work. Why did I get this for her? WHY? I finally put one in my room so I can tell it to turn off the front room light when my mother repeatedly tries to do it using the wrong name. Then, when the light goes off, she is so proud of herself, thinking she has done it.
God bless you. Lol
Oh my gosh, I watch this over and over. It cracks me up. Whoever was the writer for this skit/commercial should get an award.
I don't know about that.
Whomever chose the actors should not though.
Cristian Baluta Lol tf does that mean? They were all great in this!
I could watch this over and over
You say, "Moreover, Jesse done cracked up"? Well now that's too bad.
"I got the $1 right here so you tell me who's crazy"
And he hold up a five dollar bill.

We just got our parents the Echo Show and Dad already said, “it’s broken...the Elixer is broken!” ( Hadn’t been set up yet, lol!)
Oh yeah here’s a story having to do with your last name. Years ago my mom and I were in a restaurant and 2 cops sat next to us (white cops). She started talking to them and one said his name was GLOVER and she said “Like Danny Glover?” Ha. He just chuckled.
Hahahha
LoL
gonna google 'echo show'
Lol so cute 🥰
Kenan is hands down my favorite SNL cast member!
I don't know about that.
Agreed!
@@CigarDougNice!😂😂
He is my favoite as well. He is so good in all his sketches!
Now THIS was funny. The old lady freezing in a 100 degree room had me laughing so hard I wasn't making any noise.
Oh my god, my grandmother's house was like a sauna!
I was always afraid of the space heater in my great-grandmothers house. I thought something would catch on fire.
My dad actually kept his furnace on in the summer to make sure it never dropped below 80F in his house.
Yeeessss! I walked into my mother-in-law's apt once, and nearly had a heat stroke right in the doorway. #truestory
Kris In Love me too!
I had a customer today named Odessa- she was elderly and kept saying "huh?" And "what?" And then when she finally heard me she said "I don't know about that." I laughed so hard i had to mute the phone.

There are levels to sketch comedy and this is one is at the highest level ever.
Leslie’s part was the best.
Alexa: “They are just playing.”
Leslie: “I don’t know about that.”
roflol
Responds to Any name remotely close “ excedrin “ 😭😂😂
Lol! Peace!
Beck and Cecily are not getting enough credit for their spot-on voices here. He TOTALLY sounds like a generic voice over guy, and she is almost indistinguishable from the real Alexa. 👏
uh huh
@@KlingonGamerYT Ha Ha !!
I don't know about that

"What are those kids doing across the street?"
"They are playing outside" "Idk about that" lol i absolutely love Leslie Jones and Kate McKenna
*"Angela play Black Jazz."*
*"Playing...uhh...Jazz."* 😂
Randy H. I lost it at that point.
Randy H. hilarious. live audience or laugh track missed it
Agon Leed it's a live audience and no they didn't. You can hear them laugh...
Brendan O'Brien it was lame laughter comparatively. that's what I meant. not sure it was necessary to explain so much
Why does a robot have white guilt? God that was funny.
Are you trying to kill me, Alizé?
Lol
I don’t know about that!
OH MY GOODNESS I LAUGHED SO HARD!!!
Lol!
She called her the name of the liquor.. Lol
"Alesandra, turn the heat up" "the room is already 100 degrees" im crying XD
Then: "Are you trying to kill me?"
I fell out laughing when it said that, then I had to play it for my wife.
CastleIsLife Katic That’s me when I’m sick
are you trying to kill me alize'
I know!!! Hilarious, right?!😄 My favorite!!!😂
My ABSOLUTE favorite SNL skit!!😂
Whole thing was great, but gotta love the attention to detail with the "send a check or money order" bit.
J McK wow I didnt even catch that! Too funny!
No CODs....!?
J McK Absolutely. Detailed right to the end.
And the prescription bottles on the table.
haha you know them old people still writing checks, ‘don’t trust them goddamn credit cards!!!’
I'd say us older folks probably appreciated this sketch more than anyone else, but it's frightenenly close to reality, lol.
uh huh.....
I don't know about that
What?
GET YOURS TODAY
Absolutely!!
My sister bought my grandpa an Alexa and literally all he says to it is, “Hello” “Goodnight” and “good evening” lol
LOL that's cute. He doesn't want her help, but he's still a gentleman about it.
He sounds amazing
Poor fella, maybe he feels alone
Bought our parents back in India one. Since pleasantries are not a thing in India, its radio silence over there.
This made me a little sad. Loneliness can be an unspoken disease.
I can't get enough of this skit. It's hilarious!
This is one of the funniest and most accurate sketches I've ever seen. It's hilarious every time! Amanda! Angelica! Odessa! Andrea!
I couldnt agree more. I was dying every time they used a new name.
HILARIOUS and this skit is not political (thank god!).
When I first watched it live, at first I didn't get that joke and thought he was yelling his kids name to complain about the machine he thought was broken. It wasn't until they got to the part about it responding to any name that I caught on.
@ I'm 51 and I only have 2 kids and I always.mix them.up. Oh darn, I'm gonna need an Anastasia, I mean Olivia, I mean Alfreda, oh heck.
David Harlem me too.
This is too funny. I have actually seen this exact scenario play out with my grandfather. He was calling it Alisa and getting mad because she wouldn't do anything. He also told her to clean the shit out of her ears when she didn't understand what he was saying.
😂😂😂😂
"Clean the shit out of your ears." lmfao, love it.
“Alexa, Odessa, Amanda...”. That killed me. Cecily’s voice sounds great as the amazon echo lady.
I love how "Excedrin" is one of the acceptable names.
Beau33 OMG! That is her!!! 😲😆😂
This feeling when you're from Odessa😂
The drama class at our school had one with Viagra as one of the names
A group in my English class just used this to present an example of mockery and my teacher is about 78 years old and she was almost on the floor dying she was laughing so hard the entire time😂
Alessandra, turn the heat up. Are you trying to kill me, Alizea? 😂
Darkpool 😅😅😅😅
The room is already 100 degrees.
Reminds me of my grandmother... she literally turns on the furnace when it is over 80 outside in the middle of summer.
Darkpool You'll have that thin skin one day too. Unless you're a millennial minority, in which case you already do! :p
Lynn A My mom and stepdad are the same way. They tell me my house is freezing cold when I have the AC set at 75F!
Note the plastic covered couch with the 100 degree lady. This is brilliant!

uh huh.. beautiful actually 😂🤣
I wonder who makes such props for SNL?
Agreed
This 👏🏾 is 👏🏾my 👏🏾 mom! I have watched this so many times. Every time she does something like this I watch it again. The other day she told me she forgot Alexa's name and kept calling her Allison and then Alicia.
Some people think this is just an SNL skit! It is a major marketing ploy! This isn't a joke, it is seriously needed! And please don't tell me, 'I don't know about that'! 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
When my niece was in Elementary school she had a friend named Alexa and another friend Erica. The niece gave me an Alexa for Christmas a couple of years age. One day I was upset that Alexa wasn't playing John Prine songs when I realized I was asking Erica to play John Prime songs. LOL
Same here! The other day when I visited my folks my dad said "Alexa" once and asked a question. Then a minute later he asked her anothet question but did not say her name and said "it doesn't even work." (I know there is a setting where you don't have to say her name repeatedly but I don't know how much of a pause it allows and even if I did, I wouldn't want to have to explain it to my father 100 times over how many seconds it is). Every single damn time he does something wrong he blames it on the computer/tablet/smartphone manufacturer. If he forgets to turn off his computer or the TV, he blames it on the computer, says it is broken and automatically comes back on. 😤
@@dennycatlett3581 I have been going to concerts since 1982. I have seen Bowie, U2, the Stones, Sting. Best concert ever was John Prine, I want to say it was 2010. He did not take a single break played his heart out. Had the energy of musicians that could have been his grandkids. And his storytelling about his songs was what it always has been. What a wonderful old soul he was. I miss him so much.
I don’t know why, the way he yells Amanda makes me cry laugh every time 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's the "Odessa!" That does it for me. He's just so frustrated!
@@thenightporter that one too 😂😂
The first time it showed, I didn't get it right off, then the voiceover kicked in and I finally understood where they were going with that. 🤣
O-DESSAH! Is forever engrained in my psyche.
Anita whut them boys up to across the street?
You say they just PLAYIN NOW?!
Lmao 😂😂😂

We just got my grandma an amazon echo for Christmas. She called her “Amy” on the first night

My grandfather keeps calling her “alexi”
"I don't know about that." - Literally every person over the age of 60 concerning anything.
No, Only humans over 60. Yoda says "know about that, I do not"
Just remember...some day you'll be over 60. LOL. Dumb kids...
wombat35185 I don’t know about that...
My parents have been saying that to me since I could talk. I'm over 40, so they must have aged prematurely.
Lol
Not gonna lie, that is more aesthetically pleasing than the regular Echo.
Keenan, holding up a 5 dollar bill that he supposedly gave yet claims, "now tell me who is crazy!😂😂😂
Never forgot this sketch!😘
he is so underrated 😂😂😂 his timing is always so brilliant
*Kenan
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I know!😂😂
SNL totally nailed this one. Keep coming back to this and it's funny every time. Excellent!
The propmaster outdid herself with that design!
It looks like an ashtray from the sixties 😆
I think they just used an old person's real house!
Herself?
@@kjohn5224 I mean people constantly use generic masculine pronouns when they don't know someone's gender. It might be a little weird but not sure it deserves a whole comment dedicated to pointing it out.
It also might be possible (if unlikely) that they know who did the prop work.
@@kjohn5224 she’s a woman
I've laughed, shared and rewatched multiple times! Every scene and line is hysterical! My 89 year-old mother had a lengthy back-and-forth conversation with Alexa. I wish I could have recorded it. I think my mom actually thought she was talking to a real person! LOL
Love it. "Uh huh", "I don't know about that" LOL
There's a skill out now that will do that for real...awesome...
The skill sucks though.
"Alessandra, turn the heat up"
"The room is ALREADY 100 degrees"
"Are you trying to kill me Alizé"
😂😂😂
That was my favoret part😂😂😂
Lesley Jones reminds me of my Grandma Evelyn, who was deeply suspicious of kids playing.
🤣
In the 30s?
Hey, you know what they say about kids who play across the street? We don't know about that.
They what now?
That's how it all starts...with kids playing.
I work with the elderly, this is my life, lol! A little patience and understanding go a long way, old folks lose a step, but they are still just people. And most of them are really cool, just have to work a bit more to connect. It’s worth it.
I don’t know about that!
Out of all of the wrong names said here, "Odessa" is just so stupidly funny🤣
“Anita. What ‘dem bois up to across the street?”
I love Leslie.
Say what now?
@@matt.108 They are just playing.
I don't know about that.
I'm visiting my friend's dad, and he keeps saying "I don't know about that", and it knocks the wind out of me, it's so funny. Just the way he says it. He must be in his seventies. I always enjoy visiting him.
I think it's genetic or something, I'm in my early fifties and I've said it more than twice.
lolol The funny part is that when Alexa doesn't know what you're talking about or doesn't understand you, she will say "Sorry. I don't know about that."
"The weather is already 100 degrees". I spat out my coffee at that line!! PERFECT!!!!
"The room is already 100 degrees" 😂🤣😂🤣
I don't know about that
That was totally my grandmother!
It's like talking to my Dad. "Daughter, turn up the damned heat! It's freezing in here." "Dad, the dog passed out from heat stroke ten minutes ago! It's 93 degrees in here!"
Are you trying to *kill* me, Alizade?
Celsius or Fahrenheit
honestly this is a good idea especially for seniors who live by themselves. something they can have random conversations with
Yup. I live alone in a retirement community and find Alexa easy to talk to.....
uh huh ! uh huh ! LOL
I'm 66 and in excellent health. I live alone and have no family. But I'm not sure I'm ready yet for Andrea to be my main companion - I just don't know 'bout that...

Can they have random arguments with them? I live with my senior mother, so it sure would give me a break? lol
Can we talk about how perfect voiceover voices Beck and Cecily have!?
Thought was Sharon Stone
I never tire of this skit.
Keenan: "I gave him $5 dollars and he said I gave him $1 and I know I gave him $5 because I only had $1 & $5 in my pocket..." Shows $5 bill now you tell me whos crazy" 😂

Oh
Yeah. That would have been perfect!
Great job, SNL. This is a scream, and Kenan is the man.
Kenan Thompson is a master portraying "old man yells at cloud" energy.
This is legit probably the funniest sketch they've done in years
I rewatch or share it at least a couple times a year
I agree...no propaganda of any kind, pure comedy
The funniest I’ve seen & heard in a long long time……..
I don't know bout that
SNL Mother's Day sketches are real funny.
Check out Kate McKinnon’s facial expressions and physical movements when she asks about the weather outside. She’s a natural talent!!!!
Yes lol, she played that role
I really think Amazon missed an opportunity this holiday season by not capitalizing on this.
Alaia Williams right. It could of all been paid by medicare Lol!
Alaia Williams agreed!
Alexa does now respond to "Alexa Silver" by saying, "I'm not sure about that. Uh huh" and showing a link to this video in the app. :)
J. H., Google assistant also shows this UA-cam video.
J. H. Really? What’s the exact command?
What I love the most, is how they changed the name every time.🤣🤣😂
This is possibly one of SNL's best pre-recorded skits of all-time
They nailed it when it comes to older people 😂😂😂. My mother asks something that she doesn't know ANYTHING about...when I answer her she'll say"I don't know about that..". Drives me nuts!!!!

This is my mama, she's the love of my life, but she's loosing her hearing. And got the nerve to get mad when you ask her to turn the volume up on the TV. She says she rather read lips. I was thinking about Alexa for her, after looking at this, naahh.
If you say "Alexa Silver" near an echo, it says "I don't know about that. Uh huh." And it's great. Happened by accident and my entire family lost it.
The Darkrai I had to say "Alexa, Echo Silver" for it to work but it was hilarious 😂
And I thought this couldn't get any funnier.
I just tried it and it does that’s hilarious
Also works on the Amazon Music app on iPhone. Awesome. 😆
I came up with the skit and idea to add that to the real echo ;) I did a lot of skits for SNL as a ghostwriter that were stolen by the cast, and I only did so many because I enjoyed entertaining people. I decided that I wanted to let people know #SNL and entertainment as a whole, including music, are a bunch of frauds and thieves.
My wife hates when I yell ODESSA at our devices. But I have a good time anyway.
Lol! Peace!

If I got one...that's what I would call mine too. OhhhhDESSA!

One of the scrolling names listed that sounds "remotely close" to Alexa is 'Excedrin'
