Big Mouth Billy Bass is an adult toy consisting of a plastic bass that sings music and moves its head and fins (see here for an early example).
This videomaker apparently connected Billy Bass up to an Alexa and managed to synchronize its mouth and head with the words. Ergo, you can ask Billy anything.
You used to be able to buy Alexa-compatible Billy Basses on Amazon, but they appear to be out of stock.
HiLARious!
Hahaha… I actually laughed at the d*g joke.
Me, too!
It was the camera angle at 40 seconds that got me.
You know you can have Alexa be Samuel Jackson. Yes, there’s a Billy Bass doing Samuel Jackson. Go look on YouTube. I didn’t want to make it too easy…:)
The complete singing fish anthology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhu89CLDAQs . I first saw
these at my disabled son Aaron’s group home in the late 1990s, where they had at least two. I realized that we needed some of them at my place, and quickly obtained Billy Bass and Larry the Lobster, which
entertained Aaron and me for years. My favorite invites its audience to play “Go Fish”, and then it launching into song.
I love this so much.
I remember when Big Mouth Billy Bass became the most popular gift since Tickle Me Elmo. It was a brief period, but full of hope and wonder. It was a better time. A simpler time. A fishy time.
Tickle me Elmo was soooooo dumb.
I mentioned the ability to hack/customize the Billy Bass in this way to my sister a while back and she got one as a gift for her husband (an Intel engineer). He had already programmed their Roomba to dance, play tunes etc. so it was up his street, as we Brits say.
Funny. And I think we Yanks say “down his alley”, or maybe it’s UP his alley. Not as classy as street.
Yup, “up his alley,” which sounds suspiciously euphemistic 🙂
Just… the Sopranos.
