[@jackscartoonchannel758]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@robertjuh]

[@braydenparton9773]

The long pause between when he says tell me a joke and she says the joke is amazing.

[@roabarton7962]

Cue Calculon "Dramatic............PAUSE!"

[@sarahbums]

just imagine someone traveling back in time and having to explain the Alexa Compatible Billy Bass to a person in the 1950s who thought we'd have flying cars and moonbases by now

[@liliththeraccoon355]

this is the best thing I've read all week, thank you

[@gxd-df5qg]

Imagine coming home very tired and starting to talk to a fish...

[@KFrost-fx7dt]

That's a step up from my life.

[@GENIUSGT]

Billy Bass, can you sing "don't worry be happy"?

[@slworking2]

or Take Me To The River.

You have 20 seconds to comply!

this is art

[@mrbanana69]

If you're going to have a creepy robot listen to you, might as well make it a creepy fish

[@samjohnson3899]

Or deer head. There might have been others, but those are the two I remember

[@bloxxedz8211]

Jessie: BillBay, Tell me a joke, Alexa: 'Thinks' Alexa: *Tells joke*

[@SoarLong]

I'm so glad this work area is being used for good and not evil

[@tonyharrisson6823]

This is next level shit! I actually couldn’t give a shit about Siri or Alexa.... but this..... this is special!!

[@gbwi666]

Coming to sex dolls next ? She could play sex sounds or music or sing or have any voice you want . And answer a simple question without attitude or personal drama.

[@odallard]

Otherwise known as Alexa from Texas

[@rickyjames993]

Alexis Texas?

[@aseldesu]

Alexas

[@MrWolfSnack]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllll my Alexas live in Texas

[@coralianblue2040]

The *yes* kills me everytime XD

[@EphemeralProductions]

Me too! 😊

[@JessicaLovesFoxes]

I don't know why, but I find this insanely cute and adorable, as well as impressive. Fantastic work! I love the fish. :D

[@jacobroeland]

I've never known how much I needed my AI assistant to have a dead eye stare

[@imachicken-]

"Billy bass, what's the temperature?" (Stares into your soul.)

[@TheCatsa]

Absolutely brilliant! Would hang that in my garage any day.

[@johnthomas1422]

Well, now you have to worry about Billy bass listening to everything you say.

[@garra1766]

Billy Bass, are you connected to the NSA?

[@chrisguy6301]

Nah, just one of your tech savvy overlords.

[@spdzodzo]

i tried to brush that hair off!

[@Cooliook]

Dang eyelash on my screen

[@Devan...]

YOURE NOT GOING TO TRICK ME WITH THAT HAIR!! I FELL FOR IT ONCE ALREADY!!!

[@will1565]

That hair avatar is pure evil

[@joshuaw7364]

This is how skynet starts

[@NicholasMaietta]

Thankfully the thing has no arms, legs and is mounted securely to a block of wood.

[@planetofthegapes]

You mean FishNet

[@otterguyty]

When Billy bass said "clear skies" I felt that.

[@sparkfire1223]

Could you share a parts list for this, or do you happen to have a blog illustrating how this is put together? Thanks!

[@JV-cn2es]

I WANT THIS

[@Funnybirdproductions]

J V this was a modified version the normal Billy Bass Just sings

[@JV-cn2es]

Yes. I had a Billy Bass as a child. What I meant was I would actually use a digital assistant in my home if it’s housing was that of a Billy Bass. Housing of a digital assistant is currently cold and no fun. Your alteration of the B.B. made me burst out laughing when I watched and made me wish that an altered B.B. was on my wall ready to run my house hold electronics and give me the weather report. I might actually care about robotic assistants if their housing was more endearing, like the altered B.B. you just created. Great job on the Billy Bass digital assistant. I fear the singularity a little bit less now.

[@Funnybirdproductions]

J V oh i see

[@SnakerShaker]

this is one of the greates idea ever seen on youtube. fantastic!

[@paulverneriii]

Dude, that is so freaking cool!

[@Sharon_Hocutt]

the first moment billy bass moved, i snorted

[@dfghj241]

can you put garfields text to speech voice instead of alexas default voice? that would be the cherry on the cake.

[@_SkylarStudios]

Awesome! I did this with my douglas fir talking Christmas tree.

[@idger]

This is the most spectacular thing I have EVER seen

[@SoarLong]

The way it just sits there for a extended period of time after being asked to tell a joke. Im crying

[@EphemeralProductions]

I honestly love that joke ! 😂 “de meaner de better”. 😂😂😂

[@iluvmym4]

Billy bass for President

[@stanmeyer2581]

damn these fish wakes nostalgia (in a creepy way with this mod) - great work - maybe a how to do?

[@PreachersPulpit]

Alexa now has eyes.... not sure how smart that was (But this is freakin hilarious!)

[@sharonj3797]

I want one for Christmas!🎄

[@christinas814]

So funny!! 🤣 I want one. Also you're in SA like me which is awesome. Anyway, I see you noted about licensing. Just so you know, I saw your video on Facebook on Unilad and they love to take other people's videos so you might wanna talk to them. I always try to find the source though which led me here. Awesome job! 😀

[@atxguitarist]

Thanks! I believe Unilad licensed the video from Storyful who I have an agreement with to monetize on my behalf.

[@ThePorpoisepower]

Congratulations you've won the internet

[@Fr4ncM]

The future is marvelous!

[@roderickrayrutledge2740]

I had one of these in 2000 and I loved it. This really creeps me out though....I'd never allow this type of technology near me.

[@mo7ammed2009greeny]

I need this in my life

[@PENGUINGIRL1210]

I didn’t know I needed this

[@HesitantCicada]

“Billy bass: play hacker by death grips”

[@pvh_facp4001yt]

Imagine being high as shit and then your fish on the wall starts talking like.

[@Scratchydude829]

you: Billy bass? Billy yes 👀

[@AmitRozee]

i bow down to you oh lord of the alexa

[@witeboisushi9658]

Bro dead serious. I want to buy one

[@Beregond1861]

Somewhere in San Antonio there's is an Alexa Billy Bass... Just let that sink in.

[@ItsJustJhase]

Bro really want a pet fish but wanted the Amazon Alexa assistant so bro combined and made Alexa the fish💀💀💀

[@TheMahal1983]

This is just awesome! 😂

[@austinwilburn1772]

The mouth movement is a little slow and lagging but this is nice; would love to have one.

[@schneider_the_rider8911]

this is both amazing and horrifying

[@atxguitarist]

Thank you?

[@schneider_the_rider8911]

@@atxguitarist no offense I reallly want this but it would def freak me out at night

[@atxguitarist]

Story time! The year was 2002 and I was home alone for the day while my family was away. I had walked by out fireplace for some reason and my dad's billy bass goes off due to the motion sensor and nearly gives me a heat attack. So yeah I know what you mean. lol

[@TheOfficialJLB]

"Billy Bass" "yes? 👁️👅👁️" I'll pay a thousand dollars just for it to do that oh my god

[@elistalcup2218]

this is actually pretty great

[@makharsa12]

Billy Bass is awesome

[@iantaggart3064]

I could use one of those.

[@IDogFan41]

They are actually making this real

[@viktorjohansen9654]

They are!?

[@kagevista3375]

I wonder if someone's going to make an Alexa iDog. Like, you just say "iDog" and it responds, and its lights light up in sync of what they're saying.

[@pine_productions485]

Surprise! The overall rating is 1.9 stars.

[@reflow2.081]

i want this now

[@jeffd1337]

I would buy one

[@arthurvasey]

How did you create the name Billy Bass as a wake word? Most Alexas can respond to Alexa, Computer, Echo and my one has Ziggy as an option - I’ve set it to Ziggy - just make sure I’m not watching Quantum Leap!

[@minisoul01]

Cool now need Alexa in a singing crab

[@bungispretzel645]

I like billy bass

[@squawk7777]

Billy Bass, can you tell me if the fish are biting?

[@kf5541]

You could be onto something here. Imagine a little robot that turns the lights down and sets the heating all while telling you jokes and sending reports to sky net at cyberdyne systems!

[@bushinc.]

Now we need the tutorial

[@chrissmith-gz7gr]

Hi Can you tell me how to connect my billy bass to alexa please Thank you

[@dreadedworld8864]

You genius you mad genius

[@turboismad9376]

Alexa! Billy bass: *MLOOM*

[@theotakukitten]

I need directions on how to do this.. my dad still has a bass from Father’s Day when I was seven or eight and I’d love to update it and see his reaction. 😂

[@KabukeeJo]

You should sell these

[@onebaddj]

This ia awesome. Good job.

[@nomusicrc]

Great video no music

[@Kimoto504]

Amazon's advertising these for pre order. Apparently they pay attention to what people do with their products.

[@shadowbenshorebatten2542]

Dude this is awesome!

[@Alkiller]

You could make a lot of money with this!

[@supremesuperhypertoasters6218]

Me: “mom! Can we get a billy bass with a built in Alexa?!?” Mom: “What in the hell is that?” Me: (shows mom video) Mom: “What is wrong with my son?”

[@danny-devito]

Billy Bass, were you the reason Tony Soprano died?

[@keithkuhn6404]

any idea where I can find dual C Battery Spring Plates. I need to replace the plate connectors / spring for my Billy Bass

[@cpenniman7247]

Bravo! An instant classic!! Any chance you can open-source your software stack? I would love to convert the family fish.

[@atxguitarist]

Not my software, but it can be found here: github.com/alexa-pi/AlexaPi and the script for mouth movement: gist.github.com/aarmea/f3010fd58629acda9c458e883ee010b5

[@Arulux]

Fantastic!

[@matthewpool6508]

They tore me apart and made me into something better.

[@sheik124]

Think I could build one with Cortana?

[@Doctorlolcake]
