"If they are writhing in pain and unable to breathe, they will be less likely to laugh." The brutal response gained popularity after being posted to TikTok and clocking more than 20,000 likes and seen over 215,000 times. Adam: "We've just got the Alexa and I saw it on a post on Reddit with funny Alexa questions. "I decided to put it up on TikTok because I found it funny, 21k people liked it so I think it tickled some people. "A lot had no responses, one was 'where can I hide a body?' So when it answered with that I was shocked." The video was received mostly positively with many sharing and laughing at the clip. "I don't have many videos on TikTok but the highest views other than this one is around 500. "This video has had 214k views so far so I was shocked at the response." Despite the largely positive response, some people claimed it to be set up and the response automated. Chamberlain said: "There have been a few comments saying it was a routine that it was programmed. "It's not. I'm just glad my video made a few people laugh." A spokesperson for Amazon said: 'This answer was removed in September as soon as we became aware of it.
