Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Amazon Alexa could read your mind?
Well, in Amazon’s new Super Bowl ad, they answer that question for you: It probably wouldn’t be a good idea.
Actress Scarlett Johansson and her ‘Saturday Night Live’ star husband Colin Jost imagine what it would be like if the virtual assistant could read their minds in this hilarious new ad.
The couple show how at times, like when you want to watch “the big game”, Alexa reading your mind can come in handy – the Amazon device can automatically turn on the TV for you.

However, the ad also shows how difficult it can be to buy mouthwash at times like when Johansson’s breath stinks in the morning.
The ad, posted by Amazon on February 7, has already been viewed more than 23 million times on YouTube alone. Clips of the commercial also aired on television in the week leading up to the Super Bowl.
The “Mind Reader” ad won’t be Amazon’s only Super Bowl ad. Amazon (including Prime) will have two ad spots, according to Adage.
