Created to run during the Super Bowl, the biggest TV event of the year in the US, this spot for Amazon’s Alexa stars real-life couple Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost.

The spot sees Alexa appearing to read the duo’s minds, as the voice assistant begins ordering things, playing music and generally causing havoc while revealing thoughts that are best left hidden. The ad then concludes with Johansson and Jost agreeing that it’s ultimately better if the device can’t read minds.
