Amazon knows people stuck at home all year might be fantasizing about something new.
In this Super Bowl ad ostensibly to tout Amazon’s voice assistant Alexa’s new spherical shape, a woman imagines that her new Alexa has the voice–and body–of actor Michael B. Jordan, who takes off his shirt to dim the lights. He also reads an audio book to her in the tub, all to the chagrin of her hapless husband.
Titled “Alexa’s Body,” this spot was directed with a deft comedic and playful sensual touch by Wayne McClammy of Hungry Man for agency Lucky Generals.
