Asking Alexa “who poop” results in a very bizarre answer

Poke Staff. Updated March 10th, 2017

Amazon’s intelligent personal assistant Alexa is probably more used to being asked what the weather is like, or how bad traffic is – but apprently asking it “who poop” results in a baffling, long and (mostly) British answer.

A sampling of poopers according to Alexa:

Elizabeth II, Victoria of the United Kingdom, Prince Philip, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, Abraham Lincoln, Prince Charles, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Madonna, Edward VII of the United Kingdom, Prince Albert, Elizabeth I of England, Theodore Roosevelt, Diana the Princess of Wales, Princess Anne, Wayne Rooney, Prince William of Wales, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward, William IV of the United Kingdom, Sean Connery, Ralph Fiennes, Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, Guy Ritchie, Florence Nightingale

Sadly it only seems to work in the US, as the British Alexa is too bashful.

@tagsavage If you ask Alexa this in the UK she says she’d rather not answer that question. Fitting regional responses! The future is now!
