I went to a summer camp in the mid 90s with a girl named Siri. I thought it was the coolest name I'd ever heard! I wonder how she's doing...
"Hey siri, how's siri doing?"
@@tuseroni6085 🤣🤣🤣
Siiri is a common name in Finland and Estonia.
Booba?
@@tuseroni6085 beat me to it
My real name is Brian Griffin. Apparently everyone thinks that I am the dog on The Family Guy. But I can use my real name online and be hidden in a billion accounts of a white dog.
boo Brian Griffith lol. He was a fun character in the early seasons
Iconic
This is 100% true - I went to school with kids named Oliver Cromwell, William Hague and Guy Pearce (though being called Guy Pearce is kinda cool)
I think on Survivor there was a character name Tom Buchanan a character on the Great Gatsby. At Scad there is a professor named Robin Williams doesn’t look like him and is more serious then funny. He has a RUclips channel on Savannah neighborhoods. He’s a good professor
That kind of anonymity is gold. I have a similar name. Googling me is very difficult, and I love that.
I had a manager whose daughter was Alexa, and her best friend was Siri. At least they could bond over that...
One of my college professors named her child Alexa, because Alexa means, “beyond words,” and she loved the baby beyond the power of words to convey. It’s one of the most beautiful thoughts behind a name I’ve ever heard and I’m sad to see it ruined.
You can change the name it answers to
It doesn't mean "beyond words", though.
@@lforlight Without words. A, as in asymmetrical, asexual, asynchronous, Lexa. That’s how she meant it. Sorry I misspoke.
@@laurahewitt5451 Wow. That is... stupid beyond words. Alexa is a derivation of Alexander.
@lforlight It means defender of man from what ive looked up.
We talked someone out of naming their child Ashley Madison… they didn’t know
child would have been served with legal papers every few years
How on earth does it not occur to people to Google the name they're about to give their child, just to make sure it isn't this exact situation?
Thank God they listened!
My kids came with their own names so it wouldn’t occur to me to google kids names if you already had them picked out. But, individually the names are fine. No one would suspect an issue with combining them.
I guess it would be a bit like Isis not knowing her last name Cosby was ruined.
@@michaelramsey82 well last names are inherited, so you're really just picking out the first and middle names. sometimes a couple picks out a name they like the sound of, or named after grandparents or other family members etc.
Tom's "just unplug it" going unnoticed makes sense.
I agree, I love that they simply ignored the most basic solution. 😅
Tom??
You can also change the trigger word.
@SomeGuyAsWell yeah I had to change the name on mine as a TV show I watch has a character called Alexa and it kept setting it off
I have a relative, trans, who actually wants their new name to be one of these ruined names
Where was Siri?
"Cosby might be worse than Isis" 😂 I almost spit out my coffee! This was great everyone!
Then someone else said "yeah, you should have lead with Cosby." Good stuff.
Yeah I didn't see that coming either... So much for a clean keyboard today.
Isis Cosby is definitely an awkward name, and I liked the joke of her having apparently never heard of Cosby.
I'm not getting it . Please explain ?
Yes please explain Cosby
google "bill cosby"
The Joke is that Cosby is referring to popular sitcom actor and comedian, Bill Cosby, who was revealed to have been a repeated sex offender, back in 2014, which effectively ended his entire career.
The joke is that popular sitcom actor and comedian Bill Cosby got convicted of being a predator back in 2014, which effectively ended his entire career.
Reminds me of the episode of the IT crowd where the guys name was Peter File.
Or the old Richard Pryor movie where he had to watch a kid whose last name was Bates and had to be addressed as Master.
@@JimAllen-Persona I actually went to a private boys school, we had a student called Stuart Bates who during a house meeting was referred to by the House Master as young Master Bates. It went down as well as you can expect in a room full of boys.
I thought Jen pronounced it "peta" not "pet-er" in that episode of the IT Crowd?
@@sammiller6631
Because people with most British accents don’t pronounce the R at the end of Peter unless there's a vowel starting the next word
It's not as bad as "Robert; Drop Tables"....
"Swiffer. You think I don't know that!?" 🤣🤣🤣
Andrew Phung cracks me up everytime he starts talking, he's amazing.
“Wet-Jet is Chinese” 😂😂
So many great gags in this, from the Swiffer guy hand motions and his last name to the contant "Alexa STOP!". Even Karen living up to her ruined name. I was litterally lauguing out loud. Thanks for the entertainment!
"Alexa, for the love of God, stop!!" 😂👌
read the description and found that 'Alexa' here is played by a person named Alexa.... she probably doesn't need to act, i assume those are frustrations in her real daily life.... also, sparing a thought for all the nice people who just happen to be named 'Karen' or 'Isis'....
She also wrote the script!
idk if isis is a real name
@@everafterhighgirlie Isis was an Egyptian goddess in the Greek-Roman Empire times, so there would have been some girls/women named after her.... But then the other ISIS came along and spoiled the whole thing
I have four siblings, and three of us have "meme names." But our names given decades before they became what they are now.
What are the names and what is the 4th one, because I guess that one will be the next meme
I thought for sure Tom's name was going to be Adolf.
I had an uncle named Adolf.
And no, not that one.
@@solvseus I bet he could never express his love for concentrated juice, though.
They chose names that were ruined AFTER the parents would have named them.
I had a great uncle named Adolph. When his parents gave him that name, it was no more sinister than Rudolph.
@@decomeout You are correct. So I guess the next meeting will include Siri, Bixby, and someone named Clippy.
I know a young lady named Isis, and yea, it sucks for her. Needless to say, she was named off the god, not the terrorists group.
I am still to this day surprised by how most people know of Isis exclusively as the terrorist group. It's like they never heard the term before seeing it on the news. I had a Dagger of Isis once, and I have long been fond of Isis and Osiris mythology. I knew of at least one person named Isis. This was all before that terrorist group had even been formed. I'm not even that old, I'm a millennial.
@TheReaverOfDarkness I like the name too, and yea, most people have never heard of the god. But you can go too far, my best friends sister named her son Anubis Pain 😢 I don't think she ever liked that poor kid.
Yeah. Like, she's pretty common in media. She's in Age of Mythology, I assume she's in Smite and Fate. Probably Percy Jackson as well. Apparently there's a band called Isis - I think I'd heard of it before. Plus I'm pretty sure we covered Egyptian mythology, or at least a simplified version of it, at some point in grade school Social Studies.
@TheReaverOfDarkness
Among many other connections with that name is a famous comment from Bill Clinton.
I had a poster of her on my wall as a kid.
This just won the award for the fastest thing I’ve ever busted out laughing to. Poor Alexa no. 1. Alexa stop!
Spectacularly great script and acting!
"Alexa Stop" are going to be my son's first words
I love when Gina shows up!
who's gina?
@@tommo123456789000000 Isis Cosby
@@tommo123456789000000 Gina played Ms. Cosby
Izzat pronounced Geena, or Gyna?
". . . that's not a name--"
"YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT!"
This one is one of the funniest I've seen in a while! 😂😂😂😂😂 Five out of five laughs!
Same, was starting to think I was dead inside and didn't laugh at jokes anymore, but so many giggles thru this one
Swiffer, that's not a name, You think I don't know that? exchange was hilarious!
I was just watching Severance and there's a character named Alexa in it. Every time her name is mentioned I automatically glance over to my Alexa expecting she'll start interrupting 😅😅
There are 10s of millions of WetJets of Asian descent around the world who finally feel seen 😢
You can change Alexa’s wake word to ‘Ziggy’. But if you have a Ziggy and Alexa in your house, it might be better getting a Siri based system instead
This was SO funny, all the little off-hand remarks had me rolling, and Alexa butting in over and over was genius. Loved it!
I f**king lost it at "his name is swiffer!" "my last name is wetjet!"
I've watched this about 6 times, and somehow it gets funnier every time. Well done.
The thought of someone walking around with the name Isis Cosby is just comedy gold
There's an Alexa that comes into my store all the time and I have to try really hard not to ask her random questions.
"Tom" I immediately figured he was my old friend from MySpace.
"No, I don't want to go to candy mountain!"
(Said by someone named Charlie).
The first thing I did after I got my Amazon device was to change the wake up name to something else that is not a human name, I have a friend who called Alexa as well and I have always thought it is so disrespectful to her by calling a soulless device that way, love the sketch, I have been wondering about it for years
This video deserves an award. Friggin' hilarious.
Julie's hair in this hilarious sketch is phenomenal.
I almost spit out my food on this one!! 🤣🤣🤣 And thanks for the reminder to add Swiffer refills to my shopping list.
We have this issue with a woman at work named Alexa. Every time we say her name, all of our devices go off.😂
Outstanding skit! I know a professor named Anita Ho and then there was the Letterkenny skit with Anita Dyck.
My coworker once had a customer named "Jizen Wang" & he had the paperwork to prove it.
Great concept. Great Writing. Great delivery. Just outstanding.
I used to share a name with a very specific hurricane... I already hated my name. At least after the hurricane, people no longer asked me if I spelled it with a C or a K. I eventually changed my full legal name, not just the first name but all of it. Much better.
I just realized that Alexa would’ve never survived as a product before the advent of voicemail. Can you even imagine the schananigans of putting Alexa in hearing range of an answering machine? Never knowing why you keep getting random magazine subscriptions or why oversized s*x toys keep getting delivered.
Omfg Swiffer Wetjet is just brilliant
This is one of the best skits I've ever seen. Bravo!
Adolph enters the chat
In the French part of Canada you cant call your daughter Aurore (Aurora), because she was torture to death by her step-mother, after she had killed her real mother. 2 movies has been done the 1st in 1952 and the 2nd in 2005.
My father was working on a mobile wallet program about a decade ago that was internally called Isis. Once the terrorist organization became a thing it was rolled into some other program and then quietly dropped.
Mat Dillon here, I’ve never felt more seen than when I first saw Office Space.
I think I'm going to have little chuckles remembering this for the next 24 hours!
I once knew someone with a nephew called Kovid. This was back in 2013. He had seven good years still to go.
My Alexa is going insane as I watch this. We're at war now, Julie.
ALEXA STOP!
One version of my name is Pee-Ing. Hey, when you've got to go, you've got to go.🤣
Very nice, Karen. Bravo.
I guess I should mute my Alexa before playing this video
Julie, just thank you for all the laughs.
This reminds me of Major Dad's wife Polly - in one episode you discover her middle name is Esther.
Funny story about DeleteMe. I'm a paid subscriber of theirs. I still get all the junk mail, but now it's addressed two the last two people who owned my house.
I saw that last one coming, at least her first name.
Not enough Julies in this video
Gold. Everyone was brilliant!
I met a couple who were going to name their daughter Isis, and this was around 2015. But they just said they were naming her after the Egyptian goddess.
I think she'll have to explain that forever.
People are going to forget all about Isis in like 5 years.
Julie I feel seen. It’s been a long hard life dealing with this issue
The moment when you're watching a video about Amazon Alexa with an Amazon Fire TV, and video pauses because one of the characters says, "Alexa, stop."
Freshman year in high school, there was this girl named Alexis, she was a pretty shy girl. But my teacher whenever he wanted to know an answer to something on google would look at Alexis and say Alexa what’s the answer? And she’d have to get on her phone and look up the answer.
yup my cousin is 25 and her name is Isis (a la the egyptian goddess) it used to be very cool ... and well its been a bit more difficult for her since our teens
I renamed my Alexa “Ziggy” less chance of Ziggy coming up 😂😂
Unless I am watching a Quantum Leap marathon of course 😂😂😂
Your parents this they’re naming you after a cool Egyptian god, and then…
That was seriously awesome
Unsurprisingly, Cortana never showed up
Friendly reminder that you can say something like "alexa/computer/echo/ziggy, change wake word to alexa/computer/echo/ziggy."
to change the word that makes it listen to your commands.
You can also change voice by saying change voice and it will give you different options.
The brunette hair really complements your skin tone/eye color! ❤
At first I thought Tom was going to be a Myspace throwback 😂
I used deleteme and now i cant find anymore of these julie nolke videos 😢
This might be your best yet.
😂😂 this was PERFECT Julie
My name is Bristol. All my life I've been teased and called Bristol board. 😢
this was gold
In Brazil, there is a shortage of last names so to stand out, they name their children unusual names such as Sparkplug.
What if Karen's full name was Karen Hitler .Now order some coffee and wait for the order announcement !
"... KEN HALTER?"
Karen HIL-ter! HIL-ter! Aitch eye Ell, THEN Tee, ee are!
I'll bet that coffee gets prepared perfectly though.
"Epstein" 🤣🤣
LOL! Ok, ALL of the following is true: My last name is Ripley (Believe It or Not, Alien), I married a man with the last name Warner who has a brother (Warner Brothers, har har), and my initials became BMW. Since my first name starts with a B, people started calling me Beamer. I got divorced and became Ripley again. The cool part, though, was that I got the same nickname when I was in the military that my dad got when he was in the military: Rip. 😂
Nothing as bad as in the HILARIOUS skit, but I can relate!
Knew a girl in the Navy and her last name was Cummings. Her rank was Seaman, Seaman Cummings.
Understand, I am laughing at the video. But now an editorial on the facts: "Computer, give me the weather forecast for today." How hard is it to just change Alexa to Computer. It would be like an episode of Start Trek. I say do it!
We have to say “oldest sister” now at my mom’s house!
The play-by-play announcer for the Baltimore Ravens (and a local news sports anchor) is Named Gerry Sandusky. For those that don't remember, go lookup "Jerry Sandusky Penn State" (No relation at all). But the fact that their occupations are both around football and Penn State isn't all that far from Baltimore makes it even more common that they get conflated.
Omg, that was good. I needed that today.
Things were real rough for football announcer Gerry Sandusky when Jerry Sandusky was arrested for molesting children.
Things were even rougher for the kids Jerry Sandusky assaulted. Gerry Sandusky was a minor inconvenience in comparison.
@@sammiller6631 Of course, but in the comment section of a video about ruined names, you can't understand why they would make this comment? You have to wake up and choose violence? Should I shame you for not acknowledging the Epstein victims?
@@sd.2528 Why would anyone need to use such a tragedy that they have no connection to? Were any of the victims of Jerry Sandusky ever acknowledged?
Or are they all still isolated John Does unlike those of Larry Nassar, which had more than 140 victims of Nassar's abuse appeared on stage together at the 2018 ESPY Awards and 4 of the victims testified before the U.S. Senate.
Why isn't Congress Representative Jim Jordan held to account when he was an coach during the Richard Straus sex assault scandals on male wrestlers, like Coach Joe Paterno was punished during the Jerry Sandusky scandal?
"wake up and choose violence" is a tired catchphrase that trivalizes a tragedy. "pedo" has become the new Nazi in desperate smear campaigns like the Drake-Kendrick Lamar feud.
@@sammiller6631 I'm not trivializing the tragedy. All I am saying is that if this kind of discussion is upsetting to you, know yourself and stay away from it.
It is a real tragedy and every human with an ounce of compassion's heart breaks for the victims. At the same time, the original comment (and Julies humor) was in no way out of line given the discussion and the contents of the video. Both can be true.
@@sd.2528 Stay away? What gives you the right to say shut up about a tragedy? Julie's humor isn't punching down. She's making fun of Karens showing how unaware they are of their behavior. That unawareness is what makes them the joke. So anyone who says "Things were real rough for football announcer Gerry Sandusky" is doing the same thing as those around the table, with the same level of unawareness. Being dismissive to me for calling that out like Swiffer and Tom did to Karen also shows your own blindspot of unawareness.
Omg this activated my Alexa
My heart goes out to every person named "Jeff" following the 22 Jump Street incident.
I was waiting for a German guy to turn up called Adolf... xD
Sometimes the opposite happens. I was born in 81, and went to school with a kid named Michael Jordan, so his name got cooler as he got older.
May I introduce you to DREW PECOX!
TOP TIER COMEDY!
Yeah, had to go upstairs into a bedroom away from That Object before watching this. 😁
Hilarious!
Kimchi! I miss Kim’s Convenience! Kimchi was my favorite!
Great bit!
This was so good
Hearing ah Annette Funicello- is slowly going away with the passage of time and people😂😅 not even knowing of her.
