- Without any modification, I connected my Echo Dot to a Douglas Fir singing tree for a horrifying artificial tree/intelligence experience.

THIS TREE WAS THE NIGHTMARE OF MY CHILDHOOD. I will never forget the time I walked into a pitch dark room in the basement, and suddenly those devilish green eyes sprang out of the darkness, accompanied by that wretched voice. Terrifying.
Austin Rozendaal - I know the feeling. My terror was an animated talking Smokey Bear at a local park. I refused to get out of the car at that park.
Geez, I would be afraid of that myself. It's bad enough I'm afraid of Christmas or Halloween decorations that talk or sing.
It's nice to know I'm not the only one with that phobia... as stupid as it sounds I'm being completely serious.
Austin Rozendaal I'm a kid and I collect them. 😂
Austin Rozendaal I have five I just got another one in the mail today
That actually worked really well. I know there's a video going around of Alexa controlling one of those singing fish.
Douglas Fir and Big Mouth Billy Bass is made from the same company: Gemmy
Thanks a lot...now I'm afraid of Christmas trees.
Why? there is nothing to be afraid of.
Alexa, Whose your *DADDY*
0:45 Uh- Aurora Borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?
SheepTV yes
yes
May I see it?
SheepTV ..... no
SEAMORE! THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!!!!
That is just creepy.
Hell yeah bro
This is the stuff nightmares are made of.
Someone needs to make a Siri tree fight with an Alexa tree.
Don't tempt me!! lol
Morgan Evetts This comment literally made me burst out into laughter. I can just imagine them passive-aggressively bickering while the mouths flap up and down. XD
i LOVED this tree when i was a kid but every other kid that came over was sobbing lol
The mouth matches up really well with the talking I noticed that the billy bass ones I have seen are not always matched up very well
These trees have an aux input, besides that the movement is based off of sound anyways lol
those xmas tree talks kicks ass but amazon alexa is even more awesome looks like you got one of them.
this is really cool. I still have my Douglas fir tree . it's a shame they do not make anything like this today as far as I know. I am sure years ago I saw a talking penguin that has an Aux input that was like the Douglas fir . when I was a kid are used to make my own tapes to be played on the Douglas fir full . now the Douglas fir has a mind of it's own with Alexia! Fantastic video
Well....that's slightly less terrifying.
Im so glad I wasn't aware of this as a child.
Creepy! I love it.
This is really cool! I wouldn't mind owning an Amazon Echo, but I don't think I can afford one at this point in time.
I bought a used on for $20.
I had one of those talking trees when I was young. We had so much fun recording ourselves saying a variety of things onto a cassette tape and then hooking it up to the tree making it say what we had just recorded. It turned out to be so freaking funny.
I wish they still made them. I have looked for them online but they don't seem to be made and sold anymore. I need to google for them again.
It would be much more fun having one now because we could hook it up to our phones and make it say all kinds of funny, goofy, stupid things.
I Love These Trees.
I WAS NOT READY FOR THIS
I'm glad you survived.
Who said I did
Alexa is Christmas Tree. She Sings Happy Birthday.
That would have been a great Halloween project rather than a Christmas project, cause that thing is both ugly and scary!
Wow you did this on Alexa’s birthday
Dammit, why does my nemesis always find a way to haunt me.
This is amazing.
ANYONE>>>? I have mine set and I can hear from the tree. But, 1: it has a hum when I put in plug... 2, there is NO motion from the tree :-( The tree works fine itself. so what's wrong? Is there a difference in Mono or stereo 3.5 cable to use?Is it something in settings on Dot app? Please help!
I was tormented by this hellish spawn as a child
This is truly an amazing creation
Thank you!
this is 10/10
Thank you.
Oh my God that's Terrifying
What Douglas Fir Model Is This?
I'm just glad I watched this first thing in the morning and not last thing at night :P
Azayles - don't be skeered!
databits How about plugging Teddy Ruxpin into it? :P You could build a circuit which generated tones based on sounds it heard :P
Azayles - I like your thinking!!
I'm used to it cuz I have 2 of these that stay in my room, everyday and everynight so yea
oh my god, my dad had one of those Douglas Fir trees. It was terrifying.
eh, it's not scary. not to me, anyway. iirc, the reason a douglass fir can be connected to things like that echo thingy, is because he used to come with an audio cassette. you could plug him into the cassette player and he'd play the tape while moving his mouth c:
i'm not sure how rare the casette is, but i've heard it before. it's very cheesy. probably wouldn't intrest you.
mewthemew I have the cassette. I am sure it's a different voice actor on the cassette than who ford the 3 built in songs on the Douglas fir tree
Matthew Richards yeah, i haven't heard it in a while (the person who had a video of the whole thing unfortunately shut down), but i do remember it being deeper.
Retro Skull oh neato!
Retro Skull cool
mewthemew same
Don't make Alexa mad or she'll go Red Queen on ya! XD
Fantastic!!!
This is the gemmy Douglas fir the talking Christmas tee
Wow she's just as smart as Cortana.
How'd you do that?
Oh killer trees, oh killer trees!🙀
I Love Her
Does this tree sing deck the halls
I have the big Echo and a Douglas Fir with an aux jack... gotta try this! :)
Good night sleep well I sure won't lol
That talking Christmas tree you have is named Douglas fir by gemmy Industries in 1996 to 1998 here is some of the description from the box I may look like an ordinary tree but I'm not I move my mouth in sync with the words and move my eyes
Amazon Dot + Tape adapter + Teddy Ruxpin = You get the idea
works great!
I did the same exact thing to my Douglas fir on my channel. It was in my unboxing video and I got the Douglas for off eBay for $45 and free shipping he's really big.
FESTIVE MOOD
how did you connect it, would love to see a diagram or how to video.
I can tell you how, so Alexa has a aux input where you can hook up to bigger speakers, and the tree has one as well except the aux for the tree is used for cassettes and cd players and phones, and you hook a aux cable up to them both and there you go
How do you have it hooked up to the echo?
A auxiliary chord coming out of the speaker Jack of Alexa and connected into the auxiliary Jack on the control panel for the tree.
I still want a Gemmy Douglass Fir, I haven't been able to find one anywhere in person. I'm sure there's a lot on eBay.
I have the same tree except with different eyes, and with the aux port and with its original box
When you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back... and it looks like this.
LOOK into my eyez...................
This novelty stuff is cool but scary! Sure its innocent now but one day the robots will rise up and vacuum our carpets! Oh, wait they already do thet....h,mmmmm..... :) ~Jack, VEG
Vintage Electronics Geek - I-Robot?
I didn't know you're a robot! Well, I-Human! :) ~Jack, VEG
Vintage Electronics Geek the vacuum cleaner part was funny good comment
Omg, i remember this christmas tree.
How to do that
One of my favorite gemmy item and teenage hood item
wolfmaster hey dude
well alright! that was one of the most f-ed up things ice
I've ever seen!
OMG I have to get one:) It's not horrible it's hilarious
Great for office parties!
Maegan Lowrey they sell douglas firs on ebay but they are expensive
Anybody knows where i can buy i tree like this?
eBay?
I'd love to freak people out with this.
NO!!! NOT DOUGLAS FIR!!!!!!!!!!
holy moly
Idk how big Festus is, but do. you know a man named Bret Kene? Just curious because I follow a podcast where he is offten on.
I sure don't, but thanks for asking!
You mean orften orn?
donpalmera Hey man
LdeinerProductions situation!
donpalmera altimers
that red is showing when the mouth is closed please fix it it's bugging me
Festus Missouri, home of the mac 'n cheese manatee, and the christmas tree alexa hacker.
... Interesting town...
What would you do if at 3am the eyes go red ?
Just got an alexa 2 days ago and tried this with mine
Did it work
You say, without any modification-----Can someone tell me HOW they hooked this up please?!!!!
BARB!!!! The tree has an input on the back, Alexa Dot has an output on the back. Use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable.
Barb D yea on the douglas fir has a aux input and a adapter jack plug he comes with and does not work on batteries, it dont require batteries
OMG I just managed to scoop up this exact model off eBay, and would love to do something like this with Siri
DO IT!!! LOL!
Gemmy Douglas Fir
Sounds like a gear might be giving out. Might need replacing
No, all of them sound that way.
MrWolfSnack mine doesn't. It sounds like a gear is slipping. I know these things because I work on these.
lakewi44
All the ones I ever had sounded like this and they worked all the time still.
Mine works fine, it's just noisy.
databits OK. Well if the eyes do stop opening and closing, you will need a 10 tooth plastic gear to replace it with. On the motor, there is a 10 tooth gear it makes the eyes open and close. Same goes for the mouth. I do repairs like this all the time on my channel! I collect singing fish and other things like that
omg i want to do that with my douglas fir tree lmfao
No mod needed?
Correct!
I still have mine but dis is creepy af
hi man great video it would be great if we could colab some time :)
cool
Oh GOD!
Very funny
Lol note to self...mute actual Alexa before watching this video 😅
Alexa in Stereo? :)
databits pretty much lol
This is called Douglasfir made by Gemmy industry’s
And echo dot made by Amazon
OH LORD
Either its an interference Or a cord.
Kedamono Wolf is a cord, back in the 90's is when douglas fir was made and had a aux jack, and you could plug in a cd player or cassette tape player, but today people use modern day devices like phones and other devices
Well that was'nt creepy at all!! (I'll be sleeping with the lights on tonight)
Did you see the guy that hacked a Big Mouth Billy Bass?
IAmNotAFunguy - Yes, that video inspired mine. :)
Can you hack a Furby next?
How do I do this? All the trolling of children I could do with this!
Fnaf in the making
nah jit alexa
Ask Alexa if it's connected to the c.i.a.
She said yes.
That would be the first time it has said yes. In other videos I've seen Alexa shuts off.
Your information is more than a bit dated.
still no replies??? I got a mono cable for it. (just like the one that was to come with it) But the mouth and eyes still don't move as Alexa talks! WHY??? what am I not doing?
Your tree could be broken?
Disliked for calling him creepy. That tree was the highlight of my childhood. It sang a Christmas song and was super cheerful. You guys are rude.
Juliette Cedar i have one, he is one of my favorite christmas decorations and im only 15 born in 2002
What if you in a dark room and you see 2 green eyes and hear Christmas Carols.
It's the veitnamese
I want it
They are everywhere on ebay
Is creapy
WTF
What's so creepy about it? It's a stupid toy and a computer voice, for gods sake.
O_O
O___O
