Rebel Wilson and Anthony Hopkins also appear in the commercial slot which will air during the big game on NBC.
Amazon have unveiled their star-studded 2018 Super Bowl commercial and it takes its inspiration from your new fave meme.
Set to air during the big game this Sunday (February 4th), the clip sees celebrities Cardi B, Gordon Ramsay, Anthony Hopkins and Rebel Wilson providing new voices for Alexa on the Amazon Echo device, with predictably hilarious results.
Check out the commerical below:
Alexa Loses Her Voice - Rebel Wilson - Cardi B | Amazon Super Bowl LII Commercial 2018 (1:30)
The Alexa meme had a surge in popularity recently with videos on YouTube replacing the robotic voice with everyone from Brendon Urie to Eleven from Stranger Things. Sadly, we still can't change the voice in real life but, hey, if this ad is successful maybe we can look forward to hearing Cardi B reading us the weather in the near future.
