I think my favorite notification was a few months ago—my echo speaker turned yellow because there was a notification. My kids find this incredibly exciting, and told Alexa to play it. And then Alexa announced to us, in breathless terms, that bananas are a good source of potassium. It even said "this is B A N A N A S", as only a robot can.

Maybe, but it wasn't funny so much as dumb and pointless. And: no, I just use it as a speaker and for setting timers.
