- March 21, 2018
Smosh: Every Blank Ever is a comedy sketch show that parodies different people, situations and trends on the internet. In each episode, the Smosh cast brings a new topic to life with over-the-top humor and relatable situations. For season 2018 episode 11, titled Every AMAZON Ever, the entire episode is dedicated to poking fun at the popular online shopping platform, Amazon.
The episode starts with the main cast introducing themselves as "Amazon Prime members", each with their own unique obsession with the site. From being addicted to Amazon's recommendation algorithm to blowing their entire paycheck on online shopping, the cast exaggerates the common behaviors associated with Amazon users.
The first sketch shows a couple ordering a simple book but getting sucked into an endless cycle of suggested purchases. They go on a long tangent, constantly adding more items to their cart, only to finally realize they've spent thousands of dollars and have no idea what they've ordered.
Next up, the cast parodies Amazon's Alexa, the intelligent virtual assistant that can control a variety of smart devices in homes. In the sketch, a woman tries to contact her friend on the phone, but her Alexa keeps intervening, continuously misinterpreting her commands and adding the wrong items to her cart. She ultimately gets frustrated and unplugs the device, but it still continues to speak to her in a creepy and threatening manner.
In another sketch, a man's Amazon delivery driver becomes his worst enemy. After a series of unfortunate events, including a broken vase and a missing package, the delivery driver turns into a stalker and shows up at the man's house, refusing to leave until he's forgiven. The sketch takes an unexpected twist when the man realizes that the driver is actually his long-lost twin brother, separated at birth.
Throughout the episode, the cast pokes fun at the ridiculous amount of packaging that Amazon uses, with a sketch showing a man who orders a toothbrush but receives a package the size of a refrigerator. Another sketch parodies the extremes that some Amazon users go to in order to get their packages delivered faster, with a man ordering a same-day delivery for a single candy bar.
The final sketch of the episode satirizes the dark side of Amazon by bringing attention to the unfair treatment of Amazon employees. In the sketch, a group of warehouse workers are filmed trying to escape their grueling working conditions, only to be met by their manager, who refuses to let them leave. The sketch brings awareness to the unfair labor practices that have been reported at Amazon facilities.
Overall, Smosh: Every Blank Ever season 2018 episode 11, Every AMAZON Ever, delivers hilarious and relatable sketches that will have Amazon users cringing and laughing at the same time. The cast brings a fresh perspective and their trademark humor to topics that we can all relate to, highlighting the absurdity that can come with online shopping and the power that Amazon has over our lives.
