I thought this was some sort of comedy sketch but no it's apparently real and they're taking orders now (not that I can reach their website as my Malwarebytes browser protection really doesn't want me to go there).
Have a special "fwend" listening in on everything you do costs $99.
I think I'd rather have a Tamagotchi.

That advert is incredibly terrible and really does feel like a parody.
Gamer guy seems to get abused by his, whilst looking like he is having a terrible time, and the guy at the end suddenly has this look of "how do I get myself away from her?" as soon as she starts to talk about it.

I'm going to preorder one just for the lols. It looks stupid and if it even exists I want to make it do stupid stuff.
Then it can live next to my wifi egg tray.

I'm actually surprised it's not a paradoy when the woman described her as falafel as "dank".

It’s such a weirdly dystopian advert. Even the music makes it feel like there’s something deeply wrong about the whole thing.

That thing looks like the fall-down-alarm my grandfather wore around his neck in the assisted living place.

Crikey, I just watched it. It seems like the most annoying thing ever. I can't stand it when actual people I like feel the need to send random texts all the time about nothing. Paying for a device to harass me 24/7 would be like torture.

If we look at films like Blade Runner 2049 where AI companions like Joi exist...well, this is where it starts I guess.

Jesus. That could honestly be the trailer for an A24 movie.

I'm still not entirely convinced that this isn't just going to be an ARG or some advert for a new season of Black Mirror. Not that the product itself seems implausible (it feels inevitable something like this will happen sooner rather than later), but I can't imagine anyone signing off on that advert if they weren't pulling everyone's leg.

Unless the black mirror pr team have massive foresight this is real, there's posts on his LinkedIn going back years talking about this.

The ad really highlights the awkwardness of having to pull out your phone every time your chest buddy chips in with something. If my phone started buzzing every time I were sitting down to eat a dank falafel that friend would get ghosted all the way to the nearest cex.
