The Super Bowl is over but Amazon’s ads definitely aren’t.

Amazon, which released its Super Bowl ad on Jan. 31, followed up after the game with another short clip featuring Leslie Jones and JB Smoove.

In the spot produced by Lucky Generals and D1, Amazon’s own creative team, the same student who asked Cardi B how far Mars was, then asks Alexa to call “Ashley.” Jones comes on and tells him, “Yeah, it’s about time you called that girl” only to be interrupted by JB Smoove who suggests letting the “love marinate.”

Jones has to remind JB who the Alexa replacement is while the student looks bewildered.
