OTHER DETECTORS
The New Yorker|October 09, 2023
ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! Have Awe got your attention? Wonderful. Here at BleepCo, we're dedicated to providing you and your family with tremendously sensitive smoke detectors. If your neighbor is having, say, a barbecue, or a house fire, our devices will sense it and you'll be the first to know.
BOB ODENKIRK AND NATE ODENKIRK
OTHER DETECTORS

With advances in A.I., we're now able to make appliances that can detect more than just smoke. Soon, you will be able to install the following new highly perceptive ceiling-mounted detectors.

IRONY Detector: Whether you're having a party or just an intimate meet-up with a few friends, failing to catch even a shade of irony in conversation can leave you looking for the nearest fire exit. When you hear the subtle whine of the alarm, simply nod your head and emit a brief knowing chuckle. There you're "getting" irony! As a bonus, the Irony Detector is never wrong. If this detector goes off when nothing ironic has been said, well, then, that's-ironic!
