Turns out it’s a lot easier to defend your house from bandits when you have the Google Assistant. Take it from @IncredibleCulk. #HeyGoogle pic.twitter.com/9OifLkJHOP

Heavy screen time appears to impact childrens' brains
Macaulay Culkin shot to fame as Kevin McAllister in Home Alone, a role that he played for the first two versions of the movie.
#heygoogle Have you ever wondered what Kevin McCallister is like as an adult? Me neither. But just in case you’re curious you should totally watch this #ad pic.twitter.com/uO9qMPrUT3

The first film showed Kevin being left home as his family flies off for a vacation. It followed a series of attempts by two burglars to rob the house. Kevin managed to outsmart the two burglars using many different ways.
In the ad, Kevin is shown using the Google Assistant to create an impression that Kevin is not home alone saving him going through all the trouble shown in the iconic film.
From adding aftershave to his shopping list to reminding Kevin about cleaning the sheets later, to also turn down the temperature by two degrees, Google Assistant does it at all.

While some also had some more to ask Google to do in the future
Please make Home Alone 4, Macaulay Culkin as parent.
