50 fun things to ask Siri for a quick laugh
Apple’s Siri voice assistant is one of the most popular in the industry, for the obvious reason that it’s built into everything the company makes, from iPhones to the Apple TV. Aside from functions like telling you the weather and controlling settings, did you know it also tells jokes? Here’s a list of fun things to ask Siri during some downtime.
Editor’s note: This obviously doesn’t include every single fun thing to ask Siri, as that would be a very long list. Instead, we’ve picked a sampling of favorites.
What is Siri?
Before we go over the fun stuff, let’s cover some basics for those unfamiliar with Siri or the Apple ecosystem. Siri is a digital assistant which streamlines a variety of tasks. These include general information, sending messages, making calls, taking notes, playing music, navigating while driving, and much more.
Siri is triggered primarily through voice commands. It’s on every Apple platform — iOS, macOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, and HomePod.

Hey, Siri. Are you listening?
Voice assistants are commonly activated with trigger words, sometimes referred to as wake words or hotwords. Siri is no exception. If you want Siri’s attention, say “Hey Siri” within microphone range, followed by your command or question.
There are alternate methods of activating Siri. iPhone and iPad users can press and hold the home button, or the side button on models where a home button is absent. You can click the Siri icon on Macs, double-tap AirPods, or press and hold the digital crown on Apple Watches. If you have an Apple TV with a Siri Remote, you’ll have to hold down the Siri/microphone button and talk directly into the remote.
