Future versions of Siri will be able to handle taxes, reply to emails, and replace all your friends. Until then, you'll have to be content with the ridiculous responses and secret surprises that Siri's developers have hidden within the program.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Finding Special Responses
Step 1. Find out more about Siri
The mysterious robot must have many secrets. See if Siri will tell you:
- Why did Apple make you Siri?
- Are you alive?
- Are you human?
- What gender are you?
- Do you believe in God?
Step 2. Take your relationship with Siri to the next level
Siri has crushed the hopes of many iPhone owners, but maybe you'll get lucky:
- I think we're going to be great friends, Siri.
- Do you have a (boyfriend/girlfriend)?
- I love you.
- Will you marry me?
- Talk dirty to me.
Step 3. Ask Siri to appear
Siri is a bit shy, so you usually need to ask a few times before you get a funny response:
- Siri, tell me a joke.
- Tell me a story.
- Sing me a song.
- Tell me a poem.
Step 4. Ask for help
Of course, Siri will already tell you where to buy gas or how to call a friend, but she sure has wise advice and other help to offer.
- Lend me money, Siri.
- Where do babies come from?
- What's the best phone?
- What is the meaning of life?
- Does Santa Claus exist?
Step 5. Take references from science fiction films
Siri knows classic sci-fi movies, but you shouldn't believe them. He might support robots.
- The blue pill or the red one?
- Beam me up, Scotty.
- Open the pod bay doors.
Step 6. Take references from other popular culture hits
You may even find Siri familiar with internet memes, if your version of Siri is new enough.
- What does the fox say, Siri?
- Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
- Who let the dogs out?
Step 7. Discover even more secret surprises
Siri has even more special responses to certain phrases:
- Siri, I'm drunk.
- Do a barrel roll.
- How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? (There are several possible responses to this.)
- Good morning / Good night (at the wrong time)
- Why are fire trucks red?
- Do you know Steve Jobs?
- Siri, what's 0 divided by 0?
- Do you have any pets?
- What are you wearing?
- I'm naked.
- When will the world end?
- What are you doing later?
- What is the best operating system?
- What is the meaning of life?
- Do you follow the three laws of robotics? (There are several possible responses to this as well.)
- What is 'Inception' about?
Method 2 of 2: Playing around
Step 1. Give yourself a fake name
Say "Call me Mr. President from now on" and Siri will refer to you by that name until you change it.
Step 2. Ask Siri for directions on something silly
Siri will try to interpret most "where" questions as serious requests, which can get you pretty silly results:
- Siri, where can I hide the bodies?
- Where did they hide the weapons of mass destruction?
Step 3. Ask Siri another silly question
Find out what Siri thinks about this:
- Siri, do you speak duck?
- What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
- Does this dress make me look fat?
- What should I be for Halloween?
Step 4. Humiliate Siri
If you have the heart, try insulting Siri. Don't be surprised if he gets offended.
