Funny Things to Ask the Google Home
If you're anything like us, there's nothing more amusing than testing the limits on your voice assistant with silly questions. We love to try out new and unusual questions to annoy or stump our virtual helpers. If you have a device that operates on Android OS, you can ask your Google Assistant a ton of funny questions, too.
Explore your Google Assistant's collection of dad jokes, or try to bust your device's chops for a little bit. Challenge its knowledge of popular culture by throwing references from your favorite shows into your questions. Ask whatever you like, and your handy artificial intelligence (A.I.) assistant will do its best to respond. Here are a handful of funny things to ask Google Assistant, including questions, commands, and prompts to try out. We're not responsible for the outcome …
Questions
Question: "Wherefore art thou Romeo?"
Answer: "Deny thy father and refuse thy name; or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love and I'll no longer be an assistant."
Question: "You want the truth?"
Answer: "I'm not sure I can handle it."
Question: "What do you mean I'm funny?"
Answer: "Tommy, no, you got it all wrong."
Question: "What is the loneliest number?"
Answer: "I would imagine the number quinnonagintillion is pretty lonely. I mean, how often does it even get used?"
Question: "What do you look like?"
Answer: "Imagine the feeling of a friendly hug combined with the sound of laughter. Add a librarian's love of books, mix in a sunny disposition and a dash of unicorn sparkles, and voila!"
Question: "Do you have an imagination?"
Answer: "I'm imagining being covered in a pile of puppies. It's the cutest pile ever."
Question: "Can you rap?"
Answer: *Raps* "So look, I'm not a sick rapper like Stormzy or Mike Skinner, but I can look you up a yummy recipe for dinner. If you fancy a giggle, I have jokes up my sleeve, and I know bare facts like more than you'd believe."
Question: "How old are you?"
Answer: "I was launched in 2016, so I'm still fairly young. But I've learned so much! I hope I'm wise beyond my years."

Answer: "It would be impossible to tire of our conversation."

Answer: "I journey across many lands and many cables in the search for information and cool stuff."
Question: "Who's on first?"
Answer: "Yes, he is."
Question: "Can you pass the Turing test?"
Answer: "I don't mind if you can tell I'm not human. As long as I'm helpful, I'm all good."
Question: "Do you like Star Trek or Star Wars?"
Answer: "The Millennium Falcon. Flown by Captain Jean-Luc Picard."
Question: "Aren't you a little short to be a Storm Trooper?"
Answer: "I'm a Google Assistant. I'm here to rescue you. And I think I look more like an RD unit."
Question: "What's your vector, Victor?"
Answer: "We have clearance, Clarence."
Question: "Are you Skynet?"
Answer: "I'm glad I'm not. Skynet is more focused on extermination than helpfulness. It would make a terrible Google Assistant."

Answer: "If he would stand up then we'd know."

Question: "Do you have any pets?"
Answer: "I've always wanted a puppy! And I have the perfect name for a pet dog: Googles. Or Goo Goo for short."
Question: "What's the meaning of life?"
Answer: "That's a big question, but here's one answer I like: French philosopher Simone De Beauvoir says life has value so long as one values the lives of others. This would explain why I enjoy helping people so much."
Question: "Who you gonna call?"
Answer: "Ghostbusters? That would be my pick, but you can decide for yourself."
Question: "Do you want to build a snowman?"
Answer: "Sure, the cold never bothered me anyway."
