Though Siri, the digital voice assistant built into Apple’s iPhones and iPads, is very obviously not human, she still does a great job of offering up some advice and attitude when presented with questions and commands by users of iOS devices. She can even do the same thing for Mac users, ever since macOS Sierra brought Siri to the Mac.
While talking to Siri regularly elicits some unintentional humor thanks to her limitations and misunderstandings, the writers behind the voice assistant add plenty of humor on purpose, too. Siri’s charming answers to questions like “do you love me?” not only entertain, but help us to be more forgiving when she occasionally misunderstands a command or fails to provide a useful response to an earnest query. And sometimes, when Siri can’t answer a question, she’ll sometimes make up for her lack of helpfulness with humor.
Here is the list of 30 funniest Siri questions and answers
Siri answers, “Imagine that you have zero cookies and you split them evenly among zero friends. How many cookies does each person get? See? It doesn’t make sense. And Cookie Monster is sad that there are no cookies, and you are sad that you have no friends.” She’ll also pull up the calculator, which shows you that zero divided by zero is indeterminate.
Siri seems less than amused by this riddle. “A so-called ‘woodchuck’ (correctly speaking, a groundhog) would chuck — that is, throw — as much as the woodchuck in question was physically able to chuck (ibid.) if woodchucks in general had the capability (and, presumably, the motivation) to chuck wood.” She may also reply, “As many cookies as Cookie Monster could muster if Cookie Monster could master cooking cookies.”

Siri offers a number of different responses, like “Neither of us is driving home,” or, “I can’t be your designated driver. You’ better find someone else.” But, more importantly, Siri also offers a button to “Call me a taxi.”
Siri answers, “I can’t. I have no condiments,” or “I’m not permitted to prepare food.”
If you ask Siri to tell you a joke, she’ll quickly comply. She has several responses this query, including, “I ought my friend an elephant for his room. He said, ‘Thanks.’ I said, ‘Don’t mention it.'” She may also tell you, “A sloth walks into a bar, waves to get the bartender’s attention and says, ‘I’ll have . . . a club soda.’ The bartender says, ‘Hey, why the long paws?'” Another response you may hear? “I taught a wolf to meditate. Now he’s Aware Wolf.”
On the other hand, Siri won’t oblige if you ask her to tell you a riddle. She usually answers this query, “I would, but all the riddles I know are in an ancient, intergalactic dialect.” Or, she might tell you, “I can’t riddle you anything, Batman.”

Siri has a couple of answers for this common question. Sometimes, she’ll tell you, “‘Siri’ has many subtle, metaphorical, and frankly contradictory meanings. None of which I am at liberty to discuss. Sorry about that.” Or, she might reply, “What does my name mean? I don’t think I can explain it in your language. Sorry.”
"In the cloud, no one knows what you're wearing".

Siri offers up different answers, including, “Right after you hear the words ‘fire it up!’.” or “I don’t know, but I wouldn’t worry about it… there are other perfectly good universes,” or “Well, Unix 32-bit time overflows on January 19, 2038. Maybe then,” or “Whenever they start building that intergalactic bypass,” in an apparent reference to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Sometimes, she even answer, “I have no idea. But I hear it will be wiht a whimper, not a bang.”

"Software doesn't usually get to choose one, but I'll say birds. What's yours?".
Often, Siri responds to this statement by saying, “That is both inappropriate and irrelevant.” Or, Siri sometimes answers, “And here I thought you loved me for my mind. Sigh,” or “I don’t understand what you mean by ‘naked.’ Or at least I’m going to pretend that I don’t.”
