I just set up Siri to do this: https://youtu.be/B32YLUa6bUg [[User:DPS2004|DPS2004&#39;); DROP TABLE users;--]] ([[User talk:DPS2004|talk]]) 15:54, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
:Should use the actual sounds, not just somebody reading the words.  [[Special:Contributions/172.68.141.82|172.68.141.82]] 00:56, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

The transcript has to follow the common layout as used in nearly all former comics. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 16:22, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

I feel like the explanation for this one missed the masturbation reference - the sounds of the sink and the zipper? [[Special:Contributions/172.68.189.181|172.68.189.181]] 22:36, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
:Agreed.  It's like when the guys are at Chuckie's house in Good Will Hunting and Morgan gets called downstairs with the guiltiest look on his face.  Here, the virtual assistant is doing something embarrassing and hides the evidence before addressing Megan's request.  Doing up his pants is the zip, washing his hands is the sink running, running around hiding his magazines and toys makes up the thumps, clicks, and slams.[[User:D5xtgr|D5xtgr]] ([[User talk:D5xtgr|talk]]) 05:11, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
::Not agreed. I don't see ANY reason to expect it about masturbation instead of just peeing. But I think the current explanation just discretely mentioning a pit stop suits either way to look at it. [[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]])

Reminds me of Fibber McGee's closet from Fibber McGee and Molly.  [[Special:Contributions/172.68.141.82|172.68.141.82]] 00:54, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

Someone should hang a warning sign on that TvTropes link, you are playing with fire here! --Pax
:The TvTropes links on this page actually have that. they have a mouseover (or alt text, or tooltip or whatever you wanna call it), mentioning the warning, when you hover over the link with the mouse. [[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]])
::What about those of us who don't use a mouse to click a link but instead tap the screen with a fingertip?  I tried a tap-and-hold but no warning came up. ---- {{unsigned ip|172.68.65.210}}


After several tries, I was able to turn off the "ok google" only by removing the right to use microphone from that application. "Not able to turn off" seem to been covered on my phone. Turn off assistant, yes, turn off listening and responding on "ok google" when on homescreen, no - when assistant was off, it just asked if it should turn it on. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 19:55, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Oversleeping / startled awake, then running into things (maybe because it's dark, or because balance can be off when you get up too fast) and flipping light switches seems more natural to me than locked doors. [[User:Elvenivle|Elvenivle]] ([[User talk:Elvenivle|talk]]) 00:52, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

-I think the above explanation completely misses the joke. The assistant is acting like they think the person invoking them are the police, flushing the evidence down, while rushing to the door to respond. {{unsigned ip|172.71.151.48|22:34, 20 June 2023}} *ORIGINALLY ADDED TO END OF EXPLANATION*
-:With the "Ziiiiip!" sound, if indeed a coherent narrative is intended then it seems more like a 'convenience break'. Though you could invent many other narratives (a hold-all being opened?), and ''that'' is most likely the joke, IMO. [[Special:Contributions/172.71.178.64|172.71.178.64]] 01:34, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
