Other funny ways to activate your Google assistant

Not everything, every day needs to be serious and news ... as I'm listening to the radio now and it's making me a little sad.

So, finding this little tidbit on my Google feed made me gigglesnort and I thought it warranted sharing.

We all remember the video that went around about the Italian grandmother who was given a Google Home mini, and struggled to get it to recognize her request.  Love when she wanted to sing with it.


It definitely reminded me of setting up similar situations with our parents.

I love my little minis around the house and others, and I'm clearly getting a little lax with them and have caught myself saying "alright Google" instead of the typical hotword.  Sometimes it works tho'.

Which is why I found this article by 9to5Google especially funny.


It's a funny watch, but if you don't want to watch, here are some of them that worked:

Okee Doodle / Hey Doodle
OK Boo Boo / Hey Boo Boo
OK Goo Goo / Hey Goo Goo
Cocaine Poodle
OK Strudel / Hey Strudel
Hey Noodle / OK Noodle
Egg Noodle
Eggo Waffle
OK Hugo / Hey Hugo
OK Dougal / Hey Dougal
OK Frugal / Hey Frugal
Hey Googs
OK Guuurrll
OK Goku / Hey Goku
Hey Nurgle
Dis Google — was supposed to be deactivated as of July 2, 2019, but seems to work just fine.
Say Google — works about 50% of the time

Now, I tried a few of them... I think his accent helps a lot to 'blur' the sounds enough to make it close enough.  Cocaine Poodle didn't work for me.  And EGGO WAFFLE worked??!?

What ones have you tried?
