A scene in the second most recent episode of Ted Lasso, when a character uses Siri on their iPhone triggered Siri on my HomePod Mini in the same room. Siri attempted to follow the instructions spoken by the character but failed miserably. If Apple is going to plug their half baked assistant in their shows, the least they could do is prevent it from being invoked. It may vary by language – I’m in Australia and the character speaking has a British accent, yet sounds nothing like me.

There was also a period of about 18 months where running water in my shower would trigger Siri on my Apple Watch. Dismissing Siri was pointless, as it’d get triggered again 5 seconds later.




The same Ted Lasso thing happened to us. It's strange because Apple produces this content. You'd think they'd make sure their Apple+ content doesn't lead to bad Siri hiccups


The increasing blatant Apple product placement in Ted Lasso is really really getting to me. It’s utterly tasteless.
