"Hey Mercedes" funny phrases - Just for fun Thread

I guess many of us tried the "Hey Mercedes, tell me a joke" and got "Sorry, my engineers were German".

What did you ask her that made you smile?

A good one is always "Hey Mercedes, what do you think of (Insert Car Brand Here)" and she responds with "The same as you, otherwise you would not be sitting here."

Not exactly the funny kind but...
(the driver driving that vehicle asked) "Hey Mercedes, how you like my outfit " "I would say: A very nice exterior"
"Hey Mercedes, what's your favourite clothing? "I'm into cylinders"
"Hey Mercedes, what do you think of BMW?" "They are nice, I like seeing them in the rearview mirror" OR "Good friends from Bavaria"

The word “horsies” activates the voice commands. I think that’s pretty funny.

One of the best.

For fun, ask what is the Black Lives Matter movement. It goes on for a very long time with detailed descriptions. Interesting that it has access to such databases

Try, "Hey Mercedes" ...... "Tell me ANOTHER joke". I think we have heard 15 or more different jokes that way.

I try to make her understand an address, then eventually give up and say " Hey Mercedes, **** you".

I was hoping "Hey Benz" works since it's 2 less syllables. "Hey Mercedes" is just so mouthful.

I use the button on the steering wheel for it most if not all the time. Much faster and more reliable.

Good idea and probably better to disable the "Hey Mercedes" voice activation as well so it isn't always listening plus interrupting conversations incase it suddenly misheard certain phrases as "Hey Mercedes".

However our new 2021 doesn't have that sensitivity. It seems to have been softwared out, and it's much improved in that regard.

I just say "Mercedes (and the command)" without pause and it works fine. No need to do a two step process.
"Mercedes I'm cold" and it raises the heat.
"Mercedes I'm hungry" and it displays the closest places to eat.
And my favorite: "Mercedes I'm thirsty" and it displays local bars! I love this car LOL

It is certainly a nice button to have, I used it all the time to activate LINGUATRONIC when "Hey Mercedes" wasn't a thing yet glad they kept the button and not force you to use "Hey Mercedes"

I asked today:
Hey Mercedes, can you fly?
Mercedes: Did you order this extra?

Here’s another one I tried,
Hey Mercedes, tell me a joke
Mercedes: Sorry I’m busy looking at the road

She’s hilarious

GLC 300 Coupe

Anyone tried - "hey mercedes - activate ejector seat"

On mine, it says "activating ejector seat.......10...9...8 ........only joking"

I have seen some online videos where it also opens the sunroof and makes rocket noises.

I would really like the full effect to scare my passenger,

I know, got nothing better to do.
