Siri has always been able to tell a joke or two, but it appears that Apple has programmed the voice assistant to be able to serve up a whole slew of new puns.
The new jokes recently started rolling out to Siri-equipped devices, according to MacRumors.
Most of the jokes are pretty cringe-worthy, but they're still likely to summon a chuckle.
To try it out yourself, say: 'Siri, tell me a joke'.
She might serve up any number of jokes, including: 'How should you address an alligator in a vest? In-vest-a-gator'.
Another example of a joke: 'What's the difference between roast beef and pea soup? Anyone can roast beef'.
Some are quite clever, such as: 'Here comes a groaner: I'm not a big fan of nesting dolls. They're so full of themselves'.
Siri also has a whole new library of knock knock jokes, which can be accessed by asking Siri 'knock knock'.
Apple regularly issues updates to Siri to give the digital assistant more personality and capabilities, MacRumors noted.
She's also known to have quite the comical side, however.
Users have been known to jokingly ask Siri questions like 'What is zero divided by zero?', 'When is the world going to end?' and 'Siri, are you real?'
Siri has also been known to be a good sport when users try to address her by a competitor's name.
For example, if a user says 'OK glass' -- the term used to wake up Google's smart glasses -- Siri will respond by saying, 'very funny. I mean, not funny 'ha-ha' but funny'.
Siri may be getting even more jokes in the future, too.
Apple recently scooped up Google's former head of artificial intelligence John Giannandrea to improve the voice assistant.
Mr Giannandrea, a machine learning expert who joined Google in 2010, will report directly to CEO Tim Cook, it has emerged.
The Scottish born specialist announced that he would be stepping down from his role at the search engine earlier this month.
It is hoped his expertise can be used to make Siri smarter, as the pioneering software continues to lag behind newcomers from rivals Google and Amazon.
Apple has struggled in the AI market as of late, as competitors have surged ahead.
