It appears Google’s Super Bowl advertisement set off a host of Google Home units.

In the commercial, which was out prior to today’s game, different scenarios are shown, with users saying “Okay, Google,” which causes them to light up. However, it seems to have simultaneously activated numerous units, all over the country.

That Google Home commercial had my Google Home going crazy. #thanksgoogle #SuperBowl
