Are kids these days even old enough to remember this smug little bastard? I feel so old now.

I remember! But Links(the cat) was so much better than Clipy!
I liked the cat too.
Love the cat! And the robot, he’s adorable!
The cat was my favorite.
Wasn’t one of the reincarnations of the cat called scribbles?
I don’t know about the rest, but this kid still remembers this annoying bastard.
it was the first thing I would turn off on the school computers.
My school used “Appleworks” until long after Clippy was gone!
I remember it too. We’ve had Windows 97 since before I knew how to type. This little dude always popped up whenever I so much as thought about writing a letter!
Windows 97 huh?
How did you get Microsoft to make you a special windows?
They took Windows 95 and edited it. It’s just Windows 95 with most hotfixes (At that time) with an edited splash screen and wallpaper then label it “Windows 97.”
The only real lasting impact was Office 97. You will notice that versions of Windows Office rarely match any operating system’s name.
Haha I remember this! My friends and I would ask it pointless questions like “Are you a boy or a girl?” We were kids and that was our favourite thing to do on the computer!
now a sophomore in High School, He’s been here since at least 5th grade……. And i agree he is a little jerk!!!!!
OMFG. Kill it. Kill it before it spreads…
WITH FIRE! Kill it with fire!
Nuke it from orbit, that’s the only way we can be sure.
Nuclear Launch Detected</b
looks like youre going to blow me up with a nuke, would you like some help???
Yup. I always changed it to the dog so he would watch me as I typed.
Your parents obviously never loved you.
Yup, I remember that guy…
Every time I tried to do something, he popped up and went “It looks like you’re trying to exhale.” I’m just sat there thinking “OH BLOODY HELL!”
I propose we send Pedobear after him.
Except Pedobear only likes little GIRLS. You need that cat-thing to go after the males.
It’s a paper clip…i don’t think it has genitalia.
BTW, the cat think is Shotacat, lurk moar.
Im twelve, and this guy seriously ticks me off. He seriously needs to DIAF.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, so how good to you program?
Yeah, those were the days… Thank the gods they’re over!
I just turned him off; I never had the misfortune of dealing with him.
Kill it with fire!
I thought he was cute!
I used to think about suing Microsoft for sexual harrassment thanks to that paperclip. He’d pop out while I was typing and LEER at me.
gawd i hate that little clip. i almost killed a computer b4 i figured out how 2 get rid of him. that was when i was in like, 2nd grade, tho. now we have the computers that will fall over if u breathe/sneeze on them.
As soon as i recognized it i started looking for a slegde hammer
Yup I remember him. My favorite joke was when he was in a comic and said “I see you’re trying to write a suicide note!”
I never saw it (I’ll be 22 on the 11th), but clippy has been referenced so much, I know right away what it is.
Some of us scary young people do know about past random things, some don’t.
I like my clippy. I make him say naughty things.
You can do that?
With enough drinks anybody will do anything…ANYTHING
I keep him as a pet.

Haha! Win!!
I remember this little bastard well (although I always deactivated him before doing pretty much anything else). I even remember back to the days BEFORE he existed, back when windows would crash at least once a day due to memory problems…
Come to think of it, it seems like not much has changed.
Lame windows jokes sure haven’t…
I Remember!
i’m 15 and yeah, i definitely remember clippy. I hated him with all the hate a 5 year old could muster.
I still kinda miss Scratchy the cat. He suddenly disappeared one update day and was never heard of again – I think the evil paperclip knew everybody liked him better and offed him.
The cat’s name was Links!
yes i remember him too. he’s upside down tho.
CLIPPY!
God, I remember him. Hilarious memories of the high school computer lab, and also unending tedium, where poking at the Office Assistant was much more enjoyable than actually focusing on the work (or the work was so easy you’d fly through it fast and have nothing to do, as you’d get yelled at for playing solitaire.) Ah memories.
I remember him. When I was 3-ish, I would just staring at him and laugh hystericly whenever he did something.
Little bastard. I’m 16 years old and still haunted by his glare at times… -shivers-
F*&@ that guy.
Ok, as annoying as this lil guy was, I have to say this particular photo is hilariously clever!
Office 2000. I remember him.
And the Duck Hunt dog.
Still in grade school though….
im ten and i remember that paperclip. I used to enjoy watching its antics. like blinking
starcraft FTW
I remember this thing! Totally loved the cat better.
This paperclip also played a role in “The Matrix for Windows”. Look it up on YouTube.
I heard a story that Bill Gates sent a flaming email to tech support demanding they get Clippy off his computer.
<animate?
i’m 12 and i do!
!
i remember this guy. i used to changed him to the cat or just turned it off.
Oh heck yes! I’m fifteen and the little arse drove me nuts. After that everytime I got on a school computer the first thing I did was switch him to the dog or cat. >.<
i’m only 17, and i remember clippy. but i like the dog better. i actually still had (and used) office 2003 until a few months ago.
yes im 16 and remember him, the first thing i learned on windows was how to turn him off
He is in hiding now plotting his revenge…yes, plotting his…oh wait, he got everyone back when Vista was released
Omg… Yes! I’m only 14 and I remember him!!! He was my buddy.
The only thing I know about Clippy is what I can learn by looking at these jokes and reading User Friendly. Is Clippy likely to pop up when you’re using Windows XP?
I’m 14 and I remember and hate this little paperclip with all my heart. It’s so damn condescending!!
Don’t feel old! I’m 14 and I still seem to have him (or his ghost) in my computer. I hate his holier than thou attitude, don’t you?
I’m sixteen and I remember that douche! And his stupid light bulb. In fact I pretty much spent all my time on the computer just changing assistants and then making them do stuff. The cat was awesome.
Ewwww, I wanted to stab this thing. And I’m 15. Every day in 4th grade comp. lab was horrible.
