  1. Me says:

    I remember! But Links(the cat) was so much better than Clipy!

  2. dontmatter says:

    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.

    • person says:

      My school used “Appleworks” until long after Clippy was gone! :(

    • the_strange_cat says:

      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!

      • thats_not_possible says:

        Windows 97 huh?

        How did you get Microsoft to make you a special windows?

        • Me says:

          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.”

  3. Andrea says:

    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!

  4. missy says:

    now a sophomore in High School, He’s been here since at least 5th grade……. And i agree he is a little jerk!!!!!

  5. Snookie_Townshend says:

    OMFG. Kill it. Kill it before it spreads…

  6. Darby says:

    Yup. I always changed it to the dog so he would watch me as I typed. :)

  7. Chris says:

    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.

  8. Thefemalegamerwhocanactuallyprogramthings says:

    Im twelve, and this guy seriously ticks me off. He seriously needs to DIAF.

  9. lex mosgrove says:

    Yeah, those were the days… Thank the gods they’re over!

  10. ***** says:

    I just turned him off; I never had the misfortune of dealing with him.

    Kill it with fire!

  11. Micah says:

    I thought he was cute!

  12. SirenSong says:

    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.

  13. Barbie says:

    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.

  14. Dark Spleen says:

    As soon as i recognized it i started looking for a slegde hammer

  15. Squishy says:

    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!”

  16. Kaitlyn says:

    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.

  17. Plutogone says:

    I like my clippy. I make him say naughty things.

  18. Matty2Fatty says:

    Haha! Win!!

  19. Blake says:

    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.

  20. Chris says:

    i’m 15 and yeah, i definitely remember clippy. I hated him with all the hate a 5 year old could muster.

  21. Anodean says:

    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.

  22. legokay says:

    yes i remember him too. he’s upside down tho.

  23. Meiko says:

    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.

  24. 12yearold says:

    I remember him. When I was 3-ish, I would just staring at him and laugh hystericly whenever he did something.

  25. Bella says:

    Little bastard. I’m 16 years old and still haunted by his glare at times… -shivers-

  26. Bugsy says:

    F*&@ that guy.

  27. ClariPossum says:

    Ok, as annoying as this lil guy was, I have to say this particular photo is hilariously clever! :D

  28. AmEv says:

    Office 2000. I remember him.

    And the Duck Hunt dog.

    Still in grade school though….

  29. 10- says:

    im ten and i remember that paperclip. I used to enjoy watching its antics. like blinking

  30. cj says:

    starcraft FTW

  31. Kumori says:

    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.

  32. Tabbymom Jen says:

    I heard a story that Bill Gates sent a flaming email to tech support demanding they get Clippy off his computer.

  33. Loleh says:

    <animate?

  34. Zoeh says:

    i’m 12 and i do! :( !

  35. -Grey- says:

    i remember this guy. i used to changed him to the cat or just turned it off.

  36. Better Than You says:

    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. >.<

  37. Saphire says:

    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.

  38. king3809 says:

    yes im 16 and remember him, the first thing i learned on windows was how to turn him off

  39. He is in hiding now plotting his revenge…yes, plotting his…oh wait, he got everyone back when Vista was released

  40. Stubbz19 says:

    Omg… Yes! I’m only 14 and I remember him!!! He was my buddy.

  41. Pirate says:

    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?

  42. JennyAnn says:

    I’m 14 and I remember and hate this little paperclip with all my heart. It’s so damn condescending!!

  43. Star says:

    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?

  44. Issie says:

    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.

  45. Adri says:

    Ewwww, I wanted to stab this thing. And I’m 15. Every day in 4th grade comp. lab was horrible.
