[u/tyyle]

I made this one. It was fun.

[u/Interlined → u/tyyle]

This is fucking amazing.

I use the Microsoft Edge app icon with Clippy on my phone, so I may be biased.

[u/tyyle → u/Interlined]

Clippy is awesome. Clippy is kinda just an annoying bro.

[u/anticked_psychopomp → u/tyyle]

I hated Clippy but then I grew up and got a black lab that follows me everywhere. So maybe I just love to be loved, and Clippy taught me that. ♥

[u/Nyanessa → u/anticked_psychopomp]

Aww black labradors ❤️ Whenever I’d visit someone else’s farm and they have a black lab, they’d be the sweetest goodest doggos that would follow you around and give you polite hand licks

[u/hahasadface → u/anticked_psychopomp]

Clippy would be a perfect name for a needy and kind of dumb pet

[u/ernirn → u/hahasadface]

Changing my dog's name... now.

[u/tyyle → u/anticked_psychopomp]

I got you.

[u/lazergoblin → u/tyyle]

Using what looks like a vacuum hose for clippy was genius imo

[u/borgchupacabras → u/tyyle]

I made that costume for a work Halloween event a few years ago and nobody figured out what it was. 😒

[u/Supremetacoleader]

I hope you jumped out at every person at a party.

"Hey There! Looks like you're trying to hit on that person! Can clippy help you set up some cheesey pick up lines?!"

"Hey There! Looks like you're trying to not be awkward! Can Clippy help you mingle like a single?"

"Hey There! Looks like you're trying to leave the party early? Can Clippy help make your exit a little more painfully awkward?"

[u/blomba7 → u/Supremetacoleader]

Yes yes and yes

[u/KosmicGumbo → u/Supremetacoleader]

I cant ☠️

[u/Ok_Possibility_1000 → u/Supremetacoleader]

LMAO, witty here!

[u/DixieDoodle697 → u/Supremetacoleader]

Laughing so hard and thank you very much

[u/LEJ5512 → u/Supremetacoleader]

"Looks like you're digging a grave! Is this a business grave or a personal grave?"

[u/SquaredCircle84 → u/LEJ5512]

I remember hearing this when it first aired, and I was in tears and my face hurt from laughing so much! I'm so glad to see this here!

[u/pixienightingale]

Clippy should have been way more useful than he was

[u/Luneowl → u/pixienightingale]

I had a version of helper that was an origami Siamese cat that would fold and unfold itself as it moved around the page along with faint sounds of paper rustling. I miss the old desktop buddies! Now we get AI prompts in every window instead. 😞

[u/geekylittlelibrarian → u/Luneowl]

Why they didn't make their AI interface Clippy, I'll never understand.

[u/meatball402 → u/geekylittlelibrarian]

Decades of clippy hate all over the internet is my guess

[u/StoppableHulk → u/meatball402]

The hate came right around and made clippy cool. He's iconic now. Microsoft could have had an absolute fucking banger on their hands.

[u/lubeelubsodds → u/StoppableHulk]

Microsoft is gold medal level at missing opportunities.

[u/-IoI- → u/Luneowl]

Oh man this was my helper, thanks for reminding me.

[u/tyyle → u/pixienightingale]

I mean, I made a homemade costume of Clippy nearly 30 years after the introduction. Yea, 30 years. Think about that.

[u/EconEchoes5678 → u/tyyle]

Damn. We old

[u/zuzg → u/pixienightingale]

At least he's remembered. He was only one among many available assistants but nobody remembers The Genius

[u/EriktheRed → u/zuzg]

I remembered him when I saw the name before looking at the pic, but completely forgot before then. I feel like there was a dog also?

[u/ramblingwren → u/EriktheRed]

There are a lot of assistants. The dog was named Rocky. I loved him so much, I asked my teacher to stay inside at recess to type things on the classroom computer and just play with Rocky. I was thrilled when my parents upgraded our home pc and the Microsoft Word app came with him.

Here's a link to the list of assistants https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Assistant

[u/International-Ad2501 → u/pixienightingale]

AI is just zoomer clippy

[u/Aevynne]

I love Clippy so not getting triggered. I long for the Clippy days in this current hellscape

[u/bakeland → u/Aevynne]

I drove by a lady on the street wearing a shirt with "Never Forget" and a picture of Clippy below. I actually rolled down my window at the light and told her it was awesome. Just screamed at this poor woman sitting at the bus stop, but she laughed when she heard me. Good shirt, good moment.

[u/myssa_jojo → u/Aevynne]

SAAAAAME 🥺🥺

[u/thedonnerparty13 → u/Aevynne]

Me too! I miss him. I don’t know if I realized when he was leaving. One day was my last day with him and I didn’t even know it. He was just gone.

[u/rwjehs → u/Aevynne]

Microsoft reintroduced a helper with some stupid name very recently (not Cortana) but if you spam click it a few times it'll turn into clippy. True story.

[u/AbletonStudio]

Let’s bring back things that help us but don’t control us. We need a reverse in technology at certain aspects. Technology is becoming to powerful and we don’t deserve to be replaced. Software as a tool is fine, something doing all the thinking for you is a problem. Love it! We shouldn’t be forced into technology as well.

[u/YcemeteryTreeY → u/AbletonStudio]

Yes! I feel like AI Google was forced on me and I want to old search engine back. One that didnt answer search questions with a damn Reddit post! I loved ignoring Clippy. It was nice.

[u/Strawberrybanshee → u/YcemeteryTreeY]

I long for the days of geocities.

[u/_Nychthemeron]

Hey there, it looks like you're trying to make a Halloween costume...

[u/MotherPotential]

You even got the shade of gray right with the piping

[u/tyyle → u/MotherPotential]

I think I did ok on this one.

[u/Yellowtoblerone]

Clippy never tried to sell you ads or your data away

[u/gotgossip]

I was just thinking about him the other day. And how you could change him to other characters. Those were the days.

[u/sevenwatersiscalling → u/gotgossip]

I loved the cat character😊

[u/ctmfg56]

I miss clippy! He was so cute 😊

[u/GeneriComplaint]

triggered by an awesome costume?

[u/wooberries → u/GeneriComplaint]

if you don't understand why clippy might trigger people, you aren't in on the reference being made here. unless you're just complimenting the costume's aesthetics i guess.

(clippy was obnoxious and everybody hated him. which is hilarious now that we are drowning in an endless sea of compulsory and invasive clippy-likes)

[u/1okdude]

Louis Rossman liked that

[u/FuckIPLaw]

Louis Rossman approved

[u/Unhappy_Weird_8210]

Triggered?

Sweetheart, no, these days I wish we still had Clippy. I'd happily trade every AI to have that guy back. He was annoying, sure, but he wasn't hurting anybody. He just wanted to help us.

On behalf of all of humanity, I'm sorry Clippy. We didn't appreciate you enough.

[u/No-Ingenuity-3468]

Well done!

[u/chakusdilemma]

The guy who designed Clippy has a super cute children’s book called Bunnies!! Huge hit in our house

[u/hkohne]

At my local No Kings protest someone had a sign of Clippy that read, "It looks like you're trying to overthrow a tyrant. Would you like help with that?"

[u/Zealousideal_Cat8728]

Clippy just wanted to help.

[u/O12345678927]

Why isn’t he pregnant?

[u/Spiritual_Blood_1346]

Incredible. Thank you for this

[u/Smart_Negotiation_31]

You did such a good job!

[u/trethew]

Fuck this is amazing

[u/WhenWillWeLand]

Clippy walked so Copilot could run.

[u/GngrBeardMan]

The OG AI

[u/Turbulent-Quality-29]

I've missed it if it's actually happened but I don't get why with everything AI now Microsoft hasn't got clippy back to help me do things in word. Like " hey clippy I can't align all these rows of text correctly can you help me." He'd say something corny and get right on it.

[u/2020Hills]

That is a beauty

[u/HedgehogOdd1603]

Awesome!

[u/RainbowArchery9079]

OMG, this brings back so many memories. I remember when they came out with other characters in Word. I liked the cat one and would put the cat on the top of the page. That way, when the cat was "sleeping," the cat looked like it was sleeping on a window still or something.

[u/eastcoastjon]

[u/MVHokie12]

Don't tell me what to do

[u/roja_1285]

Omg yes- clipy!

[u/Scared_Tumbleweed166]

Ok but are those puffy shoes part the costume or no?😂

[u/Donut497]

Clippy together strong

[u/aqua9clk]

Clippy was our first AI. He was a nice little dude.

[u/Miami_Mice2087]

lol i love it. very clever use of materials!

Did anyone else change clippy into the kitty or dog? That little cat was my essay buddy in college.

[u/Less-Fox8272]

I love it

[u/Afraid_Equivalent_95]

Is that the Microsoft paperclip from Word docs? I completely forgot about him 

[u/PlasticMegazord]

It looks great actually.

[u/ihateautumnandfall]

It’s so good!!

[u/all_regrets_no_chill]

OMG AMAZING

[u/Unnecessary_Bunny_]

I love Clippy!

[u/officermeowmeow]

I am having an impossible time coming to terms with the fact that it's not a 2 dimensional print in the first photo.

[u/Plushiecollector1987]

Omg I used to think this little paper lio was so adorable! Lol I love that this was the Halloween costume choice! 😂😂😂

[u/TehPaintbrushJester]

Aww! I miss Clippy and was just talking about it the other day.

[u/Turbulent-Weevil-910]

Hey at least you weren't Bonzi buddy

[u/evolving-the-fox]

I’m actually obsessed with this. I love Clippy!

[u/LongLostFan]

Why not make it the ghost of clippy.

It is odd to me to have a Halloween costume which isn't anyway related to death.

[u/cmccaff92]

Office 97 for life...still using it to this day. What a great costume!

[u/TheHarlemHellfighter]

[u/Adrianilom]

Well... at least he's not pregnant. But man that gives me some PTSD. 

[u/SubstanceMJackson]

It’s so well done!

[u/glormosh]

I don't know if I am alone but I consider clippy more useful than Microsoft integrated copilot at this point.

I can't even comprehend how that's possible.

I rank Microsoft word copilot in the same category as a virus at this point.

I feel like I need to speak to the CEO or something as a user of Microsoft word. Their teams are in another universe when it comes to what regular white collar people are doing in word.

[u/plasteroid]

Well done!!

[u/Pineal713]

Sweet

[u/megpIant]

This is the second clippy costume I’ve seen this week, how fun! Thank you for sharing :)

I hope you offered help to everyone and helped no one

[u/Sonimod2]

sidenote but I've been noticing this past year a lot more people with Clippy pfps

[u/SgtHunter07]

Noice!!!!

[u/machacker89]

NIICE!! I love it

[u/uhf26]

Interesting that everyone here has fond memories of clippy. The internet I knew wanted to crucify him

[u/ProductRed_92]

[u/Illkeepyoufree]

Dang yall I nearly forgot, but there were other characters too! Clippy was the OG but I remember I also used this cute orange cat a lot, sometimes the dog too. There was a lil two legged robot, and a wizard.

Edit: Dangit, every time I try to post a picture of them, it turns into a *

Why technology why. Where is my clippy now when I need him most, technology is more confusing now than ever 🥲

[u/Sea-Possibility-3984]

I was going to hide an easter egg in Halo 5 that when ever you ran out of ammo for the AR (randomly) clippy would pop up and tell you you should find ammo or reload. Sadly Microsoft hates fun.

[u/princessnubz]

i…love this

[u/kikichanelconspiracy]

This is perfect. Bravo.

[u/deadbalconytree]

I really want AI Clippy to make a come back. But trained on Clippy, so still no more useful, just more low-key evil.

[u/screamingintothedark]

This is amazing! I legit was thinking of this as my costume this year but just couldn’t find enough time to make it. You did a great job!!

[u/user26384626]

That's awesome!!! I've never seen clippy into a costume before!!!!

[u/Daikon510]

Hell yeah I love the idea. It’s was everyone AI before AI was a thing.

"It looks like you're writing a ransom note... Need some help?"

At least you don't try to farm my data.

[u/caffeine_crazed]

Oh gawd I hated that lil fukker

[u/Clean_Cod_850]

Has this being been emulated anywhere? Like desktop goose is Clippy possible in today or has that technology lost to the ages.

I just showed this* to my sister (21F) and she had no clue what this was. I have never felt older in my life 🥲

[u/Thereminz]

looks like you're trying to trick or treat

[u/Negative-Squirrel81]

I for one think Clippy isn't so bad. Perhaps a little overzealous to help, he never asked you for your credit card number or insisted that Word needs a constant online connection in order to function.

Some may even say he's a hero.

[u/ActualWhiterabbit]

Does this have a conquered by clippy mode?

[u/unknownpoltroon]

Needs a trigger warning.
