That social media manager was bored, so they drew or got someone to draw an incredibly divisive character to get some tea.

I never knew that clippy was actually hated, I absolutely loved him growing up, so I'm so happy about him being acknowledged again :') I never actually ended up knowing that they removed him, my nan had him on Microsoft, and I always knew that she despised him, I didn't care, my young brain always thought "Funny Paperclip turn into funny shapes 😄

This reminds me of a classic animation from Alan Becker because of the epic battle between Clippy and The Chosen One. If you understand the context, then you're awesome. 😎

I never had to deal with him, so I’m clearly biased in this, but I never understood why this guy was so despised. He seems like just a chill lil’ guy who pops up a little too much.

I think Clippy is an adorable chap! I don’t really get all the hate for this guy. I’d honestly rather have this guy help me out over an AI assistant any day!

Y’all they’ve always cared about him… he’s all over their offices (literally. Clippy is in Board Meeting Screens and marketing) Edit: I’ve been to one of their campuses

Remember when Iago from Aladdin played Clippy at one point? May his actor rest in peace…

Honestly, the most I've seen of Clippy has been Animator vs Animation 3, so this is an interesting revelation
