No wonder they removed Clippy 😳
Overview
The image features Clippy, the iconic animated paperclip assistant from Microsoft Office, set against a blue background with a yellow notepad. Clippy has large, round eyes and raised eyebrows, appearing surprised. Above him is a speech bubble that reads: 'An operating system shouldn't cost $140 and come with ads, nor should it require you to sign up for an online account just to install and use it.' At the top of the image, there is a caption: 'No wonder they removed Clippy 😳'. The meme humorously suggests Clippy was removed for criticizing modern operating system practices.
Origin notes
The meme originates from 9Gag, with the original title 'Clippy was right'. It repurposes the classic Microsoft Office Clippy character, likely created through image editing software to add the critical speech bubble and top caption, commenting on contemporary operating system issues like high costs, ads, and mandatory online accounts.
