A lot of people recognize the infamous purple gorilla spyware program, but few are aware that BonziBuddy was just one of the many applications created by Bonzi Software.
Lmfao, i remember when i was in middle-school, i installed this on ALL the pc's. (We only had desktops back then, this was the early 2000's) The sys-admin at the time was like "Oh no, why..." Yeah, i was a "Shitkid"
I think we're all just so used to living with spyware now. It was a crazy "breach of privacy" in its time, but now spyware is powering my phone's OS (Android).
@@jaymantisgaming Back in your day you didn't get specific. Back in your day, you didn't have advanced technology. And back in your day, you were young.
I cried my eyes out when I was in elementary school. Our school computers had Bonzi AND CLIPPY. They popped up everywhere. It was so hard to do work when Clippy popped up when I opened up Microsoft and Bonzi was just...everywhere
Welcome to the world of BonziBUDDY! He will explore the Internet with you as your very own friend and sidekick! He can talk, walk, joke, browse, search, e-mail, and download like no other friend you've ever had! He even has the ability to compare prices on the products you love and help you save money! Best of all, he's FREE!
Lol, when my and my siblings were kids we used Bonzi Buddy's speech to text program to make him say ridiculous things. Our favorite one was "oh it's the leprechaun he's kind of sexy". When we discovered it was a virus we felt betrayed. But then we just decided it was worth it and moved on.
Fun fact: a parody of Bonzi buddy was actually part of the game ‘hypnospace- outlaw’ called professor helper. It even acts like bonzi buddy and makes pop-up ads.
Really an amazing video. I thought you were a channel with ~100000 subscribers until I saw the real count. Great editing for a channel this small. You definitely deserve more fans.
I had the BonziBuddy almost from the very beginning. The only thing my friends and I used him for, was of course to make him say all kinds of swear words, and dirty sounding sentences. He'd do it too every time. Sometimes u had to spell the words differently to get Bonzi to say them, but was easy enough.
I remember Bonzi and I still today (on an older XP computer) use the Bonzi agent character. Although I have experimente with creating my own agents, and have used other chracters, Bonzi will always be my ultimate favorite character. Thank you for this informative video on him.
