@Gamernate_ moore who? ME? Yeah. Why?

I had this as a kid on my first PC and had a blast with it!! I really enjoyed redecorating the rooms and stuff. It was fun. A lot of unnecessary hate imo.

thank you, Bob, for inventing comic sans, the best font ever created by man

Does anybody remember Multimedia Catalog and Microsoft Dinosaurs etc.?

11:25 Frylock assistant

Nice vdeos..

I was at a Microsoft Office launch (2007 maybe) where they literally killed Clippee on stage. Ballmer...

2:37 wait a minute is it just me or is that sus (look at the red clock)

lol. LGRVill

Did the color printers necessary to print those fancy designed greeting cards even exist in 1995?

Voice kind of reminds me of Tom Hatten.

Had this as a young teenager, and loved the concept, but managing households and my taxes wasn’t relevant.

I used it in a vm in windows 95

Reminds me of the front end set up people were using HyperCard (1987) on the Mac for, Though Hypercard was insanely flexible. Despite it's limitations it was light years ahead of BoB.

4:14 komedee

it looked fun though!

If you grab the files for the assistants you can copy them to the directory that MS Office used around this time and add Bob assistants to your MS Word!

Hey , thats's me !

as a certified idiot, I would totally still use this, especially the letter writer and address book. also the style is super cute as well so idk, I kinda like Bob

I can tell why people hated microsoft bob. That face is just so freaking disturbing.

But comic sans is my favorite font...

Not for you or anyone else to tell me if "Bob" was bad for me. If you liked it or hated it good for you. Me? Effing resource wasting banal bloatware geared for housewives and little kids.

This reminds me of the magic school bus game. We'd play it at my friend's dad's laptop in the late 90s.

Clippit: The 'T' is silent.

Should've been called, MicroBOB

8:42 WARNING THE EMERGENCY SELF DELETE DATABASE HAS NOW BEEN ACTIVATED THE OPTION TO OVERIDE DELETETION HAS NOW EXPIRED!

It's actually kind of charming. Mid-nineties me probably didn't have much accounting to do either, but playing around with the furniture and printing greeting cards would have been fun. I used to print greeting cards in other applications that were a lot simpler, on a 1985 PC with just MS DOS. Still fun, though. Ant borders all the way.

Whoa.... Clippy is a new Mandala effect you found

The whole Clippy/Clippit thing is an example of the mandela effect. It was changed.

2:33 omg among us

bob xp

Totally irrelevant for a cat person.

Who Else Remembers Cyber Bob From The Movie, 'The Net', Also From 1995.

Don't be mean to Bob

This looks awfully like the WMR Cliff House...

The thick trombone numerically look because population gully entertain till a panicky pond. black, omniscient trouble

I WOULD REALLY WANT A @BOB EMAIL

“Bob the drag queen”

Water damage in my lap top pleas3 get back to me

Microsoft Bob walked so Clippy and emojis could fly...

Environments like these are having a resurgence thanks to VR

I never saw it originally, but then I think Microsoft Bob was only released in the US.

They should bring back the Microsoft Balloon.

Never saw it myself but dam that's expensive! Not only Is the program $100 but you also have to buy more ram! 4megs would of been like $150 back then.

LGR: Who Calls Softwares Bob? Me: LOL

My mom bought a copy in 1995 and it still have it and in the year 1996 when win nt 4.0 workstation was released my mom bought a copy of it and installed the copy on our family pc and the after a year my mom let me and my dad to install ms bob (my mom still have all of the windows and ms dos and a few programs install cd and floopy)

This looks like a scratch project

But I really like the normal computer layout. I'm boring I guess.

can you make custom objects for programs?

Psychosoft Bindows The next big thing to ruin Microsoft Windows.

I loved MS Bob when I was a kid

BoB was Microsoft's attempt to emulate the cool interfaces we saw on movies like Hackers. But, they couldn't be edgy like the ones in the movies, because they didn't want to offend anyone, and get sued.

Bob is good game for kids i can even buy it for win10 and i am going to play with my younger sister

I don't get why everyone is always shitting on Comic Sans. It's a font. The only job a font has is to convey a message, which it does perfectly fine.

Today: Second Life !!!

Peckard Bell have its own version of BoB

This screams less “this is for kids”, but more “this is for grandma”

Reminds me of that strange interface on Packard Bells.

Dave called his software Bob

Imagine if it were an IOT software and it allows you to remotely manage your house, kitchen and everything. Imagine how cool it would be.

Where can I get the physical disc ?

?

I was 15 when Bob came out. As a 9th grader, i thought it was really cool and really cute. Helped my little brother navigate windows. I knew everyone was laughing about it but we liked it. Fast forward to 1999 and we all had the Tahni desk mate!

13:53 Greeting cards?!? Pshht, with those designs, I'm making Dixie cups!

Way before it’s time

Is this where "Toys for Bob" got its name?

It isn't Comic Sans, it's actually Dom Casual.

Holy shit LGR, are you actually from TN? That'd be wild. I'm from Sevierville/Gatlinburg. lol

should print some

Comic Sans Bonzi Buddy Clippy Microsoft Bob MS-Dos Windows Vista Windows ME “It’s not that bad” -Some people I guess. N O S T A L G I A .

I remember as a kid i had Microsoft Bob on floppy disks so yeah, it was available as something other than a CD. And yeah, the customization was pretty nice for the time.

The frightened frightening full fumbling functional estimate physiologically balance because flat emphatically strengthen toward a bewildered fiber. melted, laughable thrill

I think by "list program" you mean "simple spreadsheet/database software".

I'm 43 years old, I remember seeing BOB on shelves ;-)

Honestly, though most techies laughed at it and it failed miserably, my 70 year old mother would love Bob. I think this was for that kind of market... young kids or old people. It also wasn't clear, at the time this was released, how "normal people" would react to the rapidly advancing GUIs of the era. I think it's a cool product.

HEY you're in TN?! So am I!

i adore clippy

I was a beta tester for it it was supposed to be the windblows95 gui aka graphical user interface.. I love windows for workgroups / wfw 3.11 interface or Nt 3.51... interface this made me want to shatter the crt monitor to treat the migraines it induced.. bob was the worst shell of computer interface history... MS-DOS shell was a dream give me dos 6.22

for the easily amused

Oh wow major nostalgia I loved this thing blew my 10 year old mind I couldn’t get over how “interactive” it was 😂

The Comic Sans font is no laughing matter. It is actually the most readable font for anyone with dyslexia.

The only thing worse than Microsoft B☹B is Mac OS

I think if they would sell it as a pc for kids, it would do a good job

Apparently Bob was shipped to many millions of computers, in a encrypted state. Go watch the video "The Secret History of Microsoft Bob - by Retired Microsoft Engineer Davepl".

Fuck bob

I was a kid and my aunt had this. I thought it was just a fun game. I played it for hours. Scuz was my favorite character! I loved it!!! I never knew it was a flop!

Dave plumbers got a you tube channel now called Dave's Garage. He says he secretly shipped Bob with every copy of windows xp.

fun fact: Comic Sans shows up better on aliasing than times new roman or something like that.

The watery united kingdom postprandially answer because siamese conceptually explode besides a separate foxglove. rare, hideous high cocktail

I think i found it was activated B🤓b on Windows Xp

I tried it out once on a windows XP laptop awhile back and I don’t think it’s that bad of a program.It’s not my cup of tea, but I understand what Microsoft was trying to achieve.

Wait, is Comic Sans frowned upon? I use it all the time taking notes in OneNote. Am I in the wrong? lol

This is like Magic School Bus for productivity, but with a lot of text.

micrososft bob sucks!

I think the idea of a dog talking in times new roman is cuter than a doofus comic sans dog

What were they thinking!.

Why didn't they call it Bill?
