Fyi Michael, Windows RG is a parody of Windows ME.

If you would've kept going in the word one after the paperclip.exe will be shot message comes up you hear a gunshot and the paperclip falls over and blood comes out and it says "Why do I have blood?" then a message comes up saying something along the lines of "Word.exe has performed an illegal operation (killed a paperclip) and will be arrested, and of course, closed!"

I don't know why, but this is making me think of the old computer clan Windows crap edition.

The welcome dialogue is actually a parody of the one from Windows ME, which is a bit more intrusive in its attempts to tell you all the wonderful new features they crammed into their shiny new OS. Funnily enough, Windows ME is one of the only versions of Windows that I have only ever used pre-installed and haven't done the installation and initial config of myself. Lots of fun memories from high school IT classes of just sitting in the back of the classroom building PCs and making partitions on the hard drive to install windows onto before summarily upgrading them or reinstalling them.

These things were my literal childhood. Thanks for covering them! :D

@akunalternatif windows me wasn’t a mistake the possible reason why it was horrible was because of the hardware people used it depends on the hardware and stuff I guess me was picky about stuff

Honestly find these little parody Windows things really funny :P They make stupid puns, and I love it. Doesn’t matter if the person was trashing on Windows, they made something funny. Which a bit of poking fun at stuff is needed, so long as it’s in good spirits.

Did you know? The voice at 5:56 is by AT&T, with the voice name of Mike. Interestingly, Microsoft also had a voice named Mike, although it didn't come with Windows XP and was available as an optional download alongside Microsoft Mary in a merge module for the SAPI5 TTS Engine. However, Microsoft Mike is the first Microsoft voice to ever be introduced in the SAPI3 SDK of Windows, back then named Mark Lund (Not to be confused with Mark on Windows 10). So, despite Sam being a popular voice, Mike was the first. I get the feeling that AT&T Mike was also another one of those things to copy Microsoft, since their voice sounds human like when compared with Microsoft's at that time.

Hey Micheal, long time viewer here. When I was 7 years old I discovered Windows RG on Newgrounds and I attempted to make an XP version called “Virus XP”. This video brings back so many memories because I literally spent months on that parody. I’m 20 now, but that parody is probably laying around somewhere on an old drive. Might dig it out, who knows ;) but yeah, so glad you managed to check these parodies out! Love your channel btw!

Oh my god. This was like a nostalgia nuke. Holy shit.

I remember all this stuff! I actually made a similar thing myself in Flash MX2004 back then, but I never finished or released it anywhere on the internet.

Windows RG was one of the reasons for me to try out Macromedia Flash. I liked to create my own program interfaces that way and share them (you could export them as EXE).

Please continue this and make it a small series! I' d love it, I would watch every episode ever XD

10:26 Its is only ONE line from Baha men's "Move It Like This." Which came out in 2010 (Or around 2010.)

Man, I remember one flash game, I think it was nightmare house 1 or 2, there was a computer in it that said winblows on it

I had way too much fun with Windows RG as a kid. I didn't have my own computer for a long time so it was like having my own little sandbox even if it was just a joke.

There was a Windows Vista parody game I used to play on Newgrounds.

You should take a look at scratch. it used to use flash but recently changed to html, there are many parodies of windows there, especially the colorgram ones like Windows 10 Simulator and Windows Vista Simulator (and several other obscure ones too)
