![]() ![]() One of the last newspapers to write about BonziBUDDY while it was still in distribution described it as spyware and a "scourge of the Internet". One reader is quoted as criticizing the program because it "kept popping up and obscuring things you needed to see." In April 2007, readers of the online computer news website PCWorld voted Bonzi Buddy 6th on a list of "The Top 10 Most Annoying Tech Products". Vinesauce Joel also seems to think of Microsoft Cortana as a less-malicious version of BonziBUDDY, as stated in his "Windows 10 Destruction" video. In another stream by Joel, one in which he attempts to destroy Windows Vista, he downloaded and ran a trojan titled "BonziBuddy", which acts in a similar manner to another trojan known as MEMZ, except with Bonzi Buddy attempting to destroy the PC with an enjection of his "code", making everything Bonzi Buddy themed. By July 2017, bonzi.link redirects to an ad by Freenom (a free domain registration site). In honor of Joel's streams,, one of the program's original websites, has been recently claimed by Vinesauce fans and is currently used as a mirror site for the BonziBUDDY link, as well as providing general information about the program. This is because BonziBUDDY's website has been inactive for several years, and their connections to the adware providers have been lost, meaning that for the most part, BonziBUDDY is now benign. Vinesauce Joel also made a "Windows 7 Destruction" video showcasing BonziBUDDY. However, Bonzi tended to do little except occasionally provide stale jokes and greet Joel. The software became popular in late 2013 due to a livestream released by Vinesauce Joel, a member of the popular gaming group Vinesauce, who made a stream called "Windows XP Destruction" involving releasing Bonzi into a Windows XP virtual machine to cause chaos amongst a host of other viruses and adware. However, this can be fixed using compatibility mode on the executable and setting it to Windows XP or below. ![]() His sprite background also glitches on Windows 7 and up so it is no longer transparent but it creates a solid-colored cyan space around Bonzi due to it being unsupported. While the program still works in Windows Vista and up, his speech glitches to the default sound of the computer in said operating systems, causing him to speak weirdly and maybe cause him to skip words. For example, Bonzi told jokes and sang songs, but to go beyond a few jokes and songs (about half a dozen) users were urged to purchase joke or song modules.īonziBUDDY works best on Windows XP or below. But most functions in the free version were only samples or demos that would urge people to pay for modules to extend the functionality. ![]() 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! Then began the usage of Bonzi, the purple gorilla.Īt one point, the official website for the application said this about it: When Bonzi the Purple Gorilla was about to be released in the next version (After Peedy's last version), Peedy would ask the user if they'd like to meet a new buddy of theirs. The software "interacts with users while they are online, providing shopping advice, jokes, and trivia." The software used Microsoft Agent technology similar to Office Assistant, and originally sported Peedy, a green parrot character, before it became the purple ape.
