![]() ![]() Bonzi Buddy later appeared in Joel's Windows 7 Destruction Stream, as well as being a key component in the VineMEMZ and Bonzify viruses coded for Joel's Windows 10 and Windows Vista Destruction streams by Leurak, the user behind the MEMZ virus that Joel showcased in his Windows 10 Destruction stream.Īs a result of multiple claims of the program being adware and spyware, Bonzi Software was involved in legal trouble and discontinued the Bonzi program, while still keeping the webpage up. As Joel first attempted to download the BonziBuddy program, a window popped up which then redirected to a rogue pornographic website, which possibly could have had malware as well. The program contained a backdoor exploit known as a Trojan that was meant to allow it to perform certain tasks but created a vulnerability that allowed viruses and spyware to being installed on the user's computer, circumventing any malware protection or other security the computer might have. Joel now-famously entered his name as "Expand Dong", which is now a meme in the Vinesauce community. One of the programs Joel downloaded was Bonzi Buddy. When ordering most PCs by phone, it’s either ‘the works’ or it’s just a cluttered mess that runs like a doorstop on a thick shag rug.Īnyway, whatever you do, DON’T ask for the purple dancing gorilla.Bonzi Buddy became most well-known in the Vinesauce community when Joel streamed a Windows XP Destruction in which he attempted to infect his Windows XP OS with viruses. If your new PC has anything else on the desktop, it wasn’t put there by Microsoft. Hint: Windows XP, when first installed, has only ONE icon on the desktop it’s the recycle bin. And report back here with the result when you make your request…) ![]() They should load Windows, and hardware drivers, and put everything else on a DVD for you to choose to install yourself, or not at all. But they do claim they’ll build it purely for you. ![]() Like, um, me.īut a Dell? Really? Well, read reviews first–this isn’t one. Should you buy a Dell? I’m admittedly biased–you should only buy computers from local system techs who actually build systems specifically for you. I bet that half of what they load is startupware–it surely serves some purpose for all that junk to autoplay, so it’s not evil, or no more so than trying to eat too much peanut butter all at once–who remembers the “stick to da wuf of ma mouf” commercial? Of course, much of that junk is a based on a subscription model, and Dell will receive a commission on anything you click that results in a purchase, a renewal, or an upgrade, so if the entire computer is adware, adding a purple dancing spyware gorilla isn’t really all that out of place. It’s apparently also a good thing to load every piece of software available. ![]() Apparently having the speed and power to run a notebook loaded with spyware and startupware is the the most important concept that has to be promoted in their marketing. You would think that associating Dell notebook computers with the infamous spyware program Bonzi Buddy is a bad thing. Dell is showing the ads in this series online, and will probably put the gorilla ad up soon. This is apparently the second ad in the “Purely You” series. We see the purple gorilla climbing into the new Dell notebook–it’s an Inspiron e1505, and the closing credits show the tag, “Purely You.” It’s apparently the ONLY button that’s used, as the others aren’t labeled. He also chooses a college professor, and, OK, what the heck, decides he wants it all. The customer points at what he wants, and yes, it’s the dancing gorilla from Bonzi Buddy. Yes, there is a battle robot hanging from the line. What can we build for you?” The living room wall rotates around, like the magic fridge in the SuperBowl beer commercials, and suddenly he’s riding a supermodern golf cart with a Dell staffer, visiting a Dell manufacturing floor that looks like a cross between the airport in the Tom Hanks movie ‘The Terminal’ and the end of ‘Star Wars III’ where the heros have to dodge the dangers of an assembly line at high speed. A young man is sitting on a sofa, calling Dell. Here’s the scenario for the new Dell television ad, apparently targeted at the ‘Back to College’ crowd. What’s wrong with the marketing team at Dell these days? ![]()
