Honestly, The Most Perfect Office Assistant with the Most Tragic Backstory..

According to Alan Cooper, the "Father of Visual Basic," the concept of Clippit was based on a "tragic misunderstanding" of research conducted at Stanford University, showing that the same part of the brain in use while using a mouse or keyboard was also responsible for emotional reactions while interacting with other human beings and thus is the reason people yell at their computer monitors. Microsoft concluded that if humans reacted to computers the same way they react to other humans, it would be beneficial to include a human-like face in their software. As people already related to computers directly as they do with humans, the added human-like face emerged as an annoying interloper distracting the user from the primary conversation.

First introduced in Microsoft Office 97, the Office Assistant was codenamed TFC during development. It appeared when the program determined the user could be assisted with using Office wizards, searching help, or advising users on using Office features more effectively. It also presented tips and keyboard shortcuts. For example, typing an address followed by "Dear" would cause the Assistant to appear with the message, "It looks like you're writing a letter. Would you like help?".

While Clippy does not support text-to-speech software, he can be synchronized by using recorded speech. He does not move his lips at all while the recorded speech is playing. This applies to all muted characters.

Clippy is the paperclip office assistant character created by Microsoft for Microsoft Office (97 and 2003). Like all office assistant characters, Clippy can help office users in many ways (such as writing a text document in Microsoft Word and creating presentations in Microsoft Office PowerPoint). Like other assistants, Clippy is implied by many users that he was annoying because he kept asking certain questions. For example, if the user writes "Dear" and then a name, Clippy will prompt the user and say, "It looks like you're writing a letter. Would you like help?" Therefore all office assistant characters were removed in Microsoft Office 2007.

To Clippy, The Computer Screen is much if not Just Like a Portal In and Out of the Human Realm, he uses it whenever he wants!
