The **Clippy meme** originates from **Clippy (Clippit),** the animated Microsoft Office assistant introduced in **1997**. Designed to help users with document tasks, Clippy quickly became infamous for being intrusive and unhelpful. Microsoft removed Clippy in **Office 2007**, but the character lived on in internet culture. By the **2010s**, Clippy became a nostalgic meme, often used sarcastically with captions like *"It looks like you're trying to..."* followed by absurd or exaggerated suggestions. The meme represents outdated or overly persistent technology. Despite its retirement, Clippy remains an icon of early computing frustrations and corporate design missteps in digital history.
