BonziBuddy was a free desktop assistant released by Bonzi Software in 1999, featuring a purple gorilla that spoke, joked, and helped with tasks. It was later widely criticized as adware and spyware and was discontinued in 2004 after legal scrutiny. Online, the character survived as a nostalgic meme symbol of intrusive early internet software. This fart version is a fan made joke edit rather than original program audio, circulated on soundboards and in meme videos where the character's wholesome image makes the crude sound funnier.
