Microsoft Sam was the default text-to-speech voice on Windows XP, and it became a familiar internet character through videos where the robotic narrator read out jokes, stories and deliberately rude text. The humour came from hearing a calm corporate computer voice say things it was never meant to say, and short clips like this one circulated as reaction sounds long after XP itself faded. It survives because that deadpan synthetic delivery still reads instantly as old-school internet humour.
