He taunts me every moment,
He’s a...

Cons: silly jokes and cute comments; slurred voice module

Pros: trivia, nice smile, compliments you, greets you
Cons: talks way too much, corny jokes, waste of time

I discovered Bonzi Buddy 2 months ago, May to be exact, through a banner ad. Right now, you can't find this purple gorilla on my computer. I HAD to delete him!
