Trivia / Microsoft Sam Reads Funny Windows Errors

• Approval of God: Some of the mentioned imitators had received praise from Thunderbirds101 personally, such as the series by nkrs200 with its own wacky storylines and comedy, as well as crossovers with other takes, if his comment on the Season 13 finale of that channel is anything to go by. Even before then, the channel mentioned him consistently as a shoutout for his work, even contributing his own error requests to annoy nkrs200 Microsoft Sam with.
• Follow the Leader: Spawned a host of imitators, and was in itself based off of a pre-established video style which it expanded on during later seasons. Unfortunately, a majority of imitators copy the same jokes and, in some cases, the same artwork and concepts.
• Official Fan-Submitted Content: The errors at the end of the videos (Formerly at points throughout the episodes) are sent in by fans.
• Promoted Fanboy: Radar Overseer Scotty was a creation of fellow text-to-speech user (and troper) Akriloth2160 that was eventually picked up as a recurring character in Thunderbirds101's series as well as a few of its imitators. The same user has also spawned other recurring fads such as The Really Sucky Virus, although the original creator declared this a Discredited Meme in June 2009.
• Schedule Slip: Microsoft Sam Reads Ridiculous Windows Errors had a 2-year hiatus due to lack of viewers. The series was revived in April 2013.
