Mail (the email client for Windows 10), has a loading bar for pasting text.
Someone saw that pasting text takes a long time, and instead of thinking 'OMG, we pasted text in the 80's without a problem', they decided to write a loading animation in, so that people would understand the paste is coming.
This is beyond parody.
@malin
