In 2013, Bill Gates held his first Reddit AMA. For his first time out, it was a pretty stripped-down affair, showing off a drawing of himself in the style of "Snoo," Reddit's mascot.
Things picked up a little bit in 2014, when he one-upped himself by meeting Snoo in person.
That AMA was also way more popular, prompting Gates to post a meme of himself as Austin Powers, which there's an explanation for, I swear.
And at the end of the AMA, Gates and Snoo walked off into the sunset together after becoming best friends.
In 2015, things got a little more animated.
And Snoo showed back up to thank everybody for coming.
In 2016, Gates went a different route and recreated his 1973 high school yearbook photo, right down to finding the right sneakers.
And to sign off, Gates proved he's a man who's worn many hats in his career:
Which brings us to 2017, when Bill Gates revived David S. Pumpkins, Tom Hanks' breakout "Saturday Night Live" character...
...and complemented it with a video, cut with SNL footage. It's weird and great.
Here's the original SNL sketch, so you can compare.
On a final note, Gates' 2016 AMA also included a video he made answering some common questions he gets. It's worth a watch for a quick look into the mind of Bill Gates.
