I kind of liked the childish MS-DOG and the Vomit-Making System, if only because of the glee I took when Digital Equipment joined the GNU donators list to pay for the dumb joke to be removed. The intersection of corporate bureaucracy and childish humor and how it played out was sort fun to watch from the perspective of a supplier.

(We sold the Gnu Compiler Collection & port work & runtime & docs to DEC and they asked us to remove the stupid joke and we regretfully had to inform them that we didn't have the legal authority to do so.)

But my adolescent fun is perhaps outweighed by my sadness that DEC is long gone.
