For a period of time, Thunderbirds101 stopped making Funny Windows Errors episodes for unknown reasons. Some speculate he got bored of making the series and was done for good. Others believed he might have been just stressed out and needed a break. For whatever reason, it was one month and seventeen days until Episode 2 of Season 2 came out. From then on out he continued to make episodes. Season 2, unlike Season 1, had a structured storyline and antagonists. In this particular season, the Information Robots were the main antagonists. The season ended with what used to be the longest episode yet, clocking in at seven minutes and ten seconds. The episode ended with [[Special:MyLanguage/Microsoft Anna|Microsoft Anna]] "The Info Robot Queen" gassing Microsoft Sam. The scene concluded with the classic 24 clocks and another classic profanity line from Microsoft Sam.

Season 3 premiered on April 11, 2009, and like Season 2, picked up where the last season left off. Sam was dying; Anna appeared to have won. But it was quickly revealed that the entire Season 2 Finale was a ''dream''. From there on out, Sam continued on as normal, even taking a dump in reverse. The main antagonists of this season were [[Special:MyLanguage/Microsoft Bob and Joe|Microsoft Bob and Joe]], two "Text-to-Speech Outcasts", who apparently were supposed to be on an operating system, but never were. They bombarded Sam with the deadly "[[Special:MyLanguage/The Really Sucky Virus|Really Sucky Virus]]", making its first official appearance. In the fifth episode, it was revealed that Microsoft Joe was in fact [[Special:MyLanguage/Radar Overseer Scotty|Radar Overseer Scotty]] from Akriloth2160 TV. But before Scotty revealed himself, he killed his accomplice Bob. He continued to attack Sam with the Really Sucky Virus, and eventually the Really N00by Virus. He also introduced Windows Jibberish in the final two episodes of Season 3. The season concluded with Scotty being defeated by his own Virus and Sam disappearing without a trace. Season 3 concluded on May 30, 2009. The series would be put on hold after this, due to school exams interfering with Thunderbirds101's video schedule.

In episode six, Weegee 25,000 revealed himself and his OMG_BRB_ICECREAM_TRUCK Cannon. He destroyed Emergencyranger88 TV Studios, and almost attacked Thunderbirds101 TV Studios. However, he decided against the move, as he had acquired a nuclear bombshell and was preparing to choose a city to destroy: Either Toronto, New York or Sydney. A trailer was released shortly after the seventh episode of the fourth season, showing yet another new enemy had arrived: [[Special:MyLanguage/Devil's Hell Star|Devil's Hell Star]]. Both Weegee 25,000 and his successor, Weegee Infinity, were destroyed, either by a "Catastrophic Failure", or being simply infected with Swine Flu. When Devil's Hell Star's robot assistant informed him of his minion's destruction, he became enraged and ordered to cannon to fire on his desired target. However, before he could name the target, the signal was lost "again." The season ended with the [[Special:MyLanguage/Diarrhea Death Star|Diarrhea Death Star]] destroying Earth after the OMG_BRB_ICECREAM_TRUCK failed to destroy Sydney, Australia. Season 4 concluded on August 9, 2009.

*As of May 2010, a trend was started by [[Special:MyLanguage/Thunderbirds101|Thunderbirds101]]: questions that he would ask at the end of every video.
