My favorite application of Paint will probably always be The Big Lez Show [1], a 4 season long animated series drawn entirely in Paint, culminating in two hour-long films. Its not for everyone (Australian druggo humor), but if you are in a niche which would appreciate that, its definitely worth a look.

It makes brilliant use of the medium: the creator, Jarrad Wright, started making the show in high school on his school-provided laptop, and as the seasons progress the viewer witnesses Jarrad's progression as both an animator and a story teller. Eventually Jarrad embraces the medium to the fullest extent possible, bringing Paint into the storyline in an absolutely mind-blowing meta-animation sequence.
