  • This one goes out to all the moms out there…

    11 days until Mother’s Day and our design team has their nose to the grindstone, filling up our Mother’s Day category with pictures and videos that a wide variety of moms will appreciate.  Most of our new videos are up, and this week you’ll be seeing a mess of new pictures go live.  Justin is pictured…

  • JibJab knows how to ROCK

    Once a game gets rolling at JibJab people come out of the woodwork to rock their FACES OFF.  On Friday we enjoyed a jam before the weekend set in, behold our glorious ROCK.

  • Celebrating a Year of JibJabbing

    Today here at JibJab a time honored tradition continued as a silver wristwatch made it’s way into the hands of Johan, our Product Manager of Uber 1337ness. Why did we give him a watch? You see, each time a JibJabber celebrates a year in our company, they are passed down the one-year-watch to display as…

  • It’s Trampoline Time… with Tim!

    See Tim.  See Tim jump.  See Tim jump high.  About as high as a normal person can jump without a trampoline.   Out at a party this weekend, we snapped these pictures of our Director of Ops getting a little air.  Emphasis on the little. We still love you Tim.

  • Our Poor Potted Plant

    Recently, the plant in the kitchen hasn’t been doing so well.  His brother, 6 feet away seemed to be thriving though.  A mystery was afoot.  Why was one plant leafy green, while the other wasted away?  Then it hit us.  Because our kitchen doesn’t have a sink.  So our friend the kitchen plant was being…

  • Take a Card, Any Card

    By now, it should be clear that we like to put our heads on things.  A lot.  So when it comes to our business cards, the choice was clear… giant disembodied heads!  We hold a photo shoot for new hires and encourage each employee to make the zaniest face they can muster, leaving it to…

  • Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

    Before we all get drinking tonight, we thought we might want to share a funny piece of production art from our Leprechaun Bailout video. Don’t print this out, the bank won’t cash it! If you haven’t wished your favorite people a Happy St. Paddy’s Day yet, now is your last chance until next beer!  Er,…

  • Go Green for St. Patrick’s Day!

    Where did we get those conning leprechauns for our Leprechaun Bailout video?  Look no further than the JibJab offices!  Here we have our two test subjects, employees Owen Waring and Corey Shiffman.   Add a few freckles and throw in some red hair, and you’ve got that classic leprechaun look! You’ve got to be careful…

  • Jim Meskimen is the MeskiMAN!

    If you’ve ever wondered to yourself “who does those kickass Bush and McCain voices for JibJab?”, your wondering days are over.  Meet Jim Meskimen, voice-over guy extraordinaire.  Jim is the voice behind some of our biggest hits, including but not limited to This Land and Time for Some Campaignin’.  Beyond that he’s given us the…

  • While We’re on the Topic of Cute…

    Pardon us while we pimp the plushies of our in-house super-seamstress Trish Tatman.  Usually Trish specializes in sewing sizeable 8 inch plushies, but for an upcoming JibJab project she whipped up these terrifically tiny little creatures.  Use your own keyboard for scale and you’ll understand just how iddy biddy they are!  Dah!  So cute!

  • OMG OMG OMG BUNNIES!1!!!!

    Word got around fast today that we were filming an Easter greeting with real live bunnies.  In no time, our staff came rushing into the studio where the little fuzz balls were waiting, turning our little internet operation into a soft and fuzzy petting zoo.  On this day, no bunny went uncuddled.

  • Launching Late into the Night

    Last night had our technology wizards burning the midnight oil to ensure that tweaks to the site went live without a single glitch.  As always, their hard work has delivered a fantastic array of site additions, like a front page link to this very blog! The JibJab Tech team always get the job done and…

  • The Maestro Josh Thompson…

    Behold the face of talent. Or should we say the voice of talent? When we need some GREAT voices, we quite often call upon the mastery of Josh Thompson, best known for his killer Ahnold and DeNiro impressions.  You’ll recognize his voice all over JibJab, and you might even recognize his face from our Frankenstein…

  • It’s Wagon Wednesday!

    On Wednesdays, tensions are high.  People sit at their desks with their ears pricked, hoping to hear the high pitched clanging of a tambourine emanate from down the hall.  Like the bells of an ice cream truck, the sound signifies that something amazing and fun is on it’s way to our office.  This is no…
