JibJab

edit

JibJab is an online humor site with original and user generated jokes, live videos, flash and other animated videos. Started before the bubble by the “JibJab” brothers; Gregg, a burnt-out investment banker and Evan, an award winning animator, Jib Jab has grown strongly. The brothers have been featured on such mainstream media outlets as the Jay Leno show and have created a number of popular and subversive political satire videos.

As of October 2007 the site’s viewers have read or viewed over 285 million jokes/videos. This may pale in comparison to some mainstream sites like YouTube, but for a niche site it is significant. Its audience has been brutally loyal and fanatic. When the political satire piece This Land aired before the 2004 elections, the site was blocked in Saddam Hussein’s palace, because too many soldiers were trying to download it at the same time.
