Jibjab.com – An Alternatively Funny

I am really amused by Jibjab.com as it is a website that falls into the alternative humour section.

The humour is more intelligent and in many ways, you could describe some of the content on jibjab.com as a satire. The main feature of Jibjab is the sketches or cartoons as they call them.

The site is filled with all sorts of parodies, jokes and funny videos; the most hilarious of which are made by the people who run the Web site (check the Originals section). The site also lets users upload their funny videos.

These are the main attraction of the site and visitors to the site spend most of the time viewing the cartoons. The cartoons can be viewed online or downloaded. I personally watch it online and then download it if I like it.

The cartoons are split up into several sections; political, raps, geezers, Nasty Santa, Rumple, Exit 109 and several more. The political section is the best in my opinion. The Capitol III cartoon was especially good and probably the best cartoon on the website.

The raps of Bush and Gore are especially good and the lyrics are especially good. This one takes a while to view though and once you have seen it, you will love it so I recommend downloading it.

Another brilliant cartoon on there is Bubba’s brownies; cooking lessons with Bill Clinton. This one does not take long to view and is smaller than Capitol III. The Nasty Santa cartoons are also very witty and I recommend them, however if easily offended you should perhaps avoid the Nasty Santa sketches.

Other things on jibjab.com other than sketches include screensavers, e-cards and even a couple of Mp3’s. The Mp3’s are humour ones though not music – so don’t rush off to jibjab.com when Audiogalaxy shuts down! Lolz.

The E-cards are pretty good. At the moment, you only have a choice of two though, dunk Bush and dunk Gore. Yes I know what you’re thinking, jibjab don’t like American politicians!

You can also get Jibjab screensavers; there are 5 to choose from. To see which one you like you can watch them online and then decide whether to download them or not. If your interested in any I recommend the Santa, break dancing screensaver – it’s brilliant!

Jibjab is a Flash website, so to anyone who does not have flash you will need to take a few seconds to download it. (You can download it from the Jibjab site) The animations are a little slow to load up but they are quite fancy and the amusement makes up for the wait.

The cartoons are made up very cleverly and whoever made them is clearly incredibly talented! However, they are a bit jerky but once you’ve seen them you will see that it would be very difficult to make them perfect.

I say this because the cartoons are not animations but the creators have played around with photographs and put them on animations, etc. You will understand what I mean once you visit the website.

A great place for some brilliant comedy. www.jibjab.com
