The folks at JibJab continue to pump out some of the funniest customized videos on the web. Last month they forged a deal with master parody maker Weird Al to bring custom versions of the song writer’s music video to the site. And today they’re announcing a partnership with Soul Train, the long-running music TV program that featured countless artists from genres including R&B, soul, and hip hop over its 35 years on the air. You’ll now be able to stick yourself (or your friends) in the 70’s-era dance video below and watch the hilarious results.
JibJab has been making similar videos for quite a while, and has built up an impressive repertoire of licensed content including videos from Snoop Dogg and High School Musical. Cofounder Gregg Spiridellis says that the site’s recent implementation of Facebook Connect, which lets users pull photos from the social network and share these customized videos with friends, has led to video virality tripling compared to normal sharing over Email.
And it’s nightmares tonight!
why?
what?
Not you, you were great. I just wanted ready to see Jason with (o)(o)’s
*wasnt ready
Oddly amusing. I am guessing it is the fact that it is 1:30 am though.
Hi Jason…
Thanks for posting information on jibjab.com. Since last three month I am looking for these type of service, now finally I get it.
Yes mr ‘green tea’ nice spam… you do realise these comments are no follow right?
Cute. But Jibjab is soooo 2004. I’m surprised they’re still in business. What’s their profit model again?
Actually Lami, we’re so 1999… this October we celebrate our 10 year anniversary producing original content for the web! We have a fremium business model with the primary source of revenue coming from paid Memberships.
Good for you. But on your website, all I see is some videos which grow tired after you’ve seen them a couple of times, and e-cards. May I suggest you use your storytelling ability and artists in a better way: a webcomic!!
It will keep people coming back daily. We need a really good web comic, and you guys have what it takes.
Webcomics. TERRIFIC suggestion a company trying to innovate and stay fresh in the 21st century. I suppose you also think rotating gifs are the next hot item?
I kept thinking of that recent M$ blunder where they cut off the black dude’s head and replaced it with a white guy.
Jason’s man boobs I missed totally until I ready Sean’s comment.
Funny but disturbing.
thats not even funny
