YMMV / JibJab

Go To

  • Awesome Music: All the songs are simply amazing; any song with "Mahmoud Ahmadinejad" as a lyric just has to be awesome.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: In the 2011 year in review video, they stuck in this:
    Harold Camping: The Rapture!
    Mayan Dude: Not yet, but it's near! (Next year!)
    Guess what the theme for the 2012 year in review video is?
  • It's Short, So It Sucks!: The fact that the only big video JibJab makes each year is their annual year-end revue means that a lot of viewers wish they could be longer than the average two minutes or less. While they are excellent on their own, many fans become disappointed when a certain topic or event that they think is important isn't mentioned. The fact that almost all of the reviews have a verse near the end that acknowledges that there is a lot of stuff they didn't mention doesn't exactly help. And to finish it off, they've only made one since 2014, in 2020, so sorry to all those looking for comments on the insanity of 2015 to 2019.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: They got fairly little views except for the political satires and year-end videos. Which became a problem when they ended them.
  • Memetic Badass: If the Weird Al song "CNR" doesn't hit this trope enough, the JibJab video of it adds insult to injury with a shot of CNR in his trophy room, sitting on a chair made out of vampire moose and with Chuck Norris's head hanging on his wall to the upper left of the screen.
  • Older Than They Think: While the site gained its fame in 2004 with "This Land", they have been around and producing videos in more or less their trademark style since the last millennium. They made a video about the 2000 election too.
