Friday Not-So-Fun Links

Is it just me, or is the glut of JibJab ripoffs getting lamer and lamer?

They all follow the same formula: Bush and Kerry trade insults to the tune of a well-known song; in the end we're instructed to vote. I give the Queen clip some credit for parodying the mis-en-scene of the original "Bohemian Rhapsody" video. But the Rocky Horror satire is just awful.

I don't know, were the original JibJab cartoons funny? Lame music parody and gay jokes. Yay.

I thought the Bohemian Rhapsody parody was pretty funny, personally. But it needed to actually have the guitar riff after "my brother Jeb has some ballots put aside for me".

I don't know, were the original JibJab cartoons funny?

I thought the first one was corny but refreshing. By this point, though, the formula's gotten old.

O.k., someone needs to explain to these guys the difference between the "funny once" and the "funny always".

[Warren]

You got it right Jesse. But you should have mentioned that JibJab started the slide themselves.
