It’s gotten to where the year isn’t officially over until we’ve heard from the boys and girls at JibJab. The Venice, California-based digital entertainment studio and conclave of wiseasses, musicians and techies is back in fine form with their 2009 retrospective. “Never a Year Like ’09,” animatedly performed to the tune of Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer," surveys the year about to end in the classic over-the-top JibJab style.
In two minutes and change, it’s a recap of what was important this year, and much that wasn’t (which didn’t stop people from talking and tweeting about it).
JJ’s bottom line is much like everyone’s: for all kinds of reasons, this is one we’re glad to have in the rear-view mirror … laughing through the tears.
