There is something wrong with a feature of the website!

Please be aware that sometimes things break on our site, and we’re usually aware of it and hard at work to fix them. However, if you notice that a feature has been broken for awhile without being fixed, we would definitely appreciate the help in identifying the issue, so email support@jibjab.com with the details right away! Back to Top

I've got a great idea for you guys, how do I submit it?

We deeply appreciate the efforts of those whom wish to submit ideas or other information to JibJab. However, given the litigious society we live in, our lawyer has advised us that reviewing unsolicited submissions exposes us to potentially expensive lawsuits. Therefore, all submissions must come through a talent agency accompanied by the appropriate submissions release form.

We do regret that JibJab cannot consider unsolicited submissions; however, our policy does not prevent us from doing business together at some point in the future should appropriate circumstances arise. Back to Top

I've received some spam in my JibJab mailbox!

We hate spam almost as much as you, possibly even more! Although your regular email address is hidden and protected from the outside world by JibJab, spam can sometimes be sent to your JibJab mailbox by other JibJabbers.

We apologize if this has happened to you, and please know that it is still a fairly rare occurrence, as we have set up many controls to prevent it. However, if you have received some spam, please help us by forwarding the message and name of the sender to us at support@jibjab.com. We will immediately warn the user/delete the account, and they should never bother you again. Back to Top

I sent my joke to support@jibjab.com, but haven't received a joke validation yet.

Please note that all joke submissions should be sent to jokes@jibjab.com, and not support@jibjab.com. Also, ensure that you've looked through your junk/spam folders for the validation.

To upload this joke to your JokeBox, please resend it to jokes@jibjab.com. Back to Top

Where is my joke, I submitted it awhile ago!

Your joke isn't showing up right away because it first needs to be rated and reviewed for content. by JibJab's community police force, the A-Hole Patrol. Please be patient, your joke will soon be available for the world to see! Back to Top

My joke was in a featured section, but is no longer featured, even though it's more popular than other jokes in this section!

Jokes are placed in the featured sections on an automated basis, and are routinely rotated to keep the content fresh. This is to make it easier for newer JibJab users to become involved in the community and get their jokes as well-known as yours!

Some jokes that have excessive nudity or graphic violence will not be featured, as they should not be readily available to our younger audience. Back to Top

I'm offended by a joke!

We're sorry that you have an issue with one of the jokes on JibJab. Joke inclusions and ratings are monitored and controlled by the JibJab JokeBox community at-large. However, we understand that some people may be offended by some jokes and we therefore have a process to handle such occurrences.

Below each joke is a link that says 'Report Offensive' and if you click this link, the joke then goes into the A-Hole Patrol review queue. The A-Hole Patrol is JibJab's volunteer community police force who is entrusted with helping keep the JibJab community safe from pornographers, hate mongers and extremists. The A-Hole Patrol (1) reviews new submissions to JibJab and (2) investigates reports of abuse in the community. If the A-Hole patrol reviews a joke and determines that it is indeed offensive, it will be pulled from the site. Back to Top

Alternatively, you can send an email to support@jibjab.com to have your account manually validated. Back to Top
