JibJab, NFL Network To Make Thursday Night Football Fan Content Funny

JibJab, the short-form entertainment producers known for putting your face into content, has announced the launch of JibJab Camera. The app was launched in partnership with the NFL Network to produce personalized content for the series of Thursday Night Football games.

Every Thursday, fans will find a new way to show support for their team — five ways, to be exact. Starring You Stickers and Avatars can transform you into a moving, padded-up player. With Starring You you can realistically fit your face onto a player’s body that will then move and shake.

Phrases and stickers are available to add some life to your photos and videos. Customized specifically for your favorite team, you can place them on Snapchats, showing your allegiance with pride.

JibJab has also created scenes which are full-frame templates that are readymade for the less creative folk.

“A new generation is expressing itself in its own unique way in Snapchat, Instagram and on other messaging platforms,” JibJab CEO and co-founder Gregg Spiridellis said in a statement. “Our mission is to help them be funnier while doing it.”

The animations are ideal for creating “stories” on both Snapchat & Instagram, but are also easily sharable on Twitter and Facebook as well.

Each week, the content will be promoted and available on the JibJab Camera app 24 hours prior to kickoff. Fans can use the animations all the way up until 9 a.m. EST the day after the game.
