That was pretty nice jokes. But, when you are the one who experience it, like lining up in a long long line waiting for something to be given or released, and in the end, you got nothing, sighs, its annoying hehe.

Some great ones this year. My favorite was probably Reddit who basically changed each section of their site to look like a different competitor.

It was literally EVERY section of the site was modelled off of a different competitor. That shows a lot of work!
