GraphJam.com was founded in February 2008 with one mission: to rescue pie charts, Venn diagrams, decision trees, and other graphs from the terminal boredom of the office. Instead of using Excel and PowerPoint to report third- quarter sales or graph capital expenditures versus amortization, GraphJam.com users applied those tools to Jay-Z’s song “99 Problems” and Yoda’s advice to Luke Skywalker. The result is a thriving community with millions of web visitors whose creativity has produced thousands of graphs and a hilarious new interpretation of pop culture.
“If I had been a smarter teenager, these would have been my drawings during math class. Graph Out Loud contains what are, without a doubt, the funniest charts in human history. Suck it, cartographers.”
—Christian Lander, author of Stuff White People Like
