31 The Easter Jokes Archive (2006–2015 Edition)

The decade between 2006 and 2015 was the era when Easter officially went viral. We started by posting our holiday plans on Facebook walls and ended by live-tweeting our family arguments over the last deviled egg. It was a time when the Easter Bunny had to compete with the first iPhones, Nintendo Wii bowling matches in the living room, and the sudden realization that if you didn’t post a photo of your Easter breakfast with a “Valencia” filter, it basically never happened.
