76 Office Groaners: The 2011 “Siri & Google+” Edition

Welcome to 2011 – the year we started talking to our phones and they actually (sometimes) talked back. It’s the year of Siri, the launch of the “Ghost Town” known as Google+, and the final Harry Potter movie that left us wondering what to talk about at the water cooler. While Minecraft is officially leaving Beta to destroy the last of our productivity, iCloud is promising to store our lives in the sky, and everyone is trying to figure out why the boss is suddenly obsessed with “The Cloud” and Snapchat.

83 Office Groaners: The 2010 “iPad & Inception” Edition

Welcome to 2010 – the year we entered a new decade and Steve Jobs asked us to buy a “giant iPhone” called the iPad. It’s the year of Inception, leading every manager to ask if we can have a “meeting within a meeting” to discuss the original meeting. While Instagram is teaching us to put “Earlybird” filters on our sad office salads, Angry Birds has officially replaced Solitaire as the #1 productivity killer. We are living in the future, but we’re still just trying to figure out how to “check-in” to the office on Foursquare.

67 Office Groaners: The 2008 “Great Recession & App Store” Edition

Welcome to 2008 – the year the economy went “CRASH,” the App Store went “BOOM,” and Google Chrome arrived to save us from our browser nightmares. It’s the era of “There’s an app for that,” the debut of Spotify, and the rise of Iron Man in theaters (making every CEO think they’re Tony Stark). While we’re all nervously checking our 401(k)s, we’re also busy “checking in” on Foursquare and realizing that Windows Vista was still a terrible mistake.

82 Office Groaners: The 2007 “iPhone & The Ribbon” Edition

Welcome to 2007 – the year Steve Jobs changed the world with the iPhone and Microsoft changed our sanity with Windows Vista. It’s the year of “The Ribbon” in Office 2007, leaving every office worker searching for the “Print” button like it was a hidden treasure. While we’re all getting obsessed with Mad Men style and starting to put our files in something called Dropbox, the Kindle is promising to end paper books, and Facebook is officially turning into a workplace distraction.

65 Office Groaners: The 2006 “Wii Sports & Twitter” Edition

Welcome to 2006 – the year the office became a dangerous place thanks to Wii Sports (watch out for that wrist strap!) and everyone started asking “What are you doing?” in 140 characters or less on a new site called Twitter. It’s the year Facebook opened its doors to everyone with an email address, ending the “college-only” era and making HR very, very busy. While we’re all wearing skinny ties and quoting The Devil Wears Prada, the Nintendo Wii is redefining the breakroom, and Windows Vista is lurking just around the corner.

177 Classic Punny One-Liners: The iPhone & Hashtag Edition (2007)

2007 was the year our pockets got a whole lot smarter. While the first iPhone was making buttons look “so 2006,” the hashtag was born to give our thoughts a home. It was the year of Ratatouille (proving anyone can cook), the debut of Mad Men, and the moment we all became obsessed with a yellow family’s big-screen adventure in The Simpsons Movie. These puns are multi-touch compatible and optimized for the new mobile web.

162 Classic Punny One-Liners: The “You” & Twttr Edition (2006)

In 2006, the digital world became personal. It was the year we all officially became “Time’s Person of the Year” just by existing online. While we were limited to 140 characters on a new site called Twitter, Nintendo changed the game with the Wii, making everyone from toddlers to grandmas swing imaginary tennis rackets. It was the year of Cars, The Da Vinci Code, and the moment Pluto was demoted from the planet club—a truly “cold” move by the astronomers. These puns are short enough for a tweet but long enough to leave a mark.
