Working in SEO really can be an emotional rollercoaster. One minute you’re flying high because one of your clients just got another knowledge graph and the next you’re feeling low because someone’s rankings dropped and you’re going to have to figure out why. Although we think it’s really important to have a good time at work there’s one thing our team can agree on. We feel most other digital marketers will probably concur when we say that SEO and digital marketing is not synonymous with humour. At least, until now…

Funny SEO and Digital Marketing Videos

Ever feel like non-SEO’s have literally no idea what you actually do? Well, for the most part, you’re absolutely right.
Yeah, ‘normal people’ really have no idea at all.
But how can they when we’ve basically got our own language? (We used to love Pandas).
Google have put together some pretty funny videos about web user experience too. Thinking twice about implementing recommended products on your next ecommerce site now?
We all know that if you’re going to use internal site search it has to work properly, right?

It turns out there are some pretty talented lyricists out there who also know a thing or two about SEO. Their production values may leave something to be desired but overall we can’t fault their talent. First off…

REVENGE IN THE VILLAGE 

PART ONE

ANTONY MAINA

Growing up in a small village in the late '90s and early 2000s was an experience that felt richer and more genuine than anything the bustling cities could offer. There was an undeniable charm in the simplicity of village life. While kids in the city spent their weekends glued to TV screens, watching reruns of Tom and Jerry, or riding their bikes between friends' houses, us village kids were often lost in the cool, clear waters of local streams, swimming and playing until the sun dipped below the horizon.

I was raised in Nyeri County, nestled in the heart of central Kenya, where the rhythms of life were shaped by the land, the seasons, and the community around us. My generation witnessed the world shift in profound ways. I remember a time before computers, cell phones, and social media—and then I witnessed the first waves of technology roll in. It was a strange, exhilarating feeling to straddle two worlds: one foot planted firmly in the past, and the other stepping into the future.

Honestly, not everything about growing up in the village was idyllic. In fact, there were some harsh realities too and they were worse. I was a victim in all this.

 According to the gossips of my primary school peers, girls from my village were often ridiculed as being unattractive or unremarkable and hence drew no attention to the biggies.

 For reasons I could never quite understand, I became a frequent target for their teasing. 

Their cruel words stung, leaving me self-conscious and isolated.

 While the others laughed and judged each other, I kept to myself, too ashamed to join in, but too hurt to speak up. 

Their constant mockery chipped away at my confidence, affecting everything from my schoolwork to my sense of self-worth.

 School felt like a daily battle where I was the unwilling punchline of every joke. i was a clown and couldnt really find a comeback for some reason i cant comprehend.

But as the old saying goes, "Someday you tame the tiger, and someday the tiger has you for lunch." And just like that, the laughter at my expense was about to come to an end.

The turning point came with the arrival of Mama Rosa, a mysterious middle-aged woman with jet-black hair and she moved into an old, abandoned compound on the outskirts of our village market. The houses there had been vacant for years, and their  creaky, weathered structure echoed a silent reminder of a life long gone.

 Locals whispered about Mama Rosa's tragic past—how she had bought the house from a certain grey-haired woman who had moved away after the murder of her only son in 1992 during the KK parade.

locals always had their own theories about how the ghost of that dead son never rested and still roamed in that compound and we all had kept away from it for it was a haunted yard. i personally knew a guy who knew a guy whose cousin's friend had once encountered a strange man with very weird constumes opening the yard gate like hes been living there since forever before then vanishing into the already dark compound.

 It was said that Mama Rosa had once lived in Kitale areas and had moved here after losing her only sister in a terrible road accident that happened in salgaa areas. Consumed by loneliness and thoughts of death, people claimed she inherited all her sisters properties and had moved to look for pastures new.

But what the village didn't know was that Mama Rosa's arrival would soon change everything for me.

Her three daughters, stunningly beautiful in a way that seemed almost otherworldly, transformed the village dynamic overnight. They were so captivating that, at times, I could hardly believe they were real. Their eyes were as bright as stars, their smiles radiant enough to light up even the darkest corner of the village. With every step they took, it was as though the world around them paused in awe.

Each daughter was a vision of grace and confidence, with an allure that could make any man lose his composure. They had a magnetic beauty that seemed to embody everything I had been told I lacked—everything I had always felt was beyond my reach. And suddenly, it wasn't just their beauty that caught the village's attention. Because of them, I found myself finally being noticed, respected, and included in ways I never had before.

For the first time in a long while, I felt like I mattered.

A MARIJUANA SHUGGING MANIAC WHO TOOK THE ICT DEPARTMENT BY STORM ( a high functioning smoker?)

CAMPUS VIBES

By Mercy Ngugi (IT DEPARTMENT)

 Antony maina's story is no ordinary tale. The path he took to fulfill his academic potential was filled with self-doubt, self-destruction, and near school life ending choices. From a young age, antony was a protege and his early school teachers told him he had the potential to compete with the academic elites but he didnt believe them, his actions often contradicted this potential. His journey included illegal marijuana smoking and peddling, hanging out with gangs that almost led him to jail time and alot more. Tony himself admitted that his antics would have impressed even Maina Njenga, the former mungiki leader. Despite these setbacks, tony eventually turned his life around. After the demise of his dad in 2023, despite his continuation of a problematic lifestyle, tony began to make his mark. By 2024, he had become a nightmare to top students in the institution, putting historic grades in CCNA exams, and outshining elites like frankline njenga, alice wanjiku, and jennifer wambui to a point in terms of class grades he was like a God. His rise was remarkable, considering he hadn’t been a product of a top elite family but lived with his single mom and a brother. Tony's early struggles included dropping out of gretsa University, which deeply impacted his self-worth. He briefly quit everything that he previously adored, returning only to hustle in his home village, before his talents were recognized at local level where he would solve any phone problem that seemed like a nightmare to the locals. Despite his prolific problem solving skills, deeper issues lingered, such as domestic violence where they would go for monthswithout communicating with his other family members despite living in the same compound, exposure to manipulative neighbors etc. A lifeline came from a well wisher whom he prefers to keep anonymous, and thats where tony’s dedication to computers began to truly shape his future. His move to enroll in ict level 6 at 25 further showcased his potential, leading me to take a chance on him as a class teacher, despite a rough start at the school. His lifestyle choices nearly derailed his studies until personal crises and the promises he'd made to his family at home started to haunt him. tony’s transformation was reflected on the scoreboard where it mattered. His record-breaking streak of 5 masteries at his first trial was pivotal for his confidence, disproving doubters and making life worthy living again. His rise from a village shamba boy to an ict mastery material encapsulates a story of redemption, underscoring a career defined by overcoming adversity and proving critics wrong at every turn. tonys arrival at NNP, although not as extensive as his previous success at Gretsa university, still highlights his ability to perfom under massive pressure. Despite the lack of funds and proper diet after quiting Gretsa, tony’s impact was decisive, showcasing his innate ability to perform under pressure. His story remains a testament to resilience, talent, and the power of redemption in academics.
