Matthew Martell | Content Team Copy Editor

What do you do and how long have you been doing it?
I’m the copy editor for the Content team here at Cheezburger. I’ve been doing that for a couple of months, but I’ve been with the company for almost two years. For a long time I was the de facto animal guy on content, running I Can Has Cheezburger?, I Has a Hotdog and Daily Squee all at once. Oh, I also run So Much Pun. I was an English major and now I get paid to make bad puns all day. How amazing is that?

So. They call you “Martha.”
About a month into my tenure here, I was handling a customer service request from a woman who lived in Iceland and for whom English was most assuredly a second or third language. Fun fact: Google Translate apparently turns Matthew into Martha when you switch it back and forth between English and Icelandic, or at least it did for her, since that is what she called me despite my name being listed in my e-mail signature. The name has stuck ever since.

What is your personal opinion on the Oxford Comma?
I hate it. HATE IT. I had a private party with myself on the day it “died.” I worked for a newspaper before joining Cheezburger, and the first thing a good newspaper editor does to the uninitiated reporter is smother out any affection for that blasted, unnecessary piece of punctuation. Unfortunately the rest of my coworkers on Content seem to think the Oxford Comma is the best thing since sliced bread, so I’m sadly not allowed to forbid it on our sites.

Do your friends and parents understand where you work?
My friends get it — many of them are regular visitors to many of our sites — but my parents still have difficulty accessing their e-mails (which I had to set up for them to begin with), so in their mind I just write puns about cats all day for this weird thing called a “website.” Which isn’t really that far from the truth, I suppose.

Tell us a behind-the-scenes story!
A lot goes on behind the scenes here, so here’s a recent story: Myself and a couple of coworkers started a Turntable.fm room that one person accurately described as “tactical musical warfare.” Working on the internet desensitizes you to almost everything. Carly Rae Jepsen, interestingly, does not fall under that almost everything umbrella. Call me maybe?

Favorite meme right now?
Dolan. When you work on the Internet, finding something that the rest of the Internet mostly hates is kind of refreshing. Also I just think Dolan is hilarious in general. Gooby pls. My all-time 5eva favorite will always be Reglob if u crey, though.

Is there anything you used to think was terrible that you now think is really funny?
I find myself mostly bored by the majority of Advice Animal memes, but occasionally I stumble across a good Lame Pun Coon or Anti-Joke Chicken and for a brief moment find myself feeling far more tolerant of those usually awful two-colored background macros. I that isn’t really much of a conversion story re: liking them as a whole or anything, but I definitely like Advice Animals more now than I did before I started working here.

Anything else you want to tell us about yourself?
My most recently acquired nickname in the office is Sexy Jesus Panda. You don’t need any context for something like that, right?
