Ernst & Young "Oh Happy Day!"

[MrMrfamilyguy01]

The single greatest concentration of virgins and cunts in a single space. Ever. How ironic....

[TeganX7]

These poor people needed to be put out of their misery. Did no one have a hand grenade?

[SydneyBrit]

They all have slightly funny retardations

[Abraeumer83]

Solche Mongos... schrecklich... kennt Ihr so etwas wie Fremdscham? Das habe ich gerade...

[SirPatrickBateman]

don't they understand how moronic it looks?

[RyCo127]

RyCo is hott

[danr8472]

I have worked for those idiots back in the time at the Montreal office. Jesus, they tried everything to brainwash me. After a year of trying, they gave up and I was let go. It was one of the worst places I have ever worked in my life.

[baddaboomb]

Reading my previous comment I realise the error I ha made. Ernst and young are the only people capable of handling or complex financial affairs. They are to be trusted with your most valuable assets implicitly and without question. Our overlords at Ernst and young wish only the best for us, people of earth. Go back to your lives and await reprogramming. HAIL ERNST AND HIS SECOND IN COMMAND YOUNG!!

[Abraeumer83]

@baddaboomb

jerk;-)))))

[baddaboomb]

People if any of you doubt the existence of hell, then video evidence is documented right here. Look at how Satan(in female form) tries to brainwash his unwitting victims in the chorus...just fucking chilling. THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELLS YOU!!

[mikely8111]

omg



[YoPappee]

What. The. Fuck?

[trailrunner72]

So. Horrible.

And I thought KPMG's song was terrible... At least that song wasn't the same words repeated over and over and over and over and over...

[tedcantu1]

They're kaput I hear. Wonder if theres a song about that as well.

[ltlwatcher]

Happy day? More like happy slave.

[krewkijohn]

no fucking way, omg

[RoninFox203]

@krewkijohn , as soon as I saw your comment, I imagined them singing the song but using "No f****** way" instead of "Oh happy day". :p

[isgrant89]

pack of nerds

[brodofaggins]

That is the whitest group of employees I've ever seen.

[brb588]

None of them have any rhythm...

[aquaphone]

My ex-girlfriend worked for Ernst & Young. She was a CPA. When she wasn't bitching about how much her job sucked, she was working, like 60 hours a week minimum. And what did they do? They placed value on stocks and other investments. They were PAID by the companies they were evaluating. So these were the people telling us "No problem, mortgage backed securities are great!" What a joke.

[YelianB]

I am so glad I just signed with Deloitte.

[1000101er]

Those poor people...

[FirstLadyRV]

I am afraid of this video

[robertbowen]

1:50 break it down... jesus, what were they thinking?

[MrKlaasse]

FOR ME IT WAS NOT AN HAPPY DAY THE FIRST OF JANUARY 1986. I WILL NEVER FORGET, THE DIRTY TAKEN-OVER OF OUR ENTERPRISE :"METAAN DUTCH IRON- AND STEEL SOCIETY B.V." IN ALPHEN A/D RIJN. ORGANISED BY PEOPLE OF MORET ERNST & YOUNG AS WELL AS BY THEIR FRIEND NOTARY MR H.M. KRANS, ALL OF THEM OUT OF THE HAGUE HOLLAND. I CAN ALLWAYS GIVE INFORMATION ABOUT IT. HOW WAS THIS POSSIBLE, I CANN'T UNTERSTAND, HOW PEOPLE CAN DO THAT. FIDEL.

[Erlebnispaedagogik]

sucks !

[Erlebnispaedagogik]

sucks !



[rulzzzzzz]

Congrats, you've been cracked :)

[sultan121]

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwww

[ApolloXVIII]

This is spectacularly 2001. Holy shit. Wow. Um. Wow. Um. How have I not known about this until now? Fail on my part. Appalachian State things this is awful.

[asteraki88]

God this song sucks!!!!!!

[kielbasa66]

You dumb, sick, fucking bitch

[07charlie08]

is it really recruitmentday? or is it more like a senior gathering end of year, umm show?

[Nebu70]

REAL DRAMA...Where do they get these people... amazing.

[wheeljak]

Who is responsible for this video, and how many people have been forced to watch it? I think it may be time to have trials at The Hague again.

[rcb719]

Lol, I love all of the people on here taking this so seriously. I sure hope anyone commenting on the actual quality of Ernst and Young's services or saying they will no longer apply to this company realize that there are plenty of other firms that do this cheesy crap as well. Youtube most other big companies and you will find something equally embarrassing!

[kissezandchaos]

no amount of money would ever convince me to show my mug in this ad. They should all be so ashamed of themselves... Oh Gosh...

[villainRu]

И что это за секта? Кто нибудь был там?

[lifeinpictures]

Bought and paid for with ill gotten game. Ill gotten Game? Who talks like that? OMG I'm fighting with myself again...

I'll wait till I fall asleep and give myself a blanket party (editors note: see Full Metal Jacket).

[ltlwatcher]

Of course they are happy (in other words, GAY!).

[ltlwatcher]

GAY!

[IFknHateUTube]

They must be paying all these people really well for them to put up with this shit.

[hamsammitch]

Never forget, caucasians, Ernst & Young died for your sins; break it down.

[moniaobcy]

o_O wtf?

[WernerQwerty2]

Shocking! I don't want future like that....

[fishbone937]

MP Rules!

[Pinesgirlxoxox]

Horrific...when do they pass out the Koolade

[c7uk]

wow that's awful

[Ashtray78]

Nuthouse

[Wormdei]

Not shown: the few seconds at the end when Marxis-nihilist commandos break in and shoot that fucking band through the kneecaps.

[delta617]

what a shit. Fuck all the corporations. Those people looks like zombie in "Resident evil", they are nearly the same...

[amsterdream]

[Catastrophe9001]

I will not be doing any investing with a company that humiliates it's employees so...

[MynameisBear]

Those poor saps...

[fjlj480]

I want this chick at my funeral

[Sylderon]

Okay, I could only watch the first 40 seconds of this before I had to stop it. This is unequivocally horrible, bordering on evil. And that's entirely aside from the fact that they're using a religious song with the words changed around to celebrate an investment firm. This reminds me of the SouthWest Airlines commercial about the humiliating team-building exercise.

[WynneL]

"Breakdown!" *doubles over, laughing painfully* That woman's performance is so cheesy! Oh, man... the expressions on most of the employees' faces are priceless. Either a Stepford smile, an uncomfortable fake smile combined with pained and trapped-looking eyes, or a flat-out "screw whatever morons thought of this" expression. Only a few looked like they were thinking, "I am enjoying the hilarious stupidity of this!"

Even better than watching is reading the one-liners in the comments. Priceless.

[TheLostAge]

Is this blasphemy?

[panchobuff]

How much cocaine is that woman on??

[19780433]

Part of me just died.

[54740020]

the body can only handle so much vomiting. Also, awesome name bro!

[19780433]

Why thank you, I was worried it might be taken when i first registered but looks like i got lucky!

[feeltheillinois]

the one time suicide is the only answer..

[pillowpannts]

the only colored guy is at 3:00 and he's drinking. theres an asian guy dancing around towards the end if you look closely.

[Orypeci]

I wonder how many employees went and drank themselves to death after this?

[moofassa22]

Does anyone else get visions of 1984 when they watch this?

[NicheMeerkat]

That is unbelievably cringe worthy. My God.

[fingerprint211b]

I'd rather get fired than do that

[MinimalKicks]

Thank god I'm at PwC

[camryncamryn]

Looks like it's made in Germany... not sure whether this is a product of firm culture or German culture ;-)

[0800DialTurk]

I work for these people!!!

[SirTenTea]

I worked for a multi-disciplinary healthcare office where they did something equally nauseating. For years after I had a hard time hearing "I Feel Good" by James Brown. They ruined the song for me. This one isn't as good as the guy that did the Bank One "One" song. I wish it hadn't been pulled. This one I'm sure will be pulled. She definitely looks like one who will go far in the company. She's definitely kissed all the right buttcheeks. How about a new reality show: "American Corporate Idol"?

[essexflex]

Adter watching this video, I have withdrawn my application to Ernst & young... I cant work for a company I don't respect.. I will take my first degree in Mathematics and Accounting elsewhere!

[DelphNZ]

yep I bet you did that

[sd379]

I think i will be going to KPMG

[deltacrab]

ahhhhaahahaaaaaaaa thats is the most amazing pile of crap I have ever seen - how embarrassing for all.

[ltlwatcher]

Nerds

[waiu0235]

they don't look very "Happy day" to me, HaHa

[mlondre]

oh. my. goodness. seriously? have they never worked at a professional services firm? they probably fired 4 first years to pay for huey lewis and the news to be their backing band.

[ScottMcMillan]

Gay

[elprasho]

this is a pile of shit

pwc dominates e&y

[aakashiipm]

Quality in Everything we do!!!, and thats the reason we are on top always

[wogfh2011]

Wow...this makes me so, so glad that I'm a journalist. :)

[onemillionmaker]

EPIC FAILURE!

F**CKING LOSERS!

[harlekin55]

Frightening really....

But on the other hand how much fun it must be to work in an HR department and invent such recruiting measures and then probably spread the evidence on youtube yourself?!.

Then again...thats a bit sadistic isn t it?!

[schmierwurscht]

OMFG! That's such an embarrasing spot! Worse than any TV-commercial I've ever seen!

[ubiwi67]

Oh Gott - oh Gott !!!!!!!!!

[ecooyi3g]

uahh - never ask E&Y consultans to provide business services - maybe you need to sing, too.

[djg1895]

I'm so glad they rejected me.

[nombredeusuario1423]

@djg1895 You are jealous because they rejected you, this is a bad video but haha they reject you loser from losers hahahaha.

[nguavan93]

@djg1895: you should be glad 'cause you kicked them, not they rejected you :D

[kenfbell]

Wave those hands.

[ProfessorX29]

"Break it down."

[moseley101]

That singer's mouth is something to behold. If you ask me she's missed a trick;)

[GeraldineRoman]

Quality in everything we do!

[truskavka]

this is sooooooo cheeseeee!! bleeeh

[nancarma]

where are the people of color? everyone's white. despite the gospel song. bizarre.

[FutureEntrepreneur1]

ahahahahahahahahaa!

[FutureEntrepreneur1]

people of color like myself dont like to play with God. Turning a song of God into something sarcastic is just something most of us wont do. I cant speak for my whole race but I know its not common to turn a Gospel song into something this ridiculous. I laughed hard at this because I noticed no one black person in it..

[kirknzg]

black isn't a race. So yeaaaahh....

*zoom*

[skisliy]

mate its a song about god written by people, not the word of god, so get over yourself. if you wern't such a douche you'd realize that alot of "songs of God" start as popular songs and then are picked up by churches after time. and they've changed the lyrics so they're only using the tune - which almost all football chants in europe do, and i'm sure alot of your so called "race" at one point have sung a football song

[sourpotato1]

I don't see any problem. I think it's normal that employees participate in their companies' promotion projects like this... if employees avoid such projects it just shows they have some emotional problems...

[moseley101]

What? Sourpotato, I would suggest that people who subscribe to this propaganda rubbish are the ones with a stunted emotional response. In what way is being cynical of your employers/big business motives an emotional problem?

[JesusFreak817]

MY DAD WORKS FOR ERNST & YOUNG!

[catalinaguerrero]

sucks for your dad

[thebiggestowl]

please say ernst and young will soon fall victim to the credit crunch... no offence to those that work there, but this is almost soviet in its general awfulness.

[ciasteczkoLu]

these singing people may be from central Europe but the leading singer is from USA for sure - just take a close look at her overenthusiastic smile :P

[102050keenan]

my mom works there

[amotisi8859]

The sad thing is there HR dept. most likely dropped six figures to book and orchestrate this debacle...Thank god I work from my home, and make a living I'm proud of. God bless all

[tileq]

It's sick!!!

[rahimatulla]

what is so f**ing hailarious about this.

[ltlwatcher]

More like a McDonald commercial.

[BobMcCarthy]

And presumably only white people are prepared to embarrass themselves live on corporate video...

[richz4life]

ethnocentric....hiring practices at big 4!!!! YAY!!!

[zagiosi]

well this was most probably for central europe region so think again.

[Kaempf]

Sorry zagiosi... but I do work for EY now for several years in Europe and we would never do something that ridiculous like this...

[zagiosi]

dont know where you work but they definatelly did it for central europe region induction. all my older coworkers had to do it. My generation was the first one not doing it.

[BobMcCarthy]

The KPMG anthem was mediocre, jaded, coporate sludge. This, on the other hand, is embarrasingly terrible, all aspects of it are bad, the singer who was plucked out of a holiday camp cabaret night, the keyboard player who turned down a job composing jingles for local radio, the sick sick gear change after the 'break it down' bridge, this hideous car crash of a composition skids to a halt right at the end, presumably the 'energetic' lead out is them twitching on the bonnet.

[rmnott]

its been said before.... gay?

[zagiosi]

what's the name of the place where they have recruitment for europe in netherlands? does anyone know?

[noclafcz]

Veldhoven ;)

[zagiosi]

just been there. lol. this year we didn't sing it.

[noclafcz]

Me too. :D But karaoke party was great.;)

[OttoCZ]

voe, nespamuj! :D

Wonderfull training. Lots of usefull info and lots of great people.

[Hunk666]

Ernst & Young : Quality In Everything We Do (even if it is embarrassing employees ;-))

and do not forget: What's Next ? ;-)

[matzy2008]

jesus h. f##ing christ - what a bunch of numpties

[HiFiGuy197]

I'd like to congratulate EY on their minority recruitment efforts.

[johnniemoore]

As in the minority with no sense of rhythm?

[HiFiGuy197]

As in "you can count up the people of color that appear in the video on one hand."

While wearing a mitten.

[AquilaChe]

did she say "break it down"???? wow.... I think this video just gave me pink eye!

[nicholasheathcote]

Gay?

[foranangel15]

If you think this is gay, you should check out the KPMG anthem...hehe

[poldan11]

lol

[sloangymboy]

Went to a conference last week where the key note speaker used this video as an example of what not to do when communicating with employees (yes, it's legit!)...seeing this video was worth the price of the conference because I laughed my ass off for the whole 4 minutes and 29 seconds. Priceless. I'm so glad it's hear on YouTube so I can share it with my friends because there are no words that can describe it.

[cooling1018]

you have got to be kidding me.

please say you are kidding me.

[gambooyt]

These audit companies are crazy. I used to work for an audit giant and the day I showed my finger to these assholes was the happiest of my life. What a poor bunch of slaves, sad spreadsheet monkeys...what a pitiful world... They can tick my balanced ass.

[thinkdeniro]

i agree...they take any moron!

[CPteamtube]

They would have been better to hand out some cameras and get teams of employees to make their own recruiting videos.

[allendown]

i'm happy that they didnt make me do it when i was recruited hahaha

[smnuke]

in Romania, last year, a girld died working to hard for the benefits of this company. Is this commpany really a happy day?

[broknstrngz]

I suppose they were told "if you don't sing in the choir you should leave your resignation letter on your desk, after you clear it" :>

[barabima]

disasterous!

[dpallot]

God, this makes me ashamed to work for EY

[domeyhead1]

Christ, are they scientologists?

[kobochan1605]

o happy day... when i leave that firm... ha ha!

[debra5552000]

I was hoping to work for E&J once I complete my degree, no longer....

I would be embarrassed to work for this corp.

The singer is terrible.

[ggg2502]

HAhahahahaha KISS THEM GOOD BAY. The happy day was when I left this brainwashing bunch of excel worshippers :)

[tedcantu1]

This is fucking priceless... I used to work there. BIGGEST SLAVE ENCAMPMENT IN CORPORATE HISTORY.. 80 HOUR WEEKS.. spent on worthless campaigns for thankless fucks.

[debra5552000]

did you get paid overtime for the hours over 40?

[ltlwatcher]

They are "exempt" slaves.

[CaptainRixx]

Blasphemy :D

[carciofun]

AAAAAAAHHH!!!!

[christo9her]

GAY!!!

[hotspur95b]

*barfs*

[cheekychopsster]

beautiful

[osuboxer]

saying this is G A Y...GAYYYY is an insult to the gay community...horrible. I'd never want to do business with whomever thought this was a good idea.

[MisterTrilby]

So... Ernst & Young = Jesus?

[jojajuje]

I think he is a CPA...an accounting firm

[charleyshumway]

bull crap!

[mihaitirziu]

hello  in romania a girl named raluca died from working for this company. maybe this song its for her:(. nobodies knows but she worked herself to death because they ve forced the hell out of her. nobody took the blame , but this has to be kown. pardon my english i work 4 another good company

[madferrit]

yiiiikkes. I work for this firm....

[carveconsulting]

I just cannot believe this is for real but it appears to be. Was it meant to be ironic? This clip on YouTube is now the fifth ranked result on Google searches for Ernst & Young. They CANNOT be happy about that..

[tecno44]

Germany or not, this is what happens when you give 50 year old HR people free reign on "hip" marketing. Disaster. Hopefully they learned their lesson.

[yowza333]

Love the guy with the sweater draped around his neck. Hilarious! Rock on, brotha.
