Holy Cow! A teeth-clenchingly bad corporate promotional video. All to the tune of Donna Summer's She Works Hard For The Money. It's like a terrible office party captured on video for all time. Via. Short download required to watch vid

  • So I should invest with them because they dance around making silly videos work hard for my money?
  • Must. Stop. Watching.
  • I tried to stop, but couldn't, even when the formation dancing began. I feel a bit sullied now.
  • I only lasted 8 seconds.
  • Dude! Seconds 9 onwards are the best...
  • That is just embarrassing. Even for corporate video.
  • Thank god for the pause button.
  • The pause button is next to the puke button.
  • The dignity of labour.
  • Couldn't stop it. Like watching a spider's nest, all those little baby spiders wiggling out the silky egg... *shudder* If that was an internal, employee-produced vid, OK. But actual advertising... I feel ashamed to work in the field, right now. Must go show hands.
  • Wash, wash, WASH! Ah, damn you, Freud.
  • It reminded me of the We Are the World video...well, the studio parts.
  • Oh. Dear.
  • well, its done...i gave them all my money...now all i gotta do is sit back and wait for my investment to return. btw, wtf is a grp? is that 'group m's clever name for grapes?
  • "My confidence in their investment abilities dramatically increased when the dancing began." Consumer survey
  • Dear Client, We work hard for your money. Sincerely, Mindshare
  • i wondered too about grp, apparently: Gross Rating Point. Circulation expressed as a percentage of the market population. Formula: GRP = Total Circulation / Population
  • C'mon now peeps, your toes were tapping ... admit it.
  • On a 2nd viewing, how many people in the video actually appear to be working, let alone working hard? I see a couple of people photocopying (including a gratuitous bottom closeup, very professional [down quid! down!]) and that's about it.
  • So this is the new OK Go video? Damn, they really splurged on the production values this time. Yeah, I found it endearingly dorky. I have a weak spot for a bunch of sincere Dutch people putting on a show.
  • They work hard to make a video to appear to work hard for your money. I'm convinced!
