This features a guy singing about how he got his Wendy's Portobello Melt. Wendy's girl joins in then the whole office joins in. Problem is they're singing OFFKEY!!!!!!!!

Morgan sings again! Ermm

Yeah, I've already seen two different ads like this. It's bad enough their prices are so jacked up.

It's finally gotten to the point that as soon as I realize it's a Wendy's commercial I change the channel or at least mute and look away.

OH. MY. GOD.  The "singing" makes my skin crawl.  I'd call that sound "de-harmonization."  It sounds like a bunch of 3-year olds all making up the same song on the spot that makes no f*cking sense, and then singing it like they had some sort of collective mass brain injury.  Dead

Just saw this a few minutes ago for the 1st time during the football game, slightly different version than the YouTube video. WTF, really...just so damn stupid! 

And of course since so many morons with zero common sense watch TV (not us, we know better! ) they have to add this "Do Not Attempt" disclaimer.

Thanks for telling me this, I was going to try this later tonight but a fast food joint tells me not to. Idiots! Confused

...And the ad is called "Earnthem" (I read that as a twist on words using 'Anthem' - but I guess not.) 
What the hell does "Earnthem" mean? Is that a Hashtag?

Ya know what on second thought...I don't wanna know!

From Wendy's "About This Commercial" on iSpot.tv:

It doesn't take much to earn yourself one of Wendy's Bacon Portabella Melts. Show up to work just early enough to not get fired? Just sing a song and grab a burger!

Just saw it now, in fact CBS decided to play it then finally go to the football game where the play was already in progress... I still have a headache from that “singing”.

I saw this one over the weekend - I had to do a double take because she looks like she's grabbing his crotch - until I realized she was removing that stupid sticky size tag thing.

I saw this a couple times this weekend, and still haven't forgiven myself for putting myself through the entire thing the 2nd time. Angry

That insipid song hits the same nerve as that song on the Wayfair commercials

The singing is actually not as bad as I expected (put the pitchforks down, it's still bad just not "Armageddon-causing" bad!)

On a side note, I like Morgan's new look with her hair down and with that skirt. Unfortunately, this isn't a commercial for hiring her as an escort

They ought to promote their burgers as being as big as Morgan's ego.

They must have stole "office singing off-key" from the Charter Communications triple play commercial. Also set in an office, with a horrible pop "song" about cable/phone/internet.
