Many corporations invest in so-called “team building” video productions to fan the flames of employee enthusiasm. Some are good. Some are bad. And some — well, some are Ernst & Young. As one Web-industry pundit put it, “This is either the best SNL sketch or worst corporate video ever made.” Enjoy.

    The song repeats "When Ernst & Young" too much. Conveying a message through a musical spoof creates a number of distractions -- in this case, the presentation is cheesy and may be embarrassing to watch, and audiences would nitpick or shy away from it rather than actually absorb whatever lesson it attempts to deliver. Furthermore, a risk in sending a message through song is that while music is the universal language, people have varied musical tastes. The song would have to really be good in order to be effective, which is a challenging feat.
