Guy Hires 'American Idol' Reject William Hung To Hilariously Put In His Two Weeks' Notice Over Slack

Guy Hires 'American Idol' Reject William Hung To Hilariously Put In His Two Weeks' Notice Over Slack

Quitting, done professionally, is supposed to involve at least two weeks written notice and, depending on the company, a lengthy formal exit process.

Quitting, done awesomely, involves American Idol reject-turned-mega-star William Hung.


TikTok user @joellenlove is dating a guy named Chris. Chris recently found a new job and needed to give his two weeks notice to his old one. Chris is also, clearly, awesome.

Instead of going the usual route of sending an email or leaving a letter on your bosses desk, Chris opted to give management a bit of a show, with the assistance of one of America's favorite Idols.

No, not Kelly Clarkson. Not Jordin Sparks or even the fabulously named Just Sam.

American Idol is famous for more than just the winners, and in Chris's case it was a contestant from the other end of the spectrum who came in for the assist.

He selected none other than William Hung, whose Season 3 rendition of the Ricky Martin song "She Bangs" was so bad - but delivered with so much passion - that the world couldn't help but fall in love.

If you (somehow) managed to miss this culturally defining early 2000s moment, here it is.

Chris hired Hung on Cameo, a platform that lets you hire celebrities to create short clips for you. You could hire someone's favorite celeb to wish them Happy Birthday, or wish a new business a happy grand opening.

Or you could be awesome, like Chris, and hire one to give your 2 week notice for you.

Chris hired Hung to create a Cameo, then shared it (simply saying "@here" about it) in the Slack channel used to communicate with his coworkers. The clip featured Hung giving two week notice of Chris's resignation. It didn't stop there, though.

Hung continued with a positive, uplifting, message for coworkers and then William singing an original song called "Just Do It."

Amazingly, after being ripped to shreds by Simon Cowell and laughed at by much of the world, Hung did actually move on to have a career in music for several years. We don't know what Chris is moving on to in his career, but we know people love his departure announcement.

His girlfriend posted the video to her TikTok:

@joellenlove

and yes that is a William Hung original, not a cover #jobtips #worklife


And when we say people loved we mean they loooooooooved.

Seems like Cameo has a lot of uses some of us never thought of.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
