The How I Met Your Mother Blog

The invitation came without solicitation. Well, that’s not entirely true. I had added Carter Bays and Charlene Amoia as friends on Facebook and, to my surprise, they not only confirmed but Charlene sent me a nice note thanking me for the site. I wrote her back and in a fit of confidence offered to buy her a beer the next time she was in New York. Proving how legendary she really is she did me one better: “How would you like to attend a party in New York tomorrow with Carter Bays, Pam Fryman, and the cast?” I would like that very much I told her.

If you listen to the entire 10 minute song on Tedmosbyisajerk.com there is some backwards dialog at the end. What does it say forwards?

Wendy the waitress is the mother, Wendy the Waitress is the mother, Wendy the Waitress is the mother. Just kidding.

Check it out:

Update: The woman singing this song is Charlene Amoia aka Wendy the Waitress. That makes it even more awesome. If you’re like me and find this song oddly enjoyable, you can download it here.

We all know and love her as Wendy the Waitress but as several readers pointed out, Charlene Amoia pops up in a lot of commercials and guest appearances on other shows. Here is a random smattering going from most recognizable to least-in-English. Enjoy. The pictures at the bottom are just for you as well.

Speed Reel

Here is a reel from Amoia’s agency. It has clips from My Boys, The Young and the Restless, How I Met Your Mother, and Joey. Also, her information is at the end in case anyone is looking to cast her in something.

Wal-Mart

This is the first time I noticed her outside of HIMYM. I love the old guy in this spot.

My Boys

Here’s the extended clip from My Boys where Charlene gets hit on by Mario and Luigi’s younger brother Esteban.

Joey

Charlene is in Joey’s book club. Extended clip from the speed reel.

McDonalds

This is a surprisingly sexy commercial for the golden arches. Check out how she purrs “I like it cold”. Who could argue with that?

DCU Commercial

OK, this is a stretch but she looks cute and is smart about managing her money!

Meetic Commercial

I have no idea what Meetic even is. Is it a product? A show? A movie? It seems like it might be French. Keep watching past the initial part, it kicks over into English and gets very, very funny. It also has the song “Too Drunk to F***” by Nouvelle Vague (listen here).

Wash Day

Looking cute yet again. This guy is worse than Barney. Goldters? Cabana in Maui? Is this what happens to hot girls whilst they do their laundry?

There’s a few more videos with Amoia that aren’t as entertaining.
