    The bird in the white dress at the start is a bit of all right.

    I was in Ikea once.

    It was like a fucking nightmare. Even their hotdogs are sold by weight.

    Why anyone would want to buy the same piece of ugly flat pack furniture that 5000000000 million people around Europe have in their house, is beyond me.

    I put it down to the lemming syndrome, which explains why some people even seem to enjoy walking around their warehouses, lemming style, for days on end.

    That song will remind me how IKEA go out of their way not to pay taxes by pretending to be a charity.

    Also at :26, I am amazed they are able to walk up drawers which are most likely made out of particle board.

    What annoys me about this ad is that the camera doesn't stay on the girls long enough.

    That's why man invented the pause button.

    Didn't you get the memo?

    "ugly" is your personal opinion.

    Why anybody would want to (a)drink the same kind of carbonated soft drink produced by Coca-Cola; (b) wear the same kind of denim jeans (c) watch the same kind of flat-screen tv (d) use the same kind of mobile phone; is not beyond me.

    Perhaps they are just good products?

    I'm reminded of the old joke "Eat Sh1te - 800 billion flies can't all be wrong....

    It should be a minute long ad of the girls dancing rather than those two funboys !!

    Well, in fairness - whose opinion would you expect me to express?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,925 ✭✭✭th3 s1aught3r


    The song is actually quite good. Would be a great christmas number 1

    I hope this ad isnt played to death like other ones and become the most irritating things, you want to kick the TV when they come on. That budweiser ad and the Bulmers one spring to mind

    Why would the fact other people have the same kitchen be a problem? Do you care that millions have the same computer as you? I guess you're just an extremely unique individual who probably bought an iPhone because he's just so creative.

    and all the New Romantics!

    Crap kitchens. I like the way the kids get only 2 square feet of space in the house though :D

    That's 'prefer' or as you obviously meant, 'purrfur'.
