With everything going on, seems like everyone could use a laugh. The delightfully demented folks over at Funhaus have been cranking out a video series called No Idea IKEA where they have to build IKEA furniture with ridiculous challenges or handicaps. Along the way, they skewer just about every reality TV show and home improvement show out there while generally goofing around and playing up certain characters and going off on some hilariously bizarre tangents every once in a while. Some minor NSFW language, but very funny (or at least I though), and a good waste of 20 minutes.

Episode 1 is they have 60 seconds to read the instructions and then 60 minutes to build. The whole noire bit about the screws cracks me up every time.

 

Episode 2 is Adam is blindfolded, while James is handcuffed.

 

Episode 3 is they have to build while wearing oven mitts that are duct-taped on.

 

And Episode 4 is, for every Swedish meatball they consume in 90 seconds, they get a minute to build. And for every shot of Lingonberry juice they take, they get to read another page of the instructions. The whole "history" of the guy who invented dowels killed me.

 

As a long time watcher of Funhaus, seeing the normally deadpan Adam Kovic act like a goof is a bit of a shocker. Just a heads-up, if you enjoy these and decide check out the rest of their content, just beware, A) its heavily video game-related and B) it gets very NSFW very fast. They really like to test the boundaries of what Youtube will allow and have quite irreverent senses of humor. I enjoy them, but they aren't everyone's cup of tea.

These are ridiculous. Thanks for sharing!
I do feel like I've built enough Ikea furniture by this point that I could put a dresser together in an hour without instructions, but that may be hubris.

In reply to cmcgregor (Forum Supporter) :

Yeah, but have you tried it after chugging Lingonberry Juice? According to the Swedish commenters, that Lingonberry Juice comes in a container like its ready to be drunk, but is actually a concentrate that you are supposed to water down 4 parts water to 1 part juice. So they were essentially taking shots that were the equivalent of mixing Kool-Aid into water until it is the consistency of maple syrup.
