Video: Irish sketch brilliantly captures man’s ongoing struggle with flat-pack furniture

'Have you ever noticed how Sweden looks exactly like a giant penis?’

‘Have you ever noticed how Sweden looks exactly like a giant penis?’

Up until recently, Irish men had only good things to say about Sweden. It’s the home of Zlatan after all, it’s also home to quite a number of attractive females and who doesn’t love an old boogie along to some Abba when the mood takes them?

Since the advent of IKEA, however, our love for the Scandinavian country has dissipated somewhat. Hundreds of men are now forced to spend their Saturday afternoons wading through aisle after aisle of home products that they then have to spend their Saturday evenings trying to assemble when they get home.

The absolute hell that some men go through during that process is nicely documented in an Irish sketch by The Lads, featuring Zlatan himself (or at least a picture of him) kidnapped helpline workers and glasses of urine. You heard us.
