The Simpsons 'Ikea Man' Couch gag

[ayyyple]

I found the music
Its "Computer in love"
By Jean jaques perrey

[carolynharriman]

I like the concept that Homer doesn't know how to use instructions and just steals his neighbor's couch

[LouisEmery]

I heard that music several times on Radio-Canada in the 70s (interlude music). Since this Simpson episode I looked it up and heard it 102 times. My kids don't understand the nostalgia aspect.
"Computer in Love" by Perrey-Kingsley.

Homer taught me to steal my neighbors couch

[ansh]

That is exactly how I "assembled" my couch.

I’m a visual learner so, assembling furniture from IKEA is pretty simple for me since the instructions are pictures.
Their furniture lasts a long time and of course, after walking through the store you gotta get some Swedish Meatballs.

I actually went to IKEA recently in July, and I thought it was cool, but omg I was distracted by the dinosaur plushies they had. I want a Brontosaurus plush. 🥺❤️

[redsonicrickoverload]

[buildertherobloxian]

I wish the Ikea Instructions actually had Animations like this.

The manual -
Step 1: Notice that the couch is missing
Step 2: Order it
Step 3: Get the parts
Step 4: Bribe your son to build it for 1 dollar and he’ll say no.
Step 5: Say your catchphrase
Step 6: Don’t bother reading the manual. Just throw it away
Step 7: Get Tools, 3 Duff drinks and 3 donuts. It will take 5 hours usually
Step 8: Get the screwdriver
Step 9: Put in the screws
Step 10: Bend 2 nails and hurt your hand
Step 11: Take double the usual time to repeat steps 8 - 10
Step 12: Get woken up by your angry wife.
Step 13: Get an idea
Step 14: Break open your neighbor’s windows with a rock and take the couch
Step 15: Take the stolen couch to your house
Step 16: Flanders will notice that the couch is gone
Step 17: His children will pray for the couch.
Step 18: Sit down with your family, watch TV and you’re done!

0:15 o thats how kids started ignoring instructions for everything!

[TheRojo]

Everyone's making the mistake of using Norwegian orthography for a Swedish chain.

[sonicmastersword]

It is more effective than most instruction manuals, especially the ones that say just download it from their website…
