Arguably, IKEA is one of the toughest stores to navigate, and this new video highlights just that. The video, which is a spoof of the hit movie GRAVITY’s trailer, is about a couple who is lost in the giant shop.
Although the video is set in the Swedish store, it is compared to outer space, as it says in the beginning, “At over 360,000 square feet, there is no sense of direction, no silence, bad cell service … Life in IKEA is impossible.”
ComediansDaniel Hubbard and Alexa Viola (as Sandra Bullock) star in this video,titled “Alfonso Cuarón’s “IKEA” – Official Trailer.”At first, the couple’s shopping trip starts out like any other – Hubbard and Viola are excitedly looking at all the furniture in the mammoth store. That is, until Viola walks ahead and eventually loses Hubbard…
Cue the hilarity that ensues – Hubbard receives a call from a panicky Viola as she tries to find her way out of the store. Hubbard, who remains calm during this whole process tries to guide Viola out of the land of furniture, all while eating IKEA’s infamous (and delicious) swedish meatballs.
Posted onto YouTube just last week, the video has already garnered over 1 million hits!
