Best Story Ever.

Yes, But I think this is the clincher to the ad - It just made you say it instead of having to tell you. It really is a brilliant script. We all know the Ikea comes in pieces and we have to put it together. The ad never says it, mentions it or even hints at it. But we ALL thought it, and that makes a great commercial!

In our heads is where they want to be!

Pretty funny, but everyone knows IKEA furniture is packed flat. I call BS.

awesome.
(although if you think about it, it makes no sense unless the dresser had just arrived that day and the husband hadn't even seen it yet....)

well, the logic is as sound as with nearly every modern film shown on canal+, so it's not surprising
brilliant ad

That's the first thought that had gone through my head as well, it was still amusing though

Thanks Like I said, it was completely spontaneous and not pre-meditated - I had never cussed at a teacher before (and as far as I can remember, never did afterwards). There never was an episode like it during the rest of my time in grade school, so it's obviously the first thing that came to mind. I'm still unsure why exactly it made her stop, though..

It might have been the 5th grade and we had a real shitty Math teacher at the time. It's not that she really sucked at Math (she did), it's that she was just this terrible terrible human being (more on that in a sec); she was also our class supervisor, which meant she headed all extra-curricular activities, museum trips, etc.

One of her most screwed-up and unprofessional favorite things to do in class was to wait for a hapless kid to make a mistake while solving a problem on the chalkboard. She anticipated these moments like a fucking alligator in the Amazon jungle. Every kid dreaded having to go up to the front. Whenever an unfortunate youngling made a mistake, be it just an "+" instead of a "-" in an equation, she'd stand up, and say to the class "Johnny made a mistake, class. Let's all point a finger at him, laugh and say Mistake, mistake!" - I fucking kid you not. And everybody had to do it. It's like she could only get off on little kids being humiliated.

Now, I wasn't a prodigy, but I was pretty damn smart. Especially at Math. In fact, I was already better at it than she was. I was also pretty much a poster child - almost never caused any trouble, didn't cuss, etc. As a result, there was little reason for her to have me up there after the first couple of times of going to the chalkboard and solving problems in a minute without any mistakes. Naturally, this made some of the other kids jealous of me, but that's not the point.

So one day she has me do it anyway. I get up there, start copying the equation from the textbook, and bam! I write down the wrong number. I realize my mistake after some 10 seconds and rush to the sponge to erase the incorrect integer and as soon as I start doing that, the bitch notices. Fuck.
She stands up. Takes two steps towards me. She says her infamous line to the class, some of whom are eager that the poster boy will be the recipient. They start: Mis...
Me (shouting, completely spontaneous): FUCK YOU ALL, MOTHERFUCKERS!

Nobody said a word. Hell, I was as shocked as anyone. I finished solving the problem and went back to my seat. I was never sent to the principal's office.

She never did that shit again.
