IKEA is a furniture store whose name is Swedish for “two-legged stool.” Or in some cultures, IKEA stands for “We’re missing pieces in the box.”
Ha.
Well, it’s also one of the largest furniture retailers in the world, and they’re having a grand opening in two weeks at the chain’s new store in Cheras, in Malaysia’s capital city of Kuala Lumpur.
Okay, so why should people in upstate New York consider an IKEA store thousands of miles away?
Maybe it’s because of this commercial the company is using to promote the sale. The commercial is full of double-entendre puns about the product – English lyrics with Scandinavian furniture names – and on top of this, it also features a dancing panda and puppeteers in colored bodysuits with the lyrical tagline, “Get Cheras to Cheras.”
You have to see this commercial to believe it.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!
This is classic!
And funny!
And now I want an IKEA in Schenectady! Not Albany or Troy or Saratoga Springs, but in Schenectady?
Can you imagine the kind of commercial IKEA could put together by using the name “Schenectady” as a pun on the best places to kiss a woman?
You see what I did there. 😀
