If you’ve ever embarked on an IKEA shopping trip with your significant other, you know it can feel like navigating a minefield of relationship tension. Comedian Jake Thompson recently took this notion to a whole new level by dressing up as an in-store couples therapist at IKEA, bringing laughter to an otherwise stressful experience.

In a recent video uploaded to Thompson’s YouTube channel, he hilariously roams through the labyrinthine aisles of IKEA, stopping to chat with couples about their relationships while dishing out absurd statistics about furniture shopping-induced breakups. Sitting in a styled living room display, he introduces himself as a therapist from Sweden, ready to help couples navigate their conflicts. “This place leads to arguments over furniture choices,” he quips. “Are you projecting your feelings onto your partner? What’s the power dynamic here?”

Thompson continues to engage with various couples, sharing comical “facts” about IKEA, such as the claim that the term “IKEA” translates to “relationship breakdown” in Swedish and “anxiety attack” in German. He also humorously asserts that “90 percent of couples split before reaching the checkout.” It’s a wild ride through the absurdities of shopping for furniture, and the reactions from couples are priceless.

The video has amassed nearly 30,000 views, prompting viewers to share their own IKEA horror stories in the comments. One user cleverly suggested that couples should endure a three-hour IKEA challenge before being allowed to marry, potentially saving many from regrettable commitments.

The idea that IKEA can test a relationship is not new; psychologists have noted that trips to the store can lead to intense frustrations and disagreements, with one expert labeling it a “relationship nightmare.” While the meatballs and spacious family restrooms are enticing, the real challenge lies in navigating the crowds, sticking to a budget, and the inevitable assembly mishaps that follow.

If couples can survive a trip to IKEA, they might just be equipped to handle anything life throws their way. Thompson’s prank may be lighthearted, but it shines a light on the realities of shopping for furniture and the strain it can place on relationships. Who knows, having an on-site couples therapist at IKEA might not be such a far-fetched idea after all.
