Finally the YouTube channel that everyone has been waiting for. The aptly named Hikea is all about people trying to make sense of Ikea instructions while high off their asses.
Building Ikea furniture is hard. Building it under the influence is much, much harder. But it’s something many of us have experienced. It’s a struggle that’s nearly universal. This series adds a degree of difficulty to a familiar challenge as we document the experiences of regular people – high on drugs like LSD or magic mushrooms – attempting to build well-priced furniture. Each episode introduces a new drug, new characters, a new Ikea puzzle. And we get to witness the highs and lows of these brave souls as they embark on the nearly impossible.
This is the first in the series. The challenge? A chest of drawers.
Giancarlo and Nicole try to build an Ikea dresser after both taking LSD. The acid complicates an already difficult task, but after hours of false starts, laughter and deep introspection, they just might be able to work together and finally complete “Step 1.”
While we would never glorify the consumption of hallucinogenic drugs, the sudden, revelatory discovery of “outside” at the 2 minute mark is pretty much the best. If shrooms are more your bag, meet Keith, who suffers an existential crisis and a utility side table.
