Stuck in meetings all day? Trying to finish your homework at the last minute right before class? Whether you're a student or a drone of an office worker just trying to make it through the day, you're probably at least marginally stressed out, and we understand that. Take these memes as our condolences.

How do you make a soap opera parody even better? By filming the whole thing in a Burbank Ikea and calling it "Ikea Heights." 9 years have passed since the series first made its way to Youtube, but this 7 part web series is still full of laughs. Bonus: fans of Fresh Off The Boat and The Office will instantly recognize Randall Park in his hilarious role of jilted husband. 

Boredom begone!

Fyrkantig, Sparsam, Dagstorp, Grundtal. Unless you speak Swedish, these words can only mean one thing: Ikea.

But no more. Ikea, who for years has named their comfortable, affordable, and dorm room-ready furniture by following a pretty strict system, is now in the trolling business, and business is good.

Last night, for reasons unknown, so for now we’ll just assume that they thought it would be funny, Ikea replaced the names of their products with common Google searches. So suddenly a thing like Lattjo becomes “My Family Doesn’t Respect Me” and Memnes becomes “My Friend Only Talks About Himself.”

This is all apart of “Ikea's Retail Therapy.” Through this site, Ikea doesn’t just furnish your apartment with practical and fashionable Swedish goods, but also fixes your life — or, at least, gives you something to buy, so you can forget about your actual problems. Check it out.
