21 Times Ikea Failed So Hard It Almost Won

    Öops.

    1. When it decided to name these cups after the male genatalia.

    2. And when this doll apparently came with a scrotum-like accessory.

    3. When it sold these candies, unintentionally taking the Lord's name in vain.

    4. When they sold this lamp, clearly stolen from the costume department of the New York City Ballet.

    5. When its marketing became s-e-x-y. This is a family store!

    6. When this in-store advert for its hot dogs let you know THE HOT DOGS ARE NOT ACTUALLY THIS BIG.

    7. No comment. No no noooooo.

    8. When Ikea had to put protective warnings on its display toilets because its customers apparently cannot hold it.

    9. The time it was not very considerate of gay people.

    10. The time it appeared to have been hunting Elmos and Cookie Monsters.

    11. The time it told you to get into the DEBT line, which is pretty much more accurate than saying "debit."

    12. When its titles in one language translated into something pretty weird in another.

    IKEA may not be aware of what Google translate says when it goes from Czech to English #fail #ikea

    13. When someone decided to write on the "medidical emergency" button.

    14. When its online assistant was ZERO help.

    Ask Anna @ikea answers that she doesn't understand the word "no" when she asked if the answer was helpful #fail

    15. When they told you to do this in the instructions ... whatever this means.

    I've built some IKEA furniture with weird instructions but this one tops them all. WTF is this top diagram mean?

    16. When they put this baby who looked like an old man in its catalog.

    why is the baby in this ikea catalog so ugly wtf

    17. Aside from the dumb sexual innuendo here, perhaps Ikea also needs to be going back to school. To lern how too speell.

    18. When they thought "Fartyg" was a name people would take serious.

    19. When they sold these scissors ... which you cannot operate without another pair of scissors.

    How the hell do you expect me to cut this open, IKEA?

    20. When it sold a shower curtain that only made you think of lady parts.

    21. And when it sold these bear-who-just-ate-grandma stuffed animals. Sweet dreams, kids!
