Ikea LAMP Puffer Fish

Ikea Lamp Designed to Look Like a Puffer Fish

Y
I thought he was going to inflate it somehow and put a light bulb inside. Edit: I
S
me too. left dissatisfied.
P
Deflated
M
Disassembled
S
No disassemble Johnny 5
L
That’s the joke
S
You just know he placed it on the beach with lettuce on it or some shit.
S
Yea, because you have to have that dried and preserved extensively to prevent it rotting. Then of course the staged row of lamps at the end too. Still, it’s silly and I enjoyed it.
L
As an avid lover of dead things, finding that on the beach was staged & I would buy it in a heartbeat.
F
^ This guy FBI
C
Staged row of lamps? In an IKEA store? Am I missing something?
S
It’s not in an Ikea store. He simply took some shelving, put lamps on them. They did this after showing you an ikea banner so it looked like they were in an ikea store.
C
Definitely looks like a legit IKEA store shelf to me, there’s even a bunch of boxes underneath. Real IKEA store or not, it doesn’t really matter. It was just funny that you pointed that out since to me that was the only part that seemed real :p They probably just put it there, filmed a quick clip, and took it back
N
Not saying its not fake but I see tens of these at my local beach all the time. My only question is the smell and guts. I don’t think that little dawn soap wash would get rid of the funk
T
There’s a reason he doesn’t do a close up of him drilling through it.
F
Hehehe…necrophilia, the victimless crime.
R
Last time I was in Florida the red tide was going strong and I could have brought home as many of these things as I wanted. You actually had to be cautious where you stepped because they’d be half buried in the sand.
F
It is concentrated dawn
N
He did buy a dried pufferfish but that’s not lettuce, it’s “sea lettuce” which is an algae very common on beaches basically everywhere [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea\_lettuce](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_lettuce)
R
Mister Puff?
S
Mrs puff wont talk about it.
T
That was the first thing I thought of: “so that’s what happened to Mr. Puff”. lol
F
He’s only sleeping and having the weirdest day of his life

I think it’s still a funny joke, staged or not.
X
are you a psychopath
O
Sometimes things are just funny and aren’t trying to, like, maliciously deceive you.

R
Yeah, scifi and fantasy movies too. If the aliens or dragons are not real, it’s not worth watching.

R
And the only sci-fi movies worth watching are the ones with real aliens.
A
“Then what happened to Mr. Puff?”
T
She doesn’t like to talk about it…
R
reminds me of that scene in spongebob where they were like [“what happened to mr. puff”](https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fspongebob.fandom.com%2Fwiki%2FMr._Puff&psig=AOvVaw3nUZyHmOn8wvmNOIKl1Uz1&ust=1751944026038000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBQQjRxqFwoTCLiu4pziqY4DFQAAAAAdAAAAABAM)

Everyone is commenting on the fish and no one is focusing on the absolutely ludicrous way he cut that board. Why not just cut twice? It already had a square corner. Why cut a section out of the middle so that you are forced to cut three times? It’s not like he was selecting for interesting grain pattern. He painted the damn thing! That is the biggest wtf from me. Rage bait!
L
You are focused on the cutting of the wood but I am wondering why he slathered half a bottle of dawn degreaser on the clean fish.
R
It probably smells terrible.
D
Yeah.. Wouldn’t it just decompose normally still? This is such Rage bait lmao
R
Have you smelled a beached, dead fish?
D
Yes.. theres a fancyish restaurant on the beach of I think lake eerie that I went to as a kid. Never understood why it was right on the beach since the moment you step outside the smell just hits you like a truck. Quite rancid tbqh..
Z
Dee you bitch! You haven’t thought of the smell!
S
Just cause you can doesn’t mean you should
L
The entire time, I thought you were about to bring this fish back to life—not make an actual lamp!
C
Oh lord this makes me so uncomfortable make it stop
W
You know, just because you can, doesn’t mean you should!
A
buying a dried out puffer just to place it there to do all of this is nasty work. lazy attempt at art.
R
I mean at least they made it to fuck with people. It would have been worse if they just made this because they thought it was art.
T
Jeebus reposting bot Christ, this one’s getting insane!
D
That looks fucking terrible, they make actual [pufferfish lamps](https://i.etsystatic.com/15383677/r/il/096be8/6700936243/il_300x300.6700936243_39t4.jpg) where they are inflated and have the lightbulb on the inside
