Old lady here who does not need anything that IKEA sells but has never been in one so had it on my list of things to do. Your lovely video has enabled me to see what I have been missing and now I can check one thing off my list of things to do without actually having to do it. Thank you.
“You know what I’m in the mood for? Watching some random guy walk around a furniture store”.. said no one Yet here I am and you know what? it’s brilliant! Keep it up Garron👍
@luvmonger ooh, I have a question, is it weird for you shopping there with everything being named after a person? Is it like "I went there to by a George, but I ended up buying a Wendell, two matching Humphreys, and a 12 piece Barbara set with a Gloria holder"?
@@Erasmustherobot a lot of the things are not named after people, it's a mix of people's names, random words and nonsense. To answer your question: no it's not weird you don't really think about it, if anything, it just makes the experience smoother as everyone knows what you are talking about. I think everyone in Sweden at least knows of the Billy bookcase if not own it.
Ha ha, Garron is the absolute king of social media in Ireland. The only person that can force people to subscribe by swearing at them. You’re a hero lad 😂😂😂😂
Mixing the screws together in one bag forces the builder to warm up mentally and test their resilience prior to assembly. If you can't make it through the sorting process without getting mad, it means you've exhausted your mental bandwidth and need to save the assembly for another day after a good night's sleep.
@FabianMacGintyONeill Yeah. No. Not all of us. The last time I assembled a piece of furniture from IKEA (it was a wardrobe), I cried quite a lot and felt ready for the nuthouse.
@@karinberonius8799 It's quite funny, Irish people generally assume that everyone from Scandinavia is a 6'6 superhuman that's amazing at everything and speaks better English than we do whereas we're just a bunch of bog-dwelling hobbits by comparison
The slight panic in your voice as you journey through Ikea is actually quite adorable. And then the way your face lit up with the Swedish meatballs and mash. Not a word of a lie, you are an International Treasure at this point, Garron
When I lived in Dublin I used to love going to IKEA for 2 reasons: 1. the food, 2. nosily overhearing couples having relationship-ending arguments. Every single time there'd be at least one. Haven't watched the full video yet so entirely possible Mr. Noone covers it. Yup Garron!
Native Swede here. A fun fact about IKEA is that Ingvar Kamprad is actually our original landsfader and we are all assembled in his stores where the workers will put us together piece by piece.
@Celestialstars00 Can you have a word and ask him to stop churning out brilliant meatball makers and put together a couple that can make a good dessert?
@@sallymb6356(Jokes aside, I actually highly rec looking up the recepie for Swedish chocolateballs bc they are so easy to make that even children do them over here without any adult supervision and they’re quite good too)
When my daughter was little, I would drop her at the Ikea free child care and then pick a room and just sit there in peace until It was time to pick her up.
Holy shite that’s a good idea, unfortunately I live in the States now because of stupid love and I doubt this stupid fucking country has free child care anywhere, my mate pays 2000 fucking dollars for child care a fucking month. I no longer want children 😂
I almost peed my pants watching this. My first time in IKEA lasted 3 days as I couldn’t find my way out. The reason people are sitting around like they live there, is because they can’t get out. I’m glad you got out. 🤓
I loved seeing you slowly get overcome by Ikea. It's a marvel of brainwashing. You don't go in wanting an Ikea home, but by half way through, you are completely enamored by everything.
As soon as you win an award, you start changing. You start buying desks, eating fancy meatballs like you're some sort of arch duke or something. You've changed man. What happened to the Garron, I only recently stumbled upon and started following only two weeks ago?
Agreed, content creators that I hastily form a parasocial relationship with must abide by saintly standards of morality that I arbitrarily set depending on the mood I'm in when I watch their videos
Loved this. I've been to IKEA many times strictly to eat meatballs and buy the frozen ones. I've also bought furniture to assemble and am not a beginner. I know you need to drink coffee, use the toilet, and meditate first. Then, if Mercury is not in retrograde you have a good chance. Do not start assembling anything until you've double checked all parts are actual there. That's the first thing you much do.
IKEA should pay you for that! I've never been to one of their shops. Now I want one of those pencil lights. And some of those glowing heads! Delicious!
“I feel like I’m in the same place but the stuff around me keeps changing” is the IKEA experience. It’s basically one giant liminal space. (Could you imagine what Beckett could have done with the place?!). I don’t think I fully understood how tall you are before this video. You’re up where the lamps are 😂 Looking forward to part 2. Also, only in Ireland do they start a sesh in the IKEA.
Be careful!! When they opened IKEA in Milan (we have 2 of them) I got addicted and had to go in rehab.🤣🤣 Especially avoid the paper napkin sector. If you need some I still have tons of them in all possible colours as well as unnecessary kitchen tools. I do not cook at all.😛😛
Well you picked the right day for it, I've never seen live music in Ikea, and boy did it look lively :) looking forward to the next episode in the desk making :D
Thanks for the review. I'll be swinging by Ikea and the taps as soon as possible. But I'll be taking the shortcut listed on the map, no need to be exposed to whorish lights more than necessary.
As someone who loves going to Ikea- this is exactly the experience (except the band😂). You will always have confusion about where you're going & what people are doing. You gotta stop and have a yummy meal of meatballs with lingonberry jam to recharge. And everyone gets way too excited about something random you don't need (like sinks). 😂 I do admit I am very lucky that I was given the blessing of being able to understand Ikea directions, though. 😅
I've always assumed that they put the restaurant at the end as both an incentive to leave, and a way to replace all the energy you burned walking the 26 miles around the shop, so that you can actually make it to your car and back home without passing out.
@@reginaseelaIam Maybe that's why so many people were sitting down like they lived there... They'd found the restaurant early and needed to sit and digest before tackling the world's largest maze 🤔😂
Haha "I put this bit of metal on to that bit of wood and I put this bit of metal onto that bit of wood, I think I'm done for the day" I don't even get that far lol 😂
Girlfriend is still there today. We’ve launched a search party 4 hours ago and they too have disappeared. A second search party has just been launched. Dog bless Edit: thanks all for the love and support. She’s home and all is well. Bit shaken up after the hypnosis of the taps 👍
I went to an IKEA just once- I was fascinated, but also terrified that I would never escape. If it is any consolation about the desk- my son in law ( an architect with thirty years experience) almost gave up in despair over putting together an IKEA desk😅
I agree. I can not go to the IKEA furniture section b/c I lose all hope of getting out alive. Panic attacks ensue and the signs directing you don't work. I start screaming and crying until a staff member finds me. Generally, I stick to housewares because it is easy to get out of. IKEA: I Know Exits are Around.
Yes indeed. I have a panic disorder as well. It's Agoraphobia with Panic. Positively hellish. I've never been to Ikea, but just watching you go through the labyrinth, my lips feel numb. 😵
As an ex-pat your colour observation of the gravy was a word I have not heard in a long time - has me laughing out loud to myself as I sit on the tube in London
@@BarbaraOBrien-id8bw my gmom was from Donegal, so we pronounce all these goofy Irish words in her accent. 😉. “Weesht” (be quiet) is another one we say often. 😆
Anyone old enough to remember Arctic Rolls? I think that's what the dessert he ate kinda resembled. Ikea is always a good day out. The cafe is the best thing about it. He did very well to avoid frivolous purchases..
I love Ikea here in the USA. When I downsized to a smaller home, with my adult son, we split the house in two. I installed an IKEA bathroom, Ikea kitchen and Ikea dresser with matching bookcases with glass doors, one of those large multi-cube storage units, and two tall closet/cabinets. Oh, and the Ikea table with drop leaves and 6 drawers. Totally love the clean lines, affordability and easy do-it-yourself put-togethers! Of course, Ikea dishes, silverware, pillow, etc.
Thank you so much for making me laugh! I love your videos, they are bright, funny and very clever. I am looking forward to episode two of this so I can see your completed desk. Thanks from Canada. ❤
Tip for flat pack assembly. Get the instructions out , make a cup of tea and read before any attempt at aseembly. I would also recommend checking you have all the parts and screws and what-not before you start to avoid getting halfway through and having to stop as you're missing something. And if you can,make it in the room where its to be situated.
I don’t know how you do it, but I feel like you could read the phone book (do they even have those anymore?) and it would be hilarious. Love you, buddy! Keep being adorable! ❤
Loved this video. Glad you were recognized!!! I have to concentrate on staying very calm in our IKEA in Cincinnati. The constant walking in circles, getting nowhere and not being able to look out a window is a challenge. But that doesn't stop me from shopping there. I am right with you on the meatballs! ( I'll have to try the dome thing also.) You are so right about just throwing all the hardware in one bag, what a nuisance. And the directions with no words will test your mettle after awhile. Stay delicious! You a treat, for sure.
Yuuummm, I love the Swedish meatball meal at Ikea! 😋I've purchased and built quite a bit of Ikea furniture for my house over the years, I guess I'm a glutton for punishment. 🤪 Love that you were recognized and got that extra meatball! 👍
I was today years old when I discovered that the word filming is actually pronounced "fil-i-min." With an Irish accent! Looking forward to that video of you actually trying to put together that new desk of yours. Even cursing with an Irish accent is brilliant!
I was on a tram or bus the other day can't remember which and on the wall beside me was a poster for Garron, Tommy Tiernan and someone else for a comedy show. WTF, Tommy Tiernan and Garron on the same night. Garron is on fire 🔥
Oh Garron you are a breath of fresh air. I am so in love with your content but please say the word "potato" again in another skit. Love from near Vancouver, Canada.
Delicious, and good to the last drop. Garron, you never disappoint. I've been in an IKEA (near Chicago) and it was scary. I was so focused on getting OUT that I didn't try the meatballs. I did get an awesome, huge rainbow tote bag, though. ❤
As an IKEA veteran this rang so many bells! Getting your steps in with all the walking through bits you weren't there for.. wondering where the heck the exit is.. You didn't buy a load of stuff you didn't need, so fair play to you! The one thing I always try to buy is a big pack of mini Daims. Hubby has the meatballs in our freezer - he loves them too 😊
Garron a chara, the gravy comes in a powder that they sell in packets, it’s GREAT stuff. In fact, we even use it as a mega quick alternative to a cream sauce for steak! Just put a lot of black pepper on your steak, add the cream sauce and you’re away. It’s also BRILLIANT with chips!
What on earth possessed you Lizzie 🤭 of all the places you could have picked .. Be truthful which felt longer. Pregnant or a day in IKEA.. I love it.. hubby hates the place. Its the one place im gauanteed peace and quiet 😋😋
I like the use of the word "stupidly". I'd certainly agree with that assessment. I went there at about 6 months pregnant and felt like I was going to die by the end of it. I swore I'd never risk IKEA while pregnant again 😂
Even if you park the current controversy to one side, I simply don't see how garron won't be hammering mr beast in subscribers within a few seasons. Ultimate content, the busy sink area was so intense.
Hahah desk section lit like a brothel 😂 you should be paid to do an IKEA advert maybe a cheeky catalogue as well 🤣 I went to IKEA once for a new bed . By the end of it I'd lost one of my kids but that was ok I have two others anyway and thought I have a perfectly good floor to sleep on , was sooo stressful . Think them people sitting on the sofas have given up trying to find the exit 😂❤
The first hotdog I bought in England was from Ikea. I’d never seen a hotdog for sale anywhere in England before that. I live in the USA now, hotdogs everywhere. I haven’t been to the Ikea here yet though.
Confession time….i sometimes go to IKEA when I don’t need any furniture just so I can go to the cafe and have meatballs. They are almost as delicious as you Garron. 😋. Good luck with the desk construction. 🤞
Garron you are delicious, you are lovely, and you are gorgeous!! My parents were born and raised in Ireland and I grew up surrounded by my parents' off the boat Irish friends and random aunts and uncles that would come to the US for VERY long stays. It's been years since my parents made their transition it's goes down a treat (as my Dad would always say) to hear your beautiful voice. I had no idea how much I missed the sound of Ireland until I tuned in. Thank you!!
Hola Garrón. An addition to my earlier comment. The people you see sitting for great lengths of time in the little rooms are there because they are lost and are waiting for someone an employee or someone who knows the store to lead them have a grand day and good luck with putting your desk together.
and they say a literature degree is waste, but with deliciousness, and the irish Trifecta of craic poetry and generosity of in this case insights into homegoods, all is not lost. (except anyone now living in Ikea)
I never thought I'd find my doppelganger haha. It's weird because I see people who look like other people all the time but never see anyone that looks like me. You're the closest I've seen Garron haha. My hair is shorter but the beard is basically the same. Took me most of my 30 years on earth to be able to grow it.
Garron, there’s a book called Horrorstor by Grady Hendrix. It’s set in an IKEA-esque store so you are not alone in your sense of dread! Glad you made it out alive and thank you for your delicious content!
In an alternate timeline Garron, JackSepticEye and CallMeKevin rock the livestreams as Ireland's newest and best comedy trio doing the funniest Let's Plays on the planet.
Well done finding your way to the desks. I use the Hammersmith branch in west London - lovely branch, pretty small but takes an age to find the desks to pay. Sometimes I just can't find them so have to leave my purchases behind as an Ikea headache has taken hold.
Awesome sauce, you either timed that super well or the musical flash mob was there to celebrate your first visit. Well reported on all counts, a thrilling watch, less scary than being there in person but thrilling none the less.
Garron, most of the people aimlessly sitting in the rooms are the ones who have given up hope of ever finding a way out. I know, for I, too, was one of them once.
A true celebrity! Photographed by fans, given a thirteenth meatball at the cafeteria. Is there no limit to the star treatment! I bet the next time you go back, there'll be a glass jar labelled Garron in that little kitchen.

That's interesting
Must be international as loads of IKEA breakups in Canada too 😂 Sometimes we wait until we try putting the furniture together first though
If the shop doesn’t destroy your relationship, constructing a billy bookcase surely will

Thank you so much for making me laugh! I love your videos, they are bright, funny and very clever. I am looking forward to episode two of this so I can see your completed desk. Thanks from Canada. ❤
It was hilarious!! I loved it! I definitely agree with you about the screws!! Good luck with the assembling! See you in a year! 🤣😂🤣
Tip for flat pack assembly. Get the instructions out , make a cup of tea and read before any attempt at aseembly. I would also recommend checking you have all the parts and screws and what-not before you start to avoid getting halfway through and having to stop as you're missing something. And if you can,make it in the room where its to be situated.
I don’t know how you do it, but I feel like you could read the phone book (do they even have those anymore?) and it would be hilarious. Love you, buddy! Keep being adorable! ❤
Never thought I'd watch a video entitled 'my first trip to IKEA' but Garron makes everything entertaining and somewhat educational. Bualadh Bos!👏
Loved this video. Glad you were recognized!!! I have to concentrate on staying very calm in our IKEA in Cincinnati. The constant walking in circles, getting nowhere and not being able to look out a window is a challenge. But that doesn't stop me from shopping there. I am right with you on the meatballs! ( I'll have to try the dome thing also.) You are so right about just throwing all the hardware in one bag, what a nuisance. And the directions with no words will test your mettle after awhile. Stay delicious! You a treat, for sure.
Yuuummm, I love the Swedish meatball meal at Ikea! 😋I've purchased and built quite a bit of Ikea furniture for my house over the years, I guess I'm a glutton for punishment. 🤪 Love that you were recognized and got that extra meatball! 👍
I was today years old when I discovered that the word filming is actually pronounced "fil-i-min." With an Irish accent! Looking forward to that video of you actually trying to put together that new desk of yours. Even cursing with an Irish accent is brilliant!
You have me sold, l'm definitely going to have a day out in IKEA!!!! I've never been........it actually looks very enjoyable! 😁👍
I was on a tram or bus the other day can't remember which and on the wall beside me was a poster for Garron, Tommy Tiernan and someone else for a comedy show.
WTF, Tommy Tiernan and Garron on the same night.
Garron is on fire 🔥
Wear the best hiking shoes you've got.
Oh Garron you are a breath of fresh air. I am so in love with your content but please say the word "potato" again in another skit. Love from near Vancouver, Canada.
We put aside the decorative pillows from the bed when we sleep, my good man. Put em back in the AM upon fixing❤
Garron, you're the pinnacle of man! Absolutely delicious
A tour through an Irish IKEA and Garron commentary on the meatballs and mash was exactly what I needed today, thanks
"It feels like I'm going around in circles, but all the stuff I'm looking at is changing." Garron has confirmed that Ikea is just the Lost Woods.
Delicious, and good to the last drop. Garron, you never disappoint. I've been in an IKEA (near Chicago) and it was scary. I was so focused on getting OUT that I didn't try the meatballs. I did get an awesome, huge rainbow tote bag, though. ❤
that you didn't know you needed!
As an IKEA veteran this rang so many bells! Getting your steps in with all the walking through bits you weren't there for.. wondering where the heck the exit is.. You didn't buy a load of stuff you didn't need, so fair play to you!
The one thing I always try to buy is a big pack of mini Daims. Hubby has the meatballs in our freezer - he loves them too 😊
Garron a chara, the gravy comes in a powder that they sell in packets, it’s GREAT stuff. In fact, we even use it as a mega quick alternative to a cream sauce for steak! Just put a lot of black pepper on your steak, add the cream sauce and you’re away. It’s also BRILLIANT with chips!
I stupidly went to IKEA 9 months pregnant, I was definitely one of those people sitting in the fake living rooms for 45 mins 😂
What on earth possessed you Lizzie 🤭 of all the places you could have picked ..
Be truthful which felt longer. Pregnant or a day in IKEA..
I love it.. hubby hates the place. Its the one place im gauanteed peace and quiet 😋😋
I like the use of the word "stupidly". I'd certainly agree with that assessment. I went there at about 6 months pregnant and felt like I was going to die by the end of it. I swore I'd never risk IKEA while pregnant again 😂
This comment should be pinned 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂🫡
@@Mitch-Hendren 100% a day in IKEA. By the time we got to the end I had mentally prepared myself to give birth then and there. I was hurting 😂
Even if you park the current controversy to one side, I simply don't see how garron won't be hammering mr beast in subscribers within a few seasons. Ultimate content, the busy sink area was so intense.
FACT! Ikea will send you spare parts for any furniture you buy second hand! I was amazed! Free of charge too!
Hahah desk section lit like a brothel 😂 you should be paid to do an IKEA advert maybe a cheeky catalogue as well 🤣 I went to IKEA once for a new bed . By the end of it I'd lost one of my kids but that was ok I have two others anyway and thought I have a perfectly good floor to sleep on , was sooo stressful . Think them people sitting on the sofas have given up trying to find the exit 😂❤
The first hotdog I bought in England was from Ikea. I’d never seen a hotdog for sale anywhere in England before that. I live in the USA now, hotdogs everywhere. I haven’t been to the Ikea here yet though.
You absolutely crack me up. You nailed it on the trying to find your way out. You are a bright, funny, highlight for all of us.
Confession time….i sometimes go to IKEA when I don’t need any furniture just so I can go to the cafe and have meatballs. They are almost as delicious as you Garron. 😋. Good luck with the desk construction. 🤞
Garron should do a video teaching us how to be Irish, or teach us some Irish, spice bag and chicken fillet rolls 🔛🔝(blow this up so he sees it)
Garron you are delicious, you are lovely, and you are gorgeous!! My parents were born and raised in Ireland and I grew up surrounded by my parents' off the boat Irish friends and random aunts and uncles that would come to the US for VERY long stays. It's been years since my parents made their transition it's goes down a treat (as my Dad would always say) to hear your beautiful voice. I had no idea how much I missed the sound of Ireland until I tuned in. Thank you!!
Hola Garrón. An addition to my earlier comment. The people you see sitting for great lengths of time in the little rooms are there because they are lost and are waiting for someone an employee or someone who knows the store to lead them have a grand day and good luck with putting your desk together.
That was a fabulous tour of IKEA. The meatballs and the 'as is' section are the best things about IKEA, IMO.
A group of Hollywood comedians made a sort of soap opera on the sly in Burbank IKEA (it’s on YT). It’s peak tv.
and they say a literature degree is waste, but with deliciousness, and the irish Trifecta of craic poetry and generosity of in this case insights into homegoods, all is not lost. (except anyone now living in Ikea)
Lovely video
I never thought I'd find my doppelganger haha. It's weird because I see people who look like other people all the time but never see anyone that looks like me. You're the closest I've seen Garron haha. My hair is shorter but the beard is basically the same. Took me most of my 30 years on earth to be able to grow it.
I've got a son in Canada who is Garrons doppelganger as well! Crazy to see my kid the Irish version! He's delicious!
Garron, there’s a book called Horrorstor by Grady Hendrix. It’s set in an IKEA-esque store so you are not alone in your sense of dread! Glad you made it out alive and thank you for your delicious content!
Legend, Mr. Garron (Got lost in there myself on my one and only visit). Keep it up. 👍
In an alternate timeline Garron, JackSepticEye and CallMeKevin rock the livestreams as Ireland's newest and best comedy trio doing the funniest Let's Plays on the planet.
You have no idea how happy I'd be to see this but Daithí needs to be involved too.
@@Ashleekaa Sounds good to me!
Well done finding your way to the desks. I use the Hammersmith branch in west London - lovely branch, pretty small but takes an age to find the desks to pay. Sometimes I just can't find them so have to leave my purchases behind as an Ikea headache has taken hold.
Awesome sauce, you either timed that super well or the musical flash mob was there to celebrate your first visit. Well reported on all counts, a thrilling watch, less scary than being there in person but thrilling none the less.
Garron, most of the people aimlessly sitting in the rooms are the ones who have given up hope of ever finding a way out. I know, for I, too, was one of them once.
I always get very excited about all the lovely rooms and stuff at ikea as well. A long drive to Dublin from Mayo, though.
This video made me realise I have never looked up in an ikea…..I have now, thank you Garron - full coverage!
