If you make good money that's great, but most of the model kitchens at Ikea are like $5k-$10k worth of stuff, and most people are there to buy a $100 table or something.
You yourself are saying Ikea is for poor people, so you're arguing against your own point.
Dude they're not asking about a specific article. The zommers in BuzzFeed reference is in the question to give it color. They're asking "what is a place that sells meatballs and furniture" holy shit
If you want to be pedantic, and you are being pedantic, the question mentions a “trip”
Implying vacation or travel
People don’t go on a “trip” to a furniture store
First of all, you've never heard the term "took a trip to the grocery store"? Second of all, even by your definition, you 100 percent take a trip to Ikea. People outside of major cities travel hours to them specifically to go to IKEA, and people in major cities travel to the outskirts to go to IKEA. The store is designed to be a several hour long affair which forces you through the entire place. There's literally a restaurant inside for a reason.
Buzzfeed isn't just color in the question. Its literally a key component. What if instead of Buzzfeed, the question said "Snapping selfies in kitchens you can't afford and taking a meatball break are two things European Travel Magazine says every twentysomething does on their first where?"
The question requires knowledge of a popular furniture store and its unique quirky food offering. Pop culture is a topic of most trivia events, and Ikea is not obscure.
But the question isn't about IKEA. Its about where Buzzfeed things people should eat meatballs and visit kitchens. Every place on that list has expensive kitchens and meatballs. To get the correct answer, you'd have to have read the Buzzfeed article.
It's one of those weird general knowledge things you pick up. Not sure where I first heard about it. I've only been to an Ikea twice and didn't notice meatballs because who buys food at a furniture store?
The question is bullshit because it’s one of the early questions and those questions are usually jokey in nature. He saw Ikea as the fourth option and dismissed it for this reason. This question goes against the established spirit of the show.
How would anyone even get that other than guessing? Do people really have encyclopedic knowledge of Buzzfeed articles? How many clicks does that specific Buzzfeed article even have?
They also sell kitchens in Rome. And they would likely be expensive because of the exchange rate, duty, and cost of shipping the kitchen back to the US. Hence kitchens you can't afford. Especially after you already spent the bulk of your budget on the trip itself.
Europeans don't have that connotation though, which is why a lot of them are dumbfounded by the answer. You think after all the threads we had on this though they would get it.
It's a dumb question with a dumb answer and by all means a dumb contestant, but it's also shitty because they threw the guy off by making it seems like it was a "three reasonable answers and one funny clearly joke answer to make the audience laugh" which was super common in the early stage questions of WWTBAM. I think in the video you can even hear people laugh when ikea comes up like it's a joke answer.
Also the IKEA answer is the only one that's wildly different which makes it seem even more like a joke answer. They could have thrown in a Costco or something.

First, there aren’t that many Ikeas. They should have used a store that’s everywhere like Target or something.
Second, literally everything IKEA does business-wise is done to reduce costs. That’s why you have to assemble everything yourself.
Third, kitchens are like the last thing Ikea is known for and people sure as frick don’t take selfies in front of them. Terrible fricking question.
Black person I've never set foot in an ikea and I still know what ikea is. You'd have to be a moron like the guy in the OP to not know the answer is ikea from the meatballs alone.
I used to think it was kinda dopey how many pictures tourists took. But now that everyone has a high-powered camera available I realized that many people will take as many pictures as humanly possible of every aspect of their life.
Adults whatever, they can attention prostitute all they want. But kids doing this isn't that great.
Zoomers taking pictures in mock kitchens or other mock home setups at stores like Lowes/Ikea/etc and posting it with the caption of "bought my first house at 18" was unironically a big thing as a way to flex.
This is why I would never go on jeopardy, I know I would choke under the lights, and once I got a few wrong I would panic and miss more,
I would be the chump with like minus 2000 at the end of the game that gets posted here.
It is a weird question. I think if he paid more attention to the tone of the question and re-read it a few more times he should have got it. Usually the answers are the jokes, but in this case the question was kind of a joke. If one of the answer choices was Nebraska Furniture Mart or something he would have no excuse. Probably pressure got to him and he didn't think staight.
Why would you be shopping for kitchens in rome
Italians have the greatest daste in interior decorations. They are not only known for being the best at sex you know 😉
the absolude greadest :-------DDDDDD
The question doesn’t mention shopping for kitchens
Just being in kitchens you can’t afford
They’re kitchens in Rome
Why would you think people walk around going into random people's houses to get a selfie of kitchens they can't afford, moron?
Why would you think people take selfies in a fricking furniture store?
Refer back to
Some people call restaurants kitchens
Italian marble? Ever heard of Valcucine?
they give you a USB with your kitchen plans and you just 3D print it when you get back home
What a dumbass
low iq question
even lower iq answer
even lower lower iq tv show
>ikea
>can't afford
oh shit homie what are you doing
If you make good money that's great, but most of the model kitchens at Ikea are like $5k-$10k worth of stuff, and most people are there to buy a $100 table or something.
You yourself are saying Ikea is for poor people, so you're arguing against your own point.
The question is objectively unfair and requires a knowledge of a buzzfeed article
They set him up
You're fricking stupid holy shit
Throwing insults but no counter argument
You know I’m right, it’s a bullshit question
Dude they're not asking about a specific article. The zommers in BuzzFeed reference is in the question to give it color. They're asking "what is a place that sells meatballs and furniture" holy shit
If you want to be pedantic, and you are being pedantic, the question mentions a “trip”

listen here esl you can take a trip to the store people say it all the time
Only Americans who drive everywhere
Buzzfeed isn't just color in the question. Its literally a key component. What if instead of Buzzfeed, the question said "Snapping selfies in kitchens you can't afford and taking a meatball break are two things European Travel Magazine says every twentysomething does on their first where?"
>what is a place that sells meatballs and furniture
This was literally no non-autistic person's thought process
>They're asking "what is a place that sells meatballs and furniture" holy shit
Yeah...And?
typical white men, blaming everyone else for their failures
>requires a knowledge of a buzzfeed article
Why does that matter though? Yeah it's stupid but this isn't an IQ test, it's random trivia.
It’s trivia based on an obscure article
The question has unfair reasoning
The question requires knowledge of a popular furniture store and its unique quirky food offering. Pop culture is a topic of most trivia events, and Ikea is not obscure.
But the question isn't about IKEA. Its about where Buzzfeed things people should eat meatballs and visit kitchens. Every place on that list has expensive kitchens and meatballs. To get the correct answer, you'd have to have read the Buzzfeed article.
It's a sponsored question
wrong i got it right and ive never seen the buzzfeed article
sounds like youre just no good at thinking lmao
>Trivia requires knowledge
Antisocial nerds aren't allowed to win the million. That's why they start with the normies question.
>this trivia question is unfair because it requires specific knowledge
kek'd and check'd
It requires knowledge of Ikea, not the buzzfeed article
coal
wrong though
true though
i hope this dumb homosexual went home and cried and then killed himself.
what a fricking loser
b***h on the right is pulling a pic related. Someone needs to shop it on
He's doing the seethe face
Thats the b***h on the right. Literally look at her chin
>To Rome
Non mangiamo polpette porco IL DIO
*coughs*
The frick is a meatball break? I would have guessed Paris because that shit sounds gay AF.
How are you supposed to know that they sell meatballs at Ikea?
It's one of those weird general knowledge things you pick up. Not sure where I first heard about it. I've only been to an Ikea twice and didn't notice meatballs because who buys food at a furniture store?
Going outside
It's a piece of pop culture, same as a Costco hot dog.
For me, its the strawberry sunday.
by not being a fricking nerd. every normalgay knows about ikea
to be fair meatballs are associated with Italian food
I can see how he got thrown off
The question is bullshit because it’s one of the early questions and those questions are usually jokey in nature. He saw Ikea as the fourth option and dismissed it for this reason. This question goes against the established spirit of the show.
How would anyone even get that other than guessing? Do people really have encyclopedic knowledge of Buzzfeed articles? How many clicks does that specific Buzzfeed article even have?
You could use the context of "kitchens you can't afford" to assume it's a place that sells kitchens, ie Ikea.
The guy even said he knew Ikea is associated with meatballs. He was foiled by his own autism.
They also sell kitchens in Rome. And they would likely be expensive because of the exchange rate, duty, and cost of shipping the kitchen back to the US. Hence kitchens you can't afford. Especially after you already spent the bulk of your budget on the trip itself.
Rome isn't a store, so the afford part wouldnt really factor.
Where do people in Rome buy things, then? Do they have to organize a couple hours trip to a neighboring place that is explicitly a store?
At Ikea.
Rome was clearly misdirection because meatballs = Italy
Europeans don't have that connotation though, which is why a lot of them are dumbfounded by the answer. You think after all the threads we had on this though they would get it.
It's a dumb question with a dumb answer and by all means a dumb contestant, but it's also shitty because they threw the guy off by making it seems like it was a "three reasonable answers and one funny clearly joke answer to make the audience laugh" which was super common in the early stage questions of WWTBAM.

Also the IKEA answer is the only one that's wildly different which makes it seem even more like a joke answer. They could have thrown in a Costco or something.
But I go to Lowes when I want to see kitchens I will never be able to afford.
What is his facial reaction conveying?
Nobody actually does this, right? Ikea isn't a fancy furniture store, so it would just be like taking a selfie in a regular kitchen.
For me its the kitchen in Joanna Gaines show "Magnolia Table"
Kino
She seems like she would be a good waifu
Chip and Joanna are great. Just wish they would tone down the sap a little bit, it's too on the nose. Obviously for the cameras.
>The man that mindbroke Cinemaphile forever
They should get him back on the show.

lmao posts like this are 100% in-line with
holy frick
>i lack basic pop culture knowledge so this question is heckin' terrible
The question didn’t say furniture you dildo it said KITCHENS.
I unironically think like that. now why would I make snap judgement when I can assess and think every option available to me?
There are STILL autismos on Cinemaphile that would’ve unironically answered Rome? What’s wrong with you? ESL I assume.
if hunter biden said rome, ikea would be russian disinfo
I have no idea what this means and I’m glad I don’t. Why is /misc/ filled with ESLs obsessing over American politics?
how do you know about /misc/
Bro, the board has flags. One quick glance reveals how many ESL third worlders post there.
I always assumed /misc/ posters would be the kind to use vpn
cant you just choose the flag you want
You need to die.
>buzzfeed says
so we gotta know every fact about hack journalism on the spot now?
Obviously it was his fault for not being tapped into the feed that was all the buzz.
Refer back to
>taking selfies in kitchens
>in rome
this nerd needs to touch grass
do people really go to foreign countries and take selfies in every kitchen they find?
No, which is why only a moron would answer Rome. It’s obviously Ikea.
Do people really go to furniture stores and take pictures in every kitchen they find?
How many selfies have you taken in Ikea?
Answer the question dumb c**t
I used to think it was kinda dopey how many pictures tourists took. But now that everyone has a high-powered camera available I realized that many people will take as many pictures as humanly possible of every aspect of their life.
Adults whatever, they can attention prostitute all they want. But kids doing this isn't that great.

>americans cant even buy furniture without eating
lmAO
>Ikea
>American
Ikea is a Swedish company.
I've never seen a meatball at ikea. They have shitty hotdogs and dark coloured water that's allegedly cola. t. 90% of furniture owned is from ikea
>90% of furniture owned is from ikea
how are you alive
The restaurant must be upstairs and/or located in a place you're too fat or ignorant to go to
This is why I would never go on jeopardy, I know I would choke under the lights, and once I got a few wrong I would panic and miss more,
I would be the chump with like minus 2000 at the end of the game that gets posted here.
i sincerely doubt any buzzfeed writer could locate the general location of rome on a map
When did they start asking questions about facebook boomer memes?
He literally says that he knows Ikea serves meatballs. He is a brainlet and got outsmarted by the meme first question.
>brainlet
He was actually too smart to comprehend such a stupid question
>too smart to win
hillary all over again
