Hilarious! Conan Spoofs Ikea Uppleva TV Furniture
Conan commercial explains, "Just slip a magnesium oxide-coated plate behind your display panel ...."

It's not surprising that CE pros mock Ikea's new Uppleva furniture integrated with a TV, speakers, Blu-ray player, wireless subwoofer and cabling.
But now Conan O'Brien is getting into the game, with a hilarious spoof of Ikea's original commercial for the product.
In the Conan ad, a woman with a Swedish accent explains just how easy it is to assemble an Uppleva system: "Just slip a magnesium oxide-coated plate behind your display panel and arrange your address electrodes vertically inside the dielectric layer."
The video concludes, "We also make meatballs."
The video might be a joke, but the reality may be serious business: Will you become an assembly pro?
