This is among the most unusual things I’ve run across lately. Today I learned, that in 2009, somebody made a low-budget, melodramatic/comedic web series called “IKEA Heights” which was filmed, clandestinely, in the Burbank IKEA.
Well, almost clandestinely. Several episodes include store employees stopping the production because they don’t have permission to be filming. (From the Wikipedia article, it seems the company is amused by the series, but doesn’t want others to do the same.)
The series starts off as something soap opera-ish, but goes progressively off the rails before very long. The official(?) site seems to be down (it’s been 16 years after all), but the episodes are still on YouTube.
