Anyone who has put together a piece of Ikea furniture (read: everyone) knows that it's one of the most impossibly infuriating things you'll ever do. In a segment on his late-night show, Conan O'Brien shared a line from a 2011 article in The New Yorker, which states that "one in 10 Europeans are conceived in an Ikea bed." From this statement, a hilarious spoof was born (pun intended) outlining how to "assemble" one of these Ikea babies, better know as a "Nubjorn Bäbey" — spoiler alert: it obviously involves a custom Ikea allen key.
