SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS — THIS IS IT FURNITURE

The “free onion” line (repeated at the end of every This Is It Furniture commercial) is reason enough to add this video. But the repeated, puzzling breaking of wood planks to emphasize the great deals is really hilarious. It makes it seem like the guy tore a showroom sedan chair to pieces while touting its values to a customer, then he continued to break it into further pieces when the cameras started rolling.

The awkward cut from when they first start breaking the wood is genius, and it makes it seem they’ll continue to break that wood even when the scene is over.
