There is something Dali-esque about Junk Food. Not least because it features a large, red sofa, reminiscent of Dali's famous lips-shaped two-seater. And, like those lips, this sofa is both seductive and kind of frightening. The sofa is the star of the show – and rarely can even a furniture warehouse telly advert claim that.

A guy stops off at a neighbourhood wasteland to dump an old TV. It's littered with odds and sods; an old mannequin, a mattress. And that sofa. The sofa starts waggling its arms. The mannequin comes alive. And the man is strung up by a length of cable. It seems the sofa is hungry.

There's little else to say about Junk Food, except it's a neat idea and fairly well executed. And, for something as short as it is, it's as unassuming and entertaining as you could possibly wish for.

It's available to watch on Daily Motion
