People keep asking me for free chairs!!!

Send him a stool instead of a chair as a joke.

Or maybe just a stool sample to begin with, before sending a full sized stool...

Please send him one of these (Miniature office chair),

Seriously, i just looked these chairs up because i was expecting so much effort to be put in for chairs that cost like £1000 (and yes they do exist) but about £250-£300? Surely he could have put the same effort into saving up and buy one himself after a few months? It's basically the price of a console!

It's quite possible he's already spent more time, effort and money on this than the actual cost of buying a chair at retail price.

Personally I think ocuk should just give him a chair. He deserves it for all the effort.

Devils advocate, this is a genius marketing ploy by @fiveub to get people talking about noble chairs, and the free chair saga. It's an inside job!

If I am right I expect a free bag of haribo. Cheers!

I would not recommend that...

If they gave him a free chair for doing this then he just try doing the same thing over an over for all the other things he wants

This is a good point, but it is not what is keeping @fiveub up at night........

'If he is doing all this for a ~£300 chair ........ what is he going to do for an ocuk pc rig?' :eek:

Send him a free stand-up desk instead, that will teach him.

I say call their bluff, offer them a free chair if they raise x amount for an approved charity or local cause.

I'd never have the gall to just ask for freebies, even insignificant ones so find this culture a little odd but appreciate the effort involved.

You see somebody like this with clear skills making videos and songs in order to get a freebie, I dont mind. Well done to them for the effort if they get a freebie.

Now all these instagram "stars" with 50,000 followers sending emails to hotels saying "give me and my bf a free night and slap up meal and I will give you a good write up to my 50,000 followers" need to go away and die. I have a wedding photographer friend who got an email from one of these "celebs" who suggested he should shoot her wedding, supply 150 edited photos and also give her 25% off vouchers for her "fans" all for free.

He should offer to do it and take all her wedding photo's showing only a single one of them in every photo...

We have an update @fiveub , that has to be worth a free chair

Greebo · 12 Feb 2020 at 15:56

Love it!

robfosters · 12 Feb 2020 at 16:02

Must admit, I was tapping along to that. Brilliant stuff.

FoxEye · 12 Feb 2020 at 16:04

This is some "viral" ad campaign isn't it.

YouTube vids and printed T-shirts...would be cheaper just to buy the chair if he was just some random.

Blatantly an ad campaign.

Swifty55 · 12 Feb 2020 at 16:04

You need to give this guy a chair but doing it live on twitch and deliver it yourself!!!

It's worked - I just looked at some chairs

You cannot give this guy a chair, because then he's got no reason to keep making these songs. He's hoist by his own petard.
