A GUY who criticized his sister’s “tacky decor” has compared it to a bad home goods store.
Three items, in particular, came under his reproachful eye, and he was not impressed.
But his ironic delivery was lost on many viewers, who considered his appraisal unfair and disrespectful.
In the comments section of his post, he faced his own roasting and an onslaught of critics who wanted to forcefully share their views.
Alex Van Gurp (@alex.vangurp) has over 36,000 followers and another 455,000 likes.
In this video, he filmed himself at his sister’s home, reclining on the stairs, as he posed a question to his followers: “Would you have these things in your house?”
He then continued, focusing his attention on three household accessories: “There are tacky things in my sister’s house, that make no sense,” he said.
In his consideration, it wasn’t giving good vibes: “It’s giving bad Home Goods,” he shuddered.
First was an innocuous placemat with a jaunty nautical theme that said: “Life is better at the beach.”
“How do you not make fun of that? It’s right in front of you,” he said.

Then came a sign that read: “Our Family,” mounted on the wall dedicated to her moms, dad, brothers, and sisters.
“Our family,” he said dripping with sarcasm.
Lastly, it was a utensil pot in the kitchen that was labeled: “Home sweet home.”
In another post, Alex acknowledged the flack he attracted after his video went up.
“You guys tore me apart,” he said. But he was at pains to explain that all was good between him and his sister.
“For real it’s all in good fun. Me and my sister are very close and I make fun of her house every single time I go.”
An example of the criticism he faced included this comment: “You forgot to include the judgemental sanctimonious brother.”
But there were those who also completely got his irony: “Yes, the signs that say kitchen, laundry, pantry. Lol. Live. Laugh. Love. No,” said this commenter.
The final remark reckoned he was hilarious: “I think it’s as funny as hell,” they said.
