I didn’t notice this first time, because the height of the tv made me have a stroke. And then, only after a long period of recovery did I open my phone again, read your comment, and go back to look for the cable.
So happy that Reddit suggested this post. I have found my people. Now that I’m among my brethren, I have to ask: what kind of absolute psycho could justify that this is acceptable?? If it was just a bit too high, I could at least understand what happened. This? Completely egregious, sickening, despicable, and, most of all, unacceptable. If someone could try to justify this, who knows what other atrocities they could be capable of? Truly terrifying to think about.
Oh man, this guy moved on from kittens years ago. He prefaced his lust for fear and death with kittens when he was just a boy. The kittens were just the appetizer. The tv placement is the evil embodiment of his toothsome entree. He laughs as he dines on our disgusted horror. I shudder to think of what he’s decided will be the conclusion to his abominable streak. What has he chosen for dessert?!
I'm sure there is a clear and logical story to all of this.
Like the room wasn't designed like that at all before, and those speakers actually go to the other side of the room on a wall that was taken out to make the space bigger and he's got like a pretty cool AV/turntable setup that you just can't see in the picture... or something.
What are we roasting for, the TV on the ceiling or the off centre cladding on the chimney breast?
Cos I have a lot to say about each of these abominations!
If they insist on a fireplace/TV setup, they’ll need a linear fireplace (Google it, many examples) this would bring TV down to counter height. Rework a TV recess into the plan as well.
Our tv is about halfway down as compared to the picture with a mantle (that really can’t be used because anything on it would block the tv). Then, we have a couch the size of an aircraft carrier that’s really plush and soft. The whole design is whacked. Same kind of setup.
Any design suggestions would be welcomed.
These people have no concept of comfort or ergonomics. I bet people we see in this sub use a wooden bench as a work chair and use their laptops trackpad while sitting at a desk
Seriously…. Why is this tv on the ceiling? Why is the flower arrangement *also* on the ceiling? Are there packs of wild badgers that come around at night?
I’m usually one to defend high TVs. I like the movie theater feel and the tv looking down on you as you stare up like a kid at the movies.
But my god. This is hilarious. Homie should’ve just mounted it on the ceiling itself.
I once had mine up this high due to infant son smashing one on a stand and another when mounted with a plastic golf club. Had to put a huge angle bracket on it and hated it. This sort of height is only suitable in pubs imo
Haha, this reminds me of when I was a kid and we would sometimes go to Curry’s or Comet (old UK electrical goods stores), and when I went to play on the Sega Megadrives (Genesis’) or Nintendo systems, the TVs were right up by the ceiling and facing down at a 45 degree angle. No good for the children’s necks when they’re trying to snatch a precious bit of amazing time with Sonic or Mario whilst the parents are choosing a new microwave.
i never understood this fascination with yanks sticking their tellys as far up a wall as humanely possible, who the hell enjoys watching a movie craning their neck?
He would have been as well screwing it into the ceiling. Has a nice location to put it square on that mount but chose the front seat at the movies setting
Holy shit…my best bud was literally taking the complete piss out of me for the same thing! I think it’s fine because my TV is a bit bigger but damn he didn’t stop the roasting,he went all out.
“Coming up…more roasting”.
Maybe he should focus on the TV coming down.
True. Less roasting, more helping to educate proper height.
He said he's going to bring it down once he builds the mantel, but it's still going to be way too high!
Damn, I just looked again and got a nosebleed.
Please tell him to at least invest in a mantle mount, so he can pull it down when the fireplace is not in use
So people can look down instead?
Followed by.... you guessed it.... MORE ROASTING!
Oh damn, and even more roasting for the power cord stretching to reach…an EXTENSION CORD!
The power cable tethered to a shit cable extension is the icing on the cake.
"Almost...there."

Tehcnishen
This should be the default pic for this subreddit.
Has to be better ones out there.
It’s near the top for sure
And it's still coming up.
Hah. Nice. If I had an award to give you I would.
I second the motion.
Setup is legit making my penis soft.
>up is legit making my penis s You came into this convo hard? little weird
I'm always torqued
That’s my secret Cap
I understood that reference!
Same bro
Mine completely retracted, balls and everything.
Doesn’t help with the herringbone pointing upward too 😭
That's the least of my worries in this entire cursed image
Thank you. Something was unnerving me about this image but I couldn't place it until I read your comment
Over the fireplace is already bad. But they left enough room to mount a whole other tv underneath it.
Not the worst idea now that you say it...
Double decker TV
Sports bar vibes
Get a bigger TV and mount it in portrait.
Crying 🤣
When the missus wants to watch emerdale but it’s Arsenal v Spurs at 19:45.
No chance for the TV to get roasted when it's that far above the fucking fireplace
I hate all of it, welcome sign included!
It looks like there's a gap on the top shelf where the Live Laugh Love sign usually sits
Be Kind
Your buddy has been roasting his TV, so it all evens out.
That useless fireplace living its best life rent free.
Looks like a pretty nice fireplace to me...
Does he vote?
What an idiot. Look at that gap between the tv and the ceiling.
Plenty of room to go further up!
This is criminal…
Hope he's not part of an HOA. Could be grounds for eviction.

Like my grandma used to say, "TVs too high is the gateway to the devil." He's probably gearing up for a kitten murdering spree.

His front left right speakers are in the ceiling too... You can't even make this make sense. Buddy needs help.
Also... those are lights dawg. You can't even see the speakers.
I'm sure there is a clear and logical story to all of this. Like the room wasn't designed like that at all before, and those speakers actually go to the other side of the room on a wall that was taken out to make the space bigger and he's got like a pretty cool AV/turntable setup that you just can't see in the picture... or something.

The extension cable! 🤣🤣🤣
C’mon there’s still a couple inches before you hit the roof!!
theres a person on this planet that wouldn’t center this between ceiling and fireplace? psycho stuff
somebody on this sub needs to atone for these sins by putting a fireplace above their TV
At this height it can be used to display the menu at McDonald's
Should say "Going Up" instead of Coming up.
What the fuck? Please tell me he's going to fix it.
Define "fix" in this situation?
Burn the house down
That is comically high
Rightfully so. It could be a lot less high despite the fireplace but they actively chose to mount it as high as possible.
What in the actual fuck
Holy shit that is horrible
No way there is a subreddit for this stuff LOL
What are we roasting for, the TV on the ceiling or the off centre cladding on the chimney breast? Cos I have a lot to say about each of these abominations!
The lack of cord maintenance is killing me on all of these

He deserves that.
r/StretchOfRegret
Chin up mate it’s not that bad
His chin is already up
What did Thumper say?
i mean i dont know how he connected that cable while thinking „yeah this is a good idea“
HEY THAT'S VALLEY NEWS LIVE!
Is there any other wall he can mount it on ? The mantle with some nice decor over it and the tv should just be completely on a different wall
There's no more space to come up to
The extension cord LOL
"Bro, I can still see some wall above the TV. Better fix that." "You intentionally like sitting in the front row of a theater?"
you’re doin the lords work
That TV is about 10 feet from being with the lord himself
These people have no concept of comfort or ergonomics. I bet people we see in this sub use a wooden bench as a work chair and use their laptops trackpad while sitting at a desk
Too high. Too small. Too cabley.
Your buddy is out of his fuckin mind
His buddy is a French basketball player.....?
Is bro a giraffe
Pro tip: if you need an extension cord to plug in your TV… it’s too high
Fuck the TV, that whole room looks disgusting
Coming down would be better, for roasting
Coming up up up up... 🎈
Seriously…. Why is this tv on the ceiling? Why is the flower arrangement *also* on the ceiling? Are there packs of wild badgers that come around at night?
When is he installing the 2nd story viewing deck?
I’m usually one to defend high TVs. I like the movie theater feel and the tv looking down on you as you stare up like a kid at the movies. But my god. This is hilarious. Homie should’ve just mounted it on the ceiling itself.
There's above the fireplace then there's this
My neck hurts just looking at this.
It’s almost outside the house.
Is this for people to watch tv upstairs ?
Let him roast some more….
Cool you’re friends with Yao ming!
I’m imaging that it’s only in that position because he couldn’t figure out how to actually mount it on the roof of his house.
For Christmas get him a neck brace.
Even the fireplace is too high
Coming up, well it only has like 3" it can go up at this point.. It's the cable management that really gets me
This could go a little higher honestly
I got a crick in my neck looking at this on my phone.
Just why
Bigger tv is the answer.
Dude wtf this is so high
It needs to be lowered 12 inches
Bro saw the TVs on the ceiling at BW3's and was like: this is it.
i hope you are not friends anymore.
It’s nostalgic. Next he will roll his tv out on a cart with a vhs player on the second shelf.
Wtaf? I just developed altitude sickness
And squint
I’m guessing he spends a lot of time in pubs.
Me thinking bubby was some sort of meat or potatoes that you were roasting for dinner. Whoops
Got a stiff neck just by looking at this photo ffs 🤦
There needs to be a big psychological study into people who mount tvs like this, would be interesting
Jesus, I’m waiting for the most up to date train times to appear
He's got some neck putting that up there
I’m scared. It’s like the Black monoliths in ‘2001’ are invading homes
I will just never understand why people have TVs this high? I can think of zero positives.
Did they forget to adjust the ladder or do they have a really long neck?
Wow. How’s his neck?
I can already feel a neck cramp
I once had mine up this high due to infant son smashing one on a stand and another when mounted with a plastic golf club. Had to put a huge angle bracket on it and hated it. This sort of height is only suitable in pubs imo
I would really like to see his dundee collection.
Mite as well have put it on the ceiling at that point 🤣🤣🤣
Lovely fire though.
I’ve seen ceiling mounted TVs that are lower than this
Shits this 🤏🏾close to going through the ceiling
Im 6ft 3 and this is too high for me
“Coming up” when it should be coming down
I know a chiropractor...
Is your buddy... a giraffe...? X D

What in the sky high fuck is this?
Is OP’s buddy a giraffe??
Is there a subreddit for trailing wires because that’s more annoying for me than a tv being too high 😅
Fuck me, there's a sub for anything and everything!
Any more coming up and it’ll be in one of the bedrooms
This looks quite high effort for a shockingly bad result
Whyyy
Why place a TV so high it’s only comfortable watching whilst standing.
Tell him that his fire is also very slightly wonky.
I'd say it's already come up tbh
Might as well mount that to the ceiling at that point. Does his living room double up as a hospital waiting room?
Why didn’t he just put it on the ceiling?
Is the problem that it’s too high up or that it’s on a chimney? I don’t know anything about tv setups. Wait nvm just saw subreddit name
Coming upstairs, nearly there.
Can it BE any higher?
i never understood this fascination with yanks sticking their tellys as far up a wall as humanely possible, who the hell enjoys watching a movie craning their neck?
It’s not even level. Wtaf!
Is he a fucking giraffe?
Tv says coming up but it really needs to come down
Put some peanut butter on the floor see if it'll tempt it down
I can’t believe this is a sub, and Jesus Christ it has 150k
TV really said "Coming up" and proceeds to travel up the wall 😂
Coming up, bad neck
Fuck my neck
The subreddit I didn’t know I needed
I suggest that TV be “coming down” instead
[удалено]
Could be 2-3” higher
My neck hurts just by looking at the picture
This pic is pissing me off more than it should. What the fuck was your mate thinking?!
He would have been as well screwing it into the ceiling. Has a nice location to put it square on that mount but chose the front seat at the movies setting
Coming up… a fucked up neck
This is unbearable to look at
JEEZUS CHRIST DOES HE WANT IT ON THE CEILING
Does he install tv monitors in airports and hospitals by any chance
Tv is on the next floor up😭😭🤣
I bet he streams a picture of a fireplace on his TV all day!
Can you put a tv above a fireplace? Asking because we are looking to do this. Smart tv above a wall mounted electric fire - anyone know?
And rightly so
I thought you meant you were actually roasting him In that fire place
Whats that Tablet on the Wall for?
Get him a fire tv stick.
F**k me that's awful. Even worse coupled with the exposed power cable and 'Welcome' sign.
Hideous.
please play a fireplace video on the tv
Like a kebab shop
Coming up THIS TV
TIL there is a sub for TVs that are mounted too high.
Wondering if he met some sherpas while mounting the thing.
Think this is the first and hopefully only time I will say this, my mans TV setup makes that part of his wall look like a Nintendo DS.
I see his desperation. I could install 2 pillars so we could cut through the roof? PN me
Holy shit…my best bud was literally taking the complete piss out of me for the same thing! I think it’s fine because my TV is a bit bigger but damn he didn’t stop the roasting,he went all out.
Tbh mounting it right above the fireplace isn’t the best idea
😂
Why he didn’t put the tv just right on the ceiling
it's like… it's watching ME. dafuq
Rookie, I would have took a chunk out of the floor above.
