Look at Mr big shot with his box, just use 2 milk crates you stole from the shops.
Ooh look at Mr Moneybags with his two crates. Us poors are over here with our plebian cardboard we pulled from a dumpster while you're living it up with your latticed plastic.
Oooh, look at Mr Fancy over here, i just sat on the floor to fix the problem
Oooh lookie here at Mr "I have a floor because I don't live in a hole". Must be nice with all that foundation to flaunt.
silence from the poor Souls that do not have Internet to contribute to this hilarious Jab and find Joy by watching Grass grow
Oh la di da, look at this captain of industry with his "grass" and his "joy". Some of us get by on momentary distraction by a passing cloud.

Yep. Raise the TV to eye level. Then there are no remaining problems with this setup.

TV too low
Couple of beercases would fix that!
Or a dirt pile
Some cobblestones from the nearby cobblestone street?
Yep. That must be really uncomfortable.

The TV should be a bit higher so it's easier to view while laying back in the seat. Go find a construction site and snag yourself an empty cable spool to use as a table.
I was going to say the box that the TV came in but whatever works
That's too thin and wouldn't raise it high enough.
Put it upright and balance your brand new tv precariously on a thin piece of cardboard.

No, absolutely not. This is horrible beyond measures. Who made this? Satan?
The TV surely needs some refrigerator-box it could stand on, it's way too low. Barbarians...
Only problem is that the TV is too low, needs to be on a cardboard box
The beers are getting warm
Drink faster
There are 7 cans on the floor, not counting the open one. A .5l can of beer warms by 10..15 degrees in about half an hour. If the tempo is set to 15 minutes a can, by the middle of the stack you'll get 3..4 cans of piss warm beer.
So realistically to get all of them chill, you need to do at the pace of 5..7 minutes a can. Can be done of you're into turning your evening into a sporting event.
The TV is ugly low, that's right.

Anyone can see that the tv needs a milk carton under it
My lesbian mom lived like that for years after her separation
The TV is too low
Other than that, go nuts lol
EDIT: Oh, damn! We all said the same thing about the TV. Like Jerry Smith in the Jerry Daycare episode. I am become dad, destroyer of factory settings lol

What's with the fancy-pants la-de-dah white cushion? Is the chairs own cushioning not good enough?
That's a pillow. This is probably also his bed.
Yeah, it looks like a bed pillow with no pillow case, it gets a pass.

TV too high
I bought into the lifestyle creep at some point, and became convinced that my house had to be filled with house things. Let me tell you, it's no more cozier than what's pictured in the meme.
lol both sides are wack imo

Flip everything towards the fireplace and put the tv on the mantle then BOOM!...redecorated.
Then the tv will be too high
Not if you're laying back on the chair

It's the simple things in life.
Order a TV wall mount you savage.
Then put the TV on top of it. Raises it up about 4 inches. Perfect.
For now, that mantle would be a better place for that tv, assuming it can be safely placed there.
Otherwise, a box or lawn chair would be a good base for the TV.
Drink beers to construct tv stand over time. It’s motivation, sense of accomplishment, and being goal oriented.
And be sloppy with it, let it dribble. A tacky stack is a happy stack

makes cleaning so easy....lol, we don't clean
while at a first glance you may conjecture that nothing is particularly out of the ordinary, the glow of the cherenkov radiation seen behind the television is a telltale sign of this apartment being flooded with water. the beer cans lack any meaningful thickness of insulation, and making the assumption that the water is of adequate temperature for the habitation of warm blooded creatures, the beer will thus warm rapidly.
They see financial responsibility and decry it as poor taste. Even the beer looks cheap, this is what a responsible man looks like.
Needs a cooler for the beer.
