** Said chair later officially becomes "Archie's chair" when he's at the Stivics' house. For exceptionally noted house guests (Sammy Davis Jr., for example) Archie insists that they sit in his chair and he takes Edith's, relegating her to the sofa. Archie's chair is now in the Smithsonian Institution. It was sent there after CBS ended the series the ''first'' time — the producers then had to re-create the chair when they decided to continue.

* The c-plot of the ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' episode 'The Deep End' has Stan and Gideon fighting over the best chair at the pool. To be fair, the chair has a lot going for it: it's equal distance from the rest rooms and snack bar, has just the right amount of sun and shade, and is also pointed ''away'' from where Old Man [=McGucket=] lotions himself.

-->Eustace: Nope. Not gettin' outta this chair.

* In ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'', Eustace always sits in his armchair and in a few cartoons would refuse to get off it and would get mad at anyone who tried to sit in it. His catch phrase eventually became the trope name, "This is my chair." To the point that in the episode "Klub Katz," Muriel suggests a vacation and Eustace refuses to get out of his chair. GilliganCut to Eustace on a cruise ship, still in the chair. After being [[UnwillingRoboticization turned into a crane-operated wrecking ball]] by Katz to fight for the latter's amusement, he discovers that Katz is sitting in his chair and promptly goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against him.

* Archie Bunker on ''AllInTheFamily''. So much that when Mike and Gloria moved out to the house next door and Archie came to visit, Mike had a CrowningMomentOfAwesome:

'''Martin:''' Really? Okay, I'll tell you what chair I want. I want the chair I was sitting in when I watched Neil Armstrong take his
first step on the moon. And when the U.S. hockey team beat the Russians in the '80 Olympics. I want the chair I was sitting in the night you called me to tell me I had a grandson. I want the chair I was in all those nights when your mother used to wake me up with a kiss after I'd fallen asleep in front of the television. You know, I still fall asleep in it. And every once in a while, when I wake up, I still expect your mother to be there, ready to lead me off to bed... Oh, never mind. It's only a chair.

* Martin's chair on ''Series/{{Frasier}}'' is perhaps an inversion, as no one else ''wants'' to sit in it.
** Averted for Cafe Nervosa however, as there are three or four tables the characters occupy at different times.

* Daniel, from ShinyObjectsVideos as seen in ''On The Couch''. Doubles as a RealLifeWritesThePlot, as the real-life Daniel is just as protective of that spot.

* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-11-07 Grace discovers she's sitting in Jeremy's spot.]]

--> '''Spock''': *''Irritated''* Out of the chair!

* Shawn Spencer in ''Series/{{Psych}}'' meets Jewels when she sits in his chair. At first she thinks he's one of those types who could only sit in a certain chair, [[SubvertedTrope but he actually had been sitting there and already had his stuff there]]. He decides to let her keep it and starts flirting with her.

* In ''WesternAnimationCourageTheCowardlyDog'', Eustace always sits in his armchair and in a few cartoons would refuse to get off it and would get mad at anyone who tried to sit in it. His catch phrase eventually became the trope name, "This is my chair." To the point that in the episode "Klub Katz," Muriel suggests a vacation and Eustace refuses to get out of his chair.

* Candidate for TropeNamer is Goines in ''TwelveMonkeys''.

* In ''TheKingsSpeech'' speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) disrespectfully sits on the Coronation Throne in order to provoke stuttering King George VI (Colin Firth) into an outburst of indignation.

* In ''[[WomenOfTheOtherworld Men of the Otherworld]]'', Clay always kicks Logan out of Jeremy's chair, since Clay feels that respecting the Alpha's chair is a symbol of respecting the Alpha's territory and Clay is Jeremy's [[TheDragon dragon]]. It's a longstanding issue between the two of them, to the point where Logan will vacate the chair as soon as Clay enters the room.

* ''TheRoyleFamily'': Jim always sits in the armchair opposite the TV, Denise and Dave on the sofa next to Barbara, and Anthony on a chair.

* One of the main jokes on ''KingswoodCountry''. Ted Bullpit does not allow ''anyone'' to sit in his armchair. "Outta the chair! Outta the chair!" nearly counts as a catchphrase for the show.

* {{Garfield}} often does it in his comic strip.
* Satchel in ''GetFuzzy'' gets unhappy when anyone uses his beanbag.

* In a rare video game example, {{Catherine}} has the four main guys going the same bar ([[MeaningfulName The Stray Sheep]]) every night and sitting at the same table. They even sit in the same spots at that table.

* In ''CourageTheCowardlyDog'', Eustace always sits in his armchair and in a few cartoons would refuse to get off it and would get mad at anyone who tried to sit in it. His catch phrase eventually became the trope name, "This is my chair."

* Also, ''CourageTheCowardlyDog''. Eustace always sits in his chair and in a few cartoons would refuse to get off it and would get mad at anyone who tried to sit in it. His catch phrase eventually became the trope name, "This is my chair."
