A common scenario amongst married and other live-in couples. The two are in an argument. Argument escalates. One of them makes a stupid/incendiary remark that angers the other one, who then shouts "That's it! You're sleeping on the couch tonight!" So engrained is this trope in popular culture that even couples occupying homes clearly large enough to have space for a guest bedroom find themselves enduring an uncomfortable night crammed on the sofa in the living room. For some strange reason, it's usually the wife who's the exiler, and the husband the exilee. In this case, it's often implied that the real punishment is withholding sex, but since early TV couldn't be that explicit, sleeping on the couch became a visual cue for marital strife, which has persisted into the present day. In some cases, this can happen every night with couples who have given up on their marriage, and are on the route to breaking up but have not yet separated. In The City where rents are sky-high, couples may separate but still share an apartment, because they can't afford separate dwellings. A common trope in Dom Com shows, and a case of Truth in Television. (Another possible reason for exile involves snoring. Probably more common in real life, less common on-screen.) See Lysistrata Gambit when the punishment is explicitly about sex. Not to be confused with Sexiled, where your roommate's sexual escapades leave you temporarily homeless. Compare to There Is Only One Bed, where two characters who aren't in a relationship have to share a room but aren't comfortable sleeping together in one bed. Examples |

Commonly inflicted on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air by Aunt Vivian upon Uncle Phil. When Phil chooses his words poorly and says that he settled "for" Vivian instead of "with" her, she angrily stomps away while Phil runs after her to apologize. Will then turns to Geoffrey and tells him to "prepare Mr. Banks' couch". Later in the same episode, Will came home in the morning after "spending the night" with his girlfriend's mother/the woman Phil was courting before "settling" for Vivian (long story there, but she did kinda force him into it), and found Phil sleeping on a chaise in the back yard. Vivian had thought the couch was too good for him. At the end of the episode, Vivian says Phil can come back inside... to the couch. |

Billy Summers: Played with; after Alice enters his life, Billy and her have an argument that ends with Billy spending the night on the couch, but the whole point of the argument was that Billy insisted to sleep on the couch so Alice could have the only bed in the apartment to herself, to which she objected but ultimately gave in after losing a coin toss about it. She does however get Billy to swap sleeping spots the next night. | |

Cheers: An odd example, where the husband exiles himself. Norm would much rather sleep on the couch than in the same bed as his wife Vera. This is only a problem when Sam needs somewhere to stay for the night. Norm's initially willing to let him stay on their couch, until he accidentally wakes Vera. Norm then boots Sam off the couch and out of the house. | |

This often occurs on The Simpsons: Marge "offends" Homer, who declares "I refuse to sleep with someone who thinks I'm lazy! I'm going to go downstairs, get the blankets out of the closet, unfold the couch...Um, good night" and hops right into bed. Played straight in "Girls Just Want to Have Sums" where Marge attempts to name everything women have invented, only for Homer to point out that men have invented more things, and more important things. This leads to the page quote. Taken a step further later in the episode, where Homer is sent to the couch again, and tries to take solace in the fact that at least he'll always outrank the dog. Smash Cut to Homer, now in the doghouse (literally), and wondering how he ended up there. Averted in "Homer vs. Patty and Selma", where Homer is disappointed in his own actions, and ascends the stairs quietly, saying "I'll understand if you want to sleep on the couch tonight." It's unknown if she did. A straight example happens in "Tis the Fifteenth Season", when Homer is exiled to the couch for squandering the family's Christmas gift money on something for himself. Also parodied "Luca$", when Homer is outraged that Marge is secretly ashamed of her marriage to a fat idiot and says he's going to sleep on Flanders' couch, because he thinks theirs is crap. In "Heartbreak Hotel", when Marge discovers that it's Homer's fault they got kicked off a reality show, he offers to sleep on the couch as punishment. Unfortunately, because they're staying in a hotel room, the couch is just inches from the bed. Parodied in the Couch Gag for "Three Dreams Denied", in which the couch is angry that the Simpsons arrived late for the special dinner she made and tells them to sleep on the bed. "My Big Fat Geek Wedding" begins with Marge deciding to sleep on the couch after finding out that Homer has decided to make his own AAA batteries by whittling D batteries. |

In Marmaduke, after the eponymous dog causes a lot of mayhem in the house, his owner locks him out in the rain for the night and blames all of his (Phil's) troubles on him. His wife retorts that Marmaduke was a dog and thus doesn't know any better. After more heated words, his wife basically says "Marmaduke may have a backyard, but YOU have a sofa." Thus banishing him to the sofa for the night. | |

NCIS: Los Angeles: Deeks had to sleep on the couch in the NCIS Los Angeles headquarters due to his own house undergoing what is implied to be a strong pest infestation, which also resulted in him failing to pick up Kensi from the airport when she returned from Hawaii. He later has to keep company with Kensi until midnight after the infestation clearing at his house was delayed, to which she agrees, if he meets certain conditions, such as him driving and him paying, and having him do her laundry for a month (later specifying that it's outerwear when realizing that he might go for the underwear as well.) Callen spent some time on the same couch when he didn't feel like finding a new place. Hetty eventually makes him buy a house. |

Played with on Medium. Dad starts sleeping on the couch and the middle daughter tells her younger sister their parents are going to get divorced "because that's what happened to [her friend's] dad and then he took her to Disney World!" Actually, it was just an experiment to see if mom's habit of waking up from horrific psychic dreams in the wee hours of the morning was cutting into dad's sleep (it wasn't, surprisingly enough). | |

In the Harry Potter fanfic This Means War, Ron gets cut off when Hermione finds out that he let his brothers know about them having sex. It actually made sense in context (they needed a virgin girl to get a unicorn, and Ron had to explain why Hermione wasn't an option), but she still wasn't happy about it. And then Hermione tells all the other girlfriends that the brothers are interfering in Ginny's relationship with Harry, and all six boys end up cut off. | |

Elementary: In "Dirty Laundry" the police visit the home of a murdered woman, Mrs. Terri Purcell, where Sherlock Holmes notices that the cushions of the living room sofa are worn down in a way that indicates someone has been sleeping on them frequently. The woman's husband Oliver tries to claim that he started sleeping on the sofa because of insomnia, but Holmes points out that he also moved his toiletries to the guest bathroom which doesn't track with the "insomnia" excuse. Oliver then admits that he and Terri had fallen out but he still isn't the one who killed her. | |

Post-High School Reality Quest has a platonic example. Alice is mad at Buffy because she mistakenly thinks she had sex with Jeremy, the guy Alice likes. Late at night Buffy hears Alice crying and asks what's wrong, but Alice gets so mad at her that she moves out of the dorm room and sleeps uncomfortably in a loveseat in the lobby. At 3 AM, Aquitane stumbles into the lobby, having been exiled by Alice as well. | |

In Barefoot in the Park, when Corie is on the verge of divorcing Paul, she shuts herself in the bedroom and throws out a pillow, blanket and sheet so Paul can go to sleep on the sofa. He tries to... and then snow starts falling through the broken skylight on his head, leaving him with a cold the next day. | |

The Dick Van Dyke Show: In "Don't Trip Over That Mountain!", Rob and Laura disagree about a skiing trip that Rob and Jerry have planned, because Laura's worried that he'll break something. When Rob hurts himself, he vows to keep it from her, lest she hold it over him. After Rob picks a fight on returning home, Laura throws his pajamas and a blanket at him. She almost throws a pillow as well, but she sees Rob's bandages just in time. Played with in the episode "Give Me Your Walls". Rob and Laura are annoyed by a painter who has been working on their living room for a long time. Rob swears that he will tell him to get out of their house soon, and if he doesn't, he himself vows to sleep on the couch. Laura walks right up to him and says that he had better get out. (Oddly, Rob and Laura are always seen in separate beds.) |

The X-Files: Averted for Fox Mulder, who sleeps on the couch all the time, despite having no wife or significant other to exile him. It's a Fanon running gag that he doesn't have a bedroom. It was lampshaded several times, mostly by characters impersonating Mulder. In "Small Potatoes": And in "Dreamland", in which Morris Fletcher goes so far as to clear out Mulder's bedroom (filled with cardboard boxes and piles of paper), buy a bed, and put mirrors on the ceiling above it. Given that nobody remembers Fletcher's purchases (it should have disappeared as other stuff caused by the time anomaly, but didn't), it comes as quite a surprise to Scully that Mulder is no longer sleeping on his couch. In "Monday": It's implied in the reboot that Mulder has once again exiled himself to the couch now that Scully has moved out. |

Better Call Saul: In "Something Beautiful," Jimmy notices a valuable Hummel figurine in Mr. Neff's office and enlists a burglar, Ira, to break in and steal it. Unfortunately, on the night of the burglary, Mr. Neff has gotten kicked out of the house by his wife and is spending the night in his office because he did the tasteless decision of trying to buy her a vacuum cleaner as a gift. Poor Ira's left trapped under Mr. Neff's desk until he's able to call Jimmy to show up and provide a distraction for him to escape. In "Coushatta," as part of his scam with Kim to pressure the ADA into agreeing to a lenient plea deal for Huell, Jimmy and his camera crew set up a series of drop phones in the back of the nail salon. While he's setting up, Ms. Nguyen thinks Jimmy's been kicked out by Kim, pours him a glass of alcohol and urges him to take her out to a nice restaurant to make up with her. Jimmy dejectedly replies that he thinks they might be "past that." |

Referenced in Cheap Thrills when Elizabeth finds her son Jeordie's pot stash. She tries to make her husband have a talk with their son about responsible drug use (given that they themselves smoke pot, but are responsible about its usage) and threatens him with the couch if he doesn't (as he objects that it would be hypocritical); this backfires, however, as Mirza notes that the couch is really comfortable, so she threatens to take the couch herself and make him grow an Afro instead. However, how serious any of these threats were is questionable, as the couple enjoys having silly not-really-fights. In the end, Mirza does speak to his son about using pot responsibly, but claims he is going to flush the stash. Of course, instead he and his wife end up smoking it. | |

A variation occurred in the episode of The Proud Family regarding BB and CC's baptism. After both Trudy and Oscar's respective families left due to disagreements, Trudy exiles him to the tent (the family was forced to sleep in a tent due to Oscar inviting his family over so he'd have backup against Trudy's family, and thus occupying all the bedrooms and possibly all of the sleeping areas, period). It gets worse in that, when Trudy sarcastically hopes that there is no rain that night, it was raining, and Oscar also ends up being a victim to a skunk attack. | |

Angry at him, even though it was a one-night-stand for him, and overwhelmed by her low self-esteem issues Emp then asks him "Was she better in bed than me too?" Realizing it's a trap, Thugboy gives her a "Oh no, you're way better than her" answer... only for her to translate his answer into an insult. Thugboy spends the rest of the volume exiled to the sofa. When Thugboy has lunch with a former fellow thug, he tells his friend "At least you tried to kill me. This is worse." | |

A Season 2 episode of Cobra Kai begins with Daniel waking up on the couch in his living room. The previous episode ended with him arguing with his wife Amanda when she complained that he'd been neglecting her over his zeal for the Miyagi-Do. His mom is staying in the house and asks him about it; he claims he's sick and is sleeping on the couch to avoid getting his wife sick. His mom suggests that he "get better" soon. | |
