Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })When a matching pair of something, usually bath towels, are labeled 'His' and 'Hers' in order to signify a couple living together. Mostly a Discredited Trope these days, and is almost never played straight.
Parody can come either in the labeling of the objects (for example, "Its" instead of "His" or "Hers"), or in the object itself (say, a military family with His and Hers rifles).

On Batman (1966), both Batman and Robin have their own specially-labelled fireman's poles to descend to the Batcave. Yes, there is a lot of Homoerotic Subtext.
However, it's worth noting that they go down the poles as Bruce and Dick and enter the Batcave as Batman and Robin, so presumably they're individualised to assist the costume change on the way down.

In one episode of The Powerpuff Girls, Mojo Jojo has only one towel, labeled "Mine".
In another episode, the girls watch new neighbors move in, and hope the head of household is a single woman, so they can hook Professor Utonium up. They see a pink bathrobe and a blue bathrobe being moved into the house together, and mutter "married" in unison.

Girl Genius, with operating tables and handcuffs. Sort of justified in that all the people involved are mad scientists, so it's not quite as bizarre as it seems.

Apparently played straight in Superman, where Lois and Clark have a "His and Hers" towel rail. But only for contrast with Bizarro's bathroom, which has a rail labeled "YOUЯS".

In the Recess episode where Gus is introduced, everyone is just calling him "new kid". He feels so disturbed by this that he even sees his family's towels as "His", "Hers" and "New Kid's".

Played with on The Man Show in the episode where Adam and Jimmy visit Snoop Dogg's crib. While giving them the grand tour, Snoop shows them the bathroom. On a towel rack is one large towel marked "His" and several smaller towels labeled "Hos." This prompts a question from Jimmy, "How many 'hos' should a 'his' have?"

The Leonard Bernstein musical Wonderful Town has a song called "One Hundred Easy Ways" about all the things a woman can do to make a man lose interest in her. (Basically, by being smarter than him.) If you follow the steps you can "mark your towels hers and hers".

In The Parent Trap, Hallie-as-Annie complains to her mom about the twins (having been separated in a Solomon Divorce and didn't even know the other existed until they met by pure chance) being "his and hers kids", as if they were a set of matched towels: "That just sucks!" Mom agrees totally.

In Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, when the protagonists snoop around Mr. Krupp's house, they find out that he's so lonely that he only has one copy of everything, and the one exception are the towels: labeled "His" and "Also His".
