A Sub-Trope of Cool Chair, swivel chairs are amusing pieces of furniture because they have wheels and can spin.note Fun Fact: The swivel chair (without wheels) was invented by Thomas Jefferson. Boredom and these can lead to endless possibilities. Could include either someone spinning in a chair out of boredom or restlessness, rolling around in it in favor of just getting up, rigging them with explosives to fight bad guys with, or riding them like makeshift chariots. This is often an integral part of Office Sports; also compare Wheelchair Antics. |

Early in Angel, the title character defenestrates a corporate executive on swivel chair through a glass wall. Only the chair hits the ground, the executive having combusted on exposure to direct sunlight. | |

The Simpsons: In "Ice Cream Of Margie With The Light Blue Hair", we find Homer, Lenny, and Carl playing office chair hockey at the plant; Mr. Burns comes in and chastises them for goofing off...but then we see him complaining that they're not practicing their chair hockey moves hard enough. In "Bart On The Road", Lisa, who's spending the day at the nuclear plant with Homer, decides to liven things up by spinning in swivel chairs wearing hazmat suits. Homer replies that, "This is a lot more fun with a second person." In "Homer's Enemy", Bart combines a swivel chair and a fire extinguisher for some real fun. The beginning of the same episode has Homer spinning in his chair saying, "Chair goes round... Chair goes round..." In "D'oh-in' in the Wind", Homer accidentally harvests the "special" garden (the one with the camouflage netting) at a local "organic" juice farm. So that morning's shipment is nothing but carrots and peyote. Cue, among other things, Officer Lou trying to turn his office chair into a helicopter. |

One clip often used in the opening sequence of MythBusters features Jamie Hyneman having two dogs pull him forward on a rolling chair. The version of the clip used in the actual episode ("Dog Myths") shows him getting pulled off the chair when the wheel catches on the transition to the next room. | |

One episode of Full House has Jesse, shocked and annoyed to have lost a series of competitions to Joey, engaging in spinning around repeatedly in a swivel chair in order to beat him at something (which the latter refused to do, calling it childish and pathetic.) The former ended up "winning", but immediately fell down the second he tried to stand. | |

Dilbert: Someone stands on a swivel chair to hang up a "Ten days without an accident!" poster. The chair slips, and he falls and injures himself. Dilbert comments on the irony, and the guy who fell replies, "No, it was ironic when this happened 11 days ago." In the followup comic, the company makes Swivel Chair Safety Training mandatory. At the training, the demonstrator spins wildly while doing a headstand on his chair. The pointy-haired boss can't tell if that's a "do" or a "don't". In another strip, a manager (Not the Pointy-Haired Boss) decides to pick someone for a task by spinning around in his chair like a roulette, and asks to be spun. Alice sends him down a flight of stairs, killing him, and causing the forces of darkness to possess his body. |

Discworld-set fic The Price of Flight has the Ankh-Morpork City Air Watch playing darts in their unique way. the dartboard itself is magically enchanted so that it moves on the wall in a random and unpredictable way. The Air Witches compound the difficulty by sitting in a moving swivel chair - so that the pilot is throwing her darts from a moving platform at a moving target. This is defended on the grounds that it improves aim and targetting and simulates actual air combat. Sam Vimes suspects it's because the Air Watch pilots are, to a woman, crazy. And the Swommi pilot who devised this is craziest of all. | |

Stargate SG-1 occasionally features Jack goofing around with his chair when he should be paying attention to either Sam or Daniel. Serves a purpose in "200". During a "flashback" in which Jack is rendered invisible, the unoccupied chair in Carter's lab appears to spin on its own, signaling where Jack is. As opposed to a chair that isn't moving, which Carter evidently constantly failed to realize was a sign that Jack had ditched her. |

Sparks from Sealab 2021 is always seated in a rolling chair, because the footage from Sealab 2020 always had Sparks seated. Despite trying to claim disability in one episode, he really can stand, he's just lazy. Maybe. The show flip-flops on this. | |

Zomboy: While he and Evil-O are visiting Imre's home, Bob discovers that Imre has a swivel chair in his bedroom. The two then spend a good amount of time spinning it and launching themselves across Imre's room, before a finale wherein they both sit in the chair and launch themselves across the hallway. | |

A muted example in Changes from The Dresden Files. When arriving home Harry finds his erstwhile allies Susan and Martin cocooned to the walls and ceiling, and his chair spins around as Harry's Fairy Godmother Lea reveals herself to greet Harry with his cat in her lap, in the exact same manner as a Bond villain. While Harry thought this was an appropriate greeting (beside the awkwardness of having to explain everyone present were nominally friends), he privately thought this was an especially impressive greeting, since the chair had no mechanism for spinning, but details like that never stopped Lea from making a strong impression. | |
