Cool Chair: Difference between revisions

* In ''The Stuntman'' movie, the director character has a hovering cool chair (suspended by a crane) he uses to pop in and out of scenes.

* The new ''[[Star Trek (film)|Star Trek]]'' film features an awesome captain's chair. 

* There's [http://www.jimunwin.com/extra/incrediblechairs/ an entire website] dedicated to the chairs of ''[[The Incredibles]]''.

* Xerxes's gigantic throne in ''[[300]]'', which is the size of a small house, is carried around by no fewer than 100 slaves, and is lavishly decorated with statues, ivory, and gold.

** There's a delicious source of [[Narm]] in ''[[Star Trek: Insurrection|Star Trek Insurrection]]'', where the [[Big Bad]]'s [[Cool Chair]] is a ''literal'' Couch Of Villainy. A big comfy red one. On a ultra-high-tech, stainless-steel Bridge. It ''really'' doesn't work, as seen [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20050818051109/memoryalpha/en/images/3/34/Sona_bridge.jpg here]. (Perhaps the problem is that he isn't doing a a [[Slouch of Villainy]] on it...)

* In the ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise|Star Trek Enterprise]]'' episode "Singularity", the crew become obsessed with trivial nonsense due to [[Space Madness]], and engineer Trip Tucker went all nuts trying to design the Ultimate Captain's Chair with interactive status displays, secondary helm control, inertial micro-dampers and cup holder (but apparently [[No Seat Belts]]).

* Referenced a few times in ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek the Next Generation]]''. One episode that stands out is where Worf has to play the role of captain to fool some 80-year-old Klingons fresh out of stasis that the Klingon Empire controls the Federation. After succeeding, Riker asks him how if felt being captain. Worf's response is thus: "Comfortable chair."

* On ''[[Friends]]'', Rachel buys a ''new'' armchair. It's really, ''really'' nice. So nice, in fact, that Joey deliberately breaks his leather Barcalounger in a desperate attempt to be allowed to sit in it. Twice (long story...). 

* The [[Inspirationally Disadvantaged]] Felix Renton from ''[[Kim Possible]]'' has a wheelchair with a hover system and retractable [[Combat Tentacles]]. It was built by his mother, a cybertechnology expert who moved into town to work at the space center with Kim's father. In his second appearance, the bad guys steal it, causing Shego to remark that [[Even Evil Has Standards]].

* [[Big Bad]] Megabyte in [[Re Boot]] had a hovering Cool Chair. Of course, sitting in it required him to ''take his legs off'' to attach himself to it. He often had one of his Mooks polishing his legs while using his chair.

* ''[[Transformers Animated]]''. [[Kibbles and Bits|Bulkhead's kibble.]]

** When Megatron was still in pieces, Professor Sumdac used ''Megatron's hand'' as a chair.

*** And after Megatron rebuilt himself and captured Professor Sumdac:

* In ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'', episode "Trials of the Demon", a demon lord who is banished to his own personal pocket dimensional prison turns out to have a giant stone throne covered in spikes in there. Keep in mind that he's the only being in the entire prison, so you have to imagine: at some point he had to have formed a throne himself from the rocks just because a demon lord's gotta have a throne.

* Jafar in ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'' has a throne that's basically [[Slouch of Villainy|a couch]] with a giant carving of a cobra's head above it and more cobras for the legs. He also [[Go-Go Enslavement|chains Princess Jasmine to it.]] Of course, the original throne of the sultan of Agrabah was pretty cool too, having an elephant carving.
