* On the ''[[Gilmore Girls]]'', Rory is annoyed that every time she bumps into her ex-boyfriend whose in town, she's the one who hurried off awkwardly. After all, she announces, this is ''her'' town. The next time she bumps into said ex?

* In an episode of ''[[Family Matters]]'', Eddie dates the daughter of the owner of a chain of restaurants, a franchise of which he happens to work with. When he finds out, in Eddie's house, he immediately fires Eddie, and then has an argument with his daughter about her dating habits. Eddie tries to interject.

'''Owner:''' Oh. Right. }}

* Frequently played with on ''[[Stella]]'', so much so that an entire episode is devoted to this single joke.

* Happened in episode of [[Monk]]. An actor hired to play Monk in a movie lost his mind and became convinced that he ''was'' Monk, leading to a scene where he asked Monk to leave, despite the fact that it was Monk's house. Monk complied.

* In one Episode of [[NCIS]] Abby, when visiting Ducky's lab, at one point tells Ducky and Gibbs to get out of her lab so she can process evidence, only to realize three seconds late that she's not in her lab.

* In the ''[[House MD]]'' episode "House Divided", Dr. Wilson leaves the wild bachelor party that House is throwing for Dr. Chase and attempts to walk home. He's too drunk to remember that the party is being held ''at his home.''

 

* Used in a classic ''[[Peanuts]]'' strip. Violet throws Charlie Brown out of the house, tossing his coat and hat out afterward, telling him she doesn't want him there anymore. He starts to leave, then develops a look of dawning comprehension, goes back to the door, and rings the doorbell. When she answers the door and snottily asks him what he wants, he says, "This is MY house!"

** Also a variation after Lucy breaks off her (non-existent and imaginary) relationship with Schroeder:

'''Lucy:''' That didn't even make sense! }}

 

* In the 82nd episode of ''Bonus Stage'', Joel and Phil get in a heated fight, ending with Joel demanding that Phil get out of his house. Cut to the door slamming in Joel's face and Joel remembering that Phil owns the house. "Oh, right."

* Inverted in an episode of ''[[I'm a Marvel And I'm a DC|I'm a Marvel And Im ADC]]''; rather than leaving his own house in an argument...

'''Iron Man:''' Oh, like you care. I'm [[I Need a Freaking Drink|drowning my sorrows in alcohol]]. What does it look like I'm doing?<br />

'''Batman:''' No, I mean what are you doing ''in my house''? }}

** After [[The Ditz|Ralph Wiggum]] delivers Lisa's homework when she's sick, he asks if this is his house.

** Another Simpsons example during the Mr. Sparkle episode, after learning why Homer's face is on the box:

'''Homer''': That was fast. }}

*** And from the same episode, when the family plus Reverend Lovejoy go to a gas station to try to find information on the missing Ned Flanders:

** The episode "There's No Disgrace Like Home" had a variation on this trope. Homer believes (rightly) that the family is embarrassingly dysfunctional, and Marge believes they're no worse than any other family. To settle the argument, Homer takes the family to go spy on the neighbors. After nearly getting killed by a man with a shotgun, they peek into yet another house.

'''Marge''': That's our house. }}

** [[Crowning Moment of Funny|"WE HAVE A KITCHEN???"]]

** Another variation had Moe telling Lisa to go home in "Lisa The Skeptic".

'''Moe:''' Good, stay there. }}

* [[Played for Laughs]] like everything else in ''[[Animaniacs]]''
