The 'Cuck Chair' meme refers to a specific type of armchair often found in the corner of hotel rooms, which internet users jokingly identified as the designated seat for a person to sit and watch. The meme gained significant traction on Twitter and Reddit around 2020, as travelers began posting photos of lonely-looking chairs in their hotel rooms with humorous or self-deprecating captions. It taps into modern internet subcultures and the awkwardness of specific hotel room layouts, evolving from a niche joke into a widespread symbol of being a passive observer. Today, the template is used to represent anything that is forced to watch a situation or person from the sidelines while feeling ignored or redundant.
