Cruise has created a number of daring expressions of his feelings for Holmes for the media, famously the "couch incident" which appeared in the famous talk show which was The Oprah Winfrey Show held on 23rd of May, 2005. In that case, Cruise moved round the set, jumped onto a sofa, fell ecstatically to a knee and continually expressed his love in front of his new girlfriend. This scene is an excellent one and became parodied in many times such as- Family Man on Television, Scary Movie Four and so on.

The "couch incident" got a vote in 2005" Shocking TV Show" in a countdown on The words "Jumping on the Couch," designed after the movie "jumping the shark," which is used to describe somebody "going off the depth end" in public places. The word is usually similar with a nervous breakdown typically accompanied with bizarre or unintentionally buffoonish behavior in the public.

It enjoyed a short-term recognition, and the editors from the Historical Dictionary about American Slang gave the remarkable contribution to select the word that became popular as the Slang word of the year 2005.

Parodies

• As noted, the scene has been parodied many instances, like:


• A YTMND recapping view seems that he kills Oprah by Sith lightning which comes from his hands.


• A mash up of James Frey's notorious 2006 physical appearance on Oprah and Cruise's visual appeal was introduced by Best Week Ever, in which Oprah appears to call Cruise a liar.

The 2006 movie Scary Movie also parodies Oprah scene.

Cruise is one of the creative people who work in every field of film line such as- director, writer as well as designer. He is a dynamic personality in Hollywood.
