Where does sofa king come from?

The phrase sofa king was used at least since 1999 by Santa Rosa, California-based punk band, Diesel Boy, in their album Sofa King Cool. The general public wasn’t exactly in agreement, though, as the album has faded into obscurity.

The term received more attention in the 2000s when it appeared in an internet prank egging on users to read the words I Am Sofa King We Todd Did aloud. A post on the message board Straight Dope was titled I’m sofa king stupid in 2000.

The term even passed federal regulations and made it on to the airwaves in SNL’s 2007 Sofa King Commercial skit, which centers on a business, Sofa King, run by an immigrant family who is unaware of what it sounds like when they said their couches are Sofa King great. (A UK retailer, Sofa King, had been getting away with this joke between 2001–12 with its tagline Our prices our Sofa King low!)

In 2013, a burger joint called Sofa King Juicy Burger in Chattanooga, Tennessee, proved so popular that it ran out of food on opening day. Despite criticism over the name by some members of the Chattanooga community, the owners justified it by noting the restaurant’s 45-foot long sofa. Sofa king sneaky!
