couch potatoes
Sedentary screen watchers
Couch potatoes is the plural of couch potato—a person who spends excessive time sitting or lying on the couch, typically watching television.
The term suggests laziness and a sedentary lifestyle: We turned into couch potatoes over the holiday break.
The image combines the inertness of a potato with the couch as its natural habitat.
