jump the couch exhibit frenzied or aberrant behaviour that makes it appear as though one is completely out of control or even insane

Creator:
Language pair:English
Definition / notes:This just-so phrase was inspired both by the famous verb phrase jump the shark and by Tom Cruise's infamous and eyebrow-raising couch-jumping antics on the May 23, 2005 Oprah Winfrey show.

e.g. My new boyfriend Benny seemed totally normal until he jumped the couch and started rubbing spicy brown mustard on his body at my family reunion.
