What do you call the device you use to change the TV channels?

[Sunlight Glisten 368]

Ive always heard "hey pass that thing under the couch" never heard it by any other name

[SparklingSwirls 21,261]

Just the remote or the TV remote. It’s been so long since I’ve used one though; haven’t watched a TV in over a year  

[The Kaeya Simp 13,966]

We call it the doot doot in my house

[碇 シンジン 27,427]

Stick, plank etc are rough translations 

[Tacodidra 59,796]

In Finnish, I'd always call it "kaukosäädin" (the formal name, I'm not really one for abbreviations). In English, I'd call it "remote control", or maybe "remote" in short. I'm not very familiar with the other names.

I just call it a remote, but some older family members will call it a clicker.

Zenith did develop an actual clicker remote control for some of their TVs. Neat!

The remote, because what else?

[TheRockARooster 47,305]

Well, I might start calling it the Channel Changer 5000. ^^

A remote. My dad calls it a clicker, and it's mildly annoying.

[Sunny Fox 5,929]

My finger. I use it to press buttons on my remote control.

[Fritzy 1,690]

Just the remote that’s it. 

[Brony Number 42 9,929]

My uncle had an old TV where the device was attached to a cord.

This. I'll call it a clicker to be funny from time to time.

This just made my day.

We just call it a remote, which now feels sorta insufficient.

[Patty Thundersnow 4,129]

Remote control or remote. I use them interchangeably. 

[daviddaviddavid 772]

"The remote", "The TV remote", like, I don't know what else I *would* call it.

[RaraLover 10,410]

We just call it a "remote". Nothing special, nothing fancy.

[Astralshy 23,569]

In my native language: Fernbedienung

in english I would call it remote
