I Blame Dan Brown
American Gothic. The Mona Lisa. Whistler's Mother. There are certain paintings that have been parodied so often it's rare we see the original any more.
Perhaps the most overused image is The Last Supper. Whenever a TV show with a large cast wants to do a group photo, it's the first thing they think of.
It always makes me think--why are they all crunched together? Don't these people know there are two sides to a table?

The movie version of MASH had a famous parody of The Last Supper.
Whenever I'm in a restaurant with several people and the logistix of the restaurant layout requires us to leave a whole side open, I think of it as "tv camera seating."
We did a shot like that for our HS drama club shot for the school paper in 1979. Our advisor told us it was "cliched" but that didn't stop him from sitting in the Christ position
