They're possible, yes. Context would determine whether they mean what you want them to.

How about "Get out of bed, chair, couch"?

'Get out of bed' is okay (as an imperative).

For 'chair', you need either:
1) a definite article - Get out of the chair.
2) a possessive pronoun - Get out of my/his/her chair.
3) a demonstrative pronoun - Get out of that/this chair.

Others may disagree, but I don't think 'get out' works with 'the couch' except for a few very unlikely contexts. I suppose I could tell my cat to 'get out of the couch' if it had somehow burrowed down inside the cushions or framework.

You'll most likely need to use 'get off' with 'the couch'.

tufguy, note the difference between 'ask' (request) and 'tell' (command):

Dog! Get off the couch!

Felicity, honey, please get off your granny's chair.

I have never heard/used "out of" for a chair., "off" is my preference.

'out of' works for a comfy armchair.
