TV or movie *scene* with crazy "password" game?

Do NOT say "Password" game show. I mean a scene in a drama where the characters are playing the game in their home.

I can't recall the TV show or movie scene where there are couples playing a "password" type game, where one gives clues to the other to guess the correct word. There was one sort of weird couple in which she was giving the wrong clue, but he was guessing the right answer first time, ecru time, and the rest of the people are like "what?", "that's not..."!

I remember that one set was that she gave the clue "capital of China", and he gave the correct answer she was trying to get him to say, "Hong Kong". It was hilarious in that you couldn't tell if she just knew how his warped mind worked and figured out how to Getty him to say the actual answer he needed to say, or if they were both screwed up in the exact same way and it just worked for them.

I actually once did sort of the same thing with a cousin of mine, exactly that type of game, I looked into his eyes and gave him the first word of a movie title, "Navy...", and he immediately shouted out the correct other word of the title (I just needed the second word by itself), "...Seals". No way either of our female partners would have gotten that. His female partner, his wife, was not happy that he answered the other team's (mine) "password" for us. :)

    Not sure if this is the same one you're thinking of, but they did the same thing on "The New Adventures of Old Christine", where Richard and new Christine were playing. Richard was giving wacky clues and new Christine was getting all the correct answers anyway.

    I easily have one of those enormous quantity of admired scenes to videos so i could not checklist all of them, yet possibly my admired ending scene to a recreation is the top credit to the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time.
