I had a vague recollection the other day of a comedy bit but not sure where I saw it.
The bit was basically two people sitting down at a table playing an overly simplified version of Chess or checkers. One person moved the piece and said “check” and the other moved it back and said “checkmate”.
I want to say it was either Mork and Mindy, 3rd Rock from the Sun, or Red Dwarf.
That sounds hilarious but I’m pretty sure it was an older show, likely over 20 years old, and with some kind of sci-fi aspect to it. Seems like they said the game was popular on another planet.
