** This is referenced in an episode of ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'', where Lisa and Will are given foam bats as part of their pre-marital counseling. George and Louise are there for counseling themselves. Sure enough, the two couples eventually engage in an all-out brawl when each person gets offended by another's snide comment about their partner. Bizarrely enough, the counselor's tactics work--whatever bickering both couples were engaging in, it's put aside to join forces against a common enemy.
