It’s not as uncommon as sitcoms make it seem. My wife–brilliant, hilarious, way smarter and better at things than I am–would probably think it was hilarious, too. It wouldn’t work for our situation (we got together too early in life for it to be believable), but I wouldn’t expect any backlash.
Actually it went really well. The wife thought it was hilarious, according to the husband.

I would expect payback in-kind, though.
