comment
Whenever characters play "I Spy" or similar guessing games, it means two things:
Inevitably, they're really bored.
Frequently, they're in a Void Between the Worlds with only one thing in it, or otherwise in a place full of many instances of the same thing, making the game trivial.
If The Ditz is on board, expect whatever he's spying to start with a letter other than the one he says, much to the annoyance of everyone else.
Sister Trope to Car Ride Games. See also Hollywood Board Games, when board games are sometimes used for the same effect.

Dory attempts to play this with Marlin in Finding Nemo. He's... less than enthusiastic about it. Especially since he's the only thing around to "spy", as they're swimming through blankly open ocean. And, of course, Dory's short-term memory loss doesn't help anything.

Wallace & Gromit: Cheese Lover's Yearbook contains an extremely rainy caravan holiday, during which the duo spend all of one day playing I Spy...according to Gromit's typewritten notes, "R for rain featured regularly." (The next day is apparently even duller, since the entry for that day gives a precise count of the number of flowers on the caravan's wallpaper.)

SpongeBob SquarePants: In "Food Con Castaways", SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs all take a car ride to Food Con. SpongeBob and Patrick play I Spy, repeatedly exclaiming that they see Mr. Krabs, and not saying anything else.

In the Doctor Who story "Dragonfire", Mel and Ace play this when bored, in an ice cavern. The word of course is "ice". By the time the Doctor returns, Ace has spotted something beginning with 'M'. We don't find out what it is, but it's probably "more ice" (or possibly "Mel").

Cabin Pressure. The pilot and co-pilot have a lot of time on their hands, and one of the main draws of the series is all the travel games they play, ranging from I Spy to listing all the people named Brian they can think of - and yes, Mr. Blessed is one of the first they can think of. One episode has them flying to Limerick, Ireland, and trying to come up with as many limerick poems as possible.

Hancock's Half Hour:
"The Train Journey". Just one of the many ways in which Hancock and Sid try to alleviate the boredom, alienating their fellow passengers in the process.
This is also played with in "The Lift", in which Hancock and eight others are stuck in a lift overnight. After many people have fallen asleep, Hancock suddenly wakes everybody, to play charades. He is annoyed when his enemy guesses correctly every time; but later the lift attendant and Hancock get stuck together, and enjoy playing.

Star Trek: Voyager. Stuck in a damaged turbolift in "Year of Hell", Harry and B’Elanna play a quiz game (most fanfic writers would make them have sex instead, but B’Elanna has internal injuries). In "Night" she plays Variant Chess with Tom and they end up having a lover's quarrel, because nothing is happening and they've played the game for so long it's become boring as well.
