Watch a perplexed Jimmy Fallon, Julia Louis-Dreyfus play The Whisper Game

Julie Louis-Dreyfus and Jimmy Fallon.

While playing The Whisper Game on Wednesday's The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon and guest Julia Louis-Dreyfus found out that certain words become risqué when you have to rely on your eyes and not your ears. The game involved one person wearing noise-canceling headphones blaring loud music, while the other said a random phrase that they had to guess. Fallon was certain that when Louis-Dreyfus proclaimed "uptown funk you up," it was something that you can't say on television, and you can probably guess what Louis-Dreyfus thought Fallon was saying when it was actually "salted peanuts."
