I am watching The Honeymooners and the fat guy threatened to punch his wife to the moon for not cooking enough dinner for him and his friend. The studio audience laughed at it.

People were actually allowed to be funny until the late 2000's. Believe it or not.

For some reason I doubt TC is actually watching the Honeymooners.

The same reason every other controversial topic makes for good comedy.

The joke on The Honeymooners was that he was a big talker, but never would actually do it. Kind of like how Red Fox' character on Sanford and Son would always say he was having a heart attack, but never actually did.

And the fact that Alice wasn't afraid of him and always gave it back just as bad and got the better of Ralph.

TC is just trolling and probably has never even seen an actual episode.

I feel bad for the people who say this because there's a ton of great, dark humor that's very recent and they're missing out :(

Then the show seems to be beyond you. Ralph is a blowhard and a loud-mouth but a good guy that loves his Wife very much. Alice knows he's all talk and isn't intimidated by his act in the least and isn't afraid to give it back to him. It's actually quite progressive and ahead of its time in that regard.

Leave it to CE to validate the wife-beating jokes from the old days

You'll see these same users in the online dating general on here complaining about how they can't get a date
