it's not domestic violence to make idle threads

Americans still do. Its because Americans are third world savages

Are you saying its not?

my wife and I think it's funny too. maybe people back then just laughed when funny shit happened. idk

Why do men feel inclined to make "empty threats" of physical violence against their spouses anyway? Don't they love them?

hey reddit

Before quips people used to laugh at physical comedy

It's a serious question. Why does this happen? It doesn't even make sense.

lead paint ingestion by children causes a propensity for violence and antisocial behaviours
lead paint was widespread in new construction in the usa until the 1970s.
do the fucking math.

You mean slapstick. I heard the Three Stooges weren't allowed to be shown anywhere outside the US because US authorities thought it would make Americans look like a bunch of idiots.

DUDE FEIGNING IGNORANCE FOR A """""FUNNY""""" THREAD LMAO

The joke is that he's never hit her and never will, and thus she always knows he's just talking shit and isn't smart enough to articulate his frustration in any manner other than punching the air.

False claim. A town in Russia legalized domestic violence and reports of such violence skyrocketed overnight.

All need to chill. It was a comedy element.

You love the passive-aggressive bitch, but sometimes you want to punch her repeatedly on the nostril. That's what relationships are, kiddos. All shows did it.

If anything it put domestic violence on the radar.

Classic

>cites .rus as if its not a thirdworld shithole

hello komrade
should you not be posting hillary images elsewhere?

Some couples, after years of putting up with each other, end up hating each other.

Why didn't Alice just cut off Ralph's dick?

>Don't they love them?
No.

Because they were raised that way probably. Personally I only "beat up"woman and give them a few moderate jabs because it sexually arouses me. The hottest part is when they urinate themselves in fear, especially if they're wearing a skirt.

She was a bit of a bitch and he was a bit of an idiot.

That was the comedy element.

All in the Family is kind of a more modern equivalent of the same formula but flipping some things by having Edith be timid instead of confrontational and shitloads of social issues instead of just general stories.

For as old as it is The Honeymooners still holds up as a sitcom. Pretty funny.

Limerence is only temporary.

is it not? i joke with my wife about punching her all the time for laughs

its a joke because we both know i would never do it. which as i understand is the same with your pic. "one of these days..." means hes never hit her and she obviously doesnt believe he ever will. its just irl shitposting

There are some things you simply don't joke about.

well this obviously isnt a case you dumb fuck

are you trying to argue against reality or something? the honeymooners was popular and loved

you sound like a beta bitch who doesnt understand women (or normal people) trying to white knight for some hypothetical bitch that you think is going to fuck you

Audrey Meadows has been dead for twenty years.

What's wrong with punching something you own?

To get out of fucking you.

All in the Family is pretty hilarious.

So problematic

Why was he so mad all the time?

He had a cushy government job where he sat on his ass all day driving in a circle. Also he was a white guy living in the 50s; you can't get much better than that.

White people are never have enough they always want more

Once I was driving and saw a middle aged couple arguing in a McDonald's parking lot, then the guy just punched the lady square in the face and she started yelling "WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK" was hilarious but I felt bad for the lady

and if she disagreed, you'd give her a black eye, right? hahahaha! hilarious.

OP: there was this weird thing in the forties and fifties where American husbands and wives seemed to hate each other. it was called the Battle of the Sexes, and a perfect example is this film:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Murder_Your_Wife

at the climax, in court, one of the lawyers draws a button in chalk on the prosecutor's chair and tells him "if you press that button, your wife will disappear, with no consequences. would you press it?" and he did. his wife protested and he said "shut up! YOU'RE DEAD!"

still can't work out how this became a thing.

this, and also she reks him often

who gets MARRIED to their limerent object? jesus, that's like starting a religion over that taco you had for lunch.

cause it is

Sometimes...things got nasty.

1950s America is literally the peak of western civilization

many of todays problems would have been fixed with a quick backhand to certain modern women.

Cushy government jobs where you sit on your ass all day driving in an endless circle is repetetive, boring, and frustrating due to the amount of assholes that cause all sorts of unnecessary problems day in and day out. There's a reason why depression is more widespread in rich countries than in poor ones.

Bitches need to know their place

why is this hot

Why did 1950s America bully autistic girls?

youtube.com/watch?v=ABCDPGzjalQ

This was why Wilma, and later Lois, had red hair.

What did xe mean by this

Barbara A CUTE!

Because you have a small penis.

Because much lazy humor relies on shock. The idea that a husband would mistreat his wife or a wife would mistreat her husband was a far more foreign in those days compared to now.

Because in spite of what some racists will tell you, America was never great. It had slavery, JIm Crow laws, and didn't allow women to vote. That's why.

yeah, so?

Wanna hook up?

So, things hasn't changed that much, uh? I am watching a movie with Adam Sandler and him and his friend are all married with hot women but they find them annoying and can't stand them. So, nowadays they can't beat them, so they complain to esch other and get drunk. That's fucking sad.

>I am watching a movie with Adam Sandler

It was a different time, a good time where you could fuck your wife anytime you want even if she said no and the law couldn't do shit because it was perfectly legal (martial rape wasn't a thing in the us until the 70s and it was still legal in some states in 80s) to do it.

Fuck I envy men who lived in the 50s so much. As much can trump say maga that america is long gone.

God forbid people would think Americans are idiots

Why do you hate us?

>Why do men feel inclined to make "empty threats" of physical violence against their spouses anyway? Don't they love them?

If you don't constantly troll your wife you don't actually love her.

I've personally farted in her face and slapped her around hundreds of times.

Because you're arrogant and loud. You're not so bad though, you just need to tone it down a bit.

This. I violently beat my wife and pee on her on a weekly basis. It's important to show her you care.

The remote is too far away.

why do women feel inclined to make "empty threats" all the fucking time

brutal

Because that's the only way to cure autism.

i guess it's progress when people don't state out loud in court that they want their wife dead, they just whine about it.
