Boomer humor, are the straights OK, etc.
The trope is older than that, going back to the 1890s. https://www.npr.org/sections/npr-history-dept/2015/12/28/460940892/rediscovering-mr-and-mrs-henpeck
The boomer’s parents had it with The Honeymooners and I Love Lucy. There’s even references by Shakespeare and Socrates.
