I think it's nice he got out of that somewhat abusive relationship.

Oh my god, that Woody Allen joke. *dies*Scarim Coral said:
Serious or no, that was hilarious. I also always find it strange when self-described feminists use the word 'broad'. Isn't that supposed to be a bad term?Zontar said:
I haven't seen much of The Honeymooners, but I don't think that the gag is that Jackie Gleeson's character is planning on beating his wife. It's that he always makes these absurd claims about "boom, pow, right to the Moon" to everyone that annoys him or tries to talk him down from his stupid ideas (his wife included), but no one ever takes him seriously because they understand that he's all talk and will never actually do it. It isn't meant to be funny because he actually is going to go through, but rather because he's a blustering idiot making ridiculous threats to people that could probably beat him up anyways. Him actually fighting someone would ruin the joke.Spot1990 said:Yeah, everyone knows you can only be abusive to your wife offscreen, hinting at the whooping she's gonna get. Oh Jackie Gleeson you lovable psychopath.Caramel Frappe said:Wasn't Ms. Piggy always abusing Kermit over the smallest things? I recall her always adding more than a 'slap' with kicking, body slams, insults to the heart ... anything you could imagine. But because it's done under comedic effect, it doesn't seem bad. But put that in a different lighting with Kermit begging for her to stop- then the mood dramatically changes.
It's fiction, but we're gamers. We like to speculate such concepts and relate it to the real world. I certainly believe he did the right thing for leaving her. If Kermit was seen doing this to Ms. Piggy and pulling her by the hair or abusing her violently- the audience would have an outcry believe me.
Boom. Nailed it.Johnny Novgorod said:I don't like her but I don't think you're supposed to. They probably split up Kermit and Piggy so the showrunners could work the tension angle again (because steady relationships are boring). I bet they're back before the show's over.

Natalie Dormer is the name you're looking for! (AKA "That Smirking Whore from Highgarden")mysecondlife said:I heard about this while back.
First thing on my mind was how the new gf strangely looks like Angelina Jolie if she was a pig. Then I started thinking about Jennifer Aniston's blond hair...
..then I shrugged and went about my day.
