I remember seeing such humor portrayed on I Love Lucy and perhaps other tv sit-coms. If done very carefully, they can be somewhat amusing, but we always learned that Ricky really hadn't hurt Lucy, so it was okay.

But in general jokes about domestic violence aren't really funny because the subject matter isn't really funny. It's kind of like trying to make jokes about Nazis, Hogan's Heroes and Mel Brooks & Carl Reiner notwithstanding. They were funny.

It's much funnier to make jokes about incompetent managers. Now, THAT'S FUNNY! Oh, and crooked or idiotic politicians. Eric Cantor, John Boehner, and Mitch McConnell alone can amuse the entire nation and provide sincere belly-laughs EVERY DAMNED DAY!!!! :-)
