Why is that such a common thing? While there are certainly people in other generations who have bad marriages and go through bitter divorces, spouse hatred seems so much less common among other generations...

    a lot of what you hear are legitimately jokes.

    Yeah, the comedian that popularized that style of joke had, by all indications, a very long and happy marriage, with his wife traveling with him while he was touring and helping him write his material, meaning a lot of the jokes would have been exaggerated in-jokes between them or self-deprecating humor on her part.

      Rodney Dangerfield?

      Edit: not Rodney Dangerfield. Benny Youngman who was married to his wife from 1928 -1987. His main joke was “take my wife please.”
