C'mon. You stop way too soon, before the joke becomes a joke. Alice was about as afraid of Ralph as Lucy was of Charlie Brown. The humor wasn't that he ever beat her or ever would have; it was that he was a big, blustery shlub who didn't know life could be any other way and so continuously reverted to the delusion that he was Stanley Kowalski (which is funny in and of itself because Stanley was every bit as big a baby) when things didn't go his way.

Watchi this episode and don't cry. Double dog dare.
