* CrossesTheLineTwice: Good showings will definitely do this.
* ValuesDissonance:
** Possibly the best example of this as Punch's DomesticAbuse of Judy is completely PlayedForLaughs. The only thing worse then a man beating his wife is a parent abusing their child, or in this throwing them out the window. Again, all PlayedForLaughs.
*** To make things more jarring. A common rule in Punch and Judy shows is that Judy must always hit Punch first, so as to not make her look like an innocent victim. Yes, even during the 16th century, a man beating his wife for no good reason was frowned upon. A man beating his child? Not so much, as the only reason why Judy hits Punch is in retaliation to Punch hurting their child for crying. So, by 16th century logic, [[SkewedPriorities Punch needs a justified reason to abuse his wife, but not for abusing his child.]]
** A widely performed version in the 1850s featured a {{Blackface}} {{Minstrel|Shows}} puppet named "Jim Crow." Needless to say, that character vanished without a trace from later performances.
