History WesternAnimation / HisBitterHalf

* HenpeckedHusband: Daffy, big time! You really feel sorry for him with everything he goes through.

* TheSociopath: Both the widow and her son, with all the shameless abuse they pile on Daffy.

* KarmaHoudini: Sort of. Despite how abusive Wentworth and his mother are towards Daffy, they get no real come-uppance at the end. Granted, Daffy does bail on them. But, even then, the widow has one last laugh (see ExactWords above).

'''His Bitter Half''' is a 1950 WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes short directed by Creator/FrizFreleng. It stars WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck as a simple bachelor who discovers, when reading the want ads, that a rich widow is looking to marry a "refined, single, gentleman duck." Daffy, drawn to the prospects of both marriage and money, immediately rushes to marry her. Unfortunately for him, she turns out to be a [[LargeAndInCharge physically huge woman with an incredibly domineering personality.]] To make matters worse, she has a [[BrattyHalfPint bratty son]] named Wentworth who constantly torments and causes trouble for Daffy, with the widow showing zero sympathy for the poor black duck.

* LargeHam: Daffy assumes a number of ridiculous poses in the shooting gallery scene.
* {{Jerkass}}: The widow works Daffy to the grind and shows zero sympathy or remorse even after Wentworth nearly kills him.

* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: At the shooting gallery, Wentworth keeps shooting BBs at the operator to make it seem as if Daffy is the one shooting him.
