Alice remained uncowed and always got a lot of applause when she first entered the set

The joke, of course, was that Alice didn't fear his threats because she knew them to be toothless, and because she knew that she "wore the pants," as it were.

Still, it can be uncomfortable to hear that sort of casual "beat your wife" banter in this day & age, even with an awareness of the show's context.
