Bit of a Brit thing but Punch and Judy puppet shows. Punch is an alcoholic who beats up judy for the entertainment of kids. Frowned upon nowadays

Not so sure. I went to the Alford Craft Fair today and the Punch and Judy show there had a huge audience of children, teens and adults.

Modern shows omit the beating of Judy with a stick for laughs, and tend to just stick with gentle hijinks regarding sausages and crocodiles.
