While many dark comedy genres explore taboo subjects, 'insane comic wife' specifically focuses on the disruption of domesticity and the power dynamics within a marriage, often with a strong emphasis on the wife's unpredictable and potentially violent behavior. It differs from, say, slapstick or satire by leaning heavily into the unsettling and shocking, rather than purely lighthearted humor. The 'insanity' aspect is central to the comedic effect.
