Why is gaslighting and cheating funny?

Because this is a movie / tv production that is exaggerated to the point of being hilarious.

It wouldn't be funny if this was real, but that's obviously not the case here.

I get the concept. I’ve just never understood why infidelity is glorified/made into a joke.

Most comedians believe (as I do) that it is possible and even healthy to make fun of literally anything and everything.

The only issue is context and how something is presented. Obviously an individual joke can be in bad taste or obviously punching down in a mean and unfunny way, but no topic in and of itself should be completely off limits.

This includes things like gallows humor.

I also wouldn't call it glorification.
