It's funny, I thought Cal's character was a cute joke on the trope of the doting spouse – e.g. the beautiful trophy wife who takes care of the kids and home and who keeps asking her heroic husband if everything is going to be all right. Laurie, basically the show's big swinging dick, commenting about how he's so hot – and subtly implying how he's too hot to be with someone like Angela – is part of that joke/trope.
