[@slugcult1973]

I love this show. Yes, I love it because it's hilarious. But mostly, I love it because it reminds me of growing up. Watching it with my family. Of my parents being excited to have us watch it for the first time, knowing we were going to laugh our asses off. I can't even tell you how many times I have seen these episodes, too many to count. But even now, watching this clip, I can't look away and it makes me want to watch more. The world will never be as simple as it used to be. It sucks.

[@jojocamel60]

The Honeymooners is so funny & I've seen them so many times. I don't have to watch it. Just close my eyes, think about a skit, see it in my mind & lmao. Now that's a great show!! The way Art & Jackie worked together was nothing less than brilliant!!

[@jerryhoward8133]

One of the funniest five and a half minutes of comedy. The mannerisms, words, and inherent brilliance that only a Gleason could pull off. His Brooklyn New York roots only add to the scenarios he struggles to get out of. This guy was so great at his craft it is scary.

[@michaelwainscott2633]

What the heck are you talking about? Did you not watch the Honeymooners? I don't think you did, because the Honeymooners' ENTIRE SHOW was built around Ralph Kramden yelling at people most especially Ed Norton (played by Art Carney) and his wife, Alice (played by Sheila MacRae)! He also liked to yell about his mother in law, played by Ethel Owen.

Gleason praised Art Carney. Ironically watching this video, Gleason referred to Carney as, like how you call a great boxer, a world champion. Gleason knew just how forytunate he was to have Carney. Carney helped Gleason and Gleason helped Carney to do a great job of being hysterical on this show.

[@ztahs]

What's amazing is how much of this was improvised because Gleason hated rehearsing.

[@michaelbarlow6610]

@ Arthur Shatz. Gleason didn't improvise any of his lines in this scene from a classic episode of "The Honeymooners". He read the script but didn't, as you accurately point out, like to rehearse. But his lines of dialogue were not ad-libbed.

[@mawel1955]

@@michaelbarlow6610 According to both Audrey Meadows and Joyce Randolph, Gleason basically familiarized himself with the plot and the overall dialogue but never fully 'stuck to the script'. This meant that the other stars had to know not only their lines but Gleason's as well simply because there were times when Gleason had to cue another character for an important joke or an action that had to take place - something that couldn't be 'improvised' away. And to keep Gleason on track, they arranged for him to make certain subtle gestures if, for whatever reason, he couldn't remember what was supposed to happen next or what he had to say in which case the other cast member had to 'bail him out'. Joyce Randolph said this was the most demanding part of working with Gleason, namely coping with his constant tendency to veer too far away from his lines.

[@michaelbarlow6610]

@ machinewrecker. I didn't say that Jackie Gleason never ad-libbed any of his dialogue on "The Honeymooners" TV show. I just said that (and this is to the best of my knowledge) he didn't ad-lib his lines in this videoclip of the pool room scene from one of the episodes of "The Honeymooners" TV show.

[@scottjohnson1640]

I first saw the Honeymooners when I was about 14 years old back in the late 1970's. It was in the summer when we had no school so I would stay up late and watch TV in the family den after my parents had gone to bed. So one night I was turning the channel on the TV and I saw this show with this big fat guy hollering and getting all bent out of shape about everything. I thought to myself; who's this big fat guy? He's hilarious! So the next night I put the same channel on at the same time and saw the intro where they say; "Jackie Gleason, the Honeymooners." I was like; "So THAT'S Jackie Gleason?" I had heard the name before but didn't know who he was, but now I did. I've been a fan ever since.

[@KT72273]

Rufus Leakin Ed looks up to Ralph in a lot of ways. Ralph is his buddy and Ralph talks like he is really smart about things and he always knows what is right, he knows what he is doing. Even though Ralph may not be very important and wise to most people, he is to Norton. So, Norton figures Ralph can teach these bozos a lesson taking of care of Harvey outside. That is how Norton sees it. He knows Harvey is much bigger. but figures Ralph must know what he is doing. even if Ed doesn't.

@UncleMikeNJ Segregation, etc, was terrible the way African Americans were treated, but I disagree regarding women. Throughout all time, men and women love each other. Women have more equal rights now and work, etc.,but most all women just like most all men were happy being women and happy being men during the years the honeymooners were filmed. Both sexes have always had advantages and disadvantages in life, but the two sexes need each other to be happy. And all people have always known this. Racial prejudices and bias by way of sexual preferences are a different story.

For those wondering what this has to do with baseball, here's a little trivia. Harvey and Shirley eventually played for both the Yankees and Mets. Matt Harvey pitched for the Mets from 2012-2018 going 34-37 in that span. Bart Shirley played 6 games for the Mets at second base in 1967, going 0-12 at the plate before the Mets returned him to the Dodgers, after picking him up in the Rule 5 draft the previous off-season. Joe Harvey pitched 9 games as a reliever in early 2019, winning his lone decision before being traded to the Rockies in a minor league deal Bob Shirley pitched for the Yankees from 1983-86 going 14-20 as a spot starter and mid to long reliever after pitching for the Padres, Cards, and Reds previously.
