@@PaulTesta I love this show. I wish there were more on here. I rewatch the same ones pretty much every night. I also watch All in the Family, I love Archie. 😀 And Andy Griffith show, Barney Fife, is a trip. I think I'll send away for some on Amazon. 🙃
"…says it'll cut five hours out of the trip for everybody's that going there." The little ear scratch, the head turn and side nod… his delivery was so, so smooth.
Actually Norton was fairly accurate in his description of chattel….” Did you sell any livestock” Chattel is all property that was is not real estate and not attached to real estate. Examples included everything from leases, to cows, to clothes.
Look at that 55 Buick on the back of the paper. When this show aired live in 55 you could go down and buy one! I sure wish those days were still here. All U.S. made in Michigan! They must have been a sponsor on this show. Early product placement. Great episode.
Norton: “what is this amount? 1053622... ralph: what amount? Thats not an amount thats my social security number!.. norton: “ i thought maybe it was your weight. Lmao
@@maggiefentonkuzawa9161 And these young stupid people of today's world will never want to admit how great this was because they don't think it's funny or politically correct what an awful shame!!!!!
The greatest comedy team, since Laurel and Hardy Gleason and Carney we're absolutely brilliant! The writers, Leonard Stern, and Walter Stone, we're way ahead of their time. Their genius writing still stands up today. I believe The Honeymooners was without a doubt the greatest sitcom in television history.
I was a young kid watching reruns of this in bed late. It was the best, and still is. Keeps me laughing so hard. Night court came on afterwards, followed by Benny Hill. Haha.
These 2 are priceless. Gone are the days of laurel and hardy ralph and norton abbott and costello. Thank god for recorded tv from yesterday. Andy and barney were a great time.
This was a real comedy, I think Alice and Norton are doing awesome job to make Ralph come out with those perfect gestures that is in the back of everyone's head in the world, but showing them like that makes you laugh even if you watch it 10 times.
Classic show I was not.born yet when this show came out on in the 50s I was born in 1964 I watched this show in the eighties very funny they do not make.shows like this anymore I don't care if this show is over sixty years old up the irons!!!maiden manic🎸🎸🤟🤟🤘⭐⭐⭐🇬🇧🇬🇧🎶🎶🎶
My great great great grandpa was dutch and is credited with inventing the wooden shoe but died while he was putting out his campfire ! ! Can't be lucky all the time ! !👍🍺😛🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺😷😷😷😷❤❤❤ love ralph and ed ! !❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🍺🍺🍺
The greatest sitcom ever made, Also unique in another aspect, all 39 episodes are classics. No matter which one came on TV that night, no one I knew ever said, "Ohh it's this one" in a negative way...Even other great TV comedies I love, can't make that claim.
I was born 29 years after the first episode of the honeymooners was initially broadcast on television. But I think the honeymooners is much better then the vast majority of shows on television currently. In fact I just have a television to watch DVD copies of episodes of old movies and television shows.
@@frasierthebichon7422 No. It depends on how high the cash amount is. If the skinny chicken had been 1,000 dollars, there would've been an issue. A few dollars they aren't going to care about.
When I watch these old clips, I think of the talent involved. There are very few scene cuts, just a few camera angle changes. Now, with short attention spans three is a scene change or cut about every 5 to 10 seconds. What talent the actors had to be able to keep you focused on them. I can't always blame the newer actors, just the editors.
😆😆 R.O.T.F.L OMG WHAT MEMORIES WHEN I HAD NO CARE,IN THE WORLD.WAS TOO YOUNG TO WATCH, MY MOM RAISED 5 CHILDREN ON HER OWN..SAID I WAS LIKE DEALING WITH 10 BAD KIDS.💁🏻♀️🤔,, Really not my fault. I remember when my mom used to watch it and fall asleep I could sneak in a couple of minutes I always waited for it to come on,,, no I was pretty young so I don't remember most of it but now it's such a joy watching it.. Audrey Meadows Joyce Randolph Jackie Gleason and 😂, 😂😂 ART Karney.. 💋💋💋💋😘😘😘😘
I can't vouch for the Roseanne reboot since I don't watch it but as I recall, in the early 50's CBS did give Gleason a contract that paid him handsomely every year whether or not he did any work for them at all - as long as he didn't do any work for any other network - that contract expired in 1971. Lucille Ball received a similar exclusive contract with CBS at that time.
Over 6 decades later and I'd still prefer this to nearly everything currently on TV
I don’t watch any of the crap today. I got a chromecast I have all the old classic tv shows on it.
These people were unbelievably funny and tremendously talented. No one today can compare to this type of comedy simply priceless!!!
True there.This and Sanford and Son are my 2 favorite shows of all time. Call me old fashioned but I like talent.
So true!
@@ash27slick74 Try All in the Family
@@alangranger7387 I didn't watch All in the Family as a youngster, just started watching it now. You are correct.
@9TheMajor Exactly! That's the easy way out.
Who else here in 2020? ❤️👍👍👍😀love these old honeymooners
Here the moners in the hissouse!!!
I love them. Jackie Gleason and Art Carney were the greatest Comedy Duo of all time Period!!!!!
@@scottmiller6495 Join me in celebrating the 65th anniversary of the start of these 39 classics on October 1, I think.
2021
Some things never change. Their comedy is timeless.
So true....
Im 42 but always stayed up to watch this show when I was young....still funny today!
Good people...Good comedy.
I could watch The Honeymooners over and over and not get tired of watching the show
I agree!
The worst thing they could possibly do is send you to the federal pen.!!!
Keith Warner ...Check out Norton's beat up slipper hanging off his foot, after Ralph screams at him!!! Hilariously Insane!!! LOL!!!
Hahaha
I can never get enough of how how Norton sincerely demonstrates the opposite of helpfully advising Ralph
Seen it probably about 50 times, never gets old, priceless.
Every night in NY on WPIX Chanel 11 for years it was the last show I watched at night for every night for years
.

11:00 PM "Odd Couple"

i wasn't born until 1974, that makes me 46 years old. even though i was not around back when this show was, i still watch this show.its funny & great.
Jackie Gleason said Norton was 90 per cent of The Honeymooners but Gleason ran this beyond classic show. Every episode was flawless. 😆
Ralph and Norton were the best i never get tired of these episodes. Timeless classics.....
You know what this means
Comedy doesn't get better than this
I like the fact that the Flintstones were based on this show.
Today's so - called comedians couldn't even hope to begin to hold a candle to these guys!!!
So true! They can't even hold a chattel to them either! lol
@@dropjawbertone u never get tired of any episode it gets funnier and funnier a genius put this together

Thanks for posting, one of the funniest shows ever made , never gets old. What talent these guys had.
Grew up watching the honeymooners and it's still the best comedy show ever.
Great classic comedy that can never be again
I love it about his weight on the form, and then tell them you were drunk when you did your taxes. So funny and great after 60 years!!!!!
And he's the only American with a 7 digit social security number, lol.
I wonder how many people tried that advice after hearing this in all the years since?
Wonder how many people tried the excuse of being drunk when they made out their taxes when they had to go down there?
@@sha11235 Oh my I can only imagine!!!!!!!!

Buick in fact WAS the sponsor when the classic 39 aired in 1955-56.
Love my Honeymooners. They were great. Word to the wise never tell the IRS any more than they need to know
That’s the best advice ever
Norton: “what is this amount? 1053622... ralph: what amount? Thats not an amount thats my social security number!.. norton: “ i thought maybe it was your weight. Lmao
Comedy these days is all about sex
They don't make 'em like they use to.

Now could you tell me WHY anyone would put his weight on an income tax form?
Tell em you were drunk when you made out your taxes!!! Ha Ha! priceless!!!
Everything about 'The Honeymooners' is priceless.

This is my favorite clip and episode but tied with Lulu and get the bag! Ha! Thanks for posting this!!
Barney Rubble was based on the character Ed Norton (Art Carney) from The Honeymooners
Never gets old.
Between the three of them, they could send me off the couch in laffs!
2020 and I'm still dieing laffin. Classic rk skits,love me some honeymooners!
Betty Rubble was based on the character Trixie Norton (Joyce Randolph) from The Honeymooners
I’m a lawyer and I worked for a low income tax clinic last summer. You wouldn’t believe the number of really poor people the IRS will go after.
Agree - and bless you for trying to help some of them out.
@@alexisdiva9 It was heartbreaking. These poor people were so frightened of the IRS. Meanwhile, billionaires pay hardly any income taxes at all.
As a lawyer you should know that there is no law stating that you have to pay income tax.
@@eddiejames9863 Tell that to the IRS!
“Now will you tell me why I would put my weight down on a income tax report ?.”
Exactly how I feel when I do my taxes. Terrified beyond belief! Only Ralph and Norton could make that funny.
😂
I know right.
Gleason and Carney were pros and legends.
'He's Kramden; I'm clean." LOLOLOLOLOL
Nothing better than when Ralph and Norton put their heads together to solve a problem.
Great show. Total talent! Alice was so pretty.
She was a beauty.
With Norton helping out with his taxes, what can go wrong.
Lol
Everything
Everything
Gleason and Carney, no greater comedy duo!
The Best!!!!!
I agree!
I don't know about that what about laurel and hardy but Gleason and Carney tops them.
@@darrylperry9798 they were all the Best in their own way
How could you think I made it any money selling livestock!! Heeoooh!! (4:37) That expression on his face afterwards. LMAOO!!!
Norton tells Ralph to stand on the 18th amendment, that he was drunk when he made out his taxes
LOL - but I doubt that would fly since the 18th (Prohibition) Amendment was actually repealed in 1932-33.
comedy doesn't get any better than this
These 2 are priceless. Gone are the days of laurel and hardy ralph and norton abbott and costello. Thank god for recorded tv from yesterday. Andy and barney were a great time.
Simply the greatest...Ever.
Trouble? I don't even know what I'm talking about! 😂🤣
That line was delivered flawlessly and with real emotion. Jackie truly was the Great One.
Still watching these episodes today. Love the Honeymooners! So funny
One skinny chicken. $2. Horse with clock in stomach. $15. Well now these are the things they're checkin' up on you for no doubt about that! LOLOL!!!!!
lolol
ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS HUMOR!!!!
I love that line!!!
3 legged race, $5…
LOL - but these days any one time gift/award with a value less than $25.00 is considered de minimus and would not be required to be reported.
It's not the joke ..it's how you do it ..and Gleason could !
And Csrney and Meadows played off him and he played off them.
"You know what this means don't you Norton? You know what it means!" 😂
Stand on the 18th Amendment.
Blame it on the al al al co hol
Tell em you were drunk when you did your taxes!!!!!
80 dollars playing poker that was 2 weeks salary back in 1956
I could see him and Norton having George and Harvey over for the poker game too. I'm sure they became good friends in the end.
Well, Ralph made $62 a week as a bus driver.
I come back to this video every year when it’s time to start my taxes. Haha a classic duo.
Good clean comedy
Ralph won a 3 legged race at the Racoon picnic Lol
Bless you for the laughter and joy...
"Tell 'em you were drunk when you made out your taxes!" XD
And this is the second time in the episode he threw Norton out.
Honeymooners, I love Lucy, Seinfeld, Raymond, King of Queens.
This was a real comedy, I think Alice and Norton are doing awesome job to make Ralph come out with those perfect gestures that is in the back of everyone's head in the world, but showing them like that makes you laugh even if you watch it 10 times.
Ed Norton tax advice...what could go wrong.
This is the IRS that's investigating me! It is not the Girl Scouts! They don't want me down there buying cookies! Lmao!
Whenever I want to cheer myself up I put on the Honeymooners!
Stand on the 18th amendment!
Why would I put my weight on my income tax lol😂🐾
The Best comedy show ever 70 80 90 & 20
Love those guys.
"I thought maybe it was your weight!" XD
Norton always knows what to say.
Now these are the things they're investigatin'
Timeless, classic comedy!
use to watch this all the time..wow so long ago
What does chattels mean. I dont know maybe they want to know if you sold livestock . Hilarious.
Chattel is property owned be it personal or real estate. In the Constitution of the US the word chattel is used.
Every time I hear or see that word, I think of this.
Ah the late greats..............................................
He's writing everything in the same spot on the paper...ha!
Classic show I was not.born yet when this show came out on in the 50s I was born in 1964 I watched this show in the eighties very funny they do not make.shows like this anymore I don't care if this show is over sixty years old up the irons!!!maiden manic🎸🎸🤟🤟🤘⭐⭐⭐🇬🇧🇬🇧🎶🎶🎶

Tell em that you were drunk when you made out your taxes 😂😂😂
Cool as a cucumber how he flubs the line "horse with the stomach in its clock" and then corrects himself without losing character or composure.
Love how he says he got a horse with stomach in it's clock.
Hr got it as a prixe for something.
It was probably a mistake and they kept it in.
@@susanb2015 this was filmed live thats why there are several mistakes and mis-deliveries.....still unbelievably great
@@kmconway6 Yes I know. Jackie didn't want to rehearse too much so they would look natural. It just makes it more fun.
Blame the cue cards.

4:20 My favorite part! Ralph's reaction!!😂😂😂
the great one
All 39 are timeless, but everybody has their favorites, mine being The $10,000 Question, & Funny Money
2:01 Here Norton thought it was Ralph's weight
Give me a rubber band sandwich and make it snappy!
I never heard that one before, pretty good.
Wow look at the size of that small tax book
I think it even said "simplified" on the cover.
"can they push you over a cliff?"
LMFAO, WTF
They would need a bulldozer for that.

You know, in reality, the IRS wouldn't go after those small items of income, like the skinny chicken or the three legged race.

What about the horse with the clock in its stomach though?

CBS gave him a lifetime contract. They often do not give a sitcom a 13 week contract now. ABC gave the Roseanne reboot 6 shows until it proved itself.
