When I was a teenager back in the early 80s, I went through serious depression and the Honeymooners saved my life. Every night I would watch Ralph, Alice and Norton on a little TV next to my bed at night, and the laughter was enough to get me through the next day. I owe my life to that show, and to this day, if I ever feel sad, all i have to do is think of one of the shows. Thank you Honeymooners!

@@lenorewolke8812 I don't have any interest in tv anymore. Unless it's the old shows. I even miss Dobie Gillis , Patty Duke. But the Honeymooners is my favorite.
@Alan Lowe I would definitely suggest you watch the great nostalgic tv stations like METV(which happens to air The Honeymooners), Antenna Tv, Get Tv etc. Much better programming than networks have today no contest!
I still fall off my chair waiting for Art to adress the ball, so funny and timeless. Two of the best ever in their prime, preserved forever for us adoring fans. Goodbye ball!
I have NO idea--------why, after all these many years, I still laugh at these 2 . They truly were comedy gold. No swearing-------nothing vulgar or dirty------just classic talent, great writing, & the chemistry of 2 masters of their craft. Dad loved Jackie Gleason, even more than Dean Martin. I grew up with him, & I too, have come to love------absolutely love, Gleason. -------------MJL, 76 y/o
Folks, I'm 68. I watched these episodes live as they were broadcast from NYC. The whole family gathered around the small black/white TV and laughed our asses off. I still do today. As does my daughter and nephews and sister. All time great comedy.
I'm 62 and from Scotland and I've been in love with The Honeymooners since I first saw them back in the Summer of 1987 living and working in Upstate NY . It was the tributes to Jackie Gleason as he had just passed away and my cousin said to watch the show at 11 o clock on channel 11as I'd love it and have been the biggest fan ever since .Mr Carney and Mr Gleason and Ms Meadows especially had the most wonderful working chemistry together . And yes they would be deemed unconventional in today's broadcasting ...but God ,they were funneeee .Bang ...Zoom ! Shheesss! The golden age of television ! Best wishes .
I've seen every episode at least 100 times. Comedy is so timeless that it's just as funny today, as then. I grew up in Bensonhurst, oh boy what memories. Life was so much simpler then. My dad took me to Ebbet's, I remember after the game, if you sat on one side of the field and your subway stop was on the opposite side, you didn't walk all the way around the ball park, you were allowed to go onto the field and cut across, no one minded. Much simpler, and much nicer then, wasn't it?
Time can never erase how funny these skits were. They were comedic geniuses and I laugh as hard today as back then. Television needs more of this kind of clean, funny, entertainment.
clean funny material in this manner is still around. society is so desensitized that this kind of comedy is deemed "corny" nowadays. for the fact it doesn't have nudity or foul language or even references. Tyler Perry does this style of comedy skits. but like I mentioned. people talk shit and will call it corny. this era of Hollywood along with laurel and hardy , I love luck etc etc was DEFINITELY ahead of their time. and has GREATLY influenced what we no today as comedy in hollywood
A little personal bragging here. My step-mother's brother was Andrew Russo who was a writer for radio and TV with the penname A.J. Russell. He was head writer on the Honeymooners and won an Emmy for this episode. "Hello, Ball" is a classic line in our family.
I liked it when Norton described how he wanted to have a son, send him to college and then when his son graduated, he would like to work in the sewers together.
Nice. You know, I've got a lot of respect for the comedy writers of that era. They were so restricted as to what they could and couldn't do, and so many subjects were off-limits. So much of what passes for comedy today is lowest common denominator bedroom/bathroom/frat comedy.
As a fanatic Honeymooners fan for literally 60 yrs, I love your comment. It don't take a lot of words to shine! You truly understand the wonderful humor of that show. Brilliantly simple! Good on you.
I was born in early-1989 & my dad first introduced me to this show. I knew it was a short-loved sitcom from the mid-1950's & debuted a few months before my dad turned 2, but, it got me curious as to why it was so beloved & what was so great about it... He bought a box set of the original 39 episodes sometime in the mid-1990's & when I got ready to watch 'The Honeymooners' with him for the first time in my life, I was ready for it. I believe the first VHS tape that he pulled out had this episode on it.
The year was 1955 to 56 when the 39 great and lasting Honeymooner episodes were broadcast. Those bits of television history have provided several generations with grand humor. But you and I were there from the beginning. Ah, Brooklyn in the 50's. Nice memories huh? PeeWee Reese, Snider, Hodges. A Chicago W.Sox fan, I still recall those Brooklyn greats. Love the Christmas episode when Ralph hocks his bowling ball, remember?
One of the many things that made Gleason great was his ability to "hollar." His voice was perfect. I think Jason Alexander's "George" character reflected this too.
One time, my husband was a bowling coach for a group of kids. To keep everyone having fun (they had little confidence as they were brand new to the game). He had a group that wanted him to bowl on their teams during a"bowl for big brothers/big sisters" bowlathon. It just so happened that he was caught on TV addressing his bowling ball with "hello, ball!" It was his final shot for his 300, which he got. That night, he saw himself on TV saying "hello, ball" and shooting the perfect game. Later that season, a team of five of his kids got 4th in state. At the end of the season, a group of parents bought a white bowling ball and wrote "hello coach!" On the other side, the kids all signed the ball.
Honeymooners was regular family Christmas viewing until the old folks passed. Had several on VHS but every year for sure "Hello Ball". It was the essence of the Norton/Kramden. relationship. Greatness never leaves you '
You, sir, are as much a part of history as these shows themselves. Without the kinds of memories you have, let alone your willingness to share them, it'd be a lot harder to get what these shows were all about. You're a great man, despite what some trashtalkers may say on here.
Although Ralph Kramden was a klutz trying to learn golf Jackie Gleason was actually a serious amateur golfer. In 1960s he moved production of his variety show from NYC to Miami so he could play golf all year round. ☺
2022 and my kid hears me (address) the ball.....Dad what's that from? Tear formed, knees shook 😢 I put my club down and familiarize the young jedi.....lmao I had a whole generation laughing and sharing with friends.....Absolutely live for these moments!
Funniest golf "schtick" I've ever seen. By the way, I've watched everyone of Jackie's shows and was always entertained and looked forward to the next. He truly was the master of comedy.
ALICE, I GOTTTTTAAA BIGGG MOUTH!!! GREAT COMEDY !, GREAT ACTING!, JACKIE GLEASON, AUDREY MEADOW, ART CARNEY,JOYCE RANDOLPH. I started watching this show on black and white tv, early 1960s in reruns on KHG,Channel 9 in Los Angeles, at age 6, over next decades seen on tv in the Bay Area, on cbs and now finally on dvd. Love Jackies "Alice, you wanna go to the moon"?, or, "Alice,I gotta BIG MOUTH" I'm 64 now, and still enjoying this great show,THE HONEYMOONERS. TERIFFIC MEMORIES.😊
I got really lucky once, and happened into a video store that was turning over their stick, and they had on sale almost every one of the classic 39 episodes on VHS. They still make me laugh out loud...
People don't realize it (because there were 39 episodes) but the Honeymooners only ran for ONE season! But back then it was on EVERY week for 9 months of the year (unlike the 24 episode seasons of the 80s and 90s and the 10 episode seasons of today) for a 39 episode season. Gleason declined to continue the show (and passed up the $7 million left on his contract) because he loved the show to much to keep going with sub-par ideas...and he felt they were running out of fresh material quickly. Amazing story.
A lot of older comedy shows haven't aged well. But the Honeymooners seems like it was made today. Not just this clip, but nearly all the episodes. Gleason & Carney had that comedic chemistry and the writing was ahead of it's time. And this high praise coming from me - Mr. Critic.
My husband was trying to teach me how to play golf. He was really good, he started with the proper swing. He then handed me the club and said, okay, let’s see whatcha got, so I looked down and said, hello ball !!! We were cracking up ……. Good times and great memories …….. 😘
You know I had a serious illness once myself, it's called arterial monochromia. It usually only affects boxers, i was constantly cold and spent most of my time near the stove. I lost a substantial amount of hair and my tongue turned blue. They gave me six months to live but somehow with love, affection, warm milk and the Honeymooners, I pulled through.
It's amazing that Jackie and the other cast members can enter the stage in front of an audience in ridiculous clothes and not react to the crowd reacting to them.
Sometimes they had to pause or repeat their lines to be heard over the roar of the audience. They were so at ease they could often ad lib like here where Norton forgets to hand the pin cushion to Ralph and Gleason brings him back in line.
"HELLO BALL" 🏌️♀️ What would Jackie (who was great)ever do without Art 🎭 they were a team,sidekicks,a sock and a shoe,a hand and glove, however you say it they were a pair. 😅 R.I.P. ALICE-NORTON-RALPH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ALL OVER AND OVER AND ALL THE YEARS I WATCHED AND MANY MANY MORE TO WATCH.🎉🎉😅😂
THIS is real comedy ------n o swearing------no sex-------just brilliance from 2 masters of sketch comedy. --------LIke Tim Conway & Harvey Korman, these 2 were made for each other. --------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o
One station once ran reruns of the Honeymooners for five years strait. It was the made possible by a Nationwide Honeymooners club and too many fans to count. This was in the 60s.
That one station must be WPIX Channel 11 up here in New York City. Every New Year's Eve and for a good percentage of New Years Day they show the Classic 39. They should've shown the movie too.
Slow Down the video and you'll see, Jackie Gleason has a great backswing. You take Jackie Gleason and Bob Hope and you have two Great ambassadors of golf back in the day. Thanks to reruns on TV I was exposed to it. I think Phil Silvers was a golfer as well. Sergeant Bilko another great classic show.
As a child in Chicago in the 50s, it was bath night, I don't remember what day of the week but after the bath they would dry me off and sit me down and watch the honeymooners! My childhood!
“Whats crazier, saying Tally Ho to a fox or hello to a golf ball?!”
Comic gold.
When I was a teenager back in the early 80s, I went through serious depression and the Honeymooners saved my life. Every night I would watch Ralph, Alice and Norton on a little TV next to my bed at night, and the laughter was enough to get me through the next day.

Watching The Honeymooners on new years were some of the best times growing up
I watched it at 11:30 pm on channel 11 New York in the 80s.
HELLOOOO, BALL!!.....an all time classic!!
It's right up there with, "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."
"Helllooo ball!"
No show today can meet this natural, talented writing.❤
"Hello, ball!" never gets old.
Tom Barrister show.please.the.honeymooners.alis.playing.pool.with.rslpf.
It really never does.
Every time I play golf, I address the ball just to annoy the person I am playing with
Haha...😂👌
@@thefuture8173 aye. If you make them annoyed it definitely has an effect on their game.
This show is beyond belief
I still fall off my chair waiting for Art to adress the ball, so funny and timeless. Two of the best ever in their prime, preserved forever for us adoring fans. Goodbye ball!

I love when Ralph asks Norton what it says in the book and Norton starts reading who the book was dedicated to.
"Hel-looo ball". I laughed even tho I knew what was coming.
+ohsnapiam59 Even the studio audience started laughing when he said 'address the ball'. LOL
The best
that never gets old
you and I both...
😂😂😂😂
"Hello, Ball!" is my favorite lol moment!😂
One of the most classic funny scenes in comedy history ..HELLO BALL!!
6/26/2020 and I'm here for one thing...Helloooooo, ball! 🤣 Man, that never gets old!
Ralph’s golf outfit is almost as hilarious as Norton’s “Hello Ball” line! 🤣🤣
I've seen every episode at least 100 times. Comedy is so timeless that it's just as funny today, as then. I grew up in Bensonhurst, oh boy what memories. Life was so much simpler then.

Red Skelton was good also. He played some funny parts
Let’s not forget ……. I LOVE LUCY …..
The way Norton hesitates hand waving or hello ball
Sadly, this show is too "white" for the bigots.
They ran these in Chicago at 10pm in the early 70s and we would laugh about them in high school the next day. Timeless comedy gold.
Wow, you sound cute and I wish I was there at that time in the 70s
These two were magic together.
A little personal bragging here. My step-mother's brother was Andrew Russo who was a writer for radio and TV with the penname A.J. Russell. He was head writer on the Honeymooners and won an Emmy for this episode. "Hello, Ball" is a classic line in our family.

Awesome.
My favorite bit of Art and Jackie's, still gold, decades later. 😂❤
Gleason & Carney = BRILLIANT
I loved “ THE MAN FROM SPACE “ episode !
And “ CHEF OF THE FUTURE”. My 2
personal favorites……. ❤️
this is what's missing from TV today.... This is a timeless classic
Classic scene. Never gets old. A joy to watch.
My dad and Uncle Bob always act out this part when they go golfing together!
R.i.P Art Carney
Nothing on tv even compares to the Honeymooners!!!
These episodes are fantastic and they never get old!!
Nothing on tv even comes CLOSE to them!❤😂❤
Art Carney was not just a funny guy, but was also an Academy Award-winning movie actor.
GREAT! GREAT! GREAT!
SOOOO GUNNY!😂
Lo ved Art. The best
And I believe a great pianist. He played on The Johnny Carson Show.
2:41 Hello, Ball! 🤣😅
This never gets old and it's just good for your soul.
Never gets old 😀
Nope! I gets me every time 😂😂😂
I spent every Friday night with my grandparents growing up. We watched The Dukes, Dallas, Falcon Crest, the local news and then the Honeymooners.
Still brings me laughing to tears when he says hello ball
As a fanatic Honeymooners fan for literally 60 yrs, I love your comment. It don't take a lot of words to shine! You truly understand the wonderful humor of that show. Brilliantly simple! Good on you.
im 15, this is so much better than whats on today!
You are wise beyond your years. Keep thinking that way and you'll go far!
@Day and Nyte No he's not.
timeless show, it will be entertaining in any generation
Carney was also a comedic genius
Jackie Gleason once said that 90% of the success of "The Honeymooners" was due to Art Carney.
I was born in early-1989 & my dad first introduced me to this show.
I knew it was a short-loved sitcom from the mid-1950's & debuted a few months before my dad turned 2, but, it got me curious as to why it was so beloved & what was so great about it...

OMG LMAO. Just introduced my teenage daughter to this classic series. Jackie Gleason and Art Carney were comic genius. Thanks for uploading!
Jackie Gleason was the Great one
He will always be The Great One.
The year was 1955 to 56 when the 39 great and lasting Honeymooner episodes were broadcast. Those bits of television history have provided several generations with grand humor. But you and I were there from the beginning. Ah, Brooklyn in the 50's. Nice memories huh? PeeWee Reese, Snider, Hodges. A Chicago W.Sox fan, I still recall those Brooklyn greats.

Jackie Gleason will always be the G.O.A.T.
2023 .. still watching.. still laughing out loud .. it NEVER GETS OLD.
One of the many things that made Gleason great was his ability to "hollar." His voice was perfect. I think Jason Alexander's "George" character reflected this too.
He was a carnival barker before getting into TV. Taught him how to holler and be heard
Fred Flintstone, too. It's no secret that Hanna-Barbera modeled Fred and Barney on Ralph and Norton.
Still good for a laugh..What classic comedy is all about.
You hear the applause get louder AFTER the punchline. That's when you know you did something legendary.
I absolutely loved that show !!!! If anyone needs a good laugh, watch Ralph & Norton
That’s when television was worth watching.
Black & white too !!!!
"Well Norton, how do I look?" LOL
Deeeeeevine ..... you look deeeevine
"Address the ball"
CLASSIC!!!
One time, my husband was a bowling coach for a group of kids. To keep everyone having fun (they had little confidence as they were brand new to the game).

Watch every episode 20 plus times over loved it. They were so dam funny. Awesome show.
I’m 32 and love this. Thank you Dad
Great stuff!. Timeless.
I like the part where Norton screams "NOW" and Ralph hits the pots and pans. Lol
Honeymooners was regular family Christmas viewing until the old folks passed. Had several on VHS but every year for sure "Hello Ball". It was the essence of the Norton/Kramden. relationship. Greatness never leaves you

He even had a golf cart that was built by Rolls Royce.

What astounds me about this show was that they taped those episodes on Live tv.....amazing!!!
There isn’t a single program on tv today that is better than the Honeymooners
Absolutely classic. I loved watching as a kid with my mom
A classic-thanks takes me back to my childhood
Funniest golf "schtick" I've ever seen. By the way, I've watched everyone of Jackie's shows and was always entertained and looked forward to the next. He truly was the master of comedy.

This scene had me laughing so hard. " Hello Ball."
Better & FUNNIER THAN EVERYTHING ON TV TODAY!
2:47 A line that will be known and repeated by golfers for time immemorial.
I wonder how many golfers even do this today. Does Tiger Woods do it?
My husband was trying to teach me how to play golf. He was really good, he started with the proper swing. He then handed me the club and said, okay, let’s see whatcha
got, so I looked down and said, hello ball !!!
We were cracking up ……. Good times and great memories …….. 😘
Watching this on ME TV right now!
I first saw this episode probably about 55 years ago and to this day, every so often I just have to say to myself, "Hello ball!" So funny.
Greatest punch line ever.
Excuse Mr. Kramden what are polp-onies? after rehearsing with and hearing Norton saying it all thru rehearsel.🤪🤪🤪
