what's extra funny is, this is the angriest Ralph EVER got during the whole series, and it was caused by mambo
Imagine today, them feminist would bitch about it and cancel on Twitter or whatever else they fled to ever since Musk bought it
@@ADJackD this show wouldn’t even get passed the pitch idea today 😂
True. Thing is that if one actually watches the show, one realizes that Alice actually runs that house and all of the priorities in that relationship. Raplh did everything for her. She even handled all then money. She was the original feminist.
@@ADJackD would actually be a good thing lol. This show was awful. And it's actual abuse lol
@@tizianoferrigno588 abuse what? He just gets angry at her.
*right after tipping his hat in a gentlemanly-like manner*
Now….GET MY SUPPER!! 🤣
GET IT YOURSELF!!! 😂😂😂😂
@@shannonperry9884 Lady is FEISTY
@shannonperry9884 You're gonna do the Mambo! You're gonna do the Mambo BUT IT'S GONNA BE IN THE MOON!
Sopranos brought me here hahahaha yet another good effect of that show. GEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeet OUT!
They seem like a happy and healthy couple.
It’s a comedy show stupid
@@youtubeaccount7544 you seem fun at parties
A lot of healthy communication
They would be, if Alice would be a good wife.
lol
"Mambo? Oh, Carlos was *teaching you the Mambo. That's a different story. Get out, geeeet ouuut!!!" --Tony Blundetto.
Same here
Rusty is not amused
Me too!!! Lol Cant believe The mayor of Munchkin Land didnt laugh at Tonys impression
5280z007 That guy acts like he’s Frankie Valli or some kind of big shot
@Alain Portant Anyone I know?
Man, watching this from a modern perspective, Alice straight up looks like she’s contemplating stabbing Ralph in his sleep.
I recommend the show Kevin Can F Himself. The premise is basically the sitcom wife contemplating killing her husband
Absolutely not; you haven't a clue, apparently.
Alice couldn't possibly contemplate committing such an act because she would be giving the life of luxury that Ralph lavished upon her.
I would dump any girl for an Alice
Oh, Alice could hold her own. That's why Gleason hired Audrey Meadows for the Alice role. And did you notice the audience applause when Alice says that Ralph has forgotten the gentlemanly manners like tipping his hat to a lady? Even in "the good old days", people knew that women deserved better treatment.
I'm 34 and this is my first time seeing this, hilarious!
I love how ed just stood there while ralph and alice went at it. Classy actors and show.
He made a mistake there coming in too soon and yelling at himself for doing that! But since this was done live there was no retakes.
I've been in that situation before lol. All you can do is just stand there silently and hope they don't try bringing you into their argument.
This is an abusive relationship not cutesy banter
@@mrmjb1960 Correction. My uncle Peter grew up with Gleason and stayed in touch.
This Scene is where Norton demonstrates/expresses his argument ,also ,with Trixie regarding the Mambo .
"One of these days, Alice, one of these days..." "Yeah yeah yeah, straight to the moon" *Ralph strikes out of anger & backs away slowly*
ValorPictures family guy
that should have happened. she needs to learn a lesson.
yeah but seriously never hit a woman and like just leave if they try to hit you. basically if you're a man and you get into a physical altercation with a woman, you will be blamed for it without video evidence
Babs Pewterschmidt cheated on Carter with Jackie Gleason and that's why Lois' brother Patrick became a serial killer of fat people.
😑
Man, this episode of Wanda vision is truly realistic for it's time period
Agree
IM LOLING
"You wanna wiggle? Wiggle over to the stove!"
Justin Li, "...and get my supper!" The ending to one of the funniest lines of the entire series.
One of these days
bahaha
He's not wrong
Perfectly synced with the audio
I love how he is just 100% heat and anger and she is literally looking away, extremely tired, trying to find a moment of peace from his insane tirade. You can see her literally trying to keep herself from getting worked up and throwing more fuel on the fire. Her expressions when she isn't making eye contact with him are the most relatable thing I have ever seen in a sitcom.
But then she converts his expressed energy, and gives right back in a calmer Alice way. Not as physical. But still with plenty of gesticulation. That interplay was what made their onscreen chemistry work so well.
@@kencoleman5007 I can imagine being her, though, constantly having to deal with a person who is not only prone to anger and paranoia, but who also has significant financial and societal power over you, and having to constantly find clever or graceful ways to redirect the his energy so you can hold your own. It sounds like absolute hell to me.
@jpickens189 Not always so much with the paranoia, but he did have a quick temper and could get jealous (Scorpio?). But Ralph (and the show) were about being early "lower middle class" in what I think was Queens. Class structures, social groups like a men's lodge, envying people on the next societal rung up, but being proud of the rung they're on. ... King of Queens-like in that way.
The thing that stands out though is the balance of the argument and resolution. Alice is incredibly patient while Ralph goes off the handle, but then he listens to and acknowledges Alice's rationale. There are many spouses far more hard-headed. For variety, Alice's doesn't win all arguments though, and Ralph doesn't win all (for the right reasons). That resolution where Ralph eventually acknowledges and agrees with Alice is why one of the show's famous lines the sincere "not sarcastic" "Awe, Alice... You're the greatest!".
This was already messed up in the '50s, that's why people were absolutely *howling* at this show.
That doesn't make sense. Why would you howl at something messed up?

"I don't do it! Norton doesn't do it! My grandmother never did it!" is my favorite quote from all the episodes.

No you're wrong
That damn mambo always causing trouble
This was the freakin best show back then! I was just a kid, but couldn’t wait to see it every week!
The funny thing is their Flintstones counterparts never had Fred once threaten to beat Wilma.
Well Fred was a caveman, so (at least according to cartoons) their wedding would have consisted of him clubbing her over the head and dragging her back to his cave by the hair...
As for Ralph, not only would he never hit Alice, she has all the power in the relationship. Which is why he vents his frustration through empty threats. She knows she's his whole world and he's nothing without her; that's why she dismisses his bluster with an "Ahhh, SHADDUP!"
They'd threaten to leave or kick out the other. "Out Wilma! O-U-T Out!".
Tuna, what am I cat or something? Love that show
There's no ways this show is legal in 2019.
Should be
A lot of things in America are better than they used to be in the 50s stop this member shit
Yeah it is
@@FingerSpazm xD
I'm pretty sure this was to parody people like that and get couples to understand how toxic they were while laughing. of not that's the message I got. Funny and reflective on some people's marriages I know
Ralph: "I forgot you were a woman? How could I?! You're always yappin!" Savage!! XD

Wow, not until I got to be 30, did I realize how hot Alice was!
Lol I know right? When I was a kid and my dad used to watch this show, she just looked old as hell. Hell, I probably would have thought the same thing in my 20's. Now she's smoking!
How old are you now
Yep! It's that age-old sitcom trope, with the hot wife and the overweight brute of a husband. The Honeymooners, The Simpsons, Family Guy, King of Queens, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, The Flintstones... I think it pretty much started with The Honeymooners, since a lot of those other shows take inspiration from that show.
They never really explain why she's with him, because usually he's an idiot and she seems pretty annoyed by him all the time. There's probably a good explanation for why it's so common, but other than the fact that the shows were written by men, I don't have an answer.
From the article linked below:
Meadows had auditioned for Gleason and was initially turned down for being too chic and pretty to play Alice. Realizing that she needed to change her appearance, Meadows the next day submitted a photo of herself, one in which she looked much plainer. Gleason changed his mind and she won the role of Alice.

It's so crazy because this was an actual show.
A damn good one too.

WOAH. George Constanza's character's mannerisms must have been heavily inspired by Ralph.
Chris Katko Except George isn’t threatening. Ralph is pretty scary here
@Sam Haas Scary? LMAO you gotta be kidding! Ralph's not exactly threatening with all his bluster. Alice never even took him seriously because she knows he's just being Ralphie boy :)
Hahaha I immediately thought the same thing! Could totally see George exclaiming “MAMBO!?” with the half dance move lol
@@galleryofrogues hahaha scary? You must’ve never had a man argue with you before
one thing about couples back then they lasted, my grandmother and grandfather were like this but in the end it made them stronger and they loved each other to the end
Same with my grandparents. They’re both in their mid 80s now, married over 65 years. They still pick on each other to this day and it’s hilariously cute lol
Poor bastard. No they didn't. It was all a show.
Maybe because if she left she's be ostracized/beaten
"Your Mambo days are over. You want to wiggle? Wiggle over to the stove and get my supper." LOL, classic!.
OSHbots, easily in my Top 10 episodes of the original 39 made in the one season, 1955-56. A shame Gleason did not let his great writers try a 2nd season. He said he was afraid the quality would decline after those first 39, so he cancelled his own terrific series.
LOL!!!!
I'm dying lmfao
Still, the absolute funniest is when Ralph imitates the dance moves 😆😆😆
"Get it yourself" deserved a lot more applause than it got

Just listen to the amount of dialogue Gleason had to go through at speed ! He had a photographic memory where he looked at the script and said ', got it !' Quite remarkable gifts . Don't forget too all of the other cast members had to be on their toes by knowing the entire script backwards as Jackie was known to skip lines occasionally ... Brilliant acting all round !
A lot of it was improvised. He hated scripts.

Watch this and try to imagine it without audience.

I did and lmao'd hard because the show is actually funny unlike something like seinfeld where it doesnt get me to give a giggle without itst laugh track
@@Rika_Noodle He busts his ass all day to find his wife doing the mambo home instead of a hot meal
The setting of this show is that both of them are just struggling to get by and they’re always neck and neck. But in the end they make ends meet. Everything is meant like a joke, don’t take it so seriously.
That's literally any show on tv.
Before criticizing the show too harshly based on this scene, please watch the whole episode. You may not be surprised by what happens in the middle, but the twist at the end is very, thought-provoking. And it was a different time, whether it was a worse time than today is open to debate...
No its not open for debate. When this episode aired America was segregated.
@@wmascolin and?
@@wmascolin and it seems the same people that were the victims of segregation want it back again.
One of the things I love best about this show, aside from watching Ralph and Alice dishing it out, is that in the end they always kiss and make up. This show is great
You gonna do the mumba, but its gonna be on the moon!! Love it
I love this guy. Al Bundy of his generation. They don’t make shows this good anymore. This had me falling out of my seat laughing 😂
I like when Norton walks in at the wrong time.They play it off.Ralph acknowledges his presence and later so does Alice.Nowadays,they would have started over.Then again,you can't compare genius with mediocrity.
Oh wow I had no idea that was a mistake
@@Scrimparmy Because they were professionals they just went with it!
@@jeffreygranger6913 makes sense haha it looked so out of place but that’s what added to the humor of it. Also I see that Larry david was definitely inspired by the Honeymooners. The neighbor walk in reminds of Kramer and the way John Goodman exaggerates his movements when he’s angry is similar to George. So cool to see. I need to see more episodes

No sabía que los astronautas fueran gordos 😂😂😂
I'm just going to say it: If Ralph had been successful in putting his foot down we probably would never have had 'Mambo Number 5'
Which version of the song?
The idea of this type comedy is to show Ralph as a Lovable Loser. Hollering at his wife, coming up with get-rich-quick schemes, he failed at etc. He was Iconic Lovable Loser and people loved it Men and Woman.
I think thats what people forget. They see that the show was from the 50s, that they let him say what he says in the episodes, and assume that everyone was
1) threatening to hit their wives
2) thought this was funny
3) would actually go through with it
But half the humor of the show is he's too much of a loser to ever follow through with it. He's all bluster. He's a putz. And what more, the audience CLAPPED when Alice describes a gentleman.
Pretty much every episode ended with Ralph putting his arms around Alice, "Baby, you're the greatest!"
I think people nowadays forget that you’re not supposed to laugh WITH him you’re supposed to laugh AT him and Jackie understood and demonstrated it beautifully
I looked up this from the Futurama joke. Where Fry says that Ralph used a phrase to someday be on the moon as a metaphor for beating up Alice.
"I forget that you're a woman? How could I you're always yappin". The delivery of that line by Jackie is pure heaven! Greatest male comedy characters ever: Ralph Kramden, Archie Bunker, George Jefferson, Fred G. Sanford, Dan Fielding, John Becker, Martin Payne, Alex P. Keaton, George Costanza and Al Bundy.
its honest and from the heart... i mean come on; have you had a gf or wife lol
Man, you named the who's who greatest sitcom comedies

I grew up when this show was on CBSTV. These episodes were recorded and shown on TV in 1952...Great Hilarious stuff with a iconic Comedian Jackie Gleason, Art Carney, and Audrey Meadows
52 it was a sketch on the variety show in 55 it was spun off into a 30 min sitcom
@@arame29 that's right it was comedy sketch first from Jackie Gleasons Tv Variety Shows from 1951 to 1955 in 1955 became a half hour sitcom and then came back as a comedy sketch in his TV Variety Show in The Fall of 1956 to The Spring and Summer of 1957 so yep
Idk why but the way he acts and his mannerisms remind me of Josh from Drake and Josh lol

Everyone else trying to politicize a show from the 50s and I'm just sitting here giggling at the show.
you get it thank god
Because nowadays that comedy is considered domestic abuse so congrats, you're giggling at what's seen in the 21st century as a guy who emotionally abuses his wife. Classy.
@@MTBR077 this was a show from the 1950's. The show was satire, a comedy poking fun and is absolute exaggeration. This is not promotion of domestic abuse, but to show the absurdity of it. I feel like that is something that you should be able to understand because we live in the 21st century and that women are not looked in that light anymore. Its a joke, comedy and nothing more. Hell, this show could have possibly helped women get out of the light of only being baby machines and cooks because it poked fun of the ridiculousness of that notion.
@@jeffryan6152 I'm not ignorant to the fact that this show was a satire from another era. I'm concerned that a person from this day and age finds the abuse funny. Please find someone that actually misunderstands the show to give your *brilliant* explanation to.
Jeff Ryan it's funny af imo because comedy is subjective, which this guy doesn't understand apparently. Too busy white knighting and telling people what's right and wrong as if they don't already know.

@@renataaholcomb9929 Not trying to prove anything. You said there was no reality TV in the 1950s. I thought you must have a reason for knowing that so I asked if you were there back then. How is that ignorant? What was I ignoring? What were you trying to prove with your original comment? You got very snappy. I wonder what the reason for that is?
@@dannyspelman1468 The reason it is ignorant is because if I were born in the 50s that would make me approximately 60 to 70 years old. Do I look like an elder? Do I look like I owe you an explanation of why I made a comment on a public forum, in which I wasn't talking to you? Am I being bitter or is that you making an assumption that cannot be validated? Did I cuss at You? No, I simply asked what point are you trying to prove, a point that you have yet to state even though this is your second time @ me. Does it look like I care about your offense? If it does... I apologize, because I do not.
True comedy that will never be surpassed.
Alice knew not only how to stand up for herself, (which contrary to popular opinion by the unknowing happened way more than is ever portrayed about those times. I know because I grew up in those times and my mom was one of them), but knows how to dish it out, too.
My old man LOVED the honeymooners and we would often watch it together. Great memories.
È veramente bravo a ballare
This shit is hilarious 🤣
But what if there wasn't laugh tracks?
Many would say this is misogynistic but it isn't. Is actually teaching the opposite. When she says that Carlos is a gentleman and that Ralph forgot that she was a woman is the point of the lesson. That's the show telling men watching at home "Don't forget your wife is a woman and that she's not not personal slave. The way you are probably treating her is not the way a gentleman would treat her". Anyone who thinks this is teaching men to be misogynists doesn't have common sense.
THANK YOU
Seriously. It’s kinda obvious that he’s in the wrong here?
To this day I have no idea how Art Carney was able to stand there and not break character. And that is exactly what he did, because Jackie Gleason insisted that each scene be shot in one take, no matter what happened.
How cool to know that. I also loved the JACKIE GLEASON SHOW.
It's the fifties it's The Honeymooners it's a TV sitcom. Lighten up
Was that aimed at anyone specifically? Because I haven't seen a single complaint, or angry comment.
@@aaronwinrock8164 On some clips there are.

And that The Honeymooners came from The Jackie Gleason's Variety Shows from 1952 to 1955. At first it was just a Comedy Sketch and then became a 30 minute Comedy Situation in The Fall of 1955 to Summer 1956 there was another show that Jackie Gleason Produce was a 30 minute Variety Show Called Stage Show with The Dorsey Brother's and The June Taylor Dancers that came out in The Fall of 1955 to The Summer of 1956 but in The Fall of 1956 came back with The Jackie Gleason Show but anyways there's alots of history that cover from Jackie Gleason Career but yeah The Honeymooners is a Comedy the way I look at this is that Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton is the big kids and there wives are their mothers lol try not to take this to serious for the most part it's great comedy that can't not be replaced at all but yeah
Growing up our folks had a black and white tv! 2-3 channels if you were lucky! Entire family enjoyed it!
Now! GET MY SUPPER Lmao
I've seen lots of programmes make reference to this, but this is the first time I've seen anything from the programme itself. It's actually pretty funny. Makes me want to seek out full episodes.
It's only the greatest show of all time by a mile
@@anthonymatteo3016 This doesn't get shown over here. It's a shame because it's pretty entertaining.
Watch them. The episodes are free
For anyone who possesses the perceptive capacity of a child and perceives Ralph to be the protagonist/raisonneur here, the entire subtext of this scene is that Ralph is a selfish, myopic ass without class and Alice simply wants the respect that any human being deserves. It was purposefully structured that way by the writers because there's humor in subtlety. The premise is very similar to what Stephen Colbert did for years when he was still on the colbert report, when his entire persona on that show was supposed to be a quasi-accurate representation of the type of person his viewing audience strongly disliked and enjoyed mocking.
Spot on my man
Imagine, people used to understand all this without having to have it explained to them. Society is really getting stupider.
Damn are you right ralph is an asshole
