Customer Reviews of The Honeymooners: Funniest Moments, Vol. 2

Timeless comedy
Sorry, but this is one of the all-time great comedies. Unlike today's comedy which relies very heavily on sexual themes and situations as their crutch, the Honeymooners are a breath of fresh air even after all these years. The comedy may be predictable, but only because this is where is started. They were the original. Ralph may have had a big mouth, but Alice and Co. always ended putting him in his place...or he would do it himself by putting his foot in his mouth. There's a very good reason why this show continues to thrive in syndication after almost fifty years...because it is very entertaining with broad appeal. I don't think you'll be seeing 99% of today's shows still on television in fifty years?

I WISH RALPHIE BOY & CO. WOULD STAY ON THE MOON!
"The Honeymooners" is stale, stagnant and just plain tiresome. The predictable lines that somehow gained staying power, e.g. "Ralphie Boy," "baby, you're the greatest," "bang! zoom!" and "hardy, har har" were nothing but trite little comments or noises. The worst of the mix was the dreaded "hommina." "Hommina" is as annoying as hearing a stick being dragged across canvas and did nothing to contribute to the show in a positive way.

I admit that I don't like "The Honeymooners." The thin plots, the tiresome lines and the claustrophobic little hole in the wall the Kramdens rarely ever leave get old fast. The characters are not appealing. Alice is rude, Ralphie Boy is a windbag, Norton is annoying and Trixie is deadwood. Chauvinism is common throughout the episodes.

Bang! Zoom! I wish they'd all just STAY on the moon!
