1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, December 30, 2000

This review is from: Jackie Gleason's Honeybloopers [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I bought this tape for my parents for Christmas based on the previous reviewer's comments, and I'm afraid that we all strongly disagree. First of all, 80-90% of the tape has nothing to do with the Honeymooners show; there are instead clips from Jackie Gleason's variety show. Second, these are not "bloopers" such as props falling or the cast members making funny slip ups or anything like that. As the clips are shown there is a narrator trying to explain what is going on, but it is not very funny at all. I say watch the original shows instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars A showcase of the comedic genius of Gleason and Carney, June 8, 2011

This review is from: Jackie Gleason's Honeybloopers [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The comedic genius of Jackie Gleason and Art Carney were never more evident than in this tape of bloopers from the classic "Honeymooners" television show. It was live television, so when something didn't go right, it was up to the performers to ad lib their way through the scene. Props failed, people flubbed their lines and actors and actresses tripped and slipped, yet the show HAD to go on, and it did.
As blooper tapes go, this is one of the best, because the unforeseen modifications to the action are often funnier than what was intended would have been. Gleason's ability to use a facial expression to drag out a scene is a perfect contrast to the stoic poker face of Carney, who was more than a sidekick in their comedic banter. Although it is a bit grainy, this tape demonstrates comedians at their best, making it up as they go.
