"What's a rerun?"
The Honeymooners is a television show humans (and some Cybertronians) watch.
Fiction
[edit]Marvel The Transformers comics
[edit]Events from the US portion of the Marvel Comics continuity are in italics.
While watching various television programmes to learn more about the humans on Earth, Shockwave observed a scene from The Honeymooners in which Ralphie-Boy had to hide his spending habits from Alice. Shockwave considered the programmes "illuminating" and "primitive". The New Order
In a later scene, Ralphie-Boy defiantly declared himself both master of the household and king of the castle. The New Order
The Transformers cartoon
[edit]The Honeymooners seemed to be watched on Junkion; when Nancy was blown up in a battle and instantly re-assembled herself, Wreck-Gar cheered "Baby, you're the greatest!" The Big Broadcast of 2006
Notes
[edit]- The Honeymooners was an incredibly influential 1950s sitcom; pictured are the characters Ed Norton (Art Carney), Ralphie Kramden (Jackie Gleason), and his wife Alice (Audrey Meadows).
- The show's distinctive characters have provided vocal inspiration throughout animation history, and we're not just talking The Flintstones:
- The Transformers voice actor Michael Chain based his voice for Powerglide on Jackie Gleason; resultantly, Powerglide gets to paraphrase Ralph's catchphrases in dialogue, including "And awaaaay we go!" in "The Girl Who Loved Powerglide" and "Bang, zoom, to the Moon!" in "Blaster Blues".
- For the Beast Wars script reading "Visitations", voice actors Garry Chalk and Scott McNeil colluded to pattern their characters Onyx Primal and Packrat after Ralph and Ed respectively.
- In the Robots in Disguise cartoon, Drag Strip's portrayal owes something to Ralph—frequently uttering his threatening catchphrase "One of these days..."—while Drag Strip's Stunticon partner-in-crime Wildbreak completes the double act by being inspired by Ed.
- This wouldn't be the last time a television program gave Transformers a low opinion of humans, as shown in "The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2".
- In the British comic, Shockwave instead watches a scene from V.
