“Bang! Zoom!” Was Never In The Script
Ralph Kramden’s popular phrase”Bang! Zoom!” might have been a saying that became synonymous with The Honeymooners, but that phrase was never written into any of the scripts. Due to Jackie Gleason’s stellar improv skills, he always came up with the “Bang! Zoom!” phrase, and would insert it spontaneously when he thought the moment called for it.
The phrase cracked up audiences and became one of those phrases that viewers repeated for decades to come. Additionally, another famous phrase, “Pow! Right in the kisser!” was repeated just once in all 39 episodes, but that also became synonymous with the show.
