We'll get to that in a minute.
This is a pretty standard early Honeymooners sketch. Alice gets chosen to be in a sink cleaner advertisement, and of course Ralph ruins everything. It's not the best Honeymooners you'll see, but it's packed with enough laughs to make the ten minutes worthwhile.
However, there is one part where we see something that I don't believe is on any other Honeymooners sketch or episode - Norton expressing very candidly how he feels about Alice's looks.
Ralph isn't home yet, and as always, Norton walks in and as usual he spends time with Alive even though Ralph isn't there. Now, Alice tells Norton about the ad, and after some banter, Norton finally says, "Alice, if you ever get your picture on a calendar, lemme have one will ya? Geee!" And then Norton makes a motion with his hand as if to signal 'Va va va voom!'
The live studio audience definitely took notice of Ralph's best friend flirting with his wife, and some audience members howled out their surprise and comedic approval with various "whoo whoo" calls. Alice smiled at Norton's gesture and loved it.
Trixie of course would not have liked all this one bit!
