WITH FLOW

It's one of the two Comedic Archetypes present in this commercial: Denial. It's no coincidence that all of Seinfeld involved the cast trying to get their show made, only to fail. They get a deal, and the show ends with one final denial. Or take any teen sex romp - trying to get laid and failing.

The other Comedic Archetypes in this cartoon is Deception. The character creates repeated lies only to have the entire structure crash down around them.

Actually, no. At this point in the Flintstones chronology, the minerals necessary to make "Fruity Pebbles" are buried deep beneath the earth's surface, almost impossible to mine out without pain and/or death. Only the wealthy and privileged can enjoy the delicious taste of "Fruity Pebbles" cereal. It isn't until a meteor collides with the planet and kills off all the household appliances that these minerals are forced out of the ground. After the Flintstone and Rubble families survive the ensuing ice age and wrestle control of Bedrock away from the mysterious Mr. Post (which is revealed to be a freakish mutated hybrid of Dino and Mr. Slate- see the "Return of Fred" story arc), everyone can sit down and enjoy the cereal together.

spoiler alert much, quad9? The rest of the series is RUINED.

An awesome mongoloid.

All I sing is the fruity pebbles christmas song.

HO, HO-HO I'm HUH, HUH-HUNGRY

And I thought it was just me.

Santa Claus once convinced them to share.

Santa did the same thing for Cookie Crisp's Cookie Crook. Speaking of which, I have a clip to submit.

It happened sometimes in the original cartoon that Barney would be out of work, and Wilma would discover that the Rubbles hadn't had a square meal in weeks.

That was pretty much exactly what I was thinking watching this. "My name is (x) and I'm here to say..." is perhaps the most wack-ass intro in hip-hop history. It is only used by middle aged white dudes trying to write a COOL RAPPER.

I'll be damned. Apparently Miss Chiquita Banana innovated that rhyme way back in 1944.

Fishy Dribbles.

It's kind of AWESOME you mean. Not only was our generation subjected to it, but with fewer channels it was often the ONLY thing on.


There is no such thing as a good Hannah Barbara cartoon.

Tom and Jerry?

Space Ghost C2C is pretty awesome.

Lucky could always ask his cousin from the Leprechaun movies to deal with those kids.

Maybe it's like a prehistoric version of the Room, where his best friend (Barney) and his wife are both betraying him.
