Because we didn't have PVRs back then. I probably did notice something but then forgot about it, since I couldn't rewind and confirm. Today, I would completely ruin shows like this for myself.
13", B&W, Low Def made things a LOT less obvious - especially the color errors. Though as a kid I did notice the continuity errors - especially the car constantly changing, and it was hard to miss Dino going from Snorkasaurus to "Dino Dog".
Fred's car ALWAYS changed throughout the series. From being a convertible, switching back and forth between having a back seat and being a two seater and the steering wheel switching sides.
It's not an animation error but, I've always wondered why in some episodes Fred complains about running out of gas in the car. If their vehicles are powered by the drivers and passengers with their feet, why in the world do they need gas?
Rockhead and Quarry construction company had been mismanaged for years, was losing money and barely covering costs. After assessing their portfolios, they decided accept The Bedrock Gravel Company's bid to purchase the company for $150 million clam slabs. Hope this helps.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the creepy image from the original closing credits, where a sleeping Wilma has no mouth, not just for one frame but for the whole bedroom scene. 😨
As a child, watching those episodes where Barney was voiced by Daws Butler was a real trip because his Barney voice was also his Yogi Bear voice. Also his Ed Morton voice in the Warner Brothers Honey-Mousers cartoon.
There ARE differences in the voices you mentioned, but yes, they all came from the mouth of my old friend and mentor, Daws Butler. Without him, there wouldn’t have BEEN a Hanna-Barbera Productions. When that company started, Daws did ALL the voices!
I hope you all have fun watching my latest video on the Flintstones. The show is still fun to watch today even if there are a few rare goofs here and there.
Awesome video! It’s funny that I remember as a kid The Flintstones, was a prime time cartoon as was The Jetsons , most people now only remember them as reruns etc. Jonny Quest was my favorite though and I know that Cartoon Network or FX did that show for awhile that was basically Jonny Quest for adults, formthe life of me I can’t remember the name of it! Years ago I wished they would have made a new Jonny Quest even a live action version, but they’d probably ruin it now!!
I think the only non profile shot of Fred was when he was driving down a One Way Street. I don't remember the whole episode, but either Fred or Barney was spelling out the sign.."O Nee Way" Did you ever notice that front face shot of Fred?
I knew a girl in high school in the 80s that had a very "long" house. It was huge (her dad was a doctor) but it was built on a pie shaped lot in the rich neighborhood so it was an oddly shaped place. We called it the Flintstone house because if you came in the front door, there was a long, narrow hallway that rant along the garage, then the big kitchen opened up to the right, then the eat in area of the kitchen, then the dining room proper then a step down to the "great room" at the rear - had to be 100 feet or more that you could see from the front door to the rear window. After a few beers my buddy would run back and forth shouting Flintstone's style lines. Never failed to get a laugh.
@@MrBROTHERFELDER Well, at least without a mouth she couldn’t be found smoking in bed!….while we’re at that subject, it’s interesting that characters from The Flintstones originally were shown in ads sponsoring Winston and other cigarettes, but ironically Yogi and Boo Boo years later were in a public services ad banning smoking. Just to refresh our memories, it’s the one with the guy “puffing his fool head off” and as animation would have it, his head actually comes off and bounces! A humorous yet effective way to get the point across to youngsters.
5:35 Barney DOESN'T become Fred here. If you look at the nose shape it's STILL Barney, they just colored him like Fred in that cell. There's no tie like Fred wears, and his nose is long and thin, not short and fat like Fred's. It's just a miscolored Barney.
These are great, tvcrazyman! There were so many simple goofs throughout the series you could do a part two and three easily! The one about Fred's head (and the monkey's arm) was described in the great notes the Columbia House VHS series I used to have along with Dino's snout being all one color in the episode where Fred and Barney are driving away from a baby photography client! Also in the diner "Charlie and Irving" episode and both couples are dressed up to go out to dinner, Betty and Wilma's dresses are the opposite colors at first and then switch back! Okay, one more! In the one where Betty poses as an old lady to work for who she thinks is another elderly lady her name is "Miss Rubble". But for the last job with her she hurriedly says her name is "Mrs O'Lady" the joke name she gave herself when she was trying on the outfit for the first time with Wilma! Haha!
The first 10 seasons of the simpsons are classic As for Flintstones the whole 7 years are classics. Love when tools or machines aren’t happy and complain.
Geez can’t believe all the animation mistakes. As a kid I remember wondering why some episodes Barney’s eyes were little circles and some episodes they were filled in. And I remember the voice change too but never knew why until now. Enjoyed the video.
Glad I read this! I could have sworn the same thing as a kid. I remember seeing some episodes where for a few frames or so, Barney had white eyes with pupils, similar to the way Fred or Betty were drawn.
The writers of most shows create their own plotholes like this. In the Flintstones, Mr. Slate is Barney's uncle but in later episodes they treat each others like strangers.
I always noticed the Wilma-Betty voice swap. Eerie. There was a similar example to Fred's head disappearance: in an episode (I think early season 3) where the wives were walking away from the store they were just in, and Wilma's entire head also vanished for a second. Season 1's Judo lessons episode, "The Prowler", there's a moment. Initially, after Wilma throws Fred through a wall, her head pops out, smiling that she "got" Fred. When she realizes the actual prowler was there, too, she screamed and ducked back in, frightened. Only just before her head was all inside, the earlier smile returned to her face! In the same episode, it was its animator's 1st one (each animator early on had a rougher-drawn episode than the rest) and Barney's original high-pitched was still there. But this one, later in the continuity than the others, had a sequence where the drawing was more late-season, and Barney's voice was further along in development (before Blanc's accident!) to deeper. Presumably, the episode wasn't finished until later in the season. By season's end, multiple animators doing sequences within episodes was the norm. I could always tell the different styles as a kid (mid '60s-mid-'70s).
Awesome vid. I love neat stuff like this. Over the years, I've noted the following home addresses for The Flintstones in the original series: 201 Cobblestone Lane 345 Stone Cave Road 39 Stone Canyon Way 35 Cobblestone road 323 Cobblestone lane And as for where Fred works, I've picked up on the following: Cave Construction Co Slate Sand & Gravel Co. Rock Quarry and Construction co Rockdome Inc. Bedrock Gravel Co. Yabba-dabba Doo!!🙂
Awesome! I wonder, maybe they just kept changing the name of the company because the owners of the company kept changing or something, but Slate was always in charge. Funny how the creators of the Flintstones kept changing the names and addresses though.
The episode where Fred was surfing, got in trouble, and was saved by Wilma - I think there was a mistake with the animation of Fred's wide - open mouth and the dock piers as Fred and Wilma come straight at you. There were also scenes of Fred and Barney talking as they were riding in Fred's car where they constantly keep going past the same three buildings, over and over again.
Great video! Curious to know if you have a part 2 in the planning. If you do, you can mention one big goof in The Drive In. In the nightclub scene, Wilma is wearing a blue dress and Betty is wearing a white dress. As they get up to excuse themselves, suddenly, Wilma’s dress turns back to white and Betty’s dress turns back to blue! In Fred El Terrifico, Wilma, Betty and Barney each purchase sombreros in a store. When they’re watching a bullfight in a stadium, they’re all wearing different colored sombreros. Maybe they exchanged them before the bullfight. Also in Season 1, Barney’s original voice was different. Betty’s voice was different in Season 5, as Gerry Johnson took over the role.
Holy crap! I remember noticing Fred's head disappear as a child, but nobody believed me! I thought I was crazy! Thank you for confirming childhood me wasn't insane.
I remember watching The Flintstones during the 1060s and to this day no one has ever come up with a logical explanation. How does the wheel stay on the back of Fred's car? lol
Talking Human intelligent Dino vs Dog Dino always cracked me up. Kind of like the animators weren't sure if they wanted to go with something like Disney's Goofy or Pluto
I think that talking Dino was based on Phil Silvers and was voiced by Daws.H-B definitely decided that Dino was better dog-like and had Mel voice the barks.
@@Savannah_Simpson False teachers like that don’t realize that the Genesis account is referring to 7 CREATIVE “days” (or time periods), some of which could have lasted for millenniums. The Bible agrees with TRUE science.
There is another goof where Wilma wears a blue formal dress and Betty wears a white one at a fancy restaurant,then the colors switch just before they humiliate Fred and Barney when they sing that Carhop song.
As long as we’re at it, I guess they thought her white dress wasn’t interesting enough for the feature “The Man Called Flintstone” in which it is a light purple.
There is a scene in an airport on where Fred is talking to an airline officer, I think is the one on which they go to Texarock, when the officer answers a question his mouth and beard shade disappears for a moment.
According to Rod Serling's daughter her dad loved The Flintstones. It was a show he always made time to watch with her.. so the Twilight Zone clips are kinda fitting.
As kids in the 70's we had an ongoing contest who could find the most mistakes in cartoons, tv shows, movies, etc. Here's another one I noticed in this series of clips. At the 30 second mark with the car and the cop, the axle for the car is in the wood behind the V at the front. In all subsequent scenes with it, the axle is in the crotch of the V. Also, there's nothing holding the axle in the V - it would fall right out so actually the first version was physically correct. Honorable mentions: the perspective of the cop in the scene is completely off. His body appears to be behind the V of the car on the far side, yet his feet appear to be on the opposite side of the car. Either that or it's floating in mid air for no reason. Back to the bus. If everybody needs to run to propel it, why isn't Fred still running in the other scenes. How does the bus move when there's no riders and just the driver to propel it? How do all the vehicles stay moving after they stop pushing it? How do they turn when they have a single wheel and no giant cut-out in the body for it to move? Oh, that's right, it's just a stupid cartoon - stop overthinking it... We couldn't help ourselves... it was a fun game!
As a kid I'd either watch this on a 19-in color TV or a 12-in black and white.. HD TV did not exist and the signal usually wasn't 100% clear due to reception issues so a lot of stuff I just didn't notice
3:28 I'm not sure if it's original animation or not as I haven't really seen much Flintstones before tbh but there's a 4th wall break regarding that in the CN Groovies video for Circles by Soul Coughing (which uses footage from The Flintstones along with other classic HB cartoons) where they realize that the background is just looping while they walk
Something that no one ever talks about ... I remember, as a very young child, watching Sesame Street, and even then, I noticed.... When the Cookie Monster ate the cookies, he never swallowed them. He would gobble up the cookies into crumbs, and the cookies would fall out of his mouth onto the table. I kept asking, "Why isn't he eating the cookies? He just spits them out." and no one ever answered me.
What about the episodes where Barney’s voice completely changes to a high pitch version? That period really threw me off! (It was like when Tweeky from Buck Rogers did the same)
You left out an episode from season 1 The Drive In where Wilma was wearing Betty's color Blue dress and Betty was wearing Wilma's color white dress Then at the tail end of the Burger On A Bun dance number Wilma color waitresses hat turned green from blue and Betty's hat turned blue from green.
You forgot one thing in regards to where Fred lived in Bedrock. In one episode, Fred is riding on a dinosaur bus when the bus driver says "Pebble Street. Next stop, Pebble Street" and Fred gets off the bus at that stop. No address number was given, but I thought I'd bring that up. That scene came from the twenty sixth episode of season one called "The Good Scout". Another thing you failed to mention were the closing credits goof during the time Bamm-Bamm came into the show. In the closing credits, Fred's car had Fred, Wilma, Pebbles, Dino, Baby Puss (who was rarely seen in the TV series), Barney, Betty and Bamm-Bamm, but when Fred's car stops at the drive-in, only Fred, Wilma and Pebbles, alongside their pets, are seen and that carries until they come home when Wilma carries Pebbles in the house and the melee of Fred putting out the cat follows with Fred getting thrown out a few seconds later by the cat. I thought I'd bring these up. I did subscribe and also, signed up for notifications. Please keep them coming. Thanks.
Baby Puss was apparently owned by The Flintstones, but in one episode at least The Rubbles we notice have a very different-looking “cat” and they even mention having to put it out at night in another episode.
@@Jaque1961 Blanc actually recorded some of Barney's dialogue while lying on his back in the hospital after the accident which he claimed caused the voice to sound different. So technically Barney had three voices--a healthy Blanc, a hospitalized Blanc, and Daws Butler.
Just a few of these I remember noticing as a child, but now I recollect explaining these away as only a child's imagination could. e.g. the car with and without a back seat? I just thought they had 2 cars! Didn't know about the Mel Blanc story - fascinating !!
Theory about the car: They have so many different parts for it, because it's a primitive car, Fred can put the extensions on or off as is needed. If he's out, no problem, he always has a pocket dimension in his butt 🤣
Thanks for this. The Flintstones were my favorite show growing up. I think it was Wednesday night. By the way, the black and white picture was so bad in those days that the cell seams were not noticeable.
I can imagine. Back in the 80's we had a small black and white tv in the kitchen on rabbit ears. There was a time there where it was the only TV that could pick up the channel the Adventures of Superman was coming on so I'd stand in the kitchen to watch it while occasionally readjusting the antenna.
With the poor resolution of 60’s tv sets, it’s quite unlikely that viewers noticed the fine line between Dino’s head and the rest of his body. That being said, that video is well-done and fun to watch. I subscribed! ❤
One of the most hilarious animation mistakes is in the original TMNT Cartoon where April O'Neil's head bobbles around wildly and looks like it almost comes completely off lol!😂😂😂
I grew up watching this beloved show, it was my first memories of TV, but even then as a preschool aged child it was equally as entertaining as frustrating because things just never made sense. There were times when everything was written on rocks but others when they used paper. And don’t get me started about the nonsensical use of animals. Just who would shower using water an elephant was blowing out his tusk or how any sound could come from a bird with its bill playing a record or how TVs made from solid rocks receive and display a picture?
As many times as I've watched The Flintstones over the last 55 years, I never noticed most of these things. Although I would argue two points. 1) My own house is only one story like Barney's but if you want to get in the window, you're STILL going to need a ladder. Unless you can jump high or are 7 or 8 feet tall! 2) Regarding the car trunk, early forms of car trunks, which were LITERALLY a trunk (just like Fred's) were in fact removable!
Here's one I noticed. In 'Ten Little Flintstones' where Fred is being harassed by ten alien clones of himself ("YABBA...DABBA...DO"), there's the scene where his attempt to lasso them goes awry and the clones end up running over him one by one...except instead of ten clones he gets stampeded by ELEVEN!!!!
We watched the Flintstones just before supper so our minds were too focused on upcoming pork chops or hamburgers to notice all these goofs. It’s cool to see these now. Thanks for all your meticulous searching.
The one thing that bugged me the most was in the ending credits when the cat would throw Fred out the window, and Fred bangs on the door screaming for "WILMAAAA!!!" to open it to let him back in. Why doesn't he just climb back through the window he just came out of? - I think Wilma's had multiple maiden names in different episodes. - Mr. Slate might've had multiple character designs. - My brother mentioned a little while ago after watching a Flintstones marathon that Joe Rockhead had a different design every time he appeared. Regarding the visible line between Dino's head and body, that's actually the reason a lot of HB characters have something around their neck: to hide that line. For example, this is why Yogi Bear has a collar and tie despite not wearing a shirt.
i noticed similar flaws when i bought the first season of "the rocky and bullwinkle show" on dvd. things, even body parts, would disappear and reappear out of nowhere. and in the first episode, i think it was the pilot, of "the andy griffith show" we learn that sherrif taylor and barney are cousins. its never mentioned again. they're relationship is changed to school boy chums. also on "the dick van dyke show" jerry helper's dentist office changes from in his house next door to down town nyc depending on the episode. thanks for the video.
I remember one scene where Fred was speaking, and his mouth didn’t move at all. ☺️ I don’t remember the name of the episode, but it’s where Fred was a building manager or something?
Talking about Fred’s car….in some episodes it has no roof at all. Also, Wilma and Betty at various times have their own car which is NEVER seen in either Fred’s or Barney’s garages.
5:01 I love this scene in the movie. The bus driver calls out, "Alright! All together folks!" And they all start running. Thing is, when they do this, a pneumatic hiss can be heard implying a hatch opened to allow them to reach the ground. Makes you wonder how the bus moves when empty, though.
I was just rewatching some of these old episodes and noticed some of what you mentioned, especially the different colors and character of Dino. One episode, Barny's face is drawn as Fred in a scene, but i can't remember which episode. One Episode I did notice lots of errors that you didn't mention was Season 1 Episode 13 The Drive In. In the final act of the show, Betty and Wilma are dressed up to go out and their dress colors keep changing. First, they are switched with Wilma in Betty's usual Blue and Betty in Wilma's usual white. Then they switch to their regular colors. Then they are in little hats, and the colors keep switching between them there too.
this is hilarious! I am not really detail oriented about bloopers and mistakes when watching shows, and never noticed this stuff. I guess some are continuity errors, but I mean the color and clothes and odd looking things, I never realised that’s so funny
The story is that the doctors would try to talk to Mel while he was in a coma but couldn't get him to respond. But then one of the doctors asked if they could speak to Bugs Bunny and Mel responded as Bugs.
Another story of Mel Blanc was he got pulled over for speeding one night. Cop looks at his licence and asks him if he's the guy with all the voices. Mel answers in Bug's voice and the cop told him that his kids would never let him live it down if he gave a ticket to Bugs Bunny so told Mel to just slow down a bit and be careful.
Hanna-Barbera was a poor man's Warner Brothers... and their story lines were ripped off from The Honeymooners which is cool because I love that show as well
Ahhh Flintstones classic they might not be perfect but damn we had fun and are still having fun rewatching them Thanks for the videos I spotted some mistakes but found new mistakes Thanks
When all doesn't agree just call it a parallel earth story like it was in The Flintstones and The Jetsons #16 The Return of Superstone it didn't agree with the TV episode so that's what someone was told why it didn't agree
I know the Simpsons have been on the air for over three decades, but The Flintstones will always be my favorite cartoon. Like you said, they had heart. I’ve read that the voice actors of The Flintstones were actually teary-eyed when they voiced the episode of Pebbles being born. Classic show.
Hi! The Flintstones was a milestone in cartoons, stepping away from fantasy talking dogs, cats birds and mice and gave us adults making fools of themselves for our fun benefit. One thing I always wondered, though: the intro song sings about the Flintstones being a "Modern stone-age family". We assumed it was the prehistoric Stone Age but ever since I heard about the theory that it might be a Future Stone Age, after a cataclysm, I'm not sure anymore... which is it? In one episode, they celebrate Christmas and in another, they visit the Grand Canyon which is a tiny stream to which Fred remarks: "Just give it a couple of million years"... Another great Hanna-Barbera great I love your videos about classic cartoons and was wondering if you could take a peek about a -cartoon- animated adventure of that period: *Jonny Quest* Man! That was not an animated adventure for the timid! It had memorable foes and monsters, panoramic opening landscapes and great character design. Could you please make a video about it? Thanks in advance!
I actually did a video on that theory - ruclips.net/video/G98okEg2-y8/видео.htmlsi=7lrkdzLVR1ZgiGTG as for Jonny Quest I'll had him to my list of video ideas. I have the DVD set. Watched the whole series straight through last year. About time to watch it again. Thanks for the idea.
3:14 Someone probably bought them out at one point. My uncle recently retired from a mining company that had gone through about five name changes in nearly as many decades.
The crazy thing about animation errors is that some of them are so blatantly obvious. Yet I swear when I was a kid, I never noticed a single one.
That's exactly what I was going to say. I watched each episode only about a million times each too.
And once you see them it never goes away. I tell people to avoid videos like this if you want to enjoy the show
@@daydreamer8662 Yup me too and probably didn't notice 99% of the errors!
Because we didn't have PVRs back then. I probably did notice something but then forgot about it, since I couldn't rewind and confirm. Today, I would completely ruin shows like this for myself.

Fred's car ALWAYS changed throughout the series. From being a convertible, switching back and forth between having a back seat and being a two seater and the steering wheel switching sides.
And a trunk, no trunk, a gas tank, no gas tank, has 2 doors that lock, no doors, foot powered, powered by dinosaurs.
It's not an animation error but, I've always wondered why in some episodes Fred complains about running out of gas in the car. If their vehicles are powered by the drivers and passengers with their feet, why in the world do they need gas?
1 of my favorite cartoons of all times
Rockhead and Quarry construction company had been mismanaged for years, was losing money and barely covering costs. After assessing their portfolios, they decided accept The Bedrock Gravel Company's bid to purchase the company for $150 million clam slabs. Hope this helps.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the creepy image from the original closing credits, where a sleeping Wilma has no mouth, not just for one frame but for the whole bedroom scene. 😨
I may add that in on my next upcoming compilation of TV goofs video for the 60s.
To the tune of the original theme “Rise and Shine”.
You missed a big error in the closing credits of the Flintstones. Wilma has no mouth.
yebbba debba do!

What I loved about the Flintstones, was the super long hallway of Fred's house.
Fred would walk through his house, and the hallway was always endless.
I knew a girl in high school in the 80s that had a very "long" house. It was huge (her dad was a doctor) but it was built on a pie shaped lot in the rich neighborhood so it was an oddly shaped place.

After a few beers my buddy would run back and forth shouting Flintstone's style lines. Never failed to get a laugh.
When the Flintstones first appeared we only had black and white tv, so the colour changes did not get noticed.
One you missed.
A scene with Wilma asleep in bed. She has no mouth.
Yes remember that
Yes-in the end credits of the first & second seasons, when the “Rise and Shine” theme was used.
If memory serves me, I believe it was because of some kind of caption that had been erased.
@@MrBROTHERFELDER Well, at least without a mouth she couldn’t be found smoking in bed!….while we’re at that subject, it’s interesting that characters from The Flintstones originally were shown in ads sponsoring Winston and other cigarettes, but ironically Yogi and Boo Boo years later were in a public services ad banning smoking.

@@anthonysimpsonanygoround8749 yep, I’m 62 years old and was there while this was happening.

I think cartoon bloopers are more fascinating than live action bloopers

Thanks
I'll take the Flintstones over the Simpsons ANYDAY!
The Simpsons would be nothing without the Flintstones! Matt Groening owes The Flintstones all the credit!
absolutely!
The first 10 seasons of the simpsons are classic
As for Flintstones the whole 7 years are classics.
Love when tools or machines aren’t happy and complain.
Great work! Thanks for creating!
Thanks, from a guy who grew up in the sixties watching The Flintstones on prime-time TV!
Appreciate it
I still watch and I'm almost 60. 💖
Again since all being made up characters and especially from the 60's all flaws will go unnoticed

Just like Andy and Barney being cousins and later forgotten

How about the Jetsons ?
That's a good one. I'll see what I can find. Jetsons was a favorite of mine back when I was a kid.

Awesome! I wonder, maybe they just kept changing the name of the company because the owners of the company kept changing or something, but Slate was always in charge. Funny how the creators of the Flintstones kept changing the names and addresses though.
@@tvcrazyman It was rumored that Hanna Barbera didn't give a crap about consistency, believe it or not.
@@christiangonzales7429 I can believe it.😀
I do remember Fred's arm blending in with his suit
The episode where Fred was surfing, got in trouble, and was saved by Wilma - I think there was a mistake with the animation of Fred's wide - open mouth and the dock piers as Fred and Wilma come straight at you. There were also scenes of Fred and Barney talking as they were riding in Fred's car where they constantly keep going past the same three buildings, over and over again.
This was my favourite show as a child. Mom says that whenever I'd fall down, I'd get up and say "Yabba-dabba-DOOO" 🤣💖🥰
Great video! Curious to know if you have a part 2 in the planning. If you do, you can mention one big goof in The Drive In. In the nightclub scene, Wilma is wearing a blue dress and Betty is wearing a white dress. As they get up to excuse themselves, suddenly, Wilma’s dress turns back to white and Betty’s dress turns back to blue! In Fred El Terrifico, Wilma, Betty and Barney each purchase sombreros in a store. When they’re watching a bullfight in a stadium, they’re all wearing different colored sombreros. Maybe they exchanged them before the bullfight. Also in Season 1, Barney’s original voice was different. Betty’s voice was different in Season 5, as Gerry Johnson took over the role.
Holy crap! I remember noticing Fred's head disappear as a child, but nobody believed me! I thought I was crazy! Thank you for confirming childhood me wasn't insane.
Makes no matter to me the Flintstones are still the best cartoon from a kid who grew up in the 1990's bring the Flintstones back
Hey this was my suggestion for the Flintstones video...Thanks 👍
I remember watching The Flintstones during the 1060s and to this day no one has ever come up with a logical explanation. How does the wheel stay on the back of Fred's car? lol
1060's?? Medivial TV!!😊
@@tonycanabal1659Normans took over England by distracting them with the Flintstones while they came across
Talking Human intelligent Dino vs Dog Dino always cracked me up. Kind of like the animators weren't sure if they wanted to go with something like Disney's Goofy or Pluto
I think that talking Dino was based on Phil Silvers and was voiced by Daws.H-B definitely decided that Dino was better dog-like and had Mel voice the barks.
In the early episodes, I remember when the sponsors were Winston cigarettes. The Flintstones even did the commercials.
There's a couple videos on you tube that show some of the Winston cigarette commercials.
As long as we’re talking continuity, this show had thousands of kids believing that humans & dinosaurs existed at the same time!
Kent Hovid never grew out of that phase.
@@Savannah_Simpson False teachers like that don’t realize that the Genesis account is referring to 7 CREATIVE “days” (or time periods), some of which could have lasted for millenniums. The Bible agrees with TRUE science.
In the closing credits of Season 1, Wilma is shown sleeping in bed, and her mouth is missing.
There is another goof where Wilma wears a blue formal dress and Betty wears a white one at a fancy restaurant,then the colors switch just before they humiliate Fred and Barney when they sing that Carhop song.
"Here we come, on the run with a burger on a bun..."
As long as we’re at it, I guess they thought her white dress wasn’t interesting enough for the feature “The Man Called Flintstone” in which it is a light purple.
There is a scene in an airport on where Fred is talking to an airline officer, I think is the one on which they go to Texarock, when the officer answers a question his mouth and beard shade disappears for a moment.
According to Rod Serling's daughter her dad loved The Flintstones. It was a show he always made time to watch with her.. so the Twilight Zone clips are kinda fitting.
As kids in the 70's we had an ongoing contest who could find the most mistakes in cartoons, tv shows, movies, etc. Here's another one I noticed in this series of clips. At the 30 second mark with the car and the cop, the axle for the car is in the wood behind the V at the front. In all subsequent scenes with it, the axle is in the crotch of the V. Also, there's nothing holding the axle in the V - it would fall right out so actually the first version was physically correct. Honorable mentions: the perspective of the cop in the scene is completely off. His body appears to be behind the V of the car on the far side, yet his feet appear to be on the opposite side of the car. Either that or it's floating in mid air for no reason. Back to the bus. If everybody needs to run to propel it, why isn't Fred still running in the other scenes. How does the bus move when there's no riders and just the driver to propel it? How do all the vehicles stay moving after they stop pushing it? How do they turn when they have a single wheel and no giant cut-out in the body for it to move? Oh, that's right, it's just a stupid cartoon - stop overthinking it... We couldn't help ourselves... it was a fun game!
As a kid I'd either watch this on a 19-in color TV or a 12-in black and white.. HD TV did not exist and the signal usually wasn't 100% clear due to reception issues so a lot of stuff I just didn't notice
3:28 I'm not sure if it's original animation or not as I haven't really seen much Flintstones before tbh but there's a 4th wall break regarding that in the CN Groovies video for Circles by Soul Coughing (which uses footage from The Flintstones along with other classic HB cartoons) where they realize that the background is just looping while they walk
Something that no one ever talks about ...
I remember, as a very young child, watching Sesame Street, and even then, I noticed....
When the Cookie Monster ate the cookies, he never swallowed them.
He would gobble up the cookies into crumbs, and the cookies would fall out of his mouth onto the table.
I kept asking, "Why isn't he eating the cookies? He just spits them out." and no one ever answered me.
Same!
Because he's a muppet 😁
The puppet does have an opening in the back of his mouth for eating things, but it’s rarely used from what I see
What about the episodes where Barney’s voice completely changes to a high pitch version? That period really threw me off! (It was like when Tweeky from Buck Rogers did the same)
You left out an episode from season 1 The Drive In where Wilma was wearing Betty's color Blue dress and Betty was wearing Wilma's color white dress Then at the tail end of the Burger On A Bun dance number Wilma color waitresses hat turned green from blue and Betty's hat turned blue from green.
Loved the show when I was young.
Totally missed all the bloopers.
I'm still surprised that I never noticed that Fred and Betty had pupils, while Barney and Wilma did not.
That's it. My childhood is ruined.
Some solutions: they moved streets, it's just the house we're more or less the same.
And maybe the corporation change names.
The Simpsons have a scene where they show how the background animation is often repeated.
You forgot one thing in regards to where Fred lived in Bedrock. In one episode, Fred is riding on a dinosaur bus when the bus driver says "Pebble Street. Next stop, Pebble Street" and Fred gets off the bus at that stop. No address number was given, but I thought I'd bring that up. That scene came from the twenty sixth episode of season one called "The Good Scout". Another thing you failed to mention were the closing credits goof during the time Bamm-Bamm came into the show. In the closing credits, Fred's car had Fred, Wilma, Pebbles, Dino, Baby Puss (who was rarely seen in the TV series), Barney, Betty and Bamm-Bamm, but when Fred's car stops at the drive-in, only Fred, Wilma and Pebbles, alongside their pets, are seen and that carries until they come home when Wilma carries Pebbles in the house and the melee of Fred putting out the cat follows with Fred getting thrown out a few seconds later by the cat. I thought I'd bring these up.
I did subscribe and also, signed up for notifications. Please keep them coming. Thanks.
Thank, I appreciate it.
Baby Puss was apparently owned by The Flintstones, but in one episode at least The Rubbles we notice have a very different-looking “cat” and they even mention having to put it out at night in another episode.
Daws Butler was also the voice of Woody Woodpecker.
I always thought Barney’s voice was different for a short time.
It was. Mel Blanc had a serious car accident and could not play the part for a couple of months. Daws Butler filled in.
For the first few episodes, yes. Exactly what Jaque1961 said.
@@Jaque1961 Blanc actually recorded some of Barney's dialogue while lying on his back in the hospital after the accident which he claimed caused the voice to sound different. So technically Barney had three voices--a healthy Blanc, a hospitalized Blanc, and Daws Butler.
Just a few of these I remember noticing as a child, but now I recollect explaining these away as only a child's imagination could. e.g. the car with and without a back seat? I just thought they had 2 cars! Didn't know about the Mel Blanc story - fascinating !!
Don’t you wish YOUR car did what Fred’s does?
Theory about the car: They have so many different parts for it, because it's a primitive car, Fred can put the extensions on or off as is needed. If he's out, no problem, he always has a pocket dimension in his butt 🤣
I feel like binge watching the series again. Just reminds me so much of being a kid in the 70s and watching all these great cartoons.
I still watch. Not a bad way to forget some on the nonsense going on in the world.
I enjoyed this video so much, I laughed the whole time 😂🤣 I love the Flintstones 💕😍📺 Still watch the show 👍Thank you 👋
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks
Really Enjoyed This!
Appreciate it
Thanks for this. The Flintstones were my favorite show growing up. I think it was Wednesday night. By the way, the black and white picture was so bad in those days that the cell seams were not noticeable.
I can imagine. Back in the 80's we had a small black and white tv in the kitchen on rabbit ears. There was a time there where it was the only TV that could pick up the channel the Adventures of Superman was coming on so I'd stand in the kitchen to watch it while occasionally readjusting the antenna.
They don't make cartoon's like this anymore
Fred and Betty have the same eyes, and Wilma and Barney have the same eyes.
With the poor resolution of 60’s tv sets, it’s quite unlikely that viewers noticed the fine line between Dino’s head and the rest of his body. That being said, that video is well-done and fun to watch. I subscribed! ❤
Thanks
Flintstone bloopers that’s funny.
This was wonderful and amazing!
Thank you so much!
I was so young to even notice these things. There is a video of Fred and Barney promoting winston cigarettes..real commercial.
One of the most hilarious animation mistakes is in the original TMNT Cartoon where April O'Neil's head bobbles around wildly and looks like it almost comes completely off lol!😂😂😂
I grew up watching this beloved show, it was my first memories of TV, but even then as a preschool aged child it was equally as entertaining as frustrating because things just never made sense. There were times when everything was written on rocks but others when they used paper. And don’t get me started about the nonsensical use of animals. Just who would shower using water an elephant was blowing out his tusk or how any sound could come from a bird with its bill playing a record or how TVs made from solid rocks receive and display a picture?
..and weren't there TWO Mr. Slates?
I think so.
As many times as I've watched The Flintstones over the last 55 years, I never noticed most of these things.
Although I would argue two points. 1) My own house is only one story like Barney's but if you want to get in the window, you're STILL going to need a ladder. Unless you can jump high or are 7 or 8 feet tall! 2) Regarding the car trunk, early forms of car trunks, which were LITERALLY a trunk (just like Fred's) were in fact removable!
Here's one I noticed. In 'Ten Little Flintstones' where Fred is being harassed by ten alien clones of himself ("YABBA...DABBA...DO"), there's the scene where his attempt to lasso them goes awry and the clones end up running over him one by one...except instead of ten clones he gets stampeded by ELEVEN!!!!
We watched the Flintstones just before supper so our minds were too focused on upcoming pork chops or hamburgers to notice all these goofs. It’s cool to see these now. Thanks for all your meticulous searching.
The one thing that bugged me the most was in the ending credits when the cat would throw Fred out the window, and Fred bangs on the door screaming for "WILMAAAA!!!" to open it to let him back in. Why doesn't he just climb back through the window he just came out of?
- I think Wilma's had multiple maiden names in different episodes.
- Mr. Slate might've had multiple character designs.
- My brother mentioned a little while ago after watching a Flintstones marathon that Joe Rockhead had a different design every time he appeared.
Regarding the visible line between Dino's head and body, that's actually the reason a lot of HB characters have something around their neck: to hide that line. For example, this is why Yogi Bear has a collar and tie despite not wearing a shirt.
Another good one ☺️
Thanks love them all🥰
I suspect these shenanigans are the handy work of that snarky Great Gazoo!!
That would definitely explain a lot. That Gazoo was a trouble maker.😀
Great video!!! I always wondered about Barney’s cornet voice change. His looks too. Dino lol 😂
i noticed similar flaws when i bought the first season of "the rocky and bullwinkle show" on dvd. things, even body parts, would disappear and reappear out of nowhere. and in the first episode, i think it was the pilot, of "the andy griffith show" we learn that sherrif taylor and barney are cousins. its never mentioned again. they're relationship is changed to school boy chums. also on "the dick van dyke show" jerry helper's dentist office changes from in his house next door to down town nyc depending on the episode. thanks for the video.
I remember one scene where Fred was speaking, and his mouth didn’t move at all. ☺️
I don’t remember the name of the episode, but it’s where Fred was a building manager or something?
Talking about Fred’s car….in some episodes it has no roof at all. Also, Wilma and Betty at various times have their own car which is NEVER seen in either Fred’s or Barney’s garages.
5:01 I love this scene in the movie. The bus driver calls out, "Alright! All together folks!" And they all start running. Thing is, when they do this, a pneumatic hiss can be heard implying a hatch opened to allow them to reach the ground. Makes you wonder how the bus moves when empty, though.
I was just rewatching some of these old episodes and noticed some of what you mentioned, especially the different colors and character of Dino. One episode, Barny's face is drawn as Fred in a scene, but i can't remember which episode. One Episode I did notice lots of errors that you didn't mention was Season 1 Episode 13 The Drive In. In the final act of the show, Betty and Wilma are dressed up to go out and their dress colors keep changing. First, they are switched with Wilma in Betty's usual Blue and Betty in Wilma's usual white. Then they switch to their regular colors. Then they are in little hats, and the colors keep switching between them there too.
this is hilarious! I am not really detail oriented about bloopers and mistakes when watching shows, and never noticed this stuff. I guess some are continuity errors, but I mean the color and clothes and odd looking things, I never realised that’s so funny
Scooby Doo has a episode with Daphne voice coming out of Velma's mouth and the lines were completely wrong...I can't remember which episode it was.
These guys must have forgot to eat their Pebbles, because they clearly had rocks in their head when doing these
Betty was a blonde in an episode where she and Barney sing. After they are done her hair is black again.
I think that’s in the one about Rock Vegas, when they’re trying to help out the casino proprietor.
Hang in there.. you'll get many more subscribers.. people crave old memories..
Just need to get your channel out there more somehow.
Love this channel
Thanks, I appreciate it.
In the Flintstones opening, Wilma is in bed, on her side. But, her mouth is missing! It looks so strange. I wonder why they never fixed that.🤔
I always loved the Flintstones. And I still will, despite their bloopers. 😂
I always wondered how did fred steer his car there is no way he could turn that big front wheel.and how did the back wheel stay on??
Try spotting those on a standard def CRT TV tuned in by antenna. That was fun, but it does explain why most of us never noticed them.
When Mel Blanc came out of his post-accident coma, the first thing he said was "What's up, doc?" in Bugs Bunny voice.
The story is that the doctors would try to talk to Mel while he was in a coma but couldn't get him to respond. But then one of the doctors asked if they could speak to Bugs Bunny and Mel responded as Bugs.
Another story of Mel Blanc was he got pulled over for speeding one night. Cop looks at his licence and asks him if he's the guy with all the voices. Mel answers in Bug's voice and the cop told him that his kids would never let him live it down if he gave a ticket to Bugs Bunny so told Mel to just slow down a bit and be careful.
😂😂😂
Hanna-Barbera was a poor man's Warner Brothers... and their story lines were ripped off from The Honeymooners which is cool because I love that show as well
Ahhh Flintstones classic they might not be perfect but damn we had fun and are still having fun rewatching them
Thanks for the videos I spotted some mistakes but found new mistakes
Thanks
When all doesn't agree just call it a parallel earth story like it was in The Flintstones and The Jetsons #16 The Return of Superstone it didn't agree with the TV episode so that's what someone was told why it didn't agree
I know the Simpsons have been on the air for over three decades, but The Flintstones will always be my favorite cartoon. Like you said, they had heart. I’ve read that the voice actors of The Flintstones were actually teary-eyed when they voiced the episode of Pebbles being born. Classic show.
Hi!
The Flintstones was a milestone in cartoons, stepping away from fantasy talking dogs, cats birds and mice and gave us adults making fools of themselves for our fun benefit.
One thing I always wondered, though: the intro song sings about the Flintstones being a "Modern stone-age family". We assumed it was the prehistoric Stone Age but ever since I heard about the theory that it might be a Future Stone Age, after a cataclysm, I'm not sure anymore... which is it?
In one episode, they celebrate Christmas and in another, they visit the Grand Canyon which is a tiny stream to which Fred remarks: "Just give it a couple of million years"...
Another great Hanna-Barbera great
I love your videos about classic cartoons and was wondering if you could take a peek about a -cartoon- animated adventure of that period: *Jonny Quest*
Man! That was not an animated adventure for the timid!
It had memorable foes and monsters, panoramic opening landscapes and great character design.
Could you please make a video about it?
Thanks in advance!
I actually did a video on that theory - ruclips.net/video/G98okEg2-y8/видео.htmlsi=7lrkdzLVR1ZgiGTG as for Jonny Quest I'll had him to my list of video ideas. I have the DVD set. Watched the whole series straight through last year. About time to watch it again. Thanks for the idea.
"Modern stone-age family" just means they're a stone age family but they act like a modern American family.
3:14 Someone probably bought them out at one point. My uncle recently retired from a mining company that had gone through about five name changes in nearly as many decades.
