FAVORITE QUOTES: The Flintstones

[dynoguy88]

I think the writing on the Flintstones was very good with many classic lines and quotes. Which ones made you crack up the most? Here are a few of my favorites -

-------------------------------------------------------

FRED DOUBLE: Yes, yes, yes!

BARNEY DOUBLE: No, no, no!

-------------------------------------------------------

DOCTOR: Hot water! Hot water! I need hot water!

FRED: Dr. Rockpile, is it for Wilma's baby?!?!?!?

DOCTOR: No!! I'm making tea!

--------------------------------------------------------

WILMA: I don't believe it. A solid month of cowboy songs. We must have been out of our minds to let Fred and Barney talk us into coming up here.

BETTY: Maybe we can give them back to the Indians.

WILMA: If the Indians hear them sing, they won't take them back.

---------------------------------------------------------

(Fred is stuck in the Gruesome's man eating plant)

FRED: Hey!!! Help!!! Let me out of here!!!!!!!

WIERDLY: I don't understand. He already had a big dinner.

BARNEY: Well, maybe he's eating Fred for dessert.

---------------------------------------------------------

FRED: Hello Doctor?!?!?!? This is Fred Hospital, I'm bringing my wife to the Flintstone!!!!!

---------------------------------------------------------

FRED: Wilma! Stop crying Wilma!! The neighbors will think I'm beating you!!!

---------------------------------------------------------

WILMA: Fred and I have a very equal relationship. He has 50% of the fun and I have 50% of the work.

"Yabba-Dabba-Doo!" (of course; Fred's catch phrase, which by the way was an
ad-lib by Alan Reed; the scripted line was "Yahoo!")

"Droll ... VERY DROLL!" (another of Fred's catch phrases)

FRED: BETTY? BARNEY?? What are YOU doing here?
BARNEY: You tell us...it's your dream!!!


And, from "The Most Beautiful Baby In Bedrock"...

BARNEY: (as Fred is chasing him in his car) If you lost 25 pounds, you'd STILL have the fattest head in town!!

[as Betty wonders who he's talking to..]

That was always my favorite too, Barney was cool. I always liked his "I'm wich you Fred".

[MickeyMac]

From "Hot Lips Hannigan"


Hotlips (to Wilma and Betty who are dressed up as beatnick chicks) "Scibby do wow wow wow, contact


Wilma bashes him over the head with her purse and says "There's some contact for you, you ole goat face"

I have been laughing at that line since I was a kid.

[McGillicuddy]

I like when Fred goes to alot of trouble to disguise himself, (I don't remember why) and he's like, "nobody will recognize me now". Then in the next scene, he's walking past Barney who casually says "Hi'ya Fred!" I don't know why but I always thought that was hilarious!

[MickeyMac]

Fred: I stop growing years ago


Wilma: Not sideways you havent.

[kooky12]

In the episode where Fred wins a spot in a movie and needs to say "Pass the Poi".

The cameraman is directed to film the totem pole, but he first aims the camera at Fred dressed up to be a movie star:

"Put the camera over there on that funny looking thing"
"No, the other funny looking thing"
Cameraman: "Well I think the first thing is funnier-looking, but you're the boss"

Fred Flintstone: Yabba Dabba Do!
