Fred Flintstone

“
Yabba-Dabba-Dooo aaaaugh!!!
”

—Fred Flintstone, *Learning With Pibby: Apocalypse*

* **Frederick J.** "**Fred**" **Flintstone**, once known as **Fred W. Flintstone**, is the protagonist of the original series, *The Flintstones*. He is an old man that served as a crane operator for the Slate Rock and Gravel Company.

As the Darkness reached out to different universes, Fred was infected by it, becoming a monster.

## Appearance

### Body

Fred is a chubby but handsome caveman with fair skin, tan beard stubbles, black hair, thick black eyebrows and a large nose.

### Clothing

He wears a raggedy, a deep sky blue or an aqua teal-green necktie and a short-sleeved orange and black-spotted loin cloth with a torn hemline.

## Personality

Fred's personality was based on that of Ralph Kramden of the 1950s television series *The Honeymooners* and Chester A. Riley from *The Life of Riley*. Hence Fred tending to be loud-mouthed, offensive, and constantly scheming ways to improve his family's working class lot in life, often with unintended results. George Jetsons of *The Jetsons* also has a similar personality based on Fred Flintstone.

Due to his impulsive, bellicose, childish, insane and ill-tempered behavior and obstinate and naive nature, Fred Flintstone seems to be accident-prone. He is able to create the biggest bewilderment, even with the most innocent and mundane action.

Fred is mainly a kind-hearted and selfless man, although he gets mad and aggravated quite a lot, usually when his immature friend Barney pesters and bugs Fred, or even laughs at him by going. Other than that, Fred can have other emotions too. His laugh is "Ho, heh, he, he, he, he". He starts crying in some episodes, like "*The Babysitters*", when Barney tears up the tickets, in "*Dino Disappears*", when Dino runs away, and "*The House That Fred Built*", when Fred discovers that 1,000 bucks down the drain wasn't funny anymore.
