Wilma Flintstone (Character) - Comic Vine Wilma Flintstone 23 appearances The Wilma Flintstone wiki last edited by name_already_chosen on 09/11/14 11:25AM View full history Wilma Flintstone is the wife of Fred Flintstone and best friend of neighbors Betty and Barney Rubble. She is always seen wearing her pearl necklace and cavewife dress. She has beady black eyes. During the end credits of most episodes, Fred is locked out and she never hears him when he shouts for her. Her best friend is Betty Rubble , the wife of Fred's best friend, Barney Rubble . Though no age is ever given, all four of them appear to be somewhere in their late twenties in the original television series, adults but still a little unseasoned by life and occasionally prone to daydreams, fan crushes on popular movie stars, and youthful misadventures. Wilma is the more passionate and assertive of the four.

Her deep love for husband Fred is obvious, but she never hesitates to let him know when he has gone too far in one of his get-rich-quick schemes or has let his enthusiasm turn him into a bully where his best friend Barney is concerned. Her "mama bear" protectiveness has inspired her to punch out dinosaurs that have threatened her husband or daughter. Because the original Flintstones series is a parody of 1950s America as depicted in 1950s domestic sitcoms, Wilma has full social approval to break down into tears every once in a while when Fred has been particularly thoughtless or reckless. She is just as prone as anyone else her age to losing her temper, jumping to conclusions, and the occasional pang of jealousy that a young wife or husband might experience once in a while. Betty and she often tease their husbands whenever Fred and Barney become disastrously cocky or recklessly naive (a fairly common occurence in a domestic sitcom such as The Flintstones). In the original series continuity, Wilma Slaghoople and her best friend Betty Jean McBricker met their future husbands while working at a ritzy motel during one of their first summers after graduating from high school.

Her courtship with Fred was a tumultuous one as two dominant personalities learned to co-exist out of love for each other. In later continuities, the four of them have known each other since children. The Flintstones series have never really attempted to follow a single continuity, so both origins are probably true. During the original television series run, Wilma went through a pregnancy and eventually gave birth to Pebbles. In sequel television series, Wilma enters middle age (looking as youthful as ever) as daughter Pebbles Flintstone marries Bamm Bamm Rubble and, in one continuity, may have become a grandmother. Like all the "cave people" of The Flintstones series, Wilma easily performs feats of strength that are superhuman by modern standards, including punching out dinosaurs, and would appear to have a low level of invulnerability compared to a modern human being. (This greater strength and toughness has been vaguely alluded to the few times that the Flintstones and Rubbles have travelled into the future to the modern day or even past that to the retrofuturistic days of the Jetsons).

In the live-action film the Flintstones (1994), she is played by Elizabeth Perkins, whereas in the live-action film the Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas (2000), she is played by Kristen Johnston.

Barney Rubble | The Flintstones | Fandom powered by Wikia [ show ] Personality While Barney can sometimes seem more bumbling than Fred, he is actually much smarter. Based on Ed Norton from the Honeymooners. Barney, while loyal and used involved with his best friends get rich quick schemes, he is not very in more the money or the harm of anyone. Barney is more jovial, easygoing and good-natured that Fred is, though he often plays funny little insult jokes on his best friend. He is very caring and devoted to his wife Betty as he never wanted to be romantically involved with another woman. Biography While the mid-1980s spinoff series The Flintstone Kids depicts Barney as a child, the series seems to be mostly apocryphal due to its presenting Barney as a childhood friend of Wilma and Betty (vs. the original series' assertion that they first met as young adults). Is possible that Banrey and Fred to forgott Wilma and Betty and to reunite as young adults.

Still, the series' assertions that Barney had at least one younger brother, Dusty, was a childhood friend of Fred, and was the son of artist Flo Slate Rubble and car dealer Robert "Honest Bob" Rubble might be taken as valid. The original series also suggested in one episode that Barney was the nephew of Fred's boss, Mr. Slate, though subsequent episodes and spinoffs don't seem to support this claim. As a kid Barney worked in "Rock City". As young adults, Barney and Fred worked as bellhops at a resort, where they first met Wilma and Betty, who were working as cigarette girls. Eventually, Barney married Betty (as Fred did Wilma). Several episodes and spinoffs suggest that Barney, along with Fred, spent some time in the army early in their marriages. While the subject of Barney's occupation (or even if he had one) was never given during the original series, subsequent spinoffs suggest Barney went to work at the Slate Rock and Gravel Company quarry alongside Fred at some point after the original series; possibly in some office role. An episode of the original series does have a brief scene of Barney working at the Granite Building.

When speaking to an upper-crust snob in another episode, Betty declares Barney is in "top-secret" work; but that might have been a cover for a low-level job or unemployment, or perhaps an in-joke meaning that Barney's job was unknown even to the show's writers. It could also be possible that both Fred and Barney work at the quarry, but may work in different sections of it, under different bosses. In one episode, Barney's boss tells him to "put down his broom," which implies some sort of janitorial works is involved. In a majority of spin-offs and movies, Barney has been portrayed as working in the quarry as a dino-crane operator, alongside Fred. Around the fourth season of the original series, Betty and Barney found an abandoned infant on their doorstep, by the name of "Bamm-Bamm." A court battle ensued between the couple and a wealthy man who also had wanted to adopt Bamm-Bamm. Barney and Betty were successful in their efforts to adopt Bamm-Bamm because the wealthy man gave up (after winning the case) upon learning his wife became pregnant, after which he became a staple character on the series.

For a number of episodes after Bamm-Bamm's debut, there is no sign of him on the show. In the fifth season, the family buys a pet hopparoo (a combination of a kangaroo and dinosaur) named Hoppy . After Bamm-Bamm became a teenager, Barney joined the police force with Fred. Both characters were paired with the Shmoo from Lil Abner . He later became grandfather to Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm's children, Chip and Roxy. Although he was friends with Fred, even he (Barney) lost his patience with him sometimes. The best example comes in I Yabba-Dabba Do! : after losing his patience with Fred for ruining Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm's wedding, he decided to leave Bedrock. He changed his mind after Fred apologised. In several of the original episodes of the series, Barney can be seen with his eyes depicted as two ovals or (occasionally) circles shown only as dark circular outlines. Other episodes show his eyes as being completely filled in with black, very similar to Wilma's eyes.

However, there are three occasions where he was seen with whites in his eyes, in the episodes "The Engagement Ring," "Ventriloquist Barney" and "A Haunted House Is Not A Home". In "The Engagement Ring," the whites in Barney's eyes appear when Fred suggests that he spar with a fearsome boxer in order to earn enough money to buy Betty a belated engagement ring. In "Ventriloquist Barney," the whites in Barney's eyes appear when he describes the terrifying facial features of wrestler Bronto Crushrock. In "A Haunted House Is Not A Home," the whites in Barney's eyes appear when Fred hits him on the head after Barney frightens him by gargling in the bathroom too loudly. Marriage Unlike Fred, Barney has never been shown with any woman aside from his wife. However, an exception for this is Barney in Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas made in The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas when he is invited to go to a buffet with Roxy, though he is not married to Betty at this point, but they are dating. Betty sees Barney wiping cream off Roxy after he accidentally knocks a cake onto her. Betty is hurt, mistakenly believing this to be an intimate gesture.

Another exception is made in A Flintstones Christmas Carol when an actress named Maggie appears and every man at the Quarry, including Barney, is surprised over her beauty. Barney in Flintstones the Movie. Portrayal Mel Blanc was the principal voice of Barney Rubble, although Daws Butler (who previously voiced Ned Morton, a mouse version of Ed Norton (the inspiration for Barney Rubble), in the Looney Tunes short The Honey-Mousers) briefly assumed the role while Blanc recovered from a car wreck. [1 ] In the first few episodes, Blanc used a noticeably different voice for Barney, sounding more high-pitched and Brooklyn-esque, only to later change to his Ed Norton voice for the rest of the show. Since Blanc's death, Frank Welker , Jeff Bergman , Stephen Stanton , Kevin Michael Richardson and Scott Innes have all performed the role. In the 1994 live action Flintstones movie, Barney was portrayed by Rick Moranis . In the 2000 prequel, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas , he was portrayed by Stephen Baldwin . In a Toshiba commercial he was voiced by Scott Innes.

Fred was a blustery, egotistical Stone Age family man who lived in the town of Bedrock and worked in a rock quarry. (The show had many parallels to Jackie Gleason ‘s hit show The Honeymooners.) The show’s running gag was its caricatures of modern conveniences; Fred’s construction crane was actually a long-necked dinosaur, a phonograph needle was actually a bird with a pointed beak, and so forth. Other characters included Fred’s skeptical wife Wilma and daughter Pebbles, the neighbors Barney and Betty Rubble, and their boy Bam Bam.

(In later episodes Fred was sometimes joined by the Great Gazoo, a tiny but powerful green being from outer space.) The Flintstones continued for decades in reruns and spun off several related cartoon series, and Fred’s shout of “Yabba dabba doo!” was TV’s most popular cartoon catch-phrase until Homer Simpson ‘s “D’oh!” Extra credit The Flintstones was created by Hanna-Barbera studios… Alan Reed, who voiced Fred in the original series, played Pancho Villa opposite Marlon Brando in the 1952 film Viva Zapata !… Both Barney Rubble and Fred’s pet dinosaur Dino were voiced by Mel Blanc, who also voiced Bugs Bunny and many other Warner Brothers cartoon characters… Actor John Goodman played Fred in the 1994 live-action film The Flintstones; Mark Addy played Fred in the 2000 sequel, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas.

Uploaded on Dec 3, 2008 Fred Gets mad Cause Barny fuckd Wilma Category Wilma Flintstone | The Flintstones | Fandom powered by Wikia Stony Flinstone (adopted son) Wilma Flintstone (maiden name Pebble or Slaghoople—see below) is a fictional character in the television animated series The Flintstones . She is the beautiful red-headed wife of caveman Fred Flintstone , daughter of Pearl Slaghoople , mother of Pebbles Flintstone and grandmother to Roxy and Chip Rubble. Her best friends were her next door neighbors, Betty and Barney Rubble . Wilma's personality was based on that of Alice Kramden , wife of Ralph Kramden on the 1950s television series The Honeymooners . Thus, much like Alice, Wilma played the strong-willed, level-headed person in her marriage, often criticizing Fred for pursuing his various ill-fated schemes. Wilma would also often be the one to bail out Fred when one of his schemes landed him in trouble.

Contents [ show ] Fictional character biography While the mid-1980s spin-off series The Flintstone Kids depicts Wilma as a child, the series seems to be mostly apocryphal due to its presenting Wilma as a childhood friend of Fred and Barney (the original series asserted that they met as young adults) as well as using the last name Slaghoople instead of the original Pebbles. Still, the series' depictions that Wilma had younger sisters and that her father—who apparently died by the time Wilma reached adulthood—ran a prehistoric computer business might be taken as valid. Wilma did mention having a married sister in the sixth season. As a young adult, Wilma worked with Betty as cigarette girls/waitresses at a resort. There, they first met and fell in love with their future husbands, Fred and Barney (who were working there as bellhops). Wilma's mother, Pearl Pebbles Slaghoople, also met her future son-in-law, and took a disliking toward Fred (and vice-versa), starting a long-lasting rivalry between the two.

Eventually, Wilma and Fred were married, and Wilma became a homemaker, keeping house with such prehistoric aids as a baby elephant vacuum cleaner, pelican washing machine, and so forth. She was also a good cook. One of her specialties was Gravelberry Pie - the recipe for which she eventually sold to the Safestone supermarket chain. Wilma also enjoyed volunteering for various charitable and women's organizations in Bedrock, shopping, and (occasionally) getting to meet the celebrities of their world, including " Tony Curtis ", Rock Quarry and Cary Grant . By Noyan Deniz Yalçınkaya In the original series' third season, Wilma became pregnant, and gave birth to the couple's only child, Pebbles. When Pebbles was a teenager, Wilma (along with Betty) gained employment as a reporter for one of Bedrock's newspapers, the Daily Granite (a spoof of the Daily Planet of Superman fame), under the editorial guidance of Lou Granite (a parody of The Mary Tyler Moore Show's Lou Grant ). While employed there, she shared various adventures with prehistoric superhero Captain Caveman, who (in a secret identity) also worked for the newspaper (a la Clark Kent).

Later still, after Pebbles grew up and left home, Wilma started a successful catering business with her neighbor and friend Betty, before becoming a grandmother to Pebbles' twin children, Chip and Roxy. Physical Appearance Wilma is an unbearably beautiful and very attractive cavewoman. She and Betty both tied in several beauty contests. She has swirly orange hair, wears a white loin cloth/dress, a pearl necklace, and red lipstick (in some specials and shows it's pink). Another notable thing about Wilma is that she has black dots for eyes. Maiden name controversy: Pebble or Slaghoople? File:Harikalar Diyari Flintstones 06020 nevit.jpg Wilma's maiden name has been a source of dispute. Several early episodes in the original series clearly stated Wilma's maiden name was "Pebble." In the episode "The Entertainer" (P-44), Wilma's old friend Greta Gravel remembers her as "Wilma Pebble".

Again, in "Dial S for Suspicion" (P-74), one of Wilma's old boyfriends Rodney Whetstone calls her "Wilma Pebble." It could be possible that Pebble is her middle name. This wouldn't be illogical, due to the potential difficulty of pronouncing Slaghoople. However, later episodes and spin-offs also firmly state her maiden name was indeed "Slaghoople," based upon the name of Wilma's mother in the original series, Pearl Slaghoople . Flintstones' writer Earl Kress explained the discrepancy as such: "[I]t's just as simple as [Hanna-Barbera] not caring about the continuity." Maybe Mr. Slaghoople was Pearl's second husband and he adopted Wilma when they married. In The Flintstones movie, when Wilma is leaving Fred to live with her Mother, Fred shouts "Come back here, Wilma Slaghoople". ("Sufflehooper" was also used at least once.) Wilma and Fred's daughter is named "Pebbles" after Wilma's maiden surname.

Marriage In the first few episodes of the series, particularly the first episode, Wilma (as is Betty) is portrayed as a domestically abusive wife, throwing a tantrum and physically assaulting her husband (or at least attempting to do so) upon discovering that he and Barney had fooled her and Betty so that they could go bowling, despite the fact that Fred had a bandaged head injury to the point that he and Barney actually run away on the Flintstone Flyer, and even after six hours, she and Betty show no remorse for their behaviour and look forward to hurting their husbands again once they land. Also, in the same episode, she and Betty are shown to be willing to assault their husbands violently in public without second thoughts, demonstrated when they bash Fred and Barney over the heads with their heavy handbags in the bowling alley in front of their teammates and several other players. In subsequent episodes, she is shown to get angry but never harms Fred seriously, often lecturing him or slapping him for his exceptionally bad behaviour. For example, in the 21st episode of Season 2, Wilma can be seen biting Fred's finger when he points at her.

She and Fred argue often because of Fred's laziness, and because Fred sometimes flirts with other women. In the 1994 live-action film The Flintstones , Fred's gorgeous secretary seduces him very often, and Wilma walks in and sees Fred drooling over her half naked body while she sexually entices him. In A Flintstones Christmas Carol, Wilma gets upset at Fred for forgetting Pebbles and being an idiot, but she favors him at the end of the film. In Flintstones: On the Rocks, her and Fred's marriage is not working out and they consider a divorce, but they reconcile at the end. Gallery Wilma Flintstone/Gallery Portrayal Jean Vander Pyl was the original voice artist of Wilma until her death in 1999. [1] Since then, Tress MacNeille has taken over as Wilma's voice even when she voiced her in Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law . In The Flintstone Kids , Wilma was voiced by Julie McWhirter Dees and Elizabeth Lyn Frasier at different points.

In the live-action film The Flintstones , Wilma was played by Elizabeth Perkins (although in the film, Vander Pyl made a cameo at Fred's Surprise party for being promoted at the Quarry in the conga line behind Dino ).

10 Neat Facts About The Flintstones (on their 50th anniversary) - Neatorama Neatorama • 3 On September 30th, 1960, Americans sat down to watch the premiere of a prime-time animated series called The Flintstones. Fifty years later, Fred and his gang are remembered as our favorite cavemen. The Hanna-Barbera production ran for six seasons and is still a part of our pop culture landscape. 1. Today's Google doodle honors The Flintstones anniversary. After today, you'll find it in their archives . 2. The characters of The Flintstones were greatly influenced by the 1954-56 hit TV series The Honeymooners , starring Jackie Gleason and Art Carney as working class neighbors. Blowhard Fred Flintstone was very like Gleason's character Ralph Kramden, goofy sidekick Barney Rubble resembled Carney's character Ed Norton, and their wives Wilma and Betty had the practical personalities of the wives in The Honeymooners. Jackie Gleason considered suing Hanna-Barbera, but did not want to go down in history as "the guy who yanked Fred Flintstone off the air". 3.

The show's gimmick, besides being a rare prime-time cartoon, was that the Flintstone family had everyday modern situations set in prehistoric times. There was no electricity, no internal-combustion engines, and no shoes, but the characters still had modern conveniences like dishwashers and phonographs. All these appliances were powered by captive animals (including dinosaurs). The heavy equipment Fred and Barney worked with was powered by pulleys, and their cars were powered by "the courtesy of Fred's two feet." 4. Most of the series' comedy came from puns about rocks. The Flintstones lived in the town of Bedrock. Fred worked for a boss named Mr. Slate. Guest stars on the show had "rock" names . And who can forget the celebrities? "Cary Granite" (Cary Grant), "Stony Curtis" (Tony Curtis), "Ed Sulleyrock/Sulleystone" (Ed Sullivan), "Rock Pile/Quarry/Hudstone" (Rock Hudson) and "Ann-Margrock" (Ann-Margret) all had cameos. (RIP Tony Curtis ) The exception was Tuesday Weld, whose "Bedrock" name was Tuesday Wednesday. 5.

The show had some interesting casting : the man of a thousand voices, Mel Blanc played Barney Rubble for most of the series' run, and provided the sounds of Fred's pet dinosaur Dino. Actress Bea Benedaret , who you might remember as the owner of the Shady Rest Hotel on Petticoat Junction and cousin Pearl on The Beverly Hillbillies did the voice for Barney's wife Betty Rubble. Funnyman Harvey Korman joined the cast in 1965 as the voice of The Great Gazoo . 6. In the first two seasons of The Flintstones, the opening theme was different from the theme song you remember ( Meet the Flintstones ). The original song, which had no lyrics, was called "Rise and Shine", and was also used for the show's closing credits . ( YouTube link ) 7. The show contained several breakthroughs for network television. It was the first prime-time animated series on American television. After the Flintstones' daughter Pebbles was born, Betty Rubble was depressed about her inability to conceive a child. This was the first time an animated show addressed the issue of infertility. The Rubbles then adopted their son Bamm-Bamm.

The "first" that most people associate with the show was the fact that Fred and Wilma slept in the same bed. However, this was not the first American depiction of such sleeping arrangements; that was in the 1947 sitcom Mary Kay and Johnny , which few people saw, considering how many people owned TV sets in the 1940s. However, Fred and Wilma were the first couple to sleep together in a cartoon. 8. While under development, the series had several names . First, the show was going to be called The Flagstones.
