Frederick "Fred/Freddy" Flintstone is a caveman and one of the main characters and the protagonist of the Flintstones animated franchise. He is a working-class quarry worker living the life of a dinosaur crane operator in his hometown of Bedrock. His voice was originated by Alan Reed (not counting Daws Butler in the pilot pitch).

While Fred is away at work, he has a stay-at-home wife in Wilma, the adoring pet dinosaur he's stuck caring for, Dino (Hanna-Barbera later retconned Dino to be the childhood pet of Fred); and the later addition of the family's baby daughter, Pebbles. His best friend and next-door neighbor is Barney Rubble.

Character description

Fred is a caveman with fair skin, beard stubble, black hair, and a large nose. He wears a ragged, green-blue necktie, and a orange and black-spotted loincloth.

Fred tends to be both loud-mouthed and ambitious, constantly scheming for ways to improve his family's lot in life. However, whether it be related to money or fame, his actions often end in unintended results. In fact, some of his schemes, even with the most innocent and mundane intent, tend to be very complicated at times.

Fred is prone to being short-tempered, aggressive, impatient, naive, and grouchy. He constantly yells and gets into fits of rage or sadness whenever things don't go in his way. Despite his impulsive and childish behavior, Fred is usually free of any malice. He proves to be very friendly, often helping and showing some affection to others — including both his family and the Rubbles. While he does complain to Wilma about his outrageous demands, or over some of her requests or actions, he is also a loving, caring husband and father at the same time. He is also prove to be a good friend of Barney, who despite following his plans with barely a passing thought, is devoted to their friendship. Fred would usually go to great lengths to please his family or owe somebody, especially in moments when he notices that his actions had gone too far. Fred's catchphrase is "Yabba-dabba-doo!", which he often yells to express his excitement and astonishment.

Due to his short temper, Fred seems to be accident-prone. Even his most innocent and mundane actions often cause widespread confusion. At the end of the closing credits, Fred puts the housecat Baby Puss at the doorstep, only to let him lock the door and leave Fred outside; this causes Fred to bang the door loudly and call Wilma for help, and in the case for the closing credits of the show's first two seasons, brings attention to the awaken masses at Bedrock when they turn on the lights of their homes.

An average blue-collar worker, Fred works as a crane operator (or "bronto crane operator") at the Slate Rock and Gravel Company. His boss is Mr. Slate, whom he sometimes has trouble with due to having made some mistakes working here. Fred's job title was once given as "geological engineer".[2]

He is also a member of the Water Buffalo Lodge, a private club in which he and Barney hang out. The two are rather popular among the lounge's members, and even have some degree of influence over its events.

Fred's interests include bowling, golf, poker, and playing pool. In the case of bowling he is exceptionally good at it; even winning numerous championships for his skills. He was given the bowling nickname "Twinkletoes", referring to the way he tiptoes before rolling the ball; he got the name when he became eligible to join a football team in college.[3] Fred also had a gambling problem in one episode, to the point where a single utterance of the word "bet" causes him to stammer it (like a chicken) and go on a gambling streak.

Biography

Straight to the moon, Wilma!

Fred and Barney on the Laff-a-Lympics

Celebrating another 50 years! 50 years of fun!

Fred Sells Out

In the Captain Planet and the Planeteers episode "Who's Running the Show?," to get in Fred Lerner's TV studio unnoticed by the Eco-Villains, the Planeteers dress like mucky versions of the Flintstones and Rubbles. When they are revealed to be in costume, an instrumental version of "(Meet) The Flintstones" plays, and Wheeler, dressed in Fred's loincloth and tie, leads the other Planeteers into the mission by announcing "Okay, Planeteers, time to do our yabba-dabba-duty." When seen by Duke Nukem, he doesn't notice who they are despite the thinly veiled costumes, and when he asks about them, Wheeler says they are the Filfthstones. His love interest, Linka, is Wilma, and his the Planeteers' leader, Kwame, is Dino.

Fred appears alongside Barney in pirate form in the Duck Dodgers episode "Shiver Me Dodgers."

In The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy episode "Modern Primitives," Fred is unfrozen in the present day and Billy keeps him as a pet named "Jake Steele". Depicted as primitive and hostile, Fred goes on a rampage after being overwhelmed by all the modern technology and customs due to future shock.

In the Adult Swim short Come and Learn with Pibby!, Fred greets Pibby to Bedrock and slides down a dinosaur's back right into the corruption below that swallows him whole.

Development

When The Flinstones was developed under the working title of "The Flagstones", Fred and Wilma were originally going to have a son named Fred, Jr. After the series title was changed to "The Gladstones" and then into its final name, the idea of the Flintstones having a child was written off and initially made Fred and Wilma a childless couple. However, some early merchandise of the show, such as a 1961 Little Golden Book, featured "Junior".[5]

The personality of Fred is largely based on Jackie Gleason's character of Ralph Kramden in the 1950s sitcom The Honeymooners. Like his animated counterpart, Ralph is an ambitious yet ill tempered and brash man who lives at home with his patient wife. The similarities between the two have also extended to their physical appearance, as both Fred and Ralph are overweight men with black hair.

When Alan Reed began to play as Fred Flintstone, he was insistent on using a relatively natural speaking voice, rather than a broad, "cartoony" style, since animated short cartoons rarely used this method of voice acting back then—with the exception of experimental studios like UPA and feature films with more realistic characters.[6]

Behind the scenes

  • According to Hal Smith, Bill Thompson was the first actor to audition for the role of Fred Flintstone, but dropped out because he was told by Joseph Barbera that his voice didn't sound gravelly enough, and had his lines re-recorded by Alan Reed for the first five episodes.[7][8]
  • George O'Hanlon also auditioned for the role of Fred, but lost out to Alan Reed.[9] Aside from being later cast as George Jetson, O'Hanlon ended up writing two episodes of The Flintstones.
  • Jackie Gleason, who both played Ralph Kramden and created The Honeymooners, mentioned in an interview that he once considered suing Hanna-Barbera for copying the show with The Flintstones, but decided to not let it pass.[10]
    • In the same interview, Gleason also mentioned that Alan Reed was the actor who dubbed in his movie roles whenever he could not make a session.[10]

Legacy

  • In the letters section of Droopy Issue #1, cartoonist Scott Shaw draws an affectionate caricature of Tex Avery standing outside of his office at Hanna-Barbera, telling the other employees to call him by his real name Fred (as he did in real life), while dressed as Fred Flintstone.

They need help with what happens to Fred will say after a boulder comes crashing down on him after he gets in his car. Suggestions are "Let's rock and roll" and "The boulder and the beautiful," which are turned down in favor of the hilarious idea that the script doctor gives which is just clucking. It happens again when another scene depicts Fred at a golf course and picks up a stork instead of a club, with the suggestions of what the stork says next being, "It's a living" and "It's my job," but whatever the script doctor clucks about is approved. The final scene that will get the script finished, is of Fred standing on what he thinks is a boulder, but really a dinosaur head. Deanna Oliver, the one writer not impressed, starts clucking, but it just confuses the other writers. The script doctor does his own clucking, which sends the other writers into uproarious laughter.

According to Jim

  • "The Truck:" a drunk bar patron losing to arm wrestling all night pokes fun at Jim by calling him Fred Flintstone when Jim refuses his challenge.
