I just gotta get some food.

Every nerve in me is yelling for a brontosaurus burger.

I can't stand it any longer.

'Al! Al!'

I don't care what you promised Wilma, Al.

I need some food.

Al, Al, just one

one little brontosaurus burger.

No one will know. What harm can it do?

Okay, Fred.

Wilma will kill me for this

but I can't stand to see you suffer.

Bedrock Television Studios, good morning.

I'm sorry, Mr. Slabsides is busy shooting a commercial.

Will you leave a message, please?

We have one more actor to interview, Mr. Slabsides.

Okay, run him through.

Next. Step up, please.

(Mr. Slabsides) 'No, no, no. He won't do it.'

Doesn't do a thing for me.

The "after" is perfect, but the "before" isn't right.

Well, he's the last one, Mr. Slabsides.

There are no more fat "befores." You've tried 50 of them, sir.

Uh, but none of them are right.

They, they don't create an image.

There's no sponsor identification--

Hey, Slabsides, what's holding up that reducing commercial?

Hello, hello, B.J. Well, I had a lot of ideas.

I, I threw them all in the lake to see if they'd float.

[laughs] But they all sank.

I seem to be stuck for the right "before" image, B.J.

One that will project an identifying image

for the client.

One that will fire the imagination

trigger people into taking the course.

- The right image-- - Ahh, shut up!

Don't give me all that guff, I taught it to you.

One fat man, three days auditioning, big deal.

I'll get the first fat man that comes along the street

'and get this thing rolling.'

Ye-ye-yes, sir.

Image, smimage.

All I want is a fat man.

Well, there ought to be one along any minute.

? Yabba doo do do doodle do do ?

? Yabba doodle doodle do do ?

- Uh, hey, mister. - You want something, bud?

Yes, may I have a word with you, sir?

As long as it don't cost me nothing, why not?

Is, uh, is that all you?

That's all me, buster, and it cost me a lot of money

to get it that way.

Well, how would you like to be on television?

Television!

Oh, no. You're the guy with the peekaboo camera.

I've seen your program before, mister.

Where's the microphone? Where's the camera?

Oh, you're clever at hiding everything.

Gee, I never suspected.

Hey, Wilma! Hey, Barney, Betty! It's me, Fred.

I'm on TV. Look!

[blows raspberry]

[laughs]

I hope I didn't make a fool of myself.

Where's the release? I'll sign it.

Oh, boy, I'm on a peekaboo camera.

Wilma! Hey, Wilma, how do I look?

How do I look?

[drum roll]

Alright, alright.

What's all the fuss about?

- What's going on here? - It's alright, officer.

He's one of our TV actors.

Ohh, one of them, eh?

Well, keep him quiet. This is a public street.

Oh, I love your program.

You fool even the smartest people like me.

And when do I get the residuals for the reruns?

Come on, come on. Tell me, tell me.

Where's the camera hidden, huh?

There is no camera.

You aren't on TV at all.

Huh? Not on TV?

What's the matter with you?

Are you some kind of a nut or something?

I have a good mind to pop your lip up.

- But I can put you on TV. - You can?

Certainly, mister, uh, mister..

Flintstone, Fred Flintstone.

Pleased to meet you. I'm B.J., Mr. Flintstone.

President of Bedrock Television Studios.

And you're perfect for a part I have in mind.

- No kidding? - No kidding, Mr. Flintstone.

You can be a big man on TV.

boing

Uh.. G-gosh.

I wonder what's keeping Fred.

It's not like him to be late for dinner.

- Hiya, Wilma! - Fred, where have you been?

Eee-yabba-dabba-doo!

Fred, what's the matter?

'Wait till you hear the news, Wilma.'

What news?

Wilma, you are married

to a TV star.

I am? Oh, boy! Which one?

Terry Masonite, Rick Masterson, Mavrock?

[Wilma chuckles] 'It doesn't matter, I love them all.'

I am talking about me.

You, Fred? A TV star?

[laughs]

Okay, okay, laugh.

But you'll see me on tape at 8:00 tonight

which is, as we say in the video business

uh, "Prime time."

But, Wilma, Fred wouldn't invite everybody

over to your house tonight if he wasn't on TV.

That's what I keep telling myself

but I'm still not convinced.

Hmm. Uh, Wilma..

I-I don't mean this as it sounds

but what could Fred do on TV?

I'm sure I don't know.

His big act at parties is the lampshade-on-his-head routine.

And I don't think television is that desperate yet.

I don't think so either.

Hiya, girls, what's the big conference about?

We were trying to figure out what Fred will be doing on TV.

He wouldn't tell me, Wilma, but I bet it's the lampshade act.

It always goes over big with the bowling team

and they'll all be here tonight.

Oh, which reminds me, I have 50 pizza pies to defrost.

- 'I'll see you later.' - So long, Wilma.

Yeah, bye.

Well, how about that Fred? What a guy, huh?

Yeah, imagine the captain of our bowling team a TV star.

Oh, gosh, isn't this exciting?

- Everyone we know is here. - Yeah.

Fred even invited people he's been mad at for years.

Hey, Barney, where's Fred? I want to get his autograph.

Greetings, everybody!

Yabba-dabba-dabba-doo!

[laughing] Oh, that Fred!

He's got a lampshade on his head.

Fred, take it off. You look silly.

That's the old warm-up, we call it in TV land, Wilma.

Well, it's the old corn, we call it around here.

Oh, boy, women just don't dig funny gags.

Hey, uh, when does the show start, Fred?

In about one minute.

Now quiet, everybody.

No talking while the program's on.

'If you have to cough, go outside.'

There, it will take a minute for the set to warm up.

Hey, I bet Flintstone's a riot.

Shh.

Oh, I'm so nervous, I could jump out of my skin.

Quiet, quiet. Here it comes.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to "The Happy Hour."

Sixty minutes of spine-tingling suspense

guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat.

But first, a brief message from our sponsor..

'Before taking the Fat Off Reducing Method'

'you could look like this man.'

'All lard.'

'After the Fat Off Method, you could have'

'a physique like this man.'

'Notice the difference.'

'"Before" is soft, flabby, a mess.'

'While "after" is handsome, rugged, trim, fit as a fiddle.'

So, don't be a flabby "before," when you can be

a muscular "after"

with the Fat Off Reducing Method.

And now, "The Happy Hour."

Well, that's it, folks. How did you like it?

Hey, where did everybody go?

They all went home, Fred.

They were ashamed for you.

Ashamed for me? I don't get it.

I thought I looked pretty good.

It'd be different if I was that fat "before" guy

but as the "after" guy, I thought I shaped up great.

Fred Flintstone, you were the "before" guy.

- After! After! - 'Before! Before'

Alright, hold it, hold it!

We'll let Betty and Barney decide.

Now, was I the fat, lardy "before"

or was I the muscular, handsome "after"?

'Take your time, think it over. Well?'

You were the fat, lardy "before," Fred.

That's right, the soft, flabby one.

How about that.

Not only are they false friends, but they both need glasses.

They are not false friends, and you're the one

who needs glasses, Fred Flintstone.

Come to think of it, I think I was standing

on the "before" side.

But you know what they say, television adds

ten pounds to your appearance.

Well, eating like a horse has added 50 pounds to yours.

And first thing in the morning

we're going downtown and have that

insulting commercial stopped.

[instrumental music]

When we get there, Fred, you keep quiet

I'll do the talking.

Okay, Wilma.

I'll give that B.J. a piece of my mind.

And another thing, you old goat

if that commercial isn't taken off the air immediately

I'll sue you, report you to the FCC a-and slap your face.

Oh, now, now, calm yourself, Mrs. Flintstone.

Of course we'll take it off the air if you insist.

But it's a shame, your husband was a big success.

What do you mean?

We've had a lot of calls about the method.

And nobody wants to look like your husband.

Huh?

Watch it, buddy!

Yeah, watch it, buddy.

Well, anyway, get yourself another fat man.

My husband is going on a diet and lose weight.

Lose weight?

Say, that's a great idea. Tell you what I'll do.

If Mr. Flintstone will lose 25 pounds

we will pay him a thousand dollars.

A thousand dollars? Why?

Well, don't you get it?

We can show how much better anyone can look

by taking off 25 pounds and feel better, too.

- 'Is it a deal?' - A thousand smackeroos!

- Boy, you got a deal! - Good, good.

We'll start the campaign rolling

with the weigh-in tonight on TV, coast to coast.

Do you think Fred can really lose 25 pounds, Wilma?

If he sticks to the diet the doctor put him on, he can.

But Fred's appetite. He's always eating snacks.

Fred's got an appetite for money, too.

It's going to be a battle between the snackeroos

and the smackeroos, Wilma.

[all laughing]

That's the lineup, Barney.

Turn the TV on, it's time for "The Happy Hour."

Right, Wilma.

Good evening, friends. Welcome to "The Happy Hour."

Tonight we bring you the start of a very unusual contest.

'The Fat Off Reducing Method'

is so sure you can look better by being slim

that we are going to pay an overweight person $1,000

if he will lose 25 pounds in one month.

And here is our contestant, Fred Flintstone.

Hi, all my friends out there in TV land

especially my dear wife, Wilma

and my dear neighbors, Barney and Betty Rubble.

- And-- - Mr. Flintstone.

All the gang down at the Bedrock Bowling Alley.

Mr. Flintstone.

I also want to say hello to my fellow members

at the Pebble Street Snooker Society

and to all the boys--

Mr. Flintstone, please.

We're only on the air for one hour.

And now for the weigh-in

'supervised by an official from'

'the Bureau of Weights and Measures.'

Uh..

225 pounds.

There it is, Mr. Flintstone.

One thousand dollars is yours

if you lose 25 pounds in one month.

'Good luck, Fat Freddie.'

[laughing] Fat Freddie! That's a hot one.

Well, first day of the big diet, huh, Fat Freddie?

Yeah, Barney. It's do or diet, get it?

[laughs]

- It's going to be tough on you. - Tough on me, why?

Well, you sure like to store the groceries away, Fred.

Ohh, you forget I got will power, Barney.

If I set out to do a thing, I see that it gets done.

And I'm going to stick to my diet and win that money.

I hope so, Fred.

Some guys are slaves to food.

Not me, I'm its master.

That's right, I've seen you master some pretty big meals.

Well, Here's my corner, Fred. I'll see you tonight.

Right, Barney.

[rumbling]

According to my intuition, it should go off about now.

[alarm blaring]

Lunch time!

- Hello, Fred. - Hi, Charlie.

Saw you on TV last night. Think you'll win the $1,000?

Sure, it's a cinch.

I don't know, Fred, you like food too much.

When a guy puts food before everything else

he just can't lose weight.

It all boils down to calories, Fred.

The more calories, the more weight.

[chuckles] Periscope.

'I know, I know.'

A submarine sandwich.

Celery!

'Mmm, boy!'

Everybody gets to eat, and I get celery.

[munching]

Sorry, Charlie. Sighted sub, sank same.

[laughs]

It's been a week since Fred started Operation Diet.

What has he lost so far?

So far, all he's lost is his temper

not one ounce of weight.

Well, maybe he's raiding the icebox.

He promised me he wouldn't, Barney.

Besides, I've got it hooked up to an alarm device.

If he opens the door, I'd know it.

[explosion]

- Good grief, what's that? - The icebox.

- 'Wilma!' - Yes, Fred.

Booby-trapping the ice box was a low-down, despicable trick.

Fine thing when a wife doesn't trust her husband.

[snoring]

Wilma?

Good, she's asleep. Now is my chance.

Ah, she's probably still got that alarm on.

Hey, Barney's icebox.

And they're both sound sleepers, too.

[laughing]

Wilma thinks she's so smart

but I happen to be a little smarter.

bang

Wilma asked us to hook up that trap as a favor to you, Fred.

I'm sorry about last night, Fred

but we're all trying to help you win that $1,000.

I know, Barney, but I just can't keep away from food.

When I count sheep at night to help me go to sleep

the sheep all turn into lamb chops.

The whole town will be laughing at me

if I don't take off 25 pounds.

Well, it's no use trying to do it by yourself, Fred.

- You need help from FA. - And who is FA?

Not who, Fred, what.

FA stands for Food Anonymous.

- Food Anonymous? - That's right, Fred.

It's a bunch of guys who have kicked the overeating habit.

Gosh. You think they could help me?

Oh, sure.

They're a swell bunch of guys

and they help each other.

Like, uh, like, supposing you wanted to

get some candy from a machine..

- Yeah, yeah? - Well..

Just as you tried to put the coin in the slot

a Food Anonymous member would take it away from you.

Oh, gee, that's the kind of help I need.

Come on. Let's go see 'em.

Dear fellow members of Food Anonymous

we have with us today

another unfortunate man with a problem.

He needs help.

And I've told him first he must face up

'to the fact that he is an eater.'

[clamoring]

I thought that some of us could tell him

of the problems we've had and how we overcame them.

Uh, yes, Frank.

I used to be on a pizza pie kick.

In between meals I'd eat pizza pie.

I used to hide them in the glove compartment of my car

in my locker at the shop.

I couldn't sleep nights.

'I'd get out of bed and drive around'

looking for an all-night pizza pie stand.

But when I joined Food Anonymous, it all stopped.

'With the help of you fellows'

'pizza pies mean nothing to me now.'

Gee! Thanks for letting me join, fellows.

I'll do my best to make good.

You won't be alone in your fight, Fred

we'll all be helping you.

And you'll be able to recognize fellow members by this sign.

Goink, goink, goink.

Hey, I like that.

Goink, goink, goink.

[clamoring]

How's Fred been doing with his reducing diet, Wilma?

There's only one more week left.

I think he's taken some weight off

but he's so grouchy, I can't find out for sure.

Oh, I-I feel sorry for Fred.

He likes his food so much.

- 'Oh, goodness.' - What's wrong, Wilma?

The wax fruit has disappeared.

- 'Fred?' - Who else?

But I'm not worried, there are no calories in wax fruit.

Where is the old dear now, Wilma?

He's outside, playing with Dino.

[growling]

Nice, Dino. Nice, Dino.

Let Fred just look at what you got in the dish.

'Come on now. Come on.'

'I'm the guy who bought it for you.'

You're supposed to be man's best friend.

And best friend, I am taking that bone.

[Fred yelps]

What was that?

Oh, Fred must be at Dino's food again.

But Dino's smart, he buries his bone at night

when Fred's asleep.

[both laughing]

I just gotta get some food.

Every nerve in me is yelling for a brontosaurus burger.

I can't stand it any longer.

'Al! Al!'

I don't care what you promised Wilma, Al.

I need some food.

Al, Al, just one

one little brontosaurus burger.

No one will know. What harm can it do?

Okay, Fred.

Wilma will kill me for this

but I can't stand to see you suffer.

[scoffs] Thanks. Thanks, Al.

You're a real good guy.

That's it, yes. Put everything on it.

Don't hold back anything.

More relish. More. More, more.

And the pickles. Oh, don't forget the pickles.

'Here you are, Fred.'

[panting]

Hey, what's the big idea? Give me back that burger.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.

Goink, goink, goink, goink.

Food Anonymous. I forgot about those guys.

Okay, it's war. A battle of wits.

Wilma has everyone in town refusing to sell me food.

The Food Anonymous spies are after me, but I'll beat 'em.

I'll beat 'em at their own game.

No one can outfox Fred Flintstone.

[laughing]

Poor Fred, he's cracking.

Costumes. That's it.

I'll fool 'em all.

And with this hat on, I guarantee

your own mother won't recognize you.

Good, good!

Now I can go any place in town and eat.

Hiya, Fred!

Hi, Mr. Flintstone. Back so soon?

How was the party?

What's the matter?

A cat got your tongue?

Brother Flintstone has given us quite a tussle

but we're winning.

'He isn't getting any extra food'

but he's going to get desperate these last few days

so keep on him. Don't let him down.

[clamoring]

[laughing]

(male #1) 'Hey, come back here with that pie.'

'Somebody stop him.'

'Call the police, quick!'

I got it! I got it!

[laughing]

'Food! Food! Food!'

I got food!

thud

Goink, goink, goink, goink.

[laughing]

Goink, goink, goink.

Goink, goink, goink, goink.

[instrumental music]

Well, tonight's the big night, Wilma.

- Did Fred lose enough weight? - I don't know, Betty.

He's been so mean and irritable

he hasn't spoken to me for the last two weeks.

All he does is growl.

[chuckles]

We'll soon find out.

Barney's waiting to drive us to the TV station

so we'd better hurry.

Come on, Fred, we're leaving now.

[growling]

Come on, Fred, cheer up.

You can eat all you want after the show.

[growling]

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

This is the night Fred Flintstone returns

to see if he collects one thousand dollars

'for losing 25 pounds.'

[growling]

Will you step on the scale, Mr. Flintstone, please?

[growling]

Good luck, Fred.

Our official is now ready to check the weight.

And it's..

200 pounds on the nose.

He won! He won!

[laughing]

I knew you could do it, Freddie-boy.

Oh, thank goodness it's all over.

Now Fred can eat his way back to being a nice guy again.

Here you are, Mr. Flintstone.

Now will you say a few words to the TV audience?

I can't, I got an important call to make.

Hello, Food Anonymous? Fred Flintstone speaking.

Thanks for the help, but I can't take it.

I am resigning. Yup, that's right.

I'm a weakling. I'm a weakling's weakling.

I am a weakling because I need food.

Lots of food. Goodbye.

Hey, gang, I just resigned from Food Anonymous

and boy, are we going to tie one on, feedbag that is.

Yabba-dabba-doo!

Oh, Fred's his old self again, isn't it wonderful?

Okay, I officially declare my diet ended.

Let's eat.

Oh, boy, this stuffed pterodactyl

is going to taste good.

boing

Oh, no!

Goink, goink, goink, goink.

swoosh

Call the office!

They'll tell you I resigned.

Don't take my word for it, call the office.

Give me back my dinner. I resigned, I tell you.

I resigned!

Well, it looks like Fred's still on a diet

whether he likes it or not.

[all laughing]

[theme music]

[yawning]

clink

Wilma!

[banging on door]

Wilma!

Come on, Wilma, open the door!

Wilma!
