    Ok so one thing I’ve always wondered about the Flintstones. Did he just hollow out a big boulder? The house isn’t made of piled up rocks, it appears to be one big single rock.

    And a car, and his house had an attached garage, and an oven big enough to fit a rack of brontosaurus ribs.

  • Al Bundy was considered poor and a loser because he was a shoes salesman.

    A shoes sales man with a nice house, 2 cars, 2 kids and a wife that liked to spend money.

    Fuck if that’s what being a loser is, what the fuck even am I?

    Idd.

    And 12000 yaer later there was a dude called Al Bundy. He had a wife that liked to shop. 2 kids in school, a car and a own home. Paid it all with a shooselling wage…
    He is also seen as the loser…

        I watched a lot of Flintstones and I don’t remember it that way… A blue collar oaf maybe but respected.

      Yeah. I grew up watching the Flintstones. He was never portrayed as a loser. He was just a regular blue collar guy. Like Dan on Roseanne. Not like Al from married with children. Someone who was broke all the time but still had a 2 story house and dog, wife, two kids, and a shitty car and vacation like every year even though he was a single income shoe salesman at a mall that was bad at his job.

    Fred was a loser? I mean they depicted him as treating Barn like one, but Barn always had the better end of the deal.
