#BARNEY FLINTSTONES SERIES#
The series of commercials (which took over from a more generic series simply showing the Stone-Age families enjoying the cereal) ran from the mid-1970s to the late 2000s.Ī sketch on Robot Chicken depicted the cereal-stealing efforts leading to Barney murdering Fred, and then a panicked effort at cover-up by him. Barney Rubble from the Flintstones wonders why he needs 3 heads. Oddly, Santa at no time addresses Barney's attempts at larceny.

Fred's wealthy Texan uncle, Uncle Tex) wishes to have a nephew and pledges an inheritance to Fred's family. 'Barney's Chickens' is the seventh episode of the first season and the seventh overall episode of The New Fred and Barney Show, a spin-off of the original series, The Flintstones. Fred's rich Uncle Tex is coming for a visit, and to stay on Tex's short list of inheriting his uncle's money, Fred had told Tex that Wilma had a baby boy and named him after his uncle. In one commercial still shown at least once a year, Fred prepares a bowl to leave out for Santa Claus, whom Barney promptly disguises himself as, only to be exposed by the visit of the real Santa, who urges Fred to calm down and share in the spirit of the Christmas season. 'Baby Barney' is the ninth episode of the third season of The Flintstones. While typical cereal commercial "food-stealing" fare with a sense of comedic sociopathy, this series is likely the only one involving characters widely known outside of the commercials. On rare occasions, Barney will outsmart himself and lose the cereal to another, but as far as is known, Fred never prevails even once.

The Barney & Friends home video franchise started on June 2, 1992. In these, he is humorously portrayed as a persecuting stalker, a treacherous deceiver, and even a dishonest corruptor, dragging their pets and children into his schemes to steal Fred's breakfast cereal. However, this cannot be said to be true of Barney's counterpart in the long-running series of commercials for the Post Cereals' brand of Fruity, Cocoa and occasional specialty versions of their Pebbles' cereal. He can be a bit on the annoying and bad side, but is basically a good and loyal friend to his neighbor Fred Flintstone, who can be at least an equal pain to him. Barney Rubble is a character from the classic cartoon series The Flintstones.
