I watched a lot of Flintstones when I was a kid, and while Fred was never the brightest bulb, I don't think he was as stupid as the Pebbles commercials put forth.
Here, we get to see him make several bizarre mistakes that make me think when Wilma is leaving the house at the end, she is going to pick up his prescription for his Alzheimer medication.
First off, two kids see through Barney's shitty disguise but Fred can't. Now remember, Barney wears the same clothes all the time, and has been for almost 20 years at this point, but all it takes is a beard for Fred to be completly fooled.
The biggest issue though is that Fred pours a bowl of both Cocoa AND Fruity Pebbles.
Cocoa. And. Fruity Pebbles. At what point did the ad execs think this would even be an option that even the most adventerous kid would want to try out. The only flavor I think would result from that would be the taste of chocolate milk after it spoiled and gained that naustiating berry flavor bad milk can have.
And then, after giving ALL of his cereal to a total stranger, he suddenly become enraged that he actually gave all of his cereal to a friend of his. So basically if you don't know Fred he will give you anything you want (cereal, his clothes, 20 minutes with his daugter in Dino's dog house), but if you happen to be his friend the only thing you will receive is a prehistoric ass kicking.
Here we learn a few valuable lessons:
1) Fred Flintstone is so desperate for pussy he will try to hook up with a woman who has the face of a caveman.
2) The tidal forces of Bedrock's ocean are so powerful, not only can you lose your own clothes, but if two people are struck by a wave, they will actually switch outfits.
3) Barney is a master of disguise or Fred Flintstone is an idiot. Either way, that's one ugly cave "chick."
