I was watching the Flintstones, and I realized something. Barney Rubble MUST be evil. Well, either evil, or he must have some sort of horrible handicap.
Why do I say this? Well, have any of you noticed his eyes? It’s like, he has eye sockets, but, he has no eyeballs at all, but yet, he can seemingly still see just perfectly.
Has anyone else realized this besides me?
He scares me, very badly.
Sincerly,
…Downhome…
Wilma too.
also, “that girl from the comics with the little dog that says ‘arf’” (as she was once described by Jughead Jones)
Pretty cool - I mean, disturbing. But I don’t know that it necessarily implies evil. Not as much as all those guys in South Park who talk by levitating the entire top halves of their skulls. Even someone’s little brother does it. I think it means they’re Canadian or something.
I guess Barney is more disturbing because everyone else ignores it. It’s not even mentioned, not once - like he was just some wrong-footed evolutionary step tolerated by the developing homo suburbians out of pity - maybe because it was a few years after the great holocaust of weird-lookin’ folk documented in Nightbreed, and they were all feeling guilty? So he just wanders around like one of the family. A bit like something David Lynch might come up with.
Your mind seems almost as cracked as mine gets sometimes, Downhome…
What about the Jetsons? Elroy was the only one with the demon-spawn black eyes. The black sheep. It makes me wonder if he was secretly the illegitimate son of Wilma and Barney. Though exactly how he ended up thousands of years in the future I know not.
you remember that The Jetsons Meet The Flintstones special, right?
(who knew it was a family reunion?)
All I know is, teenage Pebbles makes me pop a chubby.
And that’s even knowing that a real chubby is doing her voice.
I have nothing to add, other than the Dickies did a kick-ass punk rock song about Barney Rubble. It’s called ‘Bowling with Bedrock Barney’.
