![]() He also wears a brown loincloth with a black letter X-shaped shoelace on the top.īarney's interests included bowling, playing pool, poker, tinkering around in Fred's garage and playing golf (though there were episodes where Barney did not know how to play golf). He cries, however, after saying, "I hate to see a grown man cry," or "Oh gee, if there's one thing I can't stand is to see a grown man cry."īarney is a short and diminutive caveman with fair skin, tan beard stubbles, yellow hair, thick black eyebrows and eyes that are depicted as two ovals or (occasionally) circles and shown only as dark circular outlines in the first through fifth seasons and later with black, very similar to Wilma's eyes in the sixth and final season of the original series. Fred is often aggravated by Barney's inveterate cheerfulness, but he does truly care for him.īarney is not as emotional as the other characters including Fred, and rarely cries. He changes his mind after Fred owes him an apology. The best example comes in I Yabba-Dabba Do! after losing his patience with Fred for ruining Pebbles's and Bamm-Bamm's wedding, Barney decides to leave Bedrock. Also, he’s a loving father to his adopted son, Bamm-Bamm.Īlthough Fred and Barney are best pals, Barney loses his patience with Fred occasionally. Barney is childlike, respectful, noble, encouraging, judicious, responsible, understanding, big-hearted, benevolent, and extroverted. He’s very caring and devoted to his wife Betty as he never wanted to be romantically involved with another woman. whatever you say, Fred."īarney is more jovial, easy-going and good-natured than Fred is, though he often plays funny little insult jokes on his best friend. Usually, after Fred had hatched one of his plans, Barney showed his agreement by laughing and saying, "uh hee hee hee. Like Ralph Kramden on The Honeymooners, Fred was constantly on the lookout for get-rich-quick schemes, while Barney, like Norton, found life satisfactory as it was, but participated in said schemes because Fred was his friend. 6.1 Television shows, films and specialsīarney's personality was based on that of Ed Norton on the 1950s television series The Honeymooners, played by Art Carney.With great creatures (Jim Henson workshop), good gadgets and an all-round enjoyable film, I give this an 8 out of 10. He almost steals the film with his "Mike Jagged" from the Stones, while also playing an alien in a dual role. Joan Collins is also hilarious in the film, as the Filthy Rich Mother of Wilma, and again, does a better job that Elizabeth Taylor from the original. (Baldwin in no way looked like Barney though - oh, well, can't be perfect, but he makes up for it with the voice and laugh). Mostly because, again, they sounded like the cartoon characters and Krakowski resembled Betty. ![]() They were also a lot better than Rick Moranis and Rosie O'Donnell from the original film. But full marks to Stephen Baldwin and Jane Krakowski as Barney and Betty. ![]() She looked far too mature to be playing Wilma, and didn't have the voice either. She did a great job in the original, and resembled and sounded like the cartoon character, where Kristen Johnston, didn't quite do it for me in the role. I just wish they would have asked Elizabeth Perkins to re-create her role as Wilma. OK, he didn't have the voice down to a tee, but he resembles Fred, when made up, a whole lot more than Mr. I think he played him awkwardly as though, he didn't really want to be in the movie. I'll probably get stoned alive for saying this, but I didn't like John Goodman's Fred Flintstone. I hated the original, I suppose because none of the cast of the original (except Elizabeth Perkins) resembled the Cartoon cast. ![]()
