Fred Flintstone wasn't a loser, he was just an average guy.

    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.

    Who drove a rust-bucket car with an odometer that rolled over to zeroes.

    The family was jokingly on the brink of starvation and would fight over a scrap of food.

    They celebrated when they paid the water bill and had it turned back on.

    It’s well known Al only owns less than 5 pairs of socks and pairs of underwear with most of his clothes falling apart.

    Despite owning a house it’s been said over and over that it’s an eyesore in disrepair from the outside.

    The family routinely gets involved in scams and schemes to get money.

    But most important of all...it's a fictitious, satirical television show
