He has a house. The way AirBnB, house flippers, and corporate rentals has priced many out of the market; that’s wild to call him a loser.

Do the Flintstones even have a mortgage?

Idd.

And 12000 yaer later there was a dude called Al Bundy. He had a wife that liked to shop. 2 kids in school, a car and a own home. Paid it all with a shooselling wage...
He is also seen as the loser...

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

Who ever said Fred Flintstone was a loser?

Ok so one thing I've always wondered about the Flintstones. Did he just hollow out a big boulder? The house isn't made of piled up rocks, it appears to be one big single rock.

Based on the show's content, they probably used Bronto-Jackhammers to split the rocks and finished it off with stone hand tools.

I am sad that I have but one upvite to give

I think in the movie they show houses being made with stacked layers of rock chiseled out like a 3d printer

It's obviously just a picture made up to fit the aesthetic without great thought to worldbuilding, but if you ignore the perspective it could be made of multiple vertical sheets of rock.

Yeah, if you're watching Hannah Barbera cartoons looking for detailed animation and well thought out worlds, you've gone to the wrong place lol

The roof and the garage seem to be other rocks. And the chimney too.

Leviathan dinosaur egg.

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.

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

Al wasn't bad at his job at all, he just cared little.

And a car, and his house had an attached garage, and an oven big enough to fit a rack of brontosaurus ribs.

And his best friend lives next door.

Letting the days go by

pretty sore feet though iirc

I loved the Flintstones, good parody
