* FlintstoneTheming: Just about every modern concept in the show has an alternate etymology that happens to sound like what the original word is. Some examples include:
** Grug gets exhausted with Aaah! Valley and decides to take the family away from it for a break, which he describes as Vacating the home and Shunning it: Vacate-Shun/Vacation.
** Grug has the valley get together at a place to discuss valley affairs, which he calls a Meet-Thing/Meeting.
** When everyone slacking off all the time causes them to become too weak to defend themselves, Grug decides to compromise and allow a maxmium of two days to slack off because any more would make everyone weak. He calls it the Weakened/Weekend so people remember this.

Useful Note, not a trope


The show started out being animated in UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash, but after three episodes, the production team decided that the show would work better in traditional animation. The three flash-animated episodes were released on Netflix as-is, and possibly OutOfOrder (season 1, episodes 2, 4, and 9), so they stand out within the traditionally-animated episodes.
