** An antagonistic example occurs in "The Happy Sounds of Pareé". While the Flintstones and Rubbles tour Paris, Ali and Bobo keep attempting to take out Fred with increasingly complex plots, only for it to [[HoistByHisOwnPetard backfire on themselves]].
** "Pensate Amore" takes place in a FantasySequence with Fred and Wilma in a medieval setting. All of Fred's attempts to reach Wilma at the balcony of a tower end in failure. When it looks like Wilma has given up on him, Fred walks off sad, but Wilma sends little angels that carry Fred to her.

* ShotgunWedding: Fred first encounters the fangirl who wants to marry him. She brought along her big brother, to make sure he marries her.

* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: The faux diamond necklace that Fred buys for Wilma. After the Green Goose locks him and Barney in his missile, he sees it and tells them he will spare them if he can have it, not knowing that it's fake and Fred plays along with it. He opens the missile door, and they pull him in by the necklace. His cohorts go in to help, and Fred and Barney exit and lock them in, and they are blasted off into space.]]

* TheOnlyOne: Happens in the climax when Fred and Barney find themselves the... well, the only ones who could stop the Green Goose's plot; The Chief and Rock Slag had both been incapacitated, while Triple X [[spoiler: was actually the Green Goose.]]

** Downplayed with the blurb "Hear Fred, Wilma, Barney and Betty sing seven bright new songs!". While there are seven lyrical songs in the film (assuming that the beginning and ending theme count as the same song), Fred and Barney are only shown directly singing one ("Team Mates"). Wilma and Betty do not get any at all.

* BoundAndGagged: During he song "Spy Type Guy", Fred has a FantasySequence where he imagines himself as a spy. At one point, he performs a MetronomicManMashing to a bad guy next to a woman who is gagged and tied up to a chair.

When Agent Rock Slag is injured in the line of duty, his superiors contact Fred Flintstone due to his resemblance to Slag and assign him to complete his mission: to meet Tanya, the Green Goose's #1 lieutenant, who has agreed to turn over the evil Green Goose in return for a chance to meet the irresistible Rock Slag.

''The Man Called Flintstone'' is a 1966 American animated musical comedy film produced by Creator/HannaBarbera and released by Creator/ColumbiaPictures. It was the second Hanna-Barbera feature, after ''WesternAnimation/HeyThereItsYogiBear'' (1964). The film is a theatrical spin-off of the 1960-66 television series, ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'', and is a SwanSong of the TV show, made immediately following the end of production on the series. The working title of the film was ''That Man Flintstone'', with the film poster featuring Fred in the same pose of the Bob Peak poster for ''Film/OurManFlint''. The film is a parody of the James Bond films. This is the only animated ''Flintstones'' film to get a theatrical release and the only feature-length film (there have been several made-for-TV movies) to feature the original 1960-66 series voice cast (almost; Betty is still voiced by Gerry Johnson in this film).[[note]]This is also the first time Henry Corden appears as Fred, although it's just for Fred's singing voice in "Teammates". Following Alan Reed's passing in mid-1977, He would go on to succeed Reed as the official voice of Fred that same year beginning with later episodes of ''WesternAnimation/LaffALympics'' and the Christmas special ''A Flintstone Christmas''.[[/note]]

* BadBoss: An informed trait with the Green Goose, as Ali and Bobo spent a good portion of the movie [[YouHaveFailedMe worried about what he'd do to them]] if they didn't do away with Fred (who they thought was Slag). Apart from the fact that the Green Goose actually wanted Slag alive in order to get information on the anti-missile-missile that could ruin his plan, he didn't display any kind of hostility towards his cronies, even congratulating Ali and Bobo when they brought him the information he was after.

** The opening sequence sets up that Fred is being chased by Ali and Bobo, apparently beginning his role as a superspy ''InMediaRes'', but it turns out to be secret agent Rock Slag instead, who just so happens to be identical to Fred, down to wearing Fred's typical wardrobe in the scene.
