* "Wilma Flintsone, a [[spoiler: natural redhead]]?"

* Barney says eating too much red meat is bad for you. Fred replies his dad lived to the rip old age of 36. [[FridgeBrilliance Of course they are cavemen...]]

* After Wilma and Betty steal Fred's Dictabird, which has evidence of Cliff's embezzlement scheme, Cliff goes [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope]] and [[WouldHurtAChild kidnaps Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm]] for a ransom. When the adults arrive home, they find Dino and Pearl, Wilma's mother, tied up and gagged. While the others go off to search the house, Fred immediately begins remarking what a horrible thing has happened, and how it's so cruel to treat someone this way...[[BaitAndSwitch then immediately unties Dino]] while [[ObnoxiousInLaws ignoring Pearl]]. Even better is that Pearl angrily grunts through her gag as Fred soothes Dino.

** In the same scene, Barney manages to fling himself up to the kids and tries to free them, prompting Bamm-Bamm to say "Hi, Dada!" Barney has tried to get him to call him "Dada" for the whole movie, and shouts with joy--which makes him [[FailedASpotCheck miss the enormous girder coming directly for his head.]] He's promptly knocked out.

* The families came home to see Dino and Pearl tied up. Fred immediately went to untie Dino, with Pearl growling in anger.
* Fred tries to think of a way to stop the machine, and he suddenly has a random thought of Pearl getting eaten by a dinosaur.
* The BadBadActing in the TV movie about Fred as the embezzling executive.

* In one episode, Barney says eating too much red meat is bad for you. Fred replies his dad lived to the rip old age of 36. [[FridgeBrilliance Of course they are cavemen...]]

* Fred tries to think of a way to stop the machine, and he suddenly thought of Pearl getting eaten by a dinosaur.

* In "Son of Rockzilla", Fred (stuck in the namesake monster costume) is been chased by Doris the Finkasaurus (resembling the movie monster) that escaped from the zoo, and then the police. The three run over Barney, who came back with pliers to get Fred's costume off.

* In "A Haunted House is Not a Home", Fred's not-all-there uncle, Giggles, has passed away and he leaves his inheritance to his nephew. [[OnOneCondition However, there is a catch:]] Fred has to spend the night in the uncle's haunted estate. On top of that, if anything were to happen to Fred, the inheritance will be divided up between his staff, including his butler, his cook and his gardener. As you would expect, in this haunted house, the staff all try to get Fred (and Barney, who is spending the night with him) killed. [[spoiler:But the real kicker is that Uncle Giggles never died at all; he had faked his own death as a prank. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcUCDtcOj1o Fred's reaction has to be seen to be believed.]] It doubles as a MomentOfAwesome for Fred, with ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest''-sounding music to boot (that had just recently debuted at the time of this episode).]]
