The Flintstones turns 50: The five dumbest moments

1. Sexism in the Flintstones

Yes, we already showed this clip. But, this two-minute video doles out a double-scoop of offensiveness.

Winston cigarettes may have paid for the ad, but there's a second message embedded in this scene: Sexism.

Throughout the show, Fred makes it clear that he really does love Wilma and will go to hilarious lengths to please her. But he and Barney regularly share a misogynistic undertone – not exactly a lesson TV should pass on to kids, or anyone else for that matter.

We'll let the clip speak for itself.

[Editor's note: The original version of this article used the wrong term for men disparaging women. The correct word is "misogynistic."]
