the charm of the commercials are lost on today's audiences who expect realism and things to make absolute sense. the beauty of these commercials and those from the past is that they don't "make sense"...because it's animation...it isn't real...so you can be as unrealistic as you want. today's audiences want everything to make sense and if it doesn't the audience throws a fit or asks questions like the one you did.
the gimmick was that Fred was always fooled by Barney's disguises and once Barney was revealed, Fred would angrily chase him because he had been tricked...it's that simple. Fred would holler: "BARNEY!!!!" as you see here...and the chase was on. Fred didn't like being teased or have tricks played on him and it fit the character to go running after Barney.
Hmm, was this animated when Mel Blanc, Barney Rubble's original voice actor, was still alive, or was this animated after Mel Blanc's passing?

When Fred catches Barney he shoves a pterodactyl up Barney's cocoa chute. That's why they never show it on kid friendly TV.

A Yabba-Dabba-Delicious classic commercial. And I liked seeing a little bit o' that classic *ThunderCats* bumper at the beginning.

Hey, they left the cereal on Fred's table. Why bother with the chase?

I've always wondered the same thing, myself.

I miss the "Yabba Dabba delicious" part now in all the new Cocoa Pebbles commercials.
