it is so awful and ignorant when people use something popular and reverse-engineer it to make something different. like this video. the flintstones was a great cartoon for kids. why did they have to make a cigarette commercial out of it? that is stupid. they want to make kids start smoking?
@windson7 i think you may have misunderstood what you are seeing. this was not reverse engineered in any way. this is the original footage aired during the Flintstones. when you see this it is important to remember that it was aired during an era when the harmful effects of smoking were not at all publicized.
I remember being 5 years old and arguing with my friends about which was the coolest cigarette to smoke from all the TV ads. I chose Kent, with the micronite filter....still smoke'em 50 years later.
It was indeed mainly older teens and adults that watched The Flintstones. Most of the dialogue would've gone over the head of the typical kid in 1960. Hell, my mom told me that my grandmother wouldn't let her watch The Flintstones because it was "too mature". *LOL*
thanks for your insightful comments. i really enjoy this video for all the modern expectations it breaks. it is outright misogynistic and uses cartoon imagery to advertise cigarettes, something now expressly prohibited by law in the US. this is only one example of the cartoons of that era.

I remember watching the Flintstones when I was a kid back in the early 60'S. I didn't remember the Wintson
commerical, but know wonder we all smoked. We had an appetite for smoking before we even tried it, be beign so bundarded by the tobacco companies.

It actually wasn't - the Flinstones was a prime-time cartoon (the very first - well before The Simpsons) watched mostly by adults.

Funny to think this was a KIDS cartoon..with ads for cigarettes..I think even in the 1950s the legal tobacco age in the US was 18!
