The Great Gazoo

[hypnotizerequiem]

Okay I have always thought this....why did they present The Great Gazoo as a character on The Flintstones? I have always felt that it would have made a lot more sense for him to be on The Jetson's considering he is an alien and it's futuristic

[1cwa]

DUMB DUMB

[Yapostadodat]

Television is SO horrible now they should WISH for such a lame plot device as a pseudo-gay green alien. I can only IMAGINE what was going on behind the scenes at Hanna Barbera at the time. This WAS after all a primetime show so it had to be as lame as it's competition for ratings sake but as Gazoo would say, Puuleeeze! It's amazing how much the Simpsons has followed the dark trail of the later Flintstones. What's next, Homer meets the Schmoo?!!

[greedygretch]

Gazoo is a Green Pimp! 

[gantcreations]

more evidence of ancient alien manipulation. They never left, they've been "dumb dumbing us down ever since.

[Parad0x8]

I met Gazoo at Comic-Con in 2007, he was actually really nice, really down to earth. Isn't it hilarious how his hair is blonde though! From looking at him you wouldn't think he'd be a blonde but I saw him without his helmet!

[sweetyVicky13]

én úgy emlékszem h ment, a tvben, magyarul, de régemn azóta nem hallottam róla:)

[sweetyVicky13]

A 6. évad nincs magyarul???:(

[MizzStaci25]

Gazoo REALLY HAS THE FACE OF GEORGE JETSON!! THUMBS UP IF U AGREE!!!

[DocNoland4362]

Gazoo looks like Ron Paul

[CatapultYourMom]

Gazoo was The Flintstones jumping the shark.

[anu2601]

HAHA, Gazoo is like a less evil ancestor of Stewie Griffin.

[CoolerKing37]

Kinda funny that The Flintstones featured more aliens on their show than The Jetsons...

[martianmister]

This was the last episode produced but the second last to air. So you can count this as the finale of the show.

[YankeeClippa]

@AstridIsAFreak LOL :)

[wikkid61]

He is a little demon, isn't he? 

[atfatw]

flintstone should have nothing to do with that gazoo...he is definately pyschotic

and really bad news and a foreigner too.

[YankeeClippa]

@atfatw I happen to know that Fred doesn't give a Fuck what you think

[atfatw]

@Yankeetoilet haha you and fred are just alike! man, how pathetic you must be!

[YankeeClippa]

I was caught between my fantasy 3somes with Betty and Wiilma and my Fantasy 3somes with Mary Anne and Ginger from Gilligan's Isle!

[randude1]

@YankeeClippa i always liked Mary Anne better... oooo those short shorts!

[TheMistMelody]

When I was little I had a dream that The Great Gazoo had a crush on me, but he couldn't get to me because he was stuck in the little toy display they have at McDonald's.....

[MrDarinWarren]

That was awesome!

[thewordkeeper]

Didn't know till' today that Harvey Korman provided the original voice for The Great Gazoo.

[drvonhoss]

Wilma sounds hot! Never noticed that when I was a kid.

[slapstickaction]

@drvonhoss your 38 years old with wife and kid and your lusting after a cartoon character? I sure hope I'm not like that when I'm old.

[The7legacy]

:27

How can we count on you, when we can't count on you?

[MegaFluffyPlatypus]

I love how obnoxious the laughing track is, I mean is it really necessary in a kids cartoon? lol

[TrevWks]

@MegaFluffyPlatypus It isn't a kids show! This was a prime time network series that was the Simpsons of its day. There was no laugh track on those broadcasts; it was added in syndication when they marketed it as a kids show.

[MegaFluffyPlatypus]

@TrevWks okay...thanks lol

[Smartboy8877]

@TrevWks

I did not know that there was no laugh track when it was a prime time show. That is a very interesting piece of information!

[thesafekind]

@Smartboy8877 It's not true, there was a laugh track in prime time. All the prime time comedies at the time had laugh tracks so they put one on The Flintstones. Then later laugh tracks spread to Saturday morning cartoons (like Scooby-Doo).

[lowaces]

i think the writers had started doing LSD -- it was still legal back then

[ohmphthschwrhu]

damn look at those big wide caveman feet !rediculous! i see why he could pick up a stone age car and run up to 55mileanour in 22 strides! godtoemightydamn! GODTOEMICKYRICKY!!

[ScrubmanLowell]

The Great Gazoo > Stewie Griffin

Thumbs Up if you agree

[alexa500]

I don't remember the background laughter in the show....was it only for some seasons or do I just have a bad memory?

[cody2809]

Im friends with this guy.

[RichXbox360]

Who dislikes this? Especially the ending! That's probably the bit that eventually gave us Pebbles.

[breezwonder]

Which cartoon was better, Flintstones or The Jetsons?

[Casanuda]

The great Gazoo is the precursor to Q.

[spokmage]

@Casanuda i was thinking the exact same thing!

[ohmphthschwrhu]

@Casanuda SIENFELD TOTALLY RIPPED OFF THE GREAT GAZZO!

[TriviaGeek463]

LMAO!! Gazoo looks just like someone I went to school with and just reconnected with on FB...hee..hee... I LOVE the Flintstones, they're still my fave animated show of all time :)

[Astraldragon1]

just goes to show you a wiether it is a REAL woman or a animated Woman..they are all the same they get you into trouble and just as Wilma pointed out they forced Fred and Barney to take them to a place they couldn't afford.........Women you can't life with them and you can't live with out them as they say. all thought I'm doing one hell of a job living with out them as a single guy...lol

[bobjfs]

Listen to this video. Don't watch, just listen. A

lan Freed (Fred) and Jean Vander (Wilma) were radio actors of the highest order, as was Mel Blanc (Barney) and Bea Benederet (Betty).

I love how they find every little nuance of emotion they can in the words.

Hanna-Barbera picked the right actors to voice these characters. Perfect.

[Grapes428]

@bobjfs Of course Alan Freed who played Sam, Alice's boyfriend on the Brady Bunch. And Mel Blanc doing Bugs Bunny. I think Daws Butler who did Elroy from the Jetsons also did Betty for a while.

[KutWrite]

@Grapes428  Wait! I thought Fred did Betty!

[RELubber]

@Grapes428 Allan Melvin played Sam the Butcher on the BB. Alan Freed was the rock and roll DJ from the 50s!

[Grapes428]

@RELubber Yes thank you, got the Allan's mixed up. But they do have similar voices.

[kj09100]

hello dumb dumb

[elkellenhabla]

nice

[baggedyman]

I miss the flintstones

[MrManfly]

the great Harvey Korman as the Great Gazoo. great stuff!! :-)

[acholl980]

Of course Harvey Kormans Gazoo was an obvious inspiration for Stewie in Family Guy.

[Spartacus217]

I never realized Gazoo is voiced by Harvey Korman.

[therickstah]

that's brilliant tbrown55

[tbrown55]

Flintstones probably influenced: the Simpsons and the Family Guy.

[bobjfs]

@tbrown55 Well, the Flintstones program seems influenced by Jackie Gleason's "The Honeymooners."

The Honeymooners was influenced by a radio program called "The Bickersons," in which a husband John (Don Ameche) and wife Blanche (Frances Langford) constantly fight. Very funny.

Of course, each show tweaks the characters and situations, but they the same structures and, often, the same themes.

[VGRetro]

A funny character. It was a nice change to see something like that happen!

[NathanJohnVolk]

I actually liked the Great Gazoo. The show had already gotten more fantastic way before he got there. So he isn't to blame. I am huge fan of the Wilber Tewiligerrock episode where Barney get's changed into Fred's date.

[eastatlantanascar]

my bowls name is the great gazoo

[Hoopermazing]

Obviously gay

[Lashid4u]

Gazoo is the character that kinda made the show jump shark for me (Poochie from Itchy & Scratchy, anyone?)

I couldn't stand him...

..But I must admit that one of the funniest episodes had Gazoo in it - the one with the Fred and Barney clones that could only say "Yes, yes, yes" and "No, no, no" (that was one of my favs ..lol)

[FGN123]

Man this show really jumped the shark when the Great Gazoo got introduced...

[CN90s]

True, but it was still one of the coolest things to ever happen on the show. I don't think ANYONE expected a character like that to appear!

[haneen1999]

yeh yeh why is it like that anyway eh my name is flipflipflip

[sharpy82295]

i think hes on drugs!

[BJMallory]

God I miss The Flintstones!! My all time favorite episode is the one where he goes to a fancy party Mr. Slate threw and everyone is calling Fred "Mr. Fredrick J. Bluhbluhbluh" because that's how he introduced himself. And the one with the spy woman who called Fred "Goohd Looh-king" Old school cartoons RULE!

[DoyleJames2]

i love Gazoo he is great

[RELubber]

@DoyleJames2 Geez, I couldn't stand that Gazoo. When they brought that character on it was like they couldn't come up with any other good plots for Fred & Barney.

Oh well, we all have our opinions!

[DoyleJames2]

@RELubber yeah we do or we would not be humans eh mate

[ITILII]

Harvey Korman, what a great talent..sorely missed, a true comic genius !

[dimitreze]

This characther is so stupid...

[Lashid4u]

I agree, and so does most people, because he was voted as the #1 reason for the show jumping shark

[jmen4ever]

Gazoo,was my favorite corman cartoon character. he gave him a real personality,and if moved out of the flintstones, had real potentual for a solo series.Yeah the critics hated him, back then, as much as jar jar is hated.

[fromthesidelines]

This was the tail end of Gazoo's first episode [October 29, 1965], the first of 11 in which Harvey Korman provided his voice that season (while appearing as Danny Kaye's second banana- as he later would for Carol Burnett- on Danny's CBS variety show). He also provided voices for the theatrical feature "The Man Called Flintstone" (1966)...

[NUBIANNEWYORKER]

God bless this funny, funny, man and his family. WE LOVE YOU HARVEY!!

[rgrrabitt]

my gazoo you will be missed god bless you Love You Brian Brandon

[gkcx2002]

meggy, I wish u were here!

[nnayar]

Harvey Korman, voice of Gazoo. Rest in Peace.

[3eyedho]

...and then came pebbles, after Fred let out his yabba-dabba-do! Sorry! Couldn't resist! Tacky can be funny!

[YankeeClippa]

And Barney was doin his Bam Bam on Betty

[RichXbox360]

@YankeeClippa Bam Bam's adopted actually.

[mrearlstubbs]

barney was in the back becuz wilma and betty had already gone in the house.they had just returned from a dinner date where fred and barney had not enuff money to pay the dinner tab at an exspensive resturant.gazoo was supposed to help but he was sleeping. so fred and barney had to wash dishes to pay the bill.

[1f5sda]

Please add Jean Vander Pyl to the tags.

[jameshlee17]

Man this is funny!

"A few more of these good deeds and maybe he'll haveme back! T-hee-hee-hee!"

[YankeeClippa]

They just dropped their wives off in front of the house

[seizetheweakened]

lol ok that makes sense- still kinda gay though

[seizetheweakened]

why the hell was barney in the back seat?

[howelldrake]

Good observation...but I would chalk it up to artistic license, the same way sitcom families dining sit on the same side of their tables...

[YankeeClippa]

they were coming home from dinner and they just dropped off Betty and Wilma...
