Typical lazy good for nothin' sh@t men (flinstones).  Kids saw them smoking back then? That's aweful to show those guys smoking and promoting it. Shocked to see it. I used to love The Flintstones too... : (

@ladybluluv I thought it was regular cartoons, but if ya look through the comments, Flintstones was the Simpson's of it's time.. Hell, thousands of doctors encouraged smoking back then as well. Funny how times change..

[david1952000]

If you didn't smoke back then people thought you were abnormal. Everybody smoked (and eventually croaked!)

Now thats awesome! My favourite cartoon characters smoking and saying its good, and with a bit of sexism!

@ladybluluv i think its fair to say that this commecrial was made before the show was fully developed and before it was kid friendly, when it got to where it was as a kids show, i think they dropped the whole adult theme stuff...give the show a break, it was just starting out and finding out what audience to potray itself too

Friggin Women, always working on the weekend and trying to make Guys look bad for relaxing on their only day off. Why couldn't they do this while the Husband was at work so they could ALL relax on Sunday. Nope, they WANT to cause a ruckus and ruin a day off for the guys every chance they get. BEACHES… Hahaha

Everybody dies of cancer. We are born terminal. What does it matter which cancer you die from. Live free and die hard.

haha! I hold this commercial responsible for every known evil in America today!

[noobler9]

the flintstones wasn't for kids only, it's what you'd consider family entertainment nowadays lol
