[ronnykmarshall]

Poll question: The Most Offensive Hanna Barbera Character

Wilma Flintstone/Betty Ruble/Jane Jetson - Sexist stereotype of womyn homemakers that should rise up and smash their oppressive fascist husbands.

Fred Flintstone/Barney Ruble/George Jetson - Stereotype of working class men. Bumbling fools that should rise up and smash their oppressive fascist bosses

Mr. Slate/Mr. Spacely - The oppressive fascist bosses.

Boo-Boo - Stereotype of an submissive "power bottom" to the dominate Yogi.

Mr. Ranger - A filthy power hungry fascists who's only goal in life to oppress Yogi and Boo-Boo Bear, a gay couple.

Rosie the Robot Maid - An unrealistic image of domestic help. Has Rosie's ethic background ever been discussed? NO! A white washed racist statement.


Huckleberry Hound - An offensive stereotype of the dopey people of the south.

Josie and the Pussycats - Oh, don't get me stared!

Velma of Scooby Do - Stereotype frumpy, brainy lesbian.

Dino Flintstone - The original "Dino" was the Snork-a-sorus. This character was an openly gay animal. Dino was later repressed into a typical slobbering pet, who later fathered offspring in attempt to cover up his homosexual past.

1. You need help, you know that right? :)

LOL . . . This has to be one of the strangest polls in a long while :)

But, I'd have to say Scrappy-Doo who I didn't see on your list for being a pompous, narcisisstic fight starter, despite the fact that he knows damned well he would die if it weren't for Scooby and Shaggy :)

[ronnykmarshall]

3. I'll add an Other option.

Yeah, I know I need help! :silly:

[Zuni]

8. Scrappy was a loudmouthed little SOB

I always hated that flea-ridden little fascist

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

32. Have you watched the live-action SD movie? The FIRST one?

Methinks you shall like it.

[Debi]

30. You forgot

with short-dog's syndrome

[LDS Jock]

35. scrappy doo made me wanna buy a shot gun

from a pawn shop and blow his little brain out

[Shakespeare]

2. POWER BOTTOM!! ROFL!

I'd never heard that term before, but your explanation makes complete, passive-aggressive sense! :7

[Wickerman]

4. What about Shaggy?

The stoner stereotype - always looking for munchies.



edit - damn - that is one giantimage - sorry. Great poll, by the way!

[billyskank]

33. They're both stoners

Scooby and Shaggy, the pair of them. You already mentioned the munchies. But have you noticed also the way they always have the fear?

[mac56]

5. Shaggy.

Funny stoner. There'd have been no Cheech and Chong without him.

[mac56]

7. Doggone you, Wickerman!

Beat me by a second!

[Wickerman]

11. doggone

heh-heh

:)

[mac56]

13. And I would have gotten away with it too

if it weren't for that meddling Wickerman!!

;-)

[bobbobbins]

6. i didn't know lesbians were stereotypically smart.

[Zuni]

12. She is certainly smarter than 'slut' Daphne

[Semi_subversive]

19. I always thought Velma was a hottie!

[Phillycat]

9. Other: Daphne from Scooby Doo.

Typical pretty girl who can't take care of herself in a crisis stereotype.

[KurtNYC]

10. Offensive stereotypes perhaps but they were well dressed

He's a caveman, works in a rock quarry but he wears a tie ?!

[ronnykmarshall]

14. The neo-nazi boss, Mr. Slate!

That's why!

[ghostsofgiants]

15. Way too much time on your hands

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

16. Topcat -stereotype of a gay man hiding closeted by a play boy façade

[ronnykmarshall]

20. Good catch!

I always wondered about him.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

27. He has abunch of cronies who adore him and add to the trap he's stuck in

Breaking free would mean letting down his crew and destroying his coveted "rep"

[Sanity Claws]

17. Great poll

I love your poll and your reasoning behind your choices but Yogi Bear is the one who yanks my chain. He's nothing but a rip-off of Yogi Berra, the Yankee catcher. And Yogi Berra received no royalties for this commercial use of his name.

[terrya]

18. Not offensive...but what about "Jonny Quest"?

Here, you have the tender love between Jonny and Hadj..

AND the sweet, man on man action between Dr. Benton Quest and Race Bannon.

I point this out because it's clearly obvious that Hanna/Barbera was years ahead of their time in a plea for acceptance and understanding for these special kind of "friendships"

T

[CO Liberal]

21. And What About "Bandit" The Dog???

Panting and slobbering over them all the time?

:shrug:

[ronnykmarshall]

24. I had the hots for Race Bannon.

You know he Dr. Quest were into bondage.

[terrya]

25. You knew who was the top and who was the bottom...

in THAT relationship. :-)

[Chovexani]

29. Harvey Birdman

The first episode of Harvey Birdman on Adult Swim (and IMO the funniest) was Race Bannon suing Dr. Quest for custody of the kids...it was hysterical. :D

[shawmut]

22. Baba Looey

[WoodrowFan]

38. that's my voye

the little "Mexican" donkey/. OYE!

[ronnykmarshall]

41. He was so cute!

[Bok_Tukalo]

23. Tangent 'cause I really want to

(From 'Red Dwarf')

Lister: Cat
Cat: Grunt
Lister: Did you ever see the Flintstones?
Cat: Sure!
Lister: Do you think Wilma's sexy?
Cat: Wilma Flintstone?
Lister: Maybe it's 'cos we've bin in deep space too long but every time I see that Sherwood body it drives me crazy. Is it me?
Cat: I think in all probability Wilma Flintstone is the most desirable woman who ever lived.
Lister: That's good I thought I was going strange.
Cat: She's incredible
Lister: What d'ya think of Betty?
Cat: Betty Rubble?
Lister: (Nods agreeing)
Cat: I'd go with Betty but I'd be thinking of Wilma
Lister: This is crazy why are we talking about going to bed with Wilma Flintstone?
Cat: Your right we're nuts this is an insane conversation!
Lister: She'll never leave Fred and we know it!

[Longgrain]

37. I don't know...

But there were a lot of French Canadians who appeared on Huckleberry Hound as the hefty villainous lumberjack.

I wonder if Bill and Joe had something against out great neighbor to the north?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

40. Morocco Mole

Oh, Secret!
