Other mistake: When Barney gets hit on the head by the machinery, after hearing Bamm-Bamm speak for the first time, he falls backwards, with his head falling towards Pebbles' side of the cart. So how come he ends up on his side with his head on Bamm-Bamm's side of the cart?

Cliff Vandercave: I want you to fire Bernard Rubble.
Fred Flintstone: Done! Wait, fire Barney, why?
Cliff Vandercave: Well, he scored the lowest on the company aptitude test. He's an imbecile. The company can't afford to have dead weight like him on the payroll.
Fred Flintstone: But Mr. Vandercave, he's got a new kid, a mortgage, I'm his best friend, I can't.
Cliff Vandercave: Look, Fred, if you don't fire him, I will, and then I'll fire you.
Question: On Fred's first day of his new promotion, he says "I'm only one man, Barney." To which Barney responds."Not from the back" and they both laugh. Could someone please explain this gag to me. I have tried for years to understand it, with no luck.





Chosen answer: He means Fred is fat. That from behind, he looks big enough to be two or more people.
