>>223920923They ate berries earlier in the episode that turned them all into giants.
there is no joke, its like cow tools
white people weren't in north america back then so it makes zero sense and zoomers are correct here
>>223920923It's a camera perspective thing
>>223920923the Grand canyon is unimaginably huge, yet the cavemen easily dwarf it, because this is pre-Flood/pre-Tower of Babel humanity that still retains great size and centuries long life span like the Lord God of Hosts intended, before the sin cursed world made us pathetic and depraved
>>223920923They're big guys
>>223920923The joke is that when Humans lived in dinosaur times the grand canyon was smaller.
it's something that is actually worth seeing in real life if you get the chance unlike a lot of overrated nature
>>223920994I don't get it. Smaller? Smaller how? Smaller like a short guy like me is smaller??
>>223920923>I got this joke when I was 8No he didn't
>>223920923This is really making the rounds today isn't it? Anywhere it could be posted, it is.

>>223921096Stop lying
It's like sneed, there's no joke there to "get"
It's less about there being a joke and more about the themes explored in the text. What does it mean to you? That's what's important.
>>22392107318 replies in, and you’re already arguing about God. On /tv/. Let that sink in.
>>223920970I laughed
>>223920970this but it's mostly because of agriculture
>>223921313I'm not arguing, I'm stating a fact
>>223921042Why not? The fact that dinosaurs lived an extremely long time ago and the process of erosion are both things you learn about very early on in education, potentially from your parents or children's educational/entertainment material before you even start elementary school (though that's more likely to apply to the dinosaurs). It's certainly possible that he's a little off or very slightly exaggerating, but I don't think 8 is an unbelievable claim.

>Forced perspective is a technique that employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It manipulates human visual perception through the use of scaled objects and the correlation between them and the vantage point of the spectator or camera. It has uses in photography, filmmaking and architecture.

nothing more pathetic than people feeling superior to someone somewhere on earth not getting something. it's like they have to pick the biggest retard just so they can feel smart. that's not how smart people act. that's literally how sub 90 IQ normgroids acts. i don't remember the last time a smart person called someone dumb. idiots do it regularly because they got a chip on their shoulder

>>223920945There is a joke. The Earth is so new in the Flintones that the eons haven't gone by for all the erosion to happen for the grand canyon to form as we know it today.I've never even seen this episode and I understood it immediately upon seeing this.
>>223920923They are the Nephilim.

This is as stupid as that Odyssey "bronze age" scene
>>223920970>>223921332Hunter gatherer humans LOOK LIKE THIS? Bro I need to add more protein powder to my shakes.
>>223920945The Flintstones takes place millions of years ago. The joke is that the Grand Canyon is so new it hasn't even really formed yet. You only need to know the time the show takes place and the geological feature called the Grand Canyon to get the joke. Never even watched the show myself.
>>223923310>takes place millions of years agobut if pebbles was born in 10 000 bc are they timetrevellers?
>>223920923there be giants
>>223920923I don't get it, is it a wifi cable?
>>223920923The joke is a pun about the Grand Canyon being a giant crack in the ground — and the fact that the Flintstones live in a world where everything is made of stone.The humor comes from the double meaning of “crack” or “canyon” as a gap in the earth, with a possible sexual innuendo: the characters are looking at a long, narrow opening in the ground, and Fred Flintstone is commenting on it as though he’s seeing something impressive or suggestive.The reason the poster says people in their 20s don't get it may be that the joke relies on recognizing the old Flintstones cartoon and its style of adult humor hidden in a children's show.
>>223920923They used forced perspective to pull this shot off, like in Lord of the Rings.

>>223923503The earth isn't that old dumbass, the Flintstones existed at the time of the dinosaurs about 6 thousand years ago. That's when the grand canyon was just forming, at the accelerated rate that geology had prior to modern times.
>>223924309God confirmed this, don't bother him about it.
>>223920923that's not a jokethey lived a long time ago, before the erosion had time to take its toll
>>223920923That's just a bad joke. Jokes should be self-contained and not require outside knowledge to understand.

>>223924964bait
>>223920923it's about the jews controlling water
>>223920923the canyon is formed by water erosion and the flintstones takes place in the past. the joke is that the grand canyon isn't well formed because the flintstones live in the ancient past.

>>223921073you can't use the N or K word on the blue boards
>>223926425He just did.
>>223920923I think the joke is that people did not travel very far so they could not go to the real grand canyon.
Remember this thread, /tv/, when you start arguing with someone on a thread here. You're screaming at room temperature tier IQs
The joke is that the grand canyon is not grand and it's also a commentary on how people travel to landmarks expecting something different. It's both. It's not one or the other. It is two overlapping jokes.

>>223920923I can tell OP clipped this from reddit, probably that explainthejoke slop trash sub faggot.
>>223920923to be fair that's the most clever joke in the whole show, literally every other joke is just exactly what every sitcom before it did but with caveman window-dressing that doesn't actually affect anything at all
>>223927181And all of them are "Nature is amazing, but God is the one behind it all, he snapped his fingers and poof existence appeared".
>>223927226God creating everything is unironically a more reasonable explanation than "poof existence appeared spontaneously from nothing"
>>223927270It's a lazy cop-out. Why did this god spend fifteen billion years doing nothing only to suddenly take special interest in a single species on a single planet, proclaim it his greatest of all creations, and start interfering with its progress?
>>223927270But who created god?

I really hope you're all just pretending to be retarded.
>>223927351the answer you seek can not be found with that kind of question unfortunately, and no I will not elaborate because idk either
>>223927336I don't know, but it's not lazier than "for fifteen billion years there was nothing and then suddenly there wasn't", aka spontaneous generation.
>>223924309>at the accelerated rate that geology had prior to modern times.
>>223924309lol
If you asked 100 non white and non asian people "how was the grand canyon formed?" How many do you think would answer somewhat correctly?
Do you think cavemen were strong because they used to eat dinosaurs full of protein? Then they ate all the dinos, and this caused the extinction, and the only thing left was carbs, and now everyone is fat because we only eat carbs?
I wanted to fuck Wilma and Betty's pussies all day as a kid (also Jane from the Jetsons), Hanna Barbera psyoped me into liking milfs
>>223928163They would ask "What is the Grand Canyon?"
>>223928163i think 99% of them would say "i dont know" and leave it at that
>>223928163well this thread is up to 130 replies so to answer you i'd probably say like 2
>>223923721>>223924224What crackpot model are you using?>The joke is that the Grand Canyon was supposedly just a tiny crack in the ground during the time of The Flintstones.>Because the Flintstones live in the Stone Age, we’re seeing the Grand Canyon before millions of years of erosion turned it into the enormous canyon we know today.>The humor comes from Fred and the others treating this unimpressive little ditch as a famous natural wonder.>There’s also a scientific inaccuracy that adds to the amusement: the real Grand Canyon was already millions of years old by the time humans appeared. The Flintstones’ prehistoric setting plays very loosely with geological history.
>>223920923Heh
>>223920945He doesn’t get Cow Tools
>>223928163If you ask 100 white Americans they won't know, either.
>>223920923Before Chuckstone bought the canyon from Sneedrock, it was called "The Greedy Semen Trail". Most kids would've caught the reference to JFK banging Marilyn Monroe and leaving jizz all over her dress.
>>223920946come again?
I thought it was all underwater. Like the canyans were ocean floor
>>223928982The Grand Canyon was created long after the Western Interior Seaway was gone.
>>223928073There was plenty of stuff happening before humans entered the stage.Even before the earth itself formed the universe was already a vibrant place.Stellar transmutation and early star and galaxy formation is fascinating.The big bang started an avalanche that is still going.Serious theologians understand this, and it only adds to the majesty of creation. This is why none of them reject these scientific discoveries, they just enhance the power of god
>>223929877NOPE. God made it all a few thousand years ago (the Jesus one, not the Jewish one or the one with the child bride(s)) and he put dinosaur bones (something that never existed alive) in the ground to test our faith. Shrimple as.
they're using an Anglo-Saxon term from the Old French 'graunt', meaning 'distinguished' or 'noble'.they're basically saying, this particular canyon is not as important as the name implies.
https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1792962176419577.mp4still the best Hanna-Barbera joke. "sneed"fags = mogged into the stratosphere.
>>223920923Why would they call it the grand canyon before it became such?
>>223929991It's the only canyon so far
>>223920923The grand canyon was formed by millions of years of erosion due to a river carrying sediment away from the surrounding earth. The Flintstones is set a long time ago, so the process has barely started. Despite that, they still call it the grand canyon even though it is not grand
the sign is a clever joke isnt of seed and feed its implying under Chuck it would be called Suck and Fuck
The joke makes no sense in a vacuum but the entire universe runs on cartoon logic so at least it’s consistent.
They're stupid cavepeople who thought some little stream running through a glorified crack was the Grand Canyon
>>223929975I don't get it
>>223931064The joke is that the dog character can read and the human character either can't read or doesn't notice the sign

It's the same joke as Manfred calling Stonehenge "Modern architecture" and has also been used in a lot of other cartoons.

>>223931189I don't get it
>>223931258gas tanker, 'AGAS'pretty obvious, anon.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand The Flintstones. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of post-Paleolithic geology and Pleistocene satire, most of the gags will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Fred's working-class existentialism, which is deftly woven into his characterisation—his boiling rage draws heavily from classical Stone Age stoicism, for instance.The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny animal-appliance puns—they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence, people who dislike The Flintstones truly ARE idiots—of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the layered subtext of Fred's existential battle-cry "Yabba Dabba Doo!", which itself is a cryptic reference to early Neanderthal proto-syndicalist uprisings.I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated cave-dwellers scratching their low-brow heads in confusion as Hanna-Barbera's avant-garde genius unfolds itself on their stone television sets. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Bamm-Bamm tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only—and even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
These cartoon jokes make no sense

>>223920945The joke is that the shop is owned by a guy namesld Sneed, whose name rhymes with Feed and Seed. The sign reads that it was previously owned by and known as Chuck's. Thus the implication is that under the previous ownership, according to the rhyming pattern, the shop would be called "Bane?".
