the vynsane asylum

I dreamed I was watching a new Flintstones cartoon on TV (I think on Cartoon Network). The animation style was similar--updated just enough to be definitely different.

Fred was now skinny, wore a brown skin like Barney did, and talked like Ben Stiller. He apparently was interchangeable with Barney, who never seemed to actually appear.

At the start of the show, Fred slides down his dinosaur and into his car, like he always does. Then he stops at the drive-in to get some bronto-ribs to take home. The waitress throws them at him, knocking him out of his car and onto the curb. He stands up, wipes what appears to be poop from his clothes, goes to pick up the ribs, and somehow accidentally picks up a gasoline can instead.

He drives home and puts Bam-Bam on the table, beside a candle, to eat. (Apparently he's Barney at this point.) Bam-Bam is animated (and voiced) exactly as he is in the original series. He pours the gas down Bam-Bam's throat, and Bam-Bam immediately explodes. Betty (who looks more like the dark-haired girl from Josie and the Pussycats) comes in and makes a comment about Barney blowing up Bam-Bam again.

Pebbles (who appears to be about five years older than Bam-Bam) tugs on Betty's skirt, saying, "Mom, if I was an adult, I could save Bam-Bam!" So Betty whips out her magic wand and turns Pebbles into an adult.

"Mom, can I borrow the car keys?"

"Sure, honey, but only if Mr T goes with you."

Mr T walks up (animated like on the 80s Mr T cartoon and accompanied by a bad laugh track) and says, "I go with her, but first I got to get my Greyskull armor out of the laundry!"

There's a couple of scenes that I don't remember too well with Pebbles and Mr T at a very un-Flinstones washer/dyer combo, and then Mr T puts on some gaudy green armor that looks like Skeletor's Snake Armor from the TRU two-pack. They hop into a rocket ship and fly into space, shooting dinosaurs and dodging asteroids, with the dialogue clearly hinting at some weird love triangle between Pebbles, Bam-Bam, and Mr T.

Apparently whatever they were saying must've been funny, because I laughed so hard in my sleep that I woke myself up.
