Created as a companion video to my series of CARTOON EVOLUTION videos (specifically the 'Evolution of THE FLINTSTONES Over 60 Years (1960-2020) Explained'), I take a look at the vocal evolution of Fred Flintstone as I compare all of the characters official voice actors over time, including Mel Blanc, Daws Butler, Frank Welker, Kevin Michael Richardson, Scott Innes, Jeff Bergman, Brad Abrell, Hamilton Camp, BJ Mitchell, Rick Moranis and Stephen Baldwin.

As often as Kevin is the deep voice guy... It's funny his Barney is one of the highest pitched haha
Barney Rubble is my favorite Flintstones character ever. His witty personality, his small posture and his adorable laughing at his own jokes makes him the cutest and the funniest character in the show. Also he was voiced by the legendary Mel Blanc.
El mío es Brad Abrell
Not Steven Baldwin
Me too
Rick Moranis is the perfect live action Barney. My favorite voice actor is of course the legendary Mel Blanc. On that note, all the voice talent has done a fantastic job.
He already sounds just like Barney
Man I wish Mel Blanc got to see the 90's
@Jack Mcginn Also
I know right? Curse the popularization, and the regulatory marketing of cigarettes and their snazzy commercials back then!
Makes me wonder how he would have felt about Tiny toons and animaniacs
Yeah he might retire in 1990 or 1991. Also remember that Joe Alaskey As Sam And Paul Kuhn As Elmer Fudd Well That Will Happen Ro Mel’s Characters For Example: Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester The Cat, Tweety Bird And Speedy Gonzales To Name A Few.
@@meaganh637 I don’t think he will retired unless he can’t voice them anymore. Because I know Mel Blanc loves to voice Looney Tunes characters
Mel Blanc has more than just the sound, his timing was impeccable
Barneys laugh was so infectious it makes me laugh! I wonder if its a left over from all those giggling characters Mel Blancs done for Looney Tunes?
No matter how old I get, I can never get enough of Barney's chuckle!
I'm still impressed Kevin Michael Richardson chose to mimic Butler's Barney for Flintsons On the Rocks! From Joker to Trigon, he's such a wonderful, talented Voice actor!
One of my favorite current voice acting stars. I especially like how in the TMNT '12 series, not only did he play their darker version of Shredder, but also did an excellent job as the 1980's Shredder when they had that last crossover before the series ended. Not to mention Principal Lewis from American Dad.
While I agree that KMR is a great voice actor, I wish that (from "On the Rocks" onward) WB had someone who sounded more like Barney's traditional voice. Like Frank Welker or Dave Coulier. (He did impressions of him on Full House)
I wonder why they didn't just let Jeff Bergman play both.
I don't think he was mimicing Butler, but rather Blanc's version from before Blanc started imitating Art Carney's voice and was doing his own thing. Just take a listen at around 3:05.
The On The Rocks Barney voice was patterned after Mel Blanc's early version, the higher pitched one, to coincide with the look of the characters being patterned after the first season of the original series.
Rapper Barney is something I did not know I needed till now!
Mel Blanc is Barney and I loved laughing at the Pebbles cereal commercials
I didn't know Kevin Michael was able to emulate Mel's first vocal iteration of Barney. That's pretty stellar. But for what it's worth, Daws, Jeff Bergman, Mel, and Frank Welker did a very impressive job voicing Barney.
Kinda wished Frank kept voicing Barney.
One thing I realized is that at first, his Barney voice was kinda stuffy, but as time went one, Frank Walker perfected his voice
I grew up with the on the Rocks special for a while I thought it was Frank Welker
There's a reason why Mel Blanc changed the voice for Barney. Apparently Hanna Barbara were getting complaints about Barney's voice being annoying so Mel Blanc once he found out changed his voice to the Art Carney Impression we know. As for successor I think either Frank Welker or Scott Innes would be the perfect successor to Mel Blanc because they sound practically just like Mel Blanc as Barney. Sure there's some differences but not enough to ruin the character. That's why I don't like Kevin Michael Richardson's Barney because he's mimicking the original Mel Blanc Barney Performance the one no one liked. I didn't even knew about it until after Kevin Michael Richardson did Barney and I heard it.
I don’t like Kevin either but he’s part of history. Accept it
@Daffy Duck That’s okay
Stephen Baldwin did a great job as Barney like Rick Moranis! If only we could've digitized his height! Its a little odd seeing a Tall Barney!
I'm with you. Him and Kristen Johnson were perfect if they couldn't get the original actors.
Love these evolution videos Dave, it's really amazing how much effort you put in these!
Bravo 👏
Thanks, Mr. Stark!
Okay, I am legitimately confused how it's possible that I had no idea Mel Blanc was the voice of Barney until now... 😳
*BARNEY MY PEBBLES!!*
Barney is one of my favorite Flintstones characters, and Mel Blanc does an phenomenal job voicing him.
Even I enjoyed Frank Welker, Jeff Bergman and Kevin Michael Richardson's voice of the character
Mel Blanc was legendary too bad he didn't see the 90s
I love learning how cartoon characters are created and their voices.
TailsBoomFox05 mee to
Where i live, even the original dubbing had no laugh track, in fact i found out in your videos that this show had laugh tracks.
Barney is such an interesting case because there are two different interpretations of his voice, both created by Mel Blanc. I’m actually going to go against the popular opinion and state that I slightly prefer Blanc’s original take on the character. Blanc’s original voice still sounded considerate, but when it came to his relationship with Fred, he sounded like he could stand up for himself better, and he could really handle the moments where he needed to make fun of Fred well. Blanc had used this voice a lot on The Jack Benny Program and I think that helped. For those who don’t know, Benny played a stingy, older character who liked to pretend that he was 39, so he was often the victim of wisecracks, which also often happened to Fred Flintstone. Therefore, I find that that voice was a really good fit for Barney’s relationship with Fred. Blanc’s Ed Norton take was still good too, but I feel like it was a bit too dumbed down, and made Barney’s wisecracking moments feel a bit out of place. It’s kind of like if Big Bird were to make a bunch of wisecracks; something just feels wrong hearing that voice say those kinds of things. Still, the Norton-type voice does work at representing Barney’s other personality traits.
The fact that Butler was the voice of Yogi is a bit distracting. Butler does sound like he’s trying to not sound like Yogi, which I respect, but it is hard to disguise that voice, especially when Yogi’s voice is already a bit like Norton’s in the first place.
Considering I prefer Blanc’s initial take on the character, it should be no surprise that I consider Kevin Michael Richardson the best replacement. As far as the voices attempting to replicate the Norton-type voice, all of them are pretty good, but I think Welker and Bergman are a bit more consistent. Abrell occasionally sounds a bit too much like Bubble Buddy from SpongeBob SquarePants, but even he’s still good for the most part. As far as the younger voices, Camp sounds more like what I’d imagine a young Barney might sound like.
My ranking:
1. Mel Blanc
2. Kevin Michael Richardson
3. Frank Welker
4. Jeff Bergman
5. Scott Innes
6. Daws Butler
7. Brad Abrell
As much as I like Kevin Michael Richardson's voice acting, I'm not to keen on him voicing Barney. The others are good, especially Daws Butler and Mel Blanc
His voice goes with the weird drawings.
@@DefSquadFan You got a point
What makes it even more odd is that Kevin CAN do the more traditional Barney voice. That's what he did with Grimace on the Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald. I mean, On the Rocks made sense considering that was intentionally going for the first 2 seasons.
I think its pretty bold of Kevin Michael Richardson to mimic Blanc's 1st Barney Voice. He made it work and was pretty funny
Hooray hooray this is the final evolution video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Daws Butler
(November 16, 1916 - May 18, 1988)
Another great voice evolution! My favorite is the Tom and Jerry one! :D
The Tom and Jerry voice evo was my least favorite
My Ranking of Barney Rubble Voices.
1. Mel Blanc
2. Daws Butler
3. Frank Welker
4. Scott Innes
5. Jeff Bergman
6. Brad Abrell
7. Kevin Michael Richardson
8. Hamilton Camp
9. Rick Moranis
10. Stephen Baldwin
11. BJ Mitchell
I just realized something. It tells me that the guy who played Barney at the time who almost died. This seen reminds me of what the actor when through when he was hit. Check it 3:55
Both Mel Blanc and Kevin Michael Richardson gave Barney Rubble a New Jersey with a New Jersey accent.
Both Mel Blanc and Frank Welker gave Barney Rubble a Deep Chuckle American with a Deep Chuckle American accent.
Blank is my favorite VA of all time, but his original Barney voice is my favorite. DAWS version during the 2nd season always creeped me out. BTW, ANYONE EVER SEE BLANK ON LETTERMAN AND HOW TERRIBLE HE TREATED MEL? Let me know what u think.
"Barney, my Pebbles cereal!"
I love ur channel. Can u do ur favorite episodes video? Id like to see ur favorites :)
What's interesting is that one of the two Brothers Portrayed as Mr. C in Thomas and Barney Rubble in The Live-Action Flintstones.
i like your videos so much Dave Lee Down Under
Mel Blanc
(May 30, 1908 - July 10, 1989)
You need to do Pebbles Flintstones, Bamm-Bamm Rubble, Hoppy (pet kangaroo for the Rubbles) and Dino (pet dinosaur for Fred Flintstones) That would be GREAT!!!! and the other Flintstones case members. Yabba -Dabba-Doo !!!!! Love this .❤️💯⭐️
The Fruity Pebbles commercial at 9:42 Barney is actually voiced here by Looney Tunes actor Joe Alaskey not Jeff Bergman
It’s actually Mel Blanc
I know Barney's voice is inspired by Ed Norton from "The Honeymooners", but is it me or does he almost sound like Rodney Dangerfield from time to time?
Mel Blanc, Daws Butler, Kevin Michael Richardson, Frank Welker, Jeff Bergman and Rick Moranis are my favorite portrayals of Barney Rubble.
Actually, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas was a prequel, not a sequel.
Actually, “Sequel” simply means a follow-up. For the sake of simplicity, I used the word Sequel - which is technically still correct.
@@DaveLeeDownUnder No, sequel exclusively means something set after the original in the continuity. Actually, now that I think about it, that's what follow-up means as well.
@@DaveLeeDownUnder the 2nd film takes place when Fred, Barney, Wilma and Betty got married so that means it is a prequel
Dave Lee Down Under
Potato patato I say
Do I even have to say who’s easily the winner here?
Mel Blanc, and Kevin Michael Richardson, for me! Kevin Michael Richardson sounds like Mel Blanc's early voice for Barney, to me.
By far Mel Blanc was the best Barney. Especially from late season one onward. Though Frank Welker is the best successor. Live action wise Rick was the best Barney.
Mel seemed to switch back and forth between the nasal voice and the Ed Norton-inspired voice early on. Later, he settled on the Ed Norton voice.
Barney Rubble (Voiced by Daws Butler, Mel Blanc and Frank Welker)
There’s my favourite! 🥰
Hamilton Camp
(October 30, 1934 - October 2, 2005)
Pebbles and BamBam next, Please? Their main reason I liked the Flintstones.
The Flintstones and the croods crossover
I’m laughing like Barney Rubble.
Who is excited for the next cartoon evolution? (🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞please be droopy🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞)

@@covidkid1482 My personal favorite episode is "The Social Climbers" for Fred and Barney's fighting skills.
@@zacharyyamashita8554 lolol i love that 1!!!
To be honest Jeff Bergman didnt do that bad of a job voicing the character
Jeff Bergman is my favorite voice impressionist but he did a bad job with Barney. He’s better as Fred
Yay the voice I can know now :)
Good old Barney Rubble. Devoted Husband and Father! Responsible, Reliable, and the unfortunate punching bag of Freds schemes! All he wanted was your FRIGGIN cereal Fred!
did you forgot to included the grim adventurers of billy and mindy for barney rubble and betty rybble
Mel Blanc did “Master Rapper Barney” in the Fruity Pebbles Commercial
Kevin sounds nothing like Barney. What were they thinking
He was closer to Mel's original version of Barney.
Does any one notices some notice some differences between the pilot and the actaul show for the Flinstones
Kevin Michael Richardson voices Maurice on All Hail King Julien, and will voice the reboot Krumm.
am i the only one who loves kevins take on Barney? i actually Barnys original high pitched nasal voice than his deep voice. its funnier to me.
Your not
Hey Dave chould we get a the evolution of Bosko?
Two Talented Black Guys Played Barney :)
I don't care for Kevin's super nasally voice for Barney, I get that he's doing season 1 Barney, but he wasn't quite that nasal, maybe he should've lowered it a bit, and as people pointed out he kind of sounds like Frank Welker's Fall Apart Rabbit from Bonkers.
Rick Morianis feels like Barney physically but Baldwin just sounds more like Barney
Kevin Richardson 's Barney sounded more like Lou Costello.
What voice evolutions are you going to do
are we gonna get a cartoon evolution for Bam Bam?
No voice evolutions for Bamm-Bamm or Pebbles this month, as I don’t have time for them in my schedule - possibly in future.
@@DaveLeeDownUnder Alright, kinda wish you did them because it would've been perfect
hope you have time to do it with voice evloutions
Barney! My Pebbles
Will you make a cartoon evolution for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?
I don’t think he’s into the Ninja Turtles and I’m not quite sure he’s into the awesome 80s Cartoons
To me, Daws Butler just didn't cut it as the voice of Barney; only Mel Blanc was the definitive voice of Barney.
To be honest, Kevin has got to be everyone's favorite voice actor of this day and age. But this for me as to be one of his least favorite roles just because he took the character of Barney made him sound un-Barney-like.
for a brief period, it is weird to see Barney with a huge nose...
what is your next voice evloutions after for new videos
Shouldve had a live action Flintstones film with John Goodman and Stephen Baldwin
Mel Blanc felt okay after the accident.
0:23 uhh that scary 😰
BARNEY !
MY PEBBLES !
Please do Speedy Gonzales and/or Panchito Pistoles in September to celebrate Mexican Independence Day.
As I’ve said numerous times, my schedule for the year is already locked in. I have no current plans for a Panchito episode, as there is no story to tell - as, again, I have discussed with you. I also have no plans for Speedy until next year at the earliest.
And once more, it is currently not possible for me to do more than one main evolution a month - I won’t explain this again.
@@DaveLeeDownUnder How come you were able to do more than one Disney Evolution per month then? Heck, you did Bugs and Daffy in the same month too.
So it isn't Speedy, it isn't Elmer, it isn't Foghorn Leghorn, and you announced Yosemite Sam for this year. So I'm gonna guess Pepé le Pew is the extra Looney Tune, right?
The Disney evolutions were between 10 and 20 minutes long. The Bugs and Daffy videos were 20 minutes long. The most recent episodes have been between 35 to 40. The longer the episode, the longer they take to research, write and edit. Double the length, double the time to make. Also - the more obscure the focus, the harder I have to dig for resources.
It takes me 2-3 weeks to make an episode now.
I do not appreciate the hostile tone in these comments - and I do not appreciate the continual second guessing.
I am a one man team, working tireless 12 hour days, 7 days a week to pump these videos out for you. One a month is not only my limit time-wise, but also mentally. These videos are completely consuming and I simply need a break after making one. If all I was doing was Evolutions I would burn out pretty damn quick and then there’d be no videos at all. Sometimes I feel some people don’t actually understand the amount of work that goes into something like this. Please respect my workflow, respect my work, and respect me.
There’s only so many times I can explain this.
Also FYI, regardless of their length - I _made_ the Bugs Bunny video at the end of June, and released it at the beginning of July. I _made_ the Daffy video in early July and released it at the end of July. I made those two videos back to back and it was incredibly tiring. Note that the Porky Pig video wasn’t released for almost an entire month. My workflow and release patterns have substantially changed and become more consistent. As a relatively new creator I’m constantly optimizing the way I work - it’s a process of trial and error.
My favorite voices for Barney rubble Are Mel Blanc daws butler Jeff Bergmen and Frank Welker
For younger Barney I like Hamilton camp
Scott Innes's version sound like Daws Butler's version.

8:05 You could tell this wasnt made for kids 😭😭
Hey, I Don’t Hear Barney Rubble’s Trademark Laugh In This Video!
I preferred the second voice of Barney that Mel Blanc used over the original.
KM Richardson's Barney sounds progressively most cartoonish
(laughing like Barney Rubble)
dave start doing mail videos
Kevin Michael Richardson sounds like he should voice Bugs Bunny
I kinda want to hear Eric bauza voice him
By using his Dom DeLuise voice accent, I wonder if Eric Bauza knows about Dom DeLuise
Wow... so there are two voices that Frank Welker can't do... Garfield AND Barney Rubble.... I thought he could do anything!
Frank can do Garfield better than Bill Murray.
Mel Blanc had a car crash.
Jeff Bergman and mel blanc is the one
I have some Flistone gummies
8:42
Kevin Michael Richardson doesn't feel nearly as Barney as the other voice actors
To be fair he was doing an version of Mel's original version of Barney.
@@stephenholloway6893 I get that but I also just to not care for it
@@daisydaze2886 Quite frankly neither did I. But that what he he was doing vocal wise.
Kevin is the worst
Mel Blanc Frank Welker and Kevin Michael Richardson are the best
can you make a chilly willy evolution
Who’s Chilly Willy?
A penguin character created over at the Walter Lantz studio from 1953 to now.
betty rubble
Daws Butler is the best
