Wilma Flintstone | Red Dwarf | BBC Studios

[@TheSamMarsden]

"She'll never leave Fred and we know it!" lol

[@mycroft16]

The delivery of that line is absolutely perfect.

[@BunnaySango]

💀💀💀

[@BentonRox]

This scene has randomly popped into my head so many times over the years and it always makes me laugh. It has been responsible for me getting surprised looks from people on the subway as I burst out giggling for no apparent reason

[@adrianhutchins7493]

Any time the "Flintstones" come up for whatever reason.

[@mycroft16]

This opening NEVER gets old. It is way to damn real and that makes it so god damned hilarious.

[@Restayvien]

"In your own time..." Most patient Rimmer has ever been I think haha

[@Howyaduing]

"This is crazy why are we talking about going to bed with Wilma Flintstone?" "Your right were nuts this is a insane conversation." "… she'll never leave Fred and we know it!"

[@N1ceDreamsz]

*You're *we're

[@polreamonn]

Red Dwarf really is the Wilma Flintstone of comedies.

[@jlstv5059]

"Wilma flintstone is the most desireable woman who ever lived" LOL He's not lying though

[@AntWill919]

"I think in all probabity, Wilma Flintstone is the most desirable woman who ever lived!" I love this, this is a straight classic. I love Dave & Cat!

[@dressinggownsessions7296]

It's Lister's constantly questioning his own sanity that makes the scene work. And of course the last line, "she'll never leave Fred and we know it!" is just pure gold.

[@MissyHolland]

I just discovered Red Dwarf two months ago and I love it; Rimmer is hilarious and I like Lister's singsong accent. (I'm an American, of course.)

[@BunnaySango]

Lister is from Liverpool thats whybhe ralks like that.

[@GeiiRox]

"That's good, I thought I was going strange (totally serious)" BEST PART EVAR.

[@Geothesponge111]

It's funny because this sort of conversation is completely normal on the internet now.

[@SlatheTheSpaceMarine]

It's almost as if this show was - - - "ahead of it's time"?

[@mycroft16]

Dude, this sort of conversation was completely normal anywhere two guys were since the dawn of time. Literally. Or even girls. People just do this. It's so completely accurate and the deadpan delivery of it is just icing on the cake. Every human ever should feel seen here.

[@polreamonn]

Or when I was getting stoned at uni.

[@AdmiralValdemar]

Duh, it’s three million years in the future. They saw ALL the Reddit and Twitter threads. Still crazy. Wilma would never leave Fred.

[@SamauraiRippeR]

Always loved the "special" effects of Red Dwarf. Classic.

[@adrianhutchins7493]

80s Dr Who level. Masterful

[@oisinwalshagnew908]

Wilma flintstone is the most desireable woman who ever lived LOL!!

[@steampunker7]

Personally, I always felt the better debate was Wilma Flintsone vs Jane Jetson.

[@giles852002]

I’d go with Jane. But I’d be thinking of Wilma 😂

[@robleary3353]

Love it!. When ever I'm channel hopping and come accross the Flintstones, I always think of this! 🤣

[@bareakon]

Makes me think of Alan Tudyk's three switches in Firefly. The ones he flips whenever he's asked to make the ship do ANYTHING

[@turboking9238]

I love how in later seasons Lister puts a pinup of Wilma riding Red Dwarf on the back of his jacket🤣.

[@lilanthia]

Lol the Cat! 'I'd go with Betty, but I'd be thinkin' of Wilma!'

[@goodtimestobehad]

I fancied Betty Ruble when I was six years old.

[@thetinthdoctor]

Anyone else notice that at 0:20, when Cat says "Probability", you can hear his English accent.

[@davidjames579]

Cat hangs around with people with English accents, so it's rubbed off on him a bit. There's, that canon now!

[@davedsenches]

One of the best scenes in Red Dwarf a true classic.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Cat sounds almost like Lister at 0:38.

[@MoskHotel]

His voice sounded Liverpudlian there! At first, I thought it was Lister. XD

[@danielwilliamson6180]

@@MoskHotel Cat's accent changes to Scouse.

[@PROTEK123]

she never leave fred and we know it.. pml...... RD gave us so many one liners. Well written and casted i grew up with it ... and now my kids also watch it .. i seen this a 1000 times but still makes laugh.

[@TheEvildeedz]

Truly a classic clip, I love red dwarf

[@jeffwilliams742]

Best comedy show ever

[@i-a-g-r-e-e-----f-----jo--b]

OMG, this show rocked! That had a couple of LOL scenes in it! Thanks! Hey I'm an American who noticed Rimmer was wearing an outfit from Captain Scarlet's show, pretty good on a geek scale if I do say so myself! Thanks for the cool post.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Danny's own voice at 0:51.

[@SavageSaboteur01]

0:24 He can't go strange, he already is. lol

[@talatsmum]

loll i love red dwarf and i love channel dave for showing it on tv :D

[@AceGGR45]

Wilma will never leave Fred and we know it!

[@danielwilliamson6180]

2:30 LOL

[@bctime47]

she will never leave fred

[@williamcrowe2576]

"You're probably going to hold it against me, sir, that one little mistake".

[@jugghead82]

The Flintstones bit is who can make wilmas bed rock LOL

[@smeeeheeee]

Stoke me a Klipper, I'll be back for Christmas :P

[@Vettle]

this is hilarious! good episode too

[@Bladerunner93]

Lol Rimmer looks like a member of Spectrum

[@davidjames579]

Yeah! I noticed that too! Not sure if this is just Rimmer's Driving Examiner outfit. But he could be Captain Green.

[@flyhyland]

They joke about this in the Behind The Scenes documentary. They thought it was kind of ridiculous and called him 'Captain Emerald'.

[@ShaunCauser]

If there was ever a conversation that perfectly encapsulated for women, what men talk about with their pals.

[@Cha0sLord93]

backwards- BEST EPISODE EVER!!!!!

[@chriswelcome8102]

Every now and then I go on a binge session of Red Dwarf and every time I come across this scene it always makes me laugh. 0:35 kills me XD

[@jsh78mang]

TY I do not know why That was not on the copy I viewed from netflix. I'll check it again tonight. It pretty much explains everything. Then off to watch the rest of season 5....All Alone , more or less.LOL

[@Delisle4]

God I miss this show!!!

[@Rogli]

@Rogli I did some digging and it turned out I remembered wrong. The remake was called Amanda's and it was in fact Bea Arthur who had the leading part.

[@shirlay]

What a guy!

[@BazTheStoryteller]

Liam Neeson was on Graham Norton, and he said had a childhood crush on Wilma. Tim Burton said he had one on Betty whilst talking about the show on 100 Greatest Cartoons.

[@TheMarc1k1]

OH MY GOD! , This is so copyed from the book (Better then life) When lister and the cat are in the medical center and have to watch the flintstones over and over again - They have the same conversation! but its still funny :D

[@OpinionsAnimationStudios]

My UBER-ULTRA-MEGA-L.O.L.-RAVE-FAVE bit in all of Series III !! Thanx fer it, m8..

[@Vertman3000]

"Why are we even talking about going to bed with Wilma flinstone..." "Your right... this is an insane conversation..." "She'll never leave Fred and we know it..."

[@AnitaLife27]

Love this scene with these actors...great comedy timing. When they read the scene, it's actually funny...not the American Red Dwarf...Horrid.

[@mycroft16]

We don't speak of the American reboot. Ever.

[@KoshVader]

He's in Corination Street now and we sometimes see the cast from Corination Street in Sainsbury's. Someday I may see him, we've already seen about three cast members.

[@PhillyProbe]

Captain Scarlet you're thinking of. ;-) Although it does remind me of Thunderbirds as well. xD

[@KrytenMark]

"She'll never leave Fred, and we know it!" X''D

[@IntheeyesofMorbo]

weeeeelll Id go with Betty..... But Id be thinking of Wilma lol

[@mushroomhead3619]

MORBO DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY! GOODNIGHT!!

[@danielwilliamson6180]

1:32

[@jsh78mang]

Smeg head. LOL we could do this all day.

[@spyrofan9681]

We get that inevitable Red Dwarf Star Trek crossover, give Lister five minutes on the holodeck

[@clintbrew]

I want a doctor who/ red drawf crossover with tennant as the doctor and any of his companions will do

[@SirCraigius]

"Well I would go with Betty, but I'd be thinking of Wilma" XD

[@mycroft16]

The amount of longing dripping in his voice is impressive.

[@Tamashikiri]

Something just dawned on me that never occurred to my in my first viewing of the series: Red Dwarf predicted waifu culture before the term "waifu" ever existed. Seriously, replace Wilma and Betty with anime characters and tell me it doesn't sound like one of the weirder conversations you find on an internet forum!

[@MrNinjaFish]

uh... no?

[@MoskHotel]

To be honest, it actually does. But, Flintstones wasn’t an anime. The Waifu culture does seem familiar.

[@davidjames579]

People, kids in particular, have fancied cartoon characters since the beginning of cartoons.

[@mycroft16]

This goes way further back than Red Dwarf. The joke is funny, and was then, because people have done this for as long as people have existed.

[@pafcrocks]

"Wilma Flintstone is the most desirable women on the planet" Classic!

[@paulsu27]

I fancy Francine from American dad. Lol.

[@PaulTaylorKDEC]

I LOVE redheads ;)

[@Steve_Gee74]

Smoke me a Kipper, I'll be back for breakfast !

[@WasLilChrisnowbigish]

@RichXbox360 i nvr knew they did a us version of fawlty towers. how bad was it?

[@Bikutolu]

"She'll never leave fread and we know it."

[@vascoa]

@rfnalex1 yes it is...... thank you for your input,,,

[@IanGorton]

Yes

[@BachelorChowFlavour]

KZbin is recommending that I buy or rent robocop across from this

[@dragonfitter]

this is crazy she would never leave fred LOL

[@neilgerace355]

Rimmer had to ask Holly for a pen. He didn't Always Have a Pen back then.

[@louistournas120]

The driver seat is on the right side.

[@iainrickwood2623]

Your point being?

[@liftlash98]

This show is made in Britain where the driver's seat is on the right side. Don't really see where you're coming from.

[@MoskHotel]

It’s outer space, so it’s not exactly like on-road vehicles. It really doesn’t bother me.

[@Diablo666Daemon666]

She'll never leave Fred and we know it

[@TheUtubeJunkie]

lol at kryten :D at 1:30

[@dshishod]

the funniest red dwarf moment is when rimmer puts them into quarintine then rimmer goes crazy : rimmer "is anything amidst" lister - "no nothin amidst" rimmer "i'm sitting here with a dress on and army boots. and u c nothin amidst" . kinda have to c it for it to be funny

[@TonyWhite22351]

I know I’m awfully late to the party but the word is amiss , as in not quite right , as opposed to amidst which means amongst or in the middle of ! Sorry to be a pedant but words have meanings !

[@dingo596]

@Matt2sugers he launched the projection unit

[@RichXbox360]

@WasLilChrisnowbigish I've actually never seen it, but from a documentary on UK Gold last year I've heard it's not a patch on the British version, no John Cleese for a start.

[@sarahbee3d]

saw that one yesterday

[@carcar2110]

It wasn't copied from the book. The books took some conversations from the TV shows so that the books weren't totally different. And they had liberty to do so because both writers of the show also wrote the books.

[@kokotovsky]

Can you see that space vehicle? Where?

[@OminousBagel]

Why does KZbin think this is Robocop?

[@Nemoticon]

Yeah... but you'd be thinking of Wilma!

[@TidanLikida]

Red Dwarf is one of the greatest comedies! It's definately the best "outer space" show ever.

[@scat0324]

So, that's the TV Episode "Backwards", first broadcast November 1989, copying from the book "Better than Life", published October 1990? I realise a lot of time travel goes on in the show, but I think you might have got this the wrong way round.

[@Rogli]

@WasLilChrisnowbigish I have a very vague recollection of that show. I know that Jane Wyman(ex mrs Reagan) starred and that the American version left out a minor character: Basil Fawlty....

[@TheSmokerdude]

@solonthehedgehog what means PMSL ??

[@TheUtubeJunkie]

lol at kryten :D

[@RichXbox360]

@thesteveus Me too, but I still would with Wilma.

[@jamiehoward5538]

I never noticed before but kryten has a seatbealt on

[@TomSFox]

How could Kryten eject a hologram?

[@thegrimmretails3777]

I know you asked this a lifetime ago but for the benefit of all parties involved, Rimmer has the light bee from the Nova 5, where they found Kryten. Presumably the light bee is what was ejected since this is before Legion converted Rimmer to hardlight.

[@TomSFox]

@@thegrimmretails3777 Thank you. I finally got closure after 11 years.

[@KRPTV]

It would be funny if there's an alternate reality where this scene is as follows: LISTER: Cat CAT: Mmm? LISTER: Ever seen the Simpsons? CAT: Sure! LISTER: Do you think Marge is sexy? CAT: Marge Simpson?!! LISTER: Maybe we've been alone in deep space too long, but every time I see that show her body drives me crazy! is it me?😀 CAT: I think in all probability, Marge Simpson is the most desirable woman who ever lived! LISTER: That's good, I thought I was going strange! CAT: She's incredible! LISTER: What do you think of Maude? CAT: Maude Flanders? Well I would go with Maude, but I'd be thinking of Marge! LISTER: This is crazy, why are we talking about going to bed with Marge Simpson? CAT: You're right, we're nuts! This is an insane conversation! LISTER: She'll never leave Homer and we know it!😁😁😁

[@Curttehmurt]

Betty > Wilma

[@minicle426]

Evangelion fans 'discussing' which girl they like most.

[@thesteveus]

I always preferred Betty to Wilma

[@owaffs]

@Curttehmurt Definately.

[@spearhafoc]

@rifal004 Right, it's because we're all related to Brett from the Nostromo in Alien. Right.

[@Steve_Gee74]

Red Dwarf III The Saga Continues The Story So Far... Three million years in the future, Dave Lister, the last human being alive, discovers he is pregnant after a liaison with his female self in a parallel universe. His pregnancy concludes with the successful delivery of twin boys, Jim and Bexley.

[@robsug]

@Matt2sugers Good point! Hmmm....

[@Steve_Gee74]

There waw a recap at the very start of Series 3 made in an homage to Star wars - ( text going into screen ) about what happened between series 2 and 3 - I'll post it on here in blocks.

[@owaffs]

@TheSmokerdude Piss My Self Laughing.

[@Steve_Gee74]

Lister rebuilds the 'noid, but is unable to recapture his former personality. Meanwhile, Holly, the increasingly erratic computer, performs a head sex change operation on himself. He bases his new face on Hilly, a female computer with whom he'd once fallen madly in love
