In this episode, in which Barney is taken for an Arabian prince, I'm wondering if maybe at the time the producers of the cartoon were holding a contest to find a secret message or something. The scene in which the harem girls are released and they are pursuing both Barney and Fred, in among their giddy female tittering one female voice can be CLEARLY heard to say"I'll take a fat Fred!" What do you think?
Great minds run in the same channel, and fools think alike. -

YesI just watched it again, and you're right. "I'll take his fat friend". In the second round of female tittering I also heard "Let's grab 'em!". The point I was making when I first mentioned it was perhaps a contest at the time. Find the hidden message(s). Ya think?

I've seen this..it's from the sixth and final season, 1965-66, and it's one of those, where, with Fred and Barney in a confining situation (Barney as a prince, a mistaken identity case for him a la that season's "Stonefinger Caper" where it was a spy rather than royalty, with Gazoo,both of these having Gazoo voice Harvey Korman in them and solely credited [see next paragraph]. then him AND Fred locked up) willy-nilly, where you just wish that a la "No Biz Like Show Biz"
it would all turn out to be some silly nightmare
Another odd fact about this is that Harvey Korman, for the first time, is heard in a Hanna-Barbera cartoon despite it NOT having his standard character Gazoo as before (and he'd do a Gazoo like character for the agent
/Green Goose, the villian
in the Columbia-released theatrical, 1966's "Man Called Flinstone which came out just after the final season of the Flintstones ended as well as the Mad Hatter in 1966's Alice starring HB staple Janet Waldo as Alice and non-HB staple/Reprise records/Rat Packer Sammy Davis Jr.,as the Cheshire Cat. Harvey Korman would, in the 1994 Universal/Imagine-released hit "Flintstones"movie with John Goodman play a Gazoo like "Dictbird".]
.Also Harvey Korman is I believe, as I mention, the only actor guest billed for additional voices, like in the similiar spy themed "Stonefinger Caper" with Gazoo (the one where Barney's likeness shared with a spy gets him and, by association., Fred, kidnapped by an evil spy's goons). though I think, as for "Royal Rubble"'s "Other Voices" credits, others (Henry Corden and Don Messick, such as Bamm Bamm) were listed as well..
Amanda Bynes is hot and Lindsay Lohan is not.
