Video of the Week: A Spooky Fruity Pebbles Commercial

 There's been no shortage of memorable Halloween-related commercials over the years, and the Fruity Pebbles cereal has had several. Check out this one from 1999, which sees Fred and Barney getting into the spirit themselves. It also gives us a look at Barney without his skin, if that's something you want to see. It's a pretty memorable commercial with some great animation courtesy of the legendary Scott Shaw. He's done tons of work for The Flintstones and Hanna-Barbera characters in general, and during this period, he oversaw many of the Fruity Pebbles commercials. Pretty much all of the ads in this era were well-animated and full of love for The Flintstones, and you can thank him for that. Perhaps another time I'll look at the evolution of the Fruity Pebbles ads, but if I were to pick out a "golden age" for them, it would certainly have to be when he was in charge. But don't simply take my word for it, see it for yourself right below!
