Summary[]
A celebrity roast for Fred Flintstone is held on his 48th birthday, featuring Yogi Bear, Jabberjaw, Huckleberry Hound, Scooby-Doo, The Banana Splits, Hong Kong Phooey, Quick Draw McGraw, Snagglepuss and the Hair Bear Bunch.
The show is hosted by Roy Clark and Bonnie Franklin, with special guest stars The Sylvers and featuring Course & Young, the Fentons, Sashi Kuchiki, the Ice Capettes and a special appearance by the Skatebirds.
When Roy and Bonnie announce the guest of honor, Fred is at home watching the event on TV. But the show must go on.

When Fred finally arrives, the guests perform a "Happy Birthday" salute.
