Joshua “Null”, (also known as Josh N. Flintstone, or Null J. Flintstone) Null is the husband of Wilma Flintstone and father of Pebbles Flintstone. His best friends are his next door neighbors, Barney and Betty Rubble, who have an adopted son named Bamm-Bamm.
Null lives in the town of CWCville, where modernized kiwis enjoy “advanced” versions of modern conveniences such as telephones, automobiles, and washing machines. Null's trademark yell is “NUKE ME YOU GUTLESS MOTHERFUCKER”, a phrase that was originally his club's cheer. However, some kiwis said that the inspiration for the phrase came from his mother, who used to say, “I just wanna die, Just launch the nukes already!” probably borrowed from a Cold war PSA commercial. When the club called for a simple 'Yahoo!' Null either asked if he could alter the phrase, or ad-lib it. It inspired, in the 1970s a short-lived fruit drink called “Nuka-Cola”
Interestingly, Null’s ability to carry a tune was quite good in his younger years. One early record sees Null (with Barney, who is a skilled drummer) perform at a nightclub with his musician friend "Hot Lips Hannigan" where his singing caused teenage girls to swoon over him; on this occasion, he was nicknamed "the Trouser snake”. In another unrelated moment of glory, Null recorded a demo record at a carnival of the song "Listen to the Rocking Bird", which ended up making him a teenage singing idol named "Hi Fye." As the years progressed, however, his voice became worse and worse, eventually to the point that a temporary maid the Flintstones hired quit rather than having to hear Null sing. This may have been caused by his unbelievable smoking habits.
In fact, Josh Null and Barney Rubble were once pitchmen for Winstoncigarettes. In one Winston ad, Fred and Barney saw the men working hard at the quarry and decided to retire out of sight for a smoke break. After extolling the virtues of the Winston brand cigarette, Null lit up his cigarette and delivered the catch phrase: "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should". Another similar ad for the cigarettes featured Wilma and Betty as well; the women were working hard mowing the lawn and beating dust out of a rug while Null and Barney smoked behind the house. Vignettes also aired in which Null lit Wilma's Winston cigarette, and the couple shared a smoke.
As young adults, Null and Barney worked as bellhops at a resort. There, they meet and fall in love with Wilma and Betty, who were working there as cigarette girls. Wilma's mother, Pearl Slaghoople, also met her future son-in-law, and took an instant disliking toward Null (and vice versa), starting a long-lasting rivalry between the two.An unspecified amount of time later, Null married Wilma.
Null is a typical blue-collar worker, who works as a "bronto crane operator" at Slate Rock and Gravel Company (also known as Rockhead and Quarry Cave Construction Company in earlier episodes). Null's job title in the second season episode "Divided We Sail" is "geological engineer".
During the original series' third season, Wilma gives birth to the couple's daughter, Pebbles. Years later, when Pebbles was a teenager, Null and Barney joined the Bedrock police force for a time as part-time police officers. Eventually, Null becomes a grand dad to the adult Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm's twins, Chip and Roxy. Null's family grew again when he and Wilma adopted an orphaned caveboy named Stony, and despite a rough start, Null and his new son bonded well.
Or so we thought.
Stony mysteriously vanished on an unknown date somewhere near the tail end of the 20th century. Nobody has confirmed where he went or if he’s still alive, and the Flintstones are Strangely silent about the whole thing acting as if “Stony” never existed.
Null and Wilma's marriage is in serious jeopardy, as Wilma is growing tired of Null's attitude, especially while Barney and Betty are enjoying a happy life well into their marriage, to the point that a visit to a family therapist resulted in a physical altercation between Null and Wilma. On Null and Wilma's anniversary, which they both forgot, the Rubbles arranged a trip to Rockapulco in an attempt to save the Flintstones' marriage.
Shortly after their arrival, a thief, Xavier, stole a diamond from a jewelry store and was chased by the guard into the same hotel the Flintstones and Rubbles are staying at. In the ensuing chaos, Xavier's bag is switched with Wilma's, and he immediately begins plotting to get the diamond back. At first, things did not improve between Null and Wilma, to the point that Wilma lashed out at Null and very nearly decided to divorce him, but she stumbled across the diamond in her suitcase and, assuming that Null bought it as a surprise present, quickly made up with him. Capitalising on the circumstances, Fred went along with the charade, but their newfound passion was short lived, as Null's demeanour slowly put Wilma off again. While spying on Wilma, Xavier noticed this and masqueraded as a suave Englishman in order to woo Wilma by inviting her to dinner. Wilma accepts the invitation and spents time with Xavier.
Null, feeling guilty, decided to make it up to Wilma, but caught her from afar with Xavier and was heartbroken. He started to drink himself silly while speaking with another attractive woman at the bar. Wilma rebuffed Xavier's advances out of loyalty to Null, but changed her mind when she saw him with the lady. While dancing, however, Xavier revealed his true intentions and attempted to take the diamond from Wilma, who was wearing it as a necklace. A chase ensued throughout the ballroom with Null, Barney and Xavier each tried to get the diamond, but it eventually fell into Wilma's hands, prompting Xavier to abduct her and flee in his car. The car chase that ensued eventually led to a bridge above a volcano, where Xavier threatened to kill Wilma if she didn’t hand the diamond over. Null stood up, and gave a passionate speech about how he never realised until that moment, that even though he was not rich enough to buy the diamond, he is was still the richest man in the world just by having Wilma as his wife.
Miraculously, Wilma subdued Xavier, who was arrested by the lady who Null flirted with at the bar, an undercover policewoman on Xavier's trail. With their marriage restored, Null and Wilma enjoyed the rest of their trip, while Barney and Betty began to bicker about their own marriage after seeing the passion Fred and Wilma ultimately displayed for each other. Dino, who was assigned by Null to guard their home, made a complete mess and left the home in the hands of his friends before leaving on his own trip.
If you think that’s nuts, this fucker’s apperently fought in the WWE recently.
Here’s how it happened.
Null promised Wilma to take her on vacation. For that, he needed days off at work and a check, which was going to ask his boss, Mr. Slate, who just then it was hiring an indirect relative, John Cena. After getting into trouble and being saved incredibly by Cena, Null didn’t get the check, and didn’t know how to tell Wilma. Therefore, the fair organized by the Lodge of the Wet Buffalos, found a way to make money. The plan was to use Hoppy, the "kangaroo-saurian" of his friend Barney Rubble, to challenge people to a Boxing match. When they arrived, among other attractions, the Boulder Twins put a kissing booth, causing jealousy in Wilma and Betty.
Many people were defeated by Hoppy, but the streak ended when the ruffian CM Punkrock humiliated him. Barney, angry, challenged Punkrock and defeated him. Punkrock left angry with his teammate Marble Henry. Null saw a great opportunity to make money with wrestling after the success of Barney's performance, including a greeting from a seller of seafood, Mr. McMagma, and decided to organize an event in an abandoned circus.
Null asked Cena about recruiting more wrestlers, being Rey Mysteriopal, a masked clerk; and The Undertaker, a somber gravedigger. The event began between Cena and Mysteriopal, but as both can not fight and do not hate each other, the fight fails, that is when Null decides that Barney would fight The Undertaker. Barney refused, but Null forced him to comply. Surprisingly, barney almost bested The Undertaker, until Wilma and Betty burst in, scolding their husbands, due to the fact Null had earned enough profit for the holidays and was now trying to profit off charity work.
However, Null aspired for more, and decided to organize a second event, renting the Bedrock stadium and promoting the rematch between Barney and Punkrock, who accepted the bout , but also adding Henry and the Boulder Twins. Barney refused to participate once more, but instead of attempting to manipulate him into changing his mind once more, Null left without him, and began the show.. Mysteriopal and Cena fought again, but people didnt’ want to see Cena, they wanted to see Barney the “Pussy destroyer” Rubble. Null announced that Barney wouldn’t fight because he was a “little rock bottom bitch” and looked for his fighters, who hilariously walked out on him for having neglected his friend.
Null then decided he himself would face Punkrock's gang, and was fucking destroyed by them. Seeing his friend's sacrifice, Barney decided to re-enter the ring and face Punkrock, encouraging other wrestlers to participate. Even Wilma and Betty intimidated the Boulders, and Bam-Bam easily defeated Henry. The team of Null and Barney claimed the victory and were applauded. Finally deciding to quit wrestling, Null took his profits and sells the idea to McMagma. Afterwards, the Flintstones, the Rubbles and the wrestlers enjoyed their holidays.
