Yabba-Dabba-Doo

"Yabba-Dabba-Doo" is the catchphrase used by Fred Flintstone. The phrase expresses a lot of emotion mostly anger, surprise, or sometimes excitement. Yabba Dabba Doo! ; Alan Reed, voice actor who provided Fred's voice from 1960 to 1977, reportedly said the inspiration for the phrase came from his mother, who used to say, "A little dab'll do ya," probably borrowed from a Brylcreem commercial. He said this instead of, "Yahoo" which was what was in the script.
