Yea, verily.

This one might be said to stretch the "comedy" label (it's really not all that funny), but the late 70's soundtrack, groovy hippy-dippy animation style, and solemn intonation of Heston's narration — as well as the bizarre sight of Fred and Wilma (sans Pebbles) living in a cave on the side of a mountain — makes it worth the nostalgic trip.
The Flintstones: Energy A National Issue TV Special 1977 - upgraded [YouTube: 27 min]
Energy: A National Issue is a 1977 American animated educational film starring Fred and Wilma Flintstone from The Flintstones franchise, and narrated by Charlton Heston. It was produced in 1976 by Hanna-Barbera Productions for the Center for Strategic and International Studies of Georgetown University and was also the final Flintstones production to feature Alan Reed as the voice of Fred Flintstone, recorded very shortly before his death in 1977. The film was distributed to schools on 16 mm format and was also broadcast that year in many areas as a syndicated television special.

Not at all funny, but absolutely hysterical! Unwatchably so!

Again, stretches the bounds of "comedy", but is nonetheless, amusing and takes-ya-back.

The Flintstones: On the Rocks: Aired only twice (once in America in 2001 and once in Japan in 2002), this Cartoon Network original programming has achieved near-legendary status. For years, only available on torrents, it is now parked proudly on Internet Archive.
A love-letter to the first two seasons of
Flintstones and its more mature target-demographic, this painstakingly crafted homage is worth every moment of unironic savoring.
Starring Jeff Bergman as Fred, Tress MacNeille as Wilma, and Kevin Michael Richardson and Grey DeLisle as Barney and Betty respectively, it even credits Wil Wheaton as "Singer (bass)". Enjoy.

One might well think I'm beatin' the Flintstones-thing to death, but in my defense, I've got a soft-spot for this beleaguered franchise.
And the current offering is just too good to pass up. A trade film never intended to be seen outside the hallowed halls of the Anheuser-Busch company, we're treated to the awesome spectacle of Fred & Barney shilling for the Busch brand as well as to the proto-Lynchian sight a soft-spoken, disembodied female hand calming the haggard, furrowed brow of any drinker lucky enough to be quaffing a Busch.
Okay okay, the 1967 production — yet again — is not exactly funny. But it
is a bizarre-enough curiosity to make it worth the time of fans of cartoons, retro, or midcentury corporate culture.

The Stimulation Clicker [Online "Game"]
This is diverting, delightful, addictive, apparently interminable, and a total waste of time.

Enjoy!
*And though not technically a Comedy Vid, no other "Game" thread in Gen Discussion seemed to fit and it doesn't exactly call for its own thread.

It recommends a bigger screen. Sadly, being a mobile user, I won't be able to experience it.
