Behind the scenes

In popular culture

WARNING: The following section contains content that may be seen as mature or offensive to some readers. Reader discretion is advised.
Main article: List of pop culture references to Flintstones
  • In the Moesha episode "Credit Card," Hakeem enters the Mitchell household and calls the family the Flintstones, as part of a recurring gag of Hakeem referring to the family as other families in pop culture. The scene is also used as part of a clip show in "Girls' Night In."

Family Guy

Main article: Family Guy
  • "Dammit Janet!:" When Peter and Lois don't return to America after the plane they were on was hijacked in Cuba, it is reported on the news, with the artist's rending capturing a fat man inexplicably married to an attractive redhead, which is in the form of Fred and Wilma.
  • "Peter's Daughter:" Fred takes Wilma to Mr. Stoneberg to get a legal separation for not letting him back in after Baby Puss removes him from their house and locks him outside. He had been knocking for 20 minutes and shouting "Wilma!" but she claims to not have heard because she was taking a shower, but he believes that she was simply ignoring him and goes on further about her spending all his money on expensive clothes and hairdos, and not being available for sex, the "passive aggressive bitch" she is. Bergman and Alex Bornstein voice Fred and Wilma, respectively.
  • "Road to the Multiverse:" Stewie and Brian travel to an alternate universe of Quahog, which resembles Bedrock and has a laugh track. Peter and Lois are now called Rock Peter and Rock Lois and are dressed and have the same hair styles as Fred and Wilma. The word "rock" is placed before and in place of other words as well, so they had rock sex which included Rock Peter rocking Rock Lois up the rock last rock night (which also included a "rockphylactic" in the form of a frog, "Ribbeted for your pleasure.") As you can imagine, Stewie and Brian wanted to get the "rock out of there."

The Simpsons

Main article: The Simpsons
  • "Kamp Krusty:" The couch gag has the family running up to the couch, only to find the Flintstones occupying it. In 1999, there was a recreated limited edition cel, which was signed by William Hanna, Joseph Barbera, and Simpsons creator, Matt Groening.
  • "Lady Bouvier's Lover:" Skinner tries to sabotage Mr. Burns's chances with Marge's mother by telling him the names of Homer, Marge, and Maggie are Fred, Wilma, and Pebbles, respectively. Mr. Burns then hands over a box of chocolates, eliciting a "Yabba-dabba-do!" from Homer.
  • "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular:" In a semi-serious behind the scenes look at the series, Troy McClure monologue references The Flintstones and the titular family by referring to the Simpsons as "America's favorite non-prehistoric cartoon family."
  • Simpsons Comics #31 - "Radioactive Homer:" Dr. Hibbert and his wife are dressed as Fred and Wilma, respectively, at a masquerade ball.
  • "Beyond Blunderdome:" At the Hollywood Auto Museum, when Homer stammers to find a getaway car for him and Mel Gibson to escape the Hollywood executives, he sees the Flintmobile with mannequins of Fred, Wilma, and Dino with his head accurately poking through the roof.
  • "Treehouse of Horror XII:" In the opening sequence, Homer and Marge are dressed as Fred and Wilma, respectively, for Halloween.
  • "Mobile Homer:" While taking the RV by themselves, Bart and Lisa find a "Flintstones Fun Map" instead of a real map, which involves the Flintstones riding Dino home, moving around the Rubbles, Hoppy, and the Great Gazoo.
  • "Little Orphan Millie:" Homer's song to Marge, "Beautiful Eyes," contains the line, "She's the Wilma to my Fred."
  • "The Ten-Per-Cent Solution:" The Adventures of Fatso Flanagan plays at the Museum of TV and Television, which Marge calls a rip-off of The Honeymooners. Homer jokes that everything is a rip-off of The Honeymooners, and grabs Marge calling her the greatest, to which Marge affectionately calls Homer several other fat sitcom husbands before getting to his name, which includes Ralph from The Honeymooners, Fred from The Flintstones, Archie from All in the Family, and Doug from The King of Queens.
  • "Whistler's Father:" Helen describes the Simpsons' house as visiting the Flintstones, which is followed by Santa's Little Helper walking through the living room with a giant bone in his mouth.
  • "The Many Saints of Springfield:" When Louie can't believe that "fatso" Homer has such a hot wife, Johnny Tightlips says it's a sitcom thing, using Doug from The King of Queens, and Fred Flintstone as examples.
