Bamm-Bamm Rubble is a young caveboy and one of the supporting characters of the Flintstones animated franchise. His voice was originated by Don Messick.

He is the adopted son of Barney and Betty, with his origin of superhuman strength a mystery and never explored or hinted at, except for when DC Comics rebooted the series in 2016. His voice was originated by Don Messick.

His best friend and childhood playmate is Pebbles, his next-door neighbor. Although the franchise mainly depicts Bamm-Bamm and Pebbles as kids, they were depicted as dating teenagers in the 1970s, and then finally made the leap into adulthood and marriage in the 1990s, which led to children of their own.

Main article: List of pop culture references to Flintstones
  • In the Full House episode "Working Girl," Joey wants to borrow Jesse's credit card to purchase the Barney Rubble Bath Collection from the Shopping Network, but has to referee between an argument between Jesse and Rebecca. Once it is over, he desperately asks for a credit card so he can also get the Bamm-Bamm soap-on-a-rope. When Jesse gives him his, Joey says, "Thanks, Fred," in Barney's voice.
  • In the film Stone Cold, when Stone meets Ice at the strip club, Ice mocks him three times for looking like an adult Bamm-Bamm.

  • In the film Son of the Mask, baby Alvey switches the TV onto this episode, with a couple of scenes included. The first one is when Fred is knocked in the stomach with an extended plunger while he and Barney hold signs of their kids, and the second one is when Bamm-Bamm throws his playpen around, which gives Alvey the same idea about doing it to his father, saying, "Bam," when he looks at him.
  • In "Episode 18" (series 7) of the UK BBC One quiz show Pointless, the first round of questions that fell into the "Cartoon" category is Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters, with host Alexander Armstrong showing an image of several of them together.

Contestant Rhian picks Bamm-Bamm Rubble. 40 out of the anonymous public also chose Bamm-Bamm correctly.
  • In the Grey's Anatomy episode "Haunted," Jules calls a first year intern freaking out and throwing objects Bamm-Bamm, but when the other interns look confused, she responds, "The Flintstones."

Daffy laments that he should've seen that coming.
