Behind the scenes

In popular culture

  • In The Fairly OddParents TV movie Channel Chasers (part two in syndication), Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda are sent into a parody of The Flintstones called The Meatflints. While "driving away" from a sabretooth tiger in Flintmobile-like car, Timmy points out that if the cars in this show are powered by feet, shouldn't they just keep running?
  • In the Baby Looney Tunes episode "The Wheel Deal," Bugs and his friends take their bikes apart to make a new one for Tweety, with the first choice being one that resembled a tiny Flintmobile, accompanied by a "(Meet) The Flintstones" jingle, but Bugs commentated that it was "too old."
  • In the Comic Book Men episode "Wookie Fever," Peter Mayhew, who played Chewbacca in the Star Wars movies, mentioned how his legs would stick out the bottom of the Millenium Falcon cockpit, which called for Brian to compare him to Fred driving the Flintmobile with his feet.
  • In the "Dan Levy/Pheobe Bridgers" episode of Saturday Night Live, there is a sketch of a Universal lot tour, where the guide mentions to the tourists they can see the Flintmobile (seen off-screen) from the first live-action Flintstones movie.

Family Guy

  • "Road to Rupert:" In a reenactment of "(Meet) The Flintstones," Meg drives Peter to the Quahog Drive-In, where he sticks his head through the car roof like Dino and then has Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm placed on top of his head.
  • "Road to the Multiverse:" Stewie and Brian travel to an alternate universe of Quahog, which resembles Bedrock. Peter and Lois have become versions of Fred and Wilma, with Peter's car now closely resembling the Flintmobile.
  • "Quagmire's Baby:" Quagmire is selling a tape of The Best of the World's Wildest Police Chases, which features the police in a high speed pursuit of Fred in the Flintmobile, also carrying Dino, Pebbles, and Bamm-Bamm. Dino pops his head through the roof, and Fred places the babies on top of Dino's head. Fred manages to avoid them until he enters a drive-in movie theater and smashes into a snack bar. Fred tries to escape over a fence, but is caught and clobbered by the police. The narrator finishes his commentary by saying "Yabba-Dabba-Don't."
