Main article: List of pop culture references to Flintstones

In the Family Guy episode "Wasted Talent," when the final scroll to entering the Pawtucket Brewery was found, Peter disappointingly asked aloud what he was going to do now which was followed by the Great Gazoo popping up asking the "dum dum" what he could do for him, but all Peter wanted was to be left alone. Annoyed at Peter's treatment of him, Gazoo whined that it wasn't always about him, the "fatso."
Intended as a Looney Tunes theatrical short, Attack of the Drones, a Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones parody, featured Duck Dodgers addressing a council made of sci-fi characters from other franchises, including the Great Gazoo.
In The Venture Bros. episode "Now Museum--Now You Don't," Colonel Gentleman compares Brainulo to the Great Gazoo.
In the Saturday Night Live episode "Paul Rudd/Beyonce," Snagglepuss (played by Bobby Moynihan) was a guest on "Weekend Update," where he gives his thoughts on California's ban on same sex marriage. After being "outed" by Seth Myers, he reveals he is in a relationship with the Great Gazoo (played by Will Forte).
In the Comic Book Men episode "Batcycle on Broad," Ming said Mike looked like the Great Gazoo while wearing his motorcycle helmet.
In the Wander Over Yonder episode "The Cartoon," Dominator watches The Mystery Kids Mysteries, which has a parody of Dipper Pines called Skipper, who wears a bulbous hat with one antenna similar to the Great Gazoo's bulbous hat with two antennas.
In the Disney+ film Flora & Ulysses, George keeps a Dorbz Ridez Great Gazoo perched on the top of the hood of his car, which accidentally gets hit by a tranquilizer dart while the animal control officer tries to hit Ulysses, the squirrel.

"Homerpalooza:" There is a guy in the crowd wearing a t-shirt with Great Gazoo, although his skin is yellow, his helmet is red, and his clothes are blue.
"The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase:" At the end of the episode, one of the new season 9 storylines that Troy McClure previews is about a character named Ozmodiar who only Homer can see, a parody of the Great Gazoo who only Fred and Barney can see.
Simpsons Comics #52 - "A Springfield Christmas Carol:" Bart and Lisa write their own version of A Christmas Carol, in which Ozmodiar comes to Homer Cratchit who wants to rekindle the magic of Christmas for C. Montgomery Scrooge. Ozmodiar plans to take Scrooge on a trip to show Scrooge the error of his ways, but Scrooge is prepared for his arrival, and sends out his own companion in the form of Smilin' Joe Fission, which leads to a fight between the two, leading to the destruction of the world.
"HOMЯ:" When Lisa is confused from watching an anime, Bart says that cartoons don't have to make sense, with Ozmodiar popping up only for Bart to see him agree. He then pops up after Homer gets everybody fired while the plant is brought up to code and calls him a "dumb-dumb," which is what Gazoo would call Fred and Barney, particularly Fred.
Simpsons Comics #112 - "The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase: Quickly Cancelled Comic Book Cavalcade:" At the end of the comic, host Troy McClure ends things by saying that if they ever run the dry well of spin-off ideas, there's always Ozmodiar, which is followed by a fake advertisement for a special winter issue of an already monthly series called Always Ozmodiar.
"Mobile Homer:" While taking the RV by themselves, Bart and Lisa find Homer's "Flintstones Fun Map" instead of a real map, which involves the Flintstones riding Dino home, moving around the Rubbles, Hoppy, and Gazoo.
"Homer's Adventures Through the Windshield Glass:" In the special opening sequence of the 750th episode, when Homer gets knocked by Marge's car while in the garage, Great Gazoo is one of the background characters watching.

"Divisive:" Fred and Wilma, along with Marge Simpson, Peggy Hill, Louise Belcher, and Francine Smith, appear on a chat show called Love, Cartoons & Hip Hop, hosted by Nina Parker, in Cartoon City. Wilma and Marge used to be best friends, and went back as far as "brontosaurus and fries," but changed when she became a "yellow-faced bitch" for putting all her "business" on the street, like sleeping with an African American Great Gazoo, but she actually hadn't. Great Gazoo then pops up and brags about it and disappears (saying "Toodle-oo cave N-words") quickly to avoid Fred's wrath.
"Rebooty Call:" In the segment "Dababy Yoda," a parody of the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, the same African American Gazoo is on the dance floor with a bunch of other aliens.
