Pebbles Flintstone is a young cavegirl and one of the supporting characters of the Flintstones animated franchise. Her voice was originated by Jean Vander Pyl.

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

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 Open All Night episode "Buckaroo Buddies," Bud sings along with "(Meet) the Flintstones." When the song is over and the episode begins, he is excited and tells his estranged son, Terry, this is going to be a good one because it's about Pebbles taking home a stray dinosaur, but he doesn't want to spoil the rest.
  • In the alternate outfit gag in the Buzz on Maggie episode "Lunch Lady/Love Stinks," Maggie wears a prehistoric outfit with hair similar to Pebbles's.
  • 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. The contestants have to be able to pick out all the obscure characters that 100 anonymous public people had been able to guess. The contestant Val picks Pebbles Flintstone. Osman circles Pebbles and says she was born at the end of the third season of The Flintstones. 34 of the anonymous public also chose Pebbles correctly.
  • In celebration of Warner Bros.' 100th anniversary, they produced a special short which had the Looney Tunes characters dressed as Flintstones characters while taking a group photo in Bedrock, with Tweety as Pebbles, which nicely paired him with Sylvester as Bamm-Bamm. And, yes, Tweety is still a boy.

Family Guy

Main article: Family Guy
  • "Road to Rupert:" There is 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.
  • "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.

Full House

  • "Our Very First Promo:" Joey and Jesse work on Michelle's hair, with Joey trying a Pebbles hairdo, but Jesse says she looks like Don King. This is shown again in "Happy Birthday, Babies, Part 1."
  • "Take My Sister, Please:" Joey impresses Lisa with his imitation of Fred saying "Yabba-dabba-doo" after saying he cried for a week after watching Fred and Wilma have Pebbles, which occurred in "The Blessed Event."
  • "Happy Birthday, Babies, Part 2:" The family hosts a Flintstones-themed birthday party for Michelle, who is dressed like a cavegirl with a Pebbles-like hairdo.

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.
  • "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.
  • "Sideshow Bob Roberts:" When Sideshow Bob is elected the new mayor, he uses his power to send Bart to kindergarten, where he guesses correctly the shape of a triangle and is rewarded with first choice of a toy to play with, which is a talking Flintstones phone, with Pebbles on one of the buttons, but Bart chooses to hear Fred's voice.
  • "Mobile Homer:" While taking the RV by themselves, Bart and Lisa find a "Flintstones Fun Map" (which has the Flintstones, Rubbles, their pets, and Gazoo) instead of a real map.
