-->--'''Kermit the Frog''', ''Series/TheMuppetShow''

* ''GarfieldHis9Lives'', where {{Garfield}}'s first life is a sabretooth cat. The animated special takes one step further:
-->'''Narrator''': In those days, the first everything was crawling up out of the sea: the first snake. The first chicken. Crab grass. [[AnachronismStew The first real estate salesman.]]

[[ArtisticLicensePaleontology And there were]] ''[[ArtisticLicensePaleontology no]]'' [[ArtisticLicensePaleontology dinosaurs living alongside them]], no matter what [[ComicBook/ChickTracts Jack Chick]] wants you to think (well, except for the birds).

* The ''IceAge'' movies are the TalkingAnimal version. It manages to sneak in dinosaurs [[HumanPopsicle inside blocks of ice]]. Somehow the onset of the ice age and its ending were only a sequel's width apart.The third movie has living dinosaurs, but they at least have the decency to live in a LostWorld. And the fourth will add the continental drift! Geology means nothing to Creator/BlueSkyStudios.

* The 1940 movie ''One Million BC'' and its 1967 remake titled ''{{Film/One Million Years BC}}''. May be the origin of the trope. The 1967 version is chiefly remembered for the mind-blowing sight of RaquelWelch (MsFanservice incarnate)in a FurBikini.

* Replace dinosaurs with pyramid-building Egyptians and you get ''10,000 B.C.'', which no one with even the slightest interest in ''actual'' prehistory, paleontology, or archaeology should bother even trying to watch. It's implied the leaders are in fact Atlanteans. It's stupid, but at least it isn't restrained. And in fairness, the movie was an obvious homage to ''One Million Years BC'', and adopts the same "eh whatever" attitude towards accuracy.

* ''TheFlintstones'', naturally

* In one episode of ''TheFairlyOddParents'', Timmy wishes there was no such thing as technology, so Cosmo and Wanda turn the clock back to the stone age.
* ''TheBackyardigans'' sometimes pretend to be cavemen, though the dinos are optional.
* The ''PhineasAndFerb'' episode "Tri-Stone Area", set in 27, 000 B.C., where "Phineagrunk And Gurb" invent the wheel.
* In the ''{{DuckTales}}'' episode "Marking Time", Scrooge literally travels back to 1 million BC to find a land in which caveducks coexisted with dinosaurs. And yet, this is something of an aversion; after all, dinosaurs did coexist with ancestral ducks. However, it does therefore imply that the DuckUniverse takes place in the Paleocene, which would make sense, since that was a time dominated by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastornis six-foot birds]].

* Gary Larson occasionally depicted dinosaurs and cavemen together in ''TheFarSide'', and not without some shame on his part, even though it was [[RuleOfFunny for the sake of humor]]. See the page quote for SomewhereAPalaeontologistIsCrying.

* YorTheHunterFromTheFuture starts this way, complete with dinosaurs, giant lizards, women in furskin bikinis and barbarian heroes, only for it to be subverted with it being in fact a future world, not a prehistoric one.

* The opening scenes of Creator/MelBrooks' Epic ''{{History Of The World Part One}}'', during which the cavemen, um, "[[ADateWithRosiePalms discover themselves]]".

* ''YearOne'' features Hunter Michael Cera and Gatherer Creator/JackBlack as cavemen gatecrashing Biblical-narrative events. The problem is that while the story of Cain and Abel could be set at OneMillionBC, early Israelites like Abraham are much less so. And ''then'' there's those Romans showing up. AnachronismStew all around!

[[HulkSpeak communicated primarily in grunts]], but this didn't stop them from inventing a sophisticated system of BambooTechnology, most of which incorporated rocks, sinews, and small anthropomorphic dinosaurs who really didn't seem to mind the fact that they'd been locked under a counter and forced to serve as a primitive garbage disposal for the vast majority of their waking lives. ("[[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones It's a living]]", after all...)

* ''Film/QuestForFire'', one of the more accurate depictions of the Stone Age. In a piece of truly inspired casting, RonPerlman was one of the cavemen.

* In the ''{{DuckTales}}'' episode "Marking Time", Scrooge literally travels back to 1 million BC to find a land in which caveducks coexisted with dinosaurs. And yet, this is something of an aversion; after all, dinosaurs did coexist with seabirds. However, it does therefore imply that the DuckUniverse takes place in the Paleocene, which would make sense, since that was a time dominated by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastornis six-foot birds]].

* This is the setting for Gottlieb's ''Pinball/{{Caveman}}''

See {{Prehistoria}} for the video game version.

* ''TheJourneymanProject'' briefly has you go back 200 million years into the past for a few minutes to obtain a disc containing the entire history of the world, which was placed far enough back in time that the likelyhood of someone tampering with it would be minimal. It is after this task that you begin your real mission.
* ''VideoGame/JoeAndMac'' takes the most cartoonish version and runs (and jumps) with it. Big stone wheels, NubileSavage babes and PteroSoarer rides are all included.

* In an episode of ''SheepInTheBigCity'', General Specific and Private Public end up here while trying to chase Sheep through time. This being a PostModern show, the first thing they encounter is a sign reading "[[LampshadeHanging Welcome to the most clichéd time portal of all.]]" (which leads Specific to believe they are in "1975 New Jersey").

* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' did three shorts of this type: Prehistoric Porky, which takes place in One Billion, Trillion BC and shows Cavepig Porky's near-fatal chase with a saber-tooth tiger, Daffy and the Dinosaur, which takes place "millions and billions and trillions of years ago" and shows a caveman hunting Daffy Duck, and Pre-Hysterical Hare, where Bugs Bunny finds a caveman's documentary about life in 10,000 B. C. E.

* The ''PhineasAndFerb'' episode "The Tri-Stone Area", set in 27, 000 B. C., where Phineas And Ferb invent the wheel.
