* [[''ComicBook/TheFlintstones2016 The Flinstones]]'' takes the setting of the animated series and uses it to satirize modern society. Many technologies are animal-based, like a small elephant serving as a vacuum cleaner.
* Played with in ''ComicBook/TheGoddamned''. The story is set 16 centuries after Adam and Eve's exile from Eden and before The Great Flood, and the most advanced tech we ever see are iron weapons and wheeled caravans, though Cain's recognition of these advancements imply that they are rediscovered and reinvented as civilizations rise and fall.

Stonepunk is a sub-genre of the PunkPunk science fiction genre. Stonepunk focuses on pre-technological developments in prehistoric times, its juxtapositions of the modern world with the primitive, and the effects of an early form of "advanced" technology on society, like ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'', based on primitive materials such as rock, fire, clay, rope, wood and water. Unlike most classic CyberPunk or SteamPunk influenced fiction like ClockPunk, the Stone Age supplies the inspiration behind a modified form of technology based on the materials provided by the natural elements and surrounding environment. BambooTechnology is common. Depending on the setting, there may be SufficientlyAdvancedBambooTechnology as well. This is the most likely PunkPunk to be PlayedForLaughs, given its most famous examples.

* ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'''s prehistoric world has humans and sentient dinosaurs coexisting (not at all peacefully), with the humans somehow contriving to have gear that's more advanced than the stuff from the far-off future (including robot parts and ''guns'') while the dinosaurs have a medieval-ish castle with remote-opened doors.

%%* ''Animation/TheMissingLink''

* ''VideoGame/ZenoClash'' and it's sequel are set in a prehistoric [[spoiler: actually post-apocalyptic]] society where weapons and houses are made out of bone and stone, the only culture is built around MightMakesRight, no written language exists, and any attempts to establish laws and civilization are met with hostile resistance.

The defining feature of Stone Punk is the representation of modern inventions and technology but made with primitive materials. The idea here is that (for instance) road signs and furnishings would not have existed, but as a RuleOfFunny and in order to further highlight the primary societal differences they have been included. Having the familiar aspects can make the foreign aspects seem even more foreign to the audience, which is used as a method of storytelling as a sort of constant reminder that "this work is set in a completely different world".
