In any story that takes place in Hollywood Prehistory, you're going to see someone invent the wheel. Common fodder for It Will Never Catch On. In almost all cases, the wheel in question will simply be a large freestanding disc, either carved out of rough stone or cut from a large log, occasionally with a short wooden axle. Expect little to no exploration for any actual applications for this marvelous new invention, as though the inventor was aiming for the concept of the wheel itself. Often the wheel is some shape other than round, indicating a work in progress. Most examples of this trope are guilty of some form of Artistic License – History and/or Anachronism Stew, since the wheel was invented later than most people think — around 6,000 years ago, just about at the border between prehistory and history proper. This is particularly evident when The Discovery of Fire is shown in the same setting, despite predating the wheel by at least 700,000 years in Real Life. Nothing to do with Reinventing the Wheel. |

The subject of several cartoons in The Far Side. Take these below for example: "Early Test Drivers" features a caveman strapped to a giant stone wheel while several others prepare to push it off a hill. Another sees a caveman sleeping in front of a stone wheel with a hungry sabertooth tiger walking up to him. The caption is "Thag Anderson becomes the first victim of sleeping at the wheel". Three cavemen are holding food in the fire with their bare hands. Another dweebish-looking one wearing Nerd Glasses has put his food on a stick. |

Averted in the Icerigger trilogy, set on a frozen planet where the natives skate more than they walk. Justified in that sleds, sleighs, and iceboats were invented and extensively used, whereas wheels would be useless in their ice-covered habitat. | |

"Caveman Grover" invents the wheel in a Sesame Street skit about shapes. He and Biff are trying to get a heavy rock to the top of a hill. First he tries affixing square wheels, then triangular ones. He finally gets the shape right, and gets the rock to the top of the hill — but it gets away from them and rolls back down the hill, landing on top of Grover. He decides that his next invention will be the Band-Aid. | |

There were some hilarious, albeit ridiculous bad, attempts of inventing technology in a prehistoric episode of the British Dennis the Menace cartoon. Not only was there a very much non-round wheel, there were also about two attempts at what were supposed to be tanks... with the very much caveman notion of just pushing them off a cliff at the enemy, complete with loud smash as it hit the floor. | |

Played with in Futurama; instead of being in the past, it was so far in the future that people had forgotten about the wheel (everything hovered). Not only was it the wrong shape, but they also needed somebody to pull it, which turned out to be Fry, of course. Also they used a whip. | |

In the original The Moomins comics, the family get sent back in time and set to work as slaves in a quarry. Moominpappa invents the wheel and tells the other slaves it'll help them carry rocks... but since he doesn't explain how, they try to carry the wheel and the rocks at the same time. | |
