GAZOO

Gazoo is a name used for multiple fictional characters and real-world brand entities. The most prominent usage is The Great Gazoo, a fictional alien character from Hanna-Barbera's The Flintstones. The Great Gazoo appears in the later seasons of the show as a small alien who arrives on Earth and interacts with Fred Flintstone and his friends. Banished from his home planet, Gazoo possesses advanced technology and often dispenses unconventional wisdom, introducing science-fiction elements into the prehistoric setting. The character serves as a comic foil and was featured in several episodes during the mid-1960s before being retired from the series; reactions to the character were mixed, and he did not persist in later seasons.

Gazoo is also used as a corporate and brand name. Notably, Toyota Gazoo Racing is the motorsport and performance division of Toyota, used in global racing programs and branding. The term Gazoo has appeared in other media and product names as well, reflecting its association with technology and futurism.
