Art Clokey (who would go on to create Davey and Goliath) produced this series of clay animated shorts for NBC in The '50s after screening his student film Gumbasia for Twentieth Century Fox. Clokey also performed some of the character voices.Gumby himself was portrayed as a young boy capable of changing his shape at will. He also could walk into books and participate in the stories therein. His friends included Pokey, a red horse; Prickle, a "prickly" yellow dragon (except for the episodes where he self-identified as a dinosaur); and Goo, a blue female character who rather resembles a small sea lion with a blond wig (Word of God said she's a "gooey blue mermaid"). Gumby's foes, the Blockheads, never spoke.The character debuted in 1956, as a segment of Howdy Doody. He was successful enough to receive his own spin-off show. The original Gumby shorts aired on NBC in 1957. After the series' network run ended, Clokey bought back the rights to his characters and produced new Gumby episodes for syndication in The '60s and The '80s. A Gumby direct-to-video movie was released circa 1995.Gumby's 1980s resurgence in popularity was most likely attributable to a series of sketches on Saturday Night Live depicting Gumby (played by Eddie Murphy) and Pokey (played by Joe Piscopo) as actually being old-time Jewish vaudeville stars themselves playing parts. These sketches birthed the Catchphrase "I'm Gumby, dammit!" According to Art Clokey's son Joe, Art loved Murphy's sketches and even allowed him to redub some of the old Gumby shorts for another sketch.Gumby has also had several comic books, including Comico's Gumby's Summer Fun Special and an Eisner Award-nominated series by editor Papercutz.Bizarrely, Gumby was turned into the mascot for a pizza chain catering to college towns. They name a fair amount of stuff after characters in the series (e.g., Pokey Sticks), and the green, stretchy one himself appears on their boxes.In 2014, Seth Green's Stoopid Buddy Stoodios produced new stop-motion Gumby animation for an ad for Intel's Pocket Buddies app. In 2015, the Jim Henson Company made a deal with Clokey's estate to produce a new Gumby series, though no news has been forthcoming and the project may be dead.note A 4chan leak of stills turned out to be from the aforementioned Intel ad. In 2017, Papercutz released a Gumby monthly comic book, which was cancelled after three issues.In 2022, Fox Entertainmentnote Which is a unit of the now-separate Fox Corporation after Disney purchased most of 21CF in 2019, which included the Twentieth Century Fox studio purchased the rights to Gumby and other characters from Clokey's estate. Fox will develop, produce and distribute hours of content for the franchise. | |

Kangaroo Pouch Ride | |
Gumby / int_13cd498e | comment |
Kangaroo Pouch Ride: Seen in the 80s episode "Kangaroo Express" when the gang is heading to Australia for a concert tour. They accidentally land in the outback instead of Melbourne, their intended first stop, but they manage to find a Pony Express-esque delivery service where kangaroos carry parcels in their pouches across the outback. Thanks to their portable Shrink-a-Dink, the band and their car and luggage can easily fit into the pouch of a kangaroo (appropriately named Matilda) that takes them to Melbourne for their tour. | |

Totem Pole Trench | |
Gumby / int_14a44e40 | comment |
Totem Pole Trench: In "Wishful Thinking", Gumby and Pokey break into Prickle's house dressed as a fairy ghost attempting to trick Prickle into telling them what he wished for on his birthday. Unfortunately, just as Prickle was about to tell them, Pokey lost his equilibrium, causing Gumby to fall off his back and on top of Prickle. The fall caused Prickle to start screaming thinking the ghost had swallowed him. Also in "Gumbastic", Gumby encounters a bunch of little flat clay circles spinning around, and he mashes them all into a large green circle that then becomes another Gumby (with red eyes, ala his merchandising appearances), whom then proceeds to unzip himself to reveal two Blockheads-like characters with cylinder-shaped heads, stacked up in a Full-Body Disguise. | |

Drunk on Milk: Gumby ends up stunned and stiff as a board if he drinks too many milkshakes (especially if there's ice cream in them), since his clay body can't handle the cold. This was shown in the episodes Little Lost Pony and The Blockheads. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Gumby / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The word "Gumbasia" (the name of Art Clokey's first stop-motion film) can be seen in the background of several scenes, first on a water tower in the town that Pokey and Gumby fly into and again on the set of molding clay in the toy store where Pokey lands. When Gumby is checking out a native tribal dance in a cave as research for his music video, the natives' singing is taken from the 1957 Gumby short "Rain Spirits" (a.k.a. "The Kachinas"). | |

Reused Character Design | |
Gumby / int_277686f2 | comment |
Reused Character Design: The bird in "Northland Follies" has the exact same design as Rodgy from the "Henry and Rodgy" shorts also made during this time, but colored yellow instead of green. The early '60s episodes would often use modified puppets of characters from Art Clokey's other series of the time, Davey and Goliath. A notable example is in "The Small Planets", when a modified Davey puppet (with lighter-colored hair and different eyes) is used for a Spoiled Brat with a huge model railroad setup all over his small planet, and the same episode had a modified puppet of Davey's sister Sally used for a small girl that enjoys scaring others off her small planet with dinosaur masks, but wishes someone could stay and play with her. | |

Runaway Train | |
Gumby / int_3b20d7f4 | comment |
Runaway Train: The 1988 episode "Wild Train Ride" has the Blockheads intentionally set this up with the train Minga and Granny are riding on. They lock the train's engineers in the station restroom, start up the engine and hop off before it pulls out, and since the trains in the Gumby universe can travel anywhere they want, carrying their tracks wherever they go, this brings things to an exaggerated level in that the train leaves a path of destruction and can even enter books the way characters can (naturally, Cloudcuckoolander Granny enjoys it, and Minga is initially scared, until she compares the train crashing through a house to a ride at Disneyland!) Things get worse when the train ends up in a book about the Rocky Mountains and ends up on a railroad track route with a washed-out bridge. But luckily Prickle (who was planning to ride the train with Granny and Minga but missed it due to the Blockheads starting it up early) phoned Gumby about the runaway train, and they arrive in a helicopter with the train's engineers, lowering them onto the locomotive and stopping the train just in time. Granny's comment on the whole experience is this... | |

Smart People Wear Glasses | |
Gumby / int_3f4613f8 | comment |
Smart People Wear Glasses: Discussed in "Dopey Nopey". A smart intellectual boy has lost his glasses and is blindly trying to find them, then when Pokey finds them he wants to wear them because he thinks the glasses will make him smart. But despite Gumby warning him that's not the case and not to wear them, Pokey doesn't listen, puts on the glasses anyway, and proceeds to walk right into a closet (he was meaning to go to the library). Then Gumby's dog Nopey comes in, gets into a scuffle with Pokey, and the glasses end up on his head, and Hilarity Ensues... at least until they come across the boy and return his glasses, and he gets back to reading his Shakespeare book. Averted with Professor Kapp, the resident genius inventor who doesn't wear any eyewear. | |

Pie in the Face | |
Gumby / int_41435fc2 | comment |
Pie in the Face: The title character in "The Witty Witch" puts on a show that climaxes in this happening to herself, as an attempt to show children that not all witches are bad and that she's a good witch. Pokey finds it hilarious, but Gumby misses it due to closing his eyes throughout (he thought the Witch would put on a "spook show" to scare everyone.) This is what happens when the Blockheads fiddle with the remote control for the robots in Goo's Pies, but they were caught, Gumby and his friends serve up some deep-dish payback, right in the Blockheads' kissers! | |

Gumby / int_458bd7d | comment |
In the original "Adventures of Gumby" pilot, little Gumby ends up on a set of O-scale model train tracks, and of course the train that goes on them approaches, but Gumby is able to stretch up his legs at the last second and let the train pass underneath him. This bit was also reenacted in "Gumby Business" (with Pokey starting up the model train that runs on them, apparently not knowing what the transformer was used for.) | |

Stock Footage: "Gumby Business" uses some footage from the original "Adventures of Gumby" pilot (a.k.a. "Baby Gumby") of a Marx model train set approaching Gumby sitting on the tracks for said train. It's fairly obvious due to the pilot footage featuring the train pulled by a Marx Toys 333 steam locomotive with New York Central tender, while the new footage of the train passing under Gumby's stretched legs shows the train with a Marx Toys 666 steam locomotive with Santa Fe tender. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise: In "Gumbitty Doo-Dah", the J Blockhead makes up the G Blockhead as Gumby by morphing his facial features to resemble Gumby's and forming the distinct bump on his head, as an attempt to nab Prickle's new ball. Prickle isn't fooled, and lets the Blockheads have the ball, knowing that the ball actually has a space alien inside. | |

Harmless Freezing: Zig-zagged. When Gumby and the Clayboys get kidnapped by the Blockheads, they become frozen solid after getting locked up in the refrigerator truck that the Blockheads stole and disguised as a KBLM-TV truck. Later, Gumby was thawed out when rescued by his friends and Claybert, and he wakes up alive and well, but unfortunately, the Clayboys melted and they have to be taken to Professor Kapp so their bodies have to be bulged up again. Then Goo gets kidnapped and freezes too, so Gumby must spend the entire climax to save her; eventually, Goo gets better after being rescued and thawed out. | |

Blind Mistake | |
Gumby / int_54bbe8ae | comment |
Blind Mistake: Played for laughs whenever Granny's spectacles get broken... In "Hot Rod Granny", after Granny's glasses get broken when she bumps into a mailman on her way out of a store, she ends up getting in Gumby's hot rod by mistake, thinking that Pokey is her pet Golden Retriever she left sitting in her Model T. As she Drives Like Crazy on the wrong side of the road, she mistakes other motorists for "reckless drivers", and when she ends up on a drag race track, she thinks the road is nice and smoother. Then when she ends up driving into a stream, she thinks they forgot to put a bridge in, and that a motorcycle cop that was chasing her is a messenger boy. In "Cottage For Granny", after Tilly accidentally breaks Granny's glasses and she drives home from Gumby's farm, naturally she Drives Like Crazy due to her poor eyesight, initially driving on the wrong side of the road, and when a hay bale truck swerves out of her way, she mistakes the bale of hay that falls on her car hood for tall grass alongside the road. Then she approaches a railroad crossing with a train approaching and mistakes the flashing crossing signals for a police car's lights, thinking they pulled over a "reckless speeder", and smashes through the crossing gates and makes it across right before the train can hit her, mistaking the broken crossing gates for fallen branches in the road. | |

Broken Treasure | |
Gumby / int_591a76c9 | comment |
Broken Treasure: The 1957 episode "The Magic Wand" has magician Professor Hocus Pocus accidentally leave his magic wand at the lemonade stand Gumby and Pokey are running, and the wand goes crazy and ends up breaking Mrs. Gumba's good pitcher that Gumby was using to make lemonade in. But then after the wand ends up transporting Gumby to Magic Land, Pokey is able to sell enough lemonade to make almost enough money to get a replacement pitcher, though in Magic Land Gumby is able to successfully return the wand to Professor Hocus Pocus, and as a reward is given a miniature wand that can perform a single magic trick. Among returning home, Gumby decides to use his one trick to fix the broken pitcher so Mrs. Gumba won't notice and so they don't have to spend the money they've earned on buying a new one. Happens in the 80s episode "Just Train Crazy", where Gumby has a model train layout set up in the barn, used to bring milk and cookies from the kitchen to the band's stage for rehearsal breaks. But after Gumby leaves for a dental appointment, Denali ends up stepping on and wrecking the locomotive for the train, and so Pokey and Prickle volunteer to go out into Toyland and get a replacement locomotive before Gumby returns. Even after their mission is derailed for a while (pun intended) from a magic toy train that can take them wherever they want to go (but never stops unless the emergency brake is pulled), they succeed and find a train engine identical to the one Denali smashed and bring it with them back to the barn. | |

Train Escape: Seen and subverted in "The Reluctant Gargoyles"; Pokey and Goo are pursuing the Blockheads in a car chase through Toyland, and the Blockheads manage to beat a very long Lionel model train to the crossing. But Pokey is able to catch up to them thanks to Goo jumping out of the car and morphing herself into a makeshift bridge so Pokey can drive over the train. | |

Railroad Tracks of Doom | |
Gumby / int_687c78ff | comment |
Railroad Tracks of Doom: Done a few times with model trains... Gumby first met Pokey when he saved him from being run down by a model train after Pokey got one of his hooves caught in a railroad switch. Gumby managed to pull Pokey off the tracks right at the last second. In the original "Adventures of Gumby" pilot, little Gumby ends up on a set of O-scale model train tracks, and of course the train that goes on them approaches, but Gumby is able to stretch up his legs at the last second and let the train pass underneath him. This bit was also reenacted in "Gumby Business" (with Pokey starting up the model train that runs on them, apparently not knowing what the transformer was used for.) | |

Fake Band: The movie Retcons Gumby's band so that instead of Pokey, Prickle and Goo making up the rest of the Gumbys, Gumby instead serves as the lead guitarist for a band called The Clayboys, also consisting of Thinbuckle on rhythm guitar, Fatbuckle on drums and Nobuckle on bass guitar. Gumby's shapeshifting during performances becomes a Plot Point when it causes Gumby's pet dog Nobelly to cry pearls. Then near the end, when shooting a music video, Gumby dances with Tara, who has a crush on him, and sings lead vocals to the song "Take Me Away". | |

"Everybody Laughs" Ending: Many of the 1967-1968 episodes end this way, along with several 1988 episodes (such as "A Dolly for Minga", "The Best on the Block" and "Mirror-aculous Reocovery"). Takes a turn for the disturbing in "All Broken Up"... The Blockheads develop a method for shattering Goo to pieces: using a gong. Gumby manages to get her back together with a sonic vibratron and shatters the Blockheads in retaliation with it, only to find out he re-shattered Goo into a pile of clay pieces. Cue Pokey Gumby and Prickle laughing over the shattered remains of their friend: | |

George Lucas Altered Version | |
Gumby / int_76cbbc0b | comment |
George Lucas Altered Version: The 1950s and 1960s episodes got this, when they were rerun as part of the 1988 revival series. All of the old episodes had their soundtracks redubbed with new music, voice tracks and sound effects to sound consistent with the new episodes of the time. Many Gumby fans did not like this change, and were very disappointed when the initial DVD releases of the series from Rhino used the redubbed soundtracks (due to legal rights involving the John Seely/Capitol stock music utilized in the originals.) Current DVD and digital releases of the 1950s and 1960s shorts utilize the original soundtracks, while the redubbed versions have become harder to find in recent years (thankfully). | |

Bullying a Dragon | |
Gumby / int_7eb73553 | comment |
Bullying a Dragon: Literally occurs in "The Elephant and the Dragon". Both creatures work for a storybook king (the Elephant as manual labor, the Dragon as a castle guard), but the Elephant keeps picking arguments with the Dragon. This pisses off the Dragon, who torches people's houses with his his breath. To stop their arguing, Gumby uses a back-hoe to do the Elephant's job just as efficiently and without arguing with the Dragon (and without torched houses). The Elephant takes the hint and apologizes for causing so much trouble. As for what they were fighting about, the Elephant keeps asserting that dragons are mythological, and therefore shouldn't exist. The Dragon torches houses to prove that he's real. Another instance is in "Prickle's Baby Brudder", where Prickle's little brother (who is a giant dragon from the book 'Saint George') comes to hide from the angry villagers, who accuse him of burning down the village. They soon realize it's actually lightning doing the scorching, and set up a lightning rod to fix the problem. | |

This is actually entirely justified. Gumba has a human mother, which explains why she's human-shaped, but she married an entirely clay man, so producing basically entirely clay offspring really isn't unusual.

Wild Take | |
Gumby / int_95ac8056 | comment |
Wild Take: Happens at times in the 1988 series, and because of the claymation medium, it often veers into Deranged Animation; notable examples include... "Prickle's Baby Brudder", when Gumby screams among seeing the titular brother of Prickle (a huge dragon that breathes fire on him mere seconds after Gumby starts screaming). "Fun Day", when Minga sees Gumby covered in soap suds after his shower stops and screams in fright, thinking he's a ghost. "Gone Clazy" has Prickle give a couple of these, first when he screams among seeing Gumby falling from a pile of blocks, and again when Gumby's head bump turns into a cannon aimed at him (where he grows multiple heads like a hydra!) "Clayfully Yours" has Gumbo give a massive one among seeing Gumby and the TV Shapeshifting in a fight, where his neck extends all the way up into outer space where he screams and his eyes roll (and is unaffected by the lack of atmosphere), and then shrinks back to Earth where his eyes enlarge with his pupils becoming exclamation marks. | |

Same Language Dub: With the 1988 Gumby Adventures revival series, the older shorts from The '50s and The '60s were also included (to bump up the number of half-hour shows to the standard 65 episodes for a syndicated animated series of the time), but they had their soundtracks redubbed to be consistent with the newly-produced shorts. In addition to the synthesized MIDI score and newer sound effects, the voice tracks were also redone. For this series, Dallas McKennon was already reprising his role as Gumby from the 1957-66 shorts, but he redubbed Gumby's lines in those shorts anyways; same with Art Clokey as Pokey, Prickle and Gumbo (though in the older shorts, all three characters' voices could alternate between Clokey and McKennon and a few other voice actors, though the redubs kept everything consistent). | |

Re-Cut: In 2007, the movie received a 76 minute "director's cut", which strangely omitted certain scenes from the original 90 minute version. Cuts that create noticeable plotholes.

She's not that cute by the standards of the trope, but she's far more human-shaped than the rest of her family. This is actually entirely justified. Gumba has a human mother, which explains why she's human-shaped, but she married an entirely clay man, so producing basically entirely clay offspring really isn't unusual. (This gets even freakier when Gumbetta, Gumby's aunt, arrives with her human husband and their very creepy mostly-human children.) | |

Same thing with Gumbo. Merchandise today has Gumby with red eye pupils again (albeit not as beads.) In the '60s series, Goo looked more like a sea lion. In the '80s series, she looks more like a mermaid. | |

Dropped Glasses | |

Discussed in "Dopey Nopey". A smart intellectual boy has lost his glasses and is blindly trying to find them, then when Pokey finds them he wants to wear them because he thinks the glasses will make him smart. But despite Gumby warning him that's not the case and not to wear them, Pokey doesn't listen, puts on the glasses anyway, and proceeds to walk right into a closet (he was meaning to go to the library). Then Gumby's dog Nopey comes in, gets into a scuffle with Pokey, and the glasses end up on his head, and Hilarity Ensues... at least until they come across the boy and return his glasses, and he gets back to reading his Shakespeare book. | |

Instant Wristwatch | |
Gumby / int_f91c67dc | comment |
Instant Wristwatch: Happens in "Just Train Crazy" when a wristwatch magically appears on one of Gumby's arms in plain sight, complete with a flag with a tooth on it to remind Gumby of his dental appointment. Though given the surreal nature of the series, it's not that unusual. | |

Drives Like Crazy | |
Gumby / int_f96f188c | comment |
Drives Like Crazy: The Blockheads don't always drive carefully. Granny drives like this after her spectacles are broken in "Hot Rod Granny" and "Cottage For Granny". As she drives she makes one Blind Mistake after another while evading danger by sheer luck. | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
Gumby / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: May or not be intentional. When Gumby discovers that Lowbelly cries pearls whenever Gumby performs with the Clayboys, his first response is: "But our music isn't sad!" | |
