Robot Rumpus (1956) is one of the earliest shorts in the Stop Motion Gumby series. Outside the Gumby fandom, the short is noted for appearing in a Season 9 episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, paired with their presentation of The Screaming Skull.The plot centers on Gumby and Pokey getting out of their chores by using robots to do all the work. Of course, the robots go rogue - tearing up the house and harrassing everyone. Gumby and his father, Gumbo, race to deactivate them.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Decapitation Presentation: During "The End" sequence, one of the robot's heads is shown hung over the garage door, and its eyes follow Gumby around. The short plays this as good fun.

Badass Normal: Gumbo is a firefighter, and he does pretty well against the robots, all things considered.

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: The robots trash the house, a fire truck and — to the horror of Gumby's mother — her flower bed.

Karma Houdini: In the full short the idea to get the robots to do all the chores was Pokey's. Gumby even had reservations about it beforehand, but Pokey dismissed it. In the end, Gumby is exhausted doing the chores while his parents watch angrily, while Pokey just looks kinda sad sitting on the side.

Groin Attack: Subverted when a robot throws Gumbo onto the roof, and he lands in a way most human males would find very painful.
