For some reason this show was deeper and more profound when I was six years old.

[@TastyBusiness]

Ah, 1957... classic.

[@meowkitty5588]

1959

[@only257]

thanks for posting gumby i am a huge fan!

[@jeanneflaherty4491]

Kevin Flaherty: At 1:46 Pokey's face always laugh a little bit.

[@clokster]

@clokster Art did not include this episode in the 80's series. His awareness had obviously grown from the early 50's. He was always proud of his Native American heritage.

[@Suddenlyits1960]

@Joe Clokey,Joe,your dad was a brilliant man. I love Gumby and Davey and Goliath. He had some extremely talented artists working for him. There is nothing offensive about this episode. The 50’s and 60’s were different times and Cowboy and Indian shows were all the rage and the Indians were often portrayed as the bad guys. I think the designs of Indians are really neat and imaginative. Gumby always lived in a very abstract,modernistic world. I’m glad this episode was restored and released again.

[@WillCWilson]

@@Suddenlyits1960 I'm not sure if you knew this, but Joe Clokey passed away a few years ago. This comment is 12 years old, back when he was still alive.

[@ilovepickle]

Thanks for the upload!!!!!!!!!!

[@Tsumami__]

@pcampbell0 I was raised to believe indians were teepees with faces and arms. I hold firm to my belief

[@Optimalillusion]

In one of the later episodes, it showed Gumby working for the BIA, which really explains a lot!

[@SignOfTheUnderground]

i like when gumby transforms into things

[@MyTubeViewingOnly]

EBanonymous - If you have a problem with a script for Gumby - TALK TO THE CREATORS. Gumby is Gumby - a great green TV favorite of mine - regardless of what YOU think. More than 200 Gumby episodes were made - all GOOD ones, too! Gumby lives on in hearts and memories of many.

[@markepliershutup998]

Shut up old man

[@lulii060202]

this was my sisters fav. show as a kid lol

[@SteveCarras]

Norma was also on Underdog, and on Gumby played Goo, as well as other females in the later 60s. Allison Angrim's the mean girl on Little house, and in '77 tried a "proto-Amanda Bynes" [i.e., teenage girl doing shtick] album on then president Jimmy Carter! Ya-HOO!

[@Trainlover1995]

Remember guys, this was made before Standards and Practices. Back then, racist stereotyping was OK. Nowadays, 11 Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes shorts have been banned for racism.

[@herbieverstanks2723]

Indians shaped like a teepee! The best.

[@MyTubeViewingOnly]

Yes - get real. It's ONLY a cartoon, keep in mind it was made in 1957!! The techniques used in making this cartoon inturn gave us Wallace & Grommit, theCalifornia Raisins, James and the Giant Peach, Nightmare on Elm and many, many more. Educate yourself about Gumby before knocking him or anyone associated with the show.

[@charlesrs]

And a bad trip was had by all

[@only257]

same here stevecarras!

[@SteveCarras]

Nice to see more of this..When G&P are in the pottery cups at 0:36, John Seely and Bill Loose's classic "TC-203 Wistful Comedy" plays, later during the clone scene, Phillip Green's "Tin Dragoons" is heard.

[@JustJessEdits]

A little creepier than I remember watching in the 90's but no more relevant.

[@SteveCarras]

@FromA2mee TheGumby WAS that mean girl's mom, Norma MacMillan. It seems to be Dal McKennon or Nancy Wible playing Gumby here, and Art Clokey as Pokey. Both voices Dal McKennon himself took over later, Pokey to the end of the 60s, after he'd stopped playing Gumby.

[@SteveCarras]

Not to mention a small problem of music rights, though they seem to have been cleared up..the scene at 4:48 is similiar to a scene in "Magic Show" [also a Gumby episode].

[@arthurcabral9561]

This was one of several variant episodes. Probably the most politically correct. This one was rare in 1968 when I was watching. The most offensive of them was a fat white haired cowboy dude and gumby'pokey opened fire with rifles on an indigenous American nation, and after they all dove behind rocks and logs in a comical and humiliating manner, he shouted "WE COME IN PEACE", and sat and ate with the Americans. most episodes weer cut and re-edited into at least one completely different episode.

[@acertainshape]

What has happened to the more offensive versions, I wonder...?

[@arthurcabral9561]

acertainshape These were cut and re-done using snippets of new footage to create different episodes from two or more old ones. The late fifties were very racist against "Indian" hispanic, asian, black individuals. What would pass as every day common usage cannot even be outlined today due to present day standards of politically correct ideas. However, we are still extremely racist. Look at "South Park" Saddam Hussein.

[@AYoungMusicianDude]

Arthur Cabral did you not read the creators son’s comments on native Americans in the Gumby series you dope?

[@MyTubeViewingOnly]

Agressors - part of life for eons. You're all over the place with your response. We're talking about Indians (Native Americans), not Germany or Holocaust. No parallels there. It's fun to watch Gumby zip around - early TV. Early TV's purpose was NOT educational OBVIOUSLY! Wanna discuss how some cartoons are harmful to its viewers - it's a HUGE can of worms, my friend. Just men-tioning Looney Toons is enough. Grow up, enjoy the cartoons or whatever strikes you blokes' fancy.

[@clokster]

Art Clokey did not write this particular episode. Art himself is 1/4 Native American and I think you will see his respect and awe of Native Americans in Rain Spirits and The Kachinas which came out the same year as this one, 1957. Even this one though is playful (the arrows are suction cup) and in the end Gumby and Pokey are obviously friends with all involved. It was playful. Gumby multiplying. Gumby turning into a pot. There was no ill intent here. Check out School for Squares too.

[@patriciaanndemello4652]

I loved this show as a kid. I didn't realize how racist it was. Peskies?

[@wildcard1432]

*cough*cough* it's a bit lonely this comment section

[@SteveCarras]

@MyTubeViewingOnly There was one creator and sadly he died in this year, 2010.RIP.

[@NonstopRam]

3:03 !

[@Kawaii_Lannie]

@MyTubeViewingOnly Gumby's creator Art Clokey passed away last year. I have a tribute video to him on my profile if any of you care to watch ^^ Gumby 4 Ever!!!

[@markmyjak7739]

Notice the Indians are shaped like teepees.

[@RezidentASinner]

LOL some people just pass on ignorance like candy. Just a bunch of children willing to accept it.

[@robphilll22]

Love that tee pee look!

[@Reshme77]

since when did gumby become so political?

[@FromA2mee]

I heard on the "today show" from the mean girl from "little house on the prairy" that her mother was the original voice of gumby...was this true? is this the girl's mom's voice? the 1950's gumby?

[@meowkitty5588]

Dallas McKennon voiced Gumby in the short

[@PoorDog69]

too old

[@szqsk8]

Gumby and Pokey commits acts of genocide on the Peskies!

[@robphilll22]

Having the Injuns Shaped like TEE PEES.Clever.

[@jman19665]

Racist man very racist!

[@chaosdemonwolf1]

How is it racist?

[@jman19665]

chaosdemonwolf1 Because they put the Indians as teepees.

[@DemocraticGoddess12]

I don't see what's the big deal, he said pesky Indians, so what and many Indians did live in teepees so what's the big deal of them looking like it ?

[@olivius8891]

@@DemocraticGoddess12 I don't know, man. Culturally ignorant at best.

[@lulii060202]

actually she wasn't lol.

[@stephenstorti5225]

that was racist

[@TheSturgeonGeneral]

the end made no sense

[@SteveCarras]

Papoose.

[@Reshme77]

yea for fun but in another episode he ta;lks of israiel and palestine. kids dont usually care for history.

[@lawrenceglr]

yeah the fuck right! real natives would fight to the death, death was a true honor to us native, brave TRUE warriors! This is fucked up tho! peskies, thats what the europeans were to us, lol

[@SteveCarras]

Well, you uploaded it, my pony pal, Pokey, too! BTW, immensely shameless plg. My blogspot,. Your pony pal Pokey too.. [SJCARRASBLOG]

[@SteveCarras]

@blekk100 Racist or not it came out same year, 1957. Most of the stock music seems to be from Capitol's "X" series, whcih contained a lot of different "world music" themes. Amos and Andy and Rochester were probaly more racist, and thye,too were form a different time. Personally, Aaron Carter and Eminem are more racist00whites raplping?

[@mrstevehartman]

The " Pesky " Indian tribe. LOL.

[@QoVoCGaming]

wow I never knew Gumby was raciest
