Monty Python at 50: Gumby World Record Attempt, 5 October 2019, London

[@WolfingtonStanley]

I was there but still can’t believe it happened

[@zephyrstarsand4373]

Oooh you lucky bastard 😉

[@garganzalo5212]

I was there too! :) I was the one with a moustache and a handkerchief on the head

[@WolfingtonStanley]

Thought I recognised you

[@dashfatbastard]

@@zephyrstarsand4373 Nice one!

[@MasatoKay]

HELLOOOOO!

[@baskervillebee6097]

We worry about the world going down the tube, but with Gumbies about..... there's hope.

[@Psychol-Snooper]

There are a couple of them who are head of state right now, and... maybe that was a bad idea.

[@Jagerbomber]

Attempt? Well, if anyone could fail that, it's a Gumby.

[@johnbfa]

What a fun day, not least travelling through London on the tube in full Gumby regalia. The Great Man, Terry Gilliam, actually spoke to me. Such an honour.

[@shawn_530]

The gang at the end taking to the streets is marvelous!

[@grendelum]

Seeing a horde of gumbies would make my day !!!

[@wafflesthewookiee4716]

Ok, it’s 4 in the morning on the US east coast. You want me to stay up an extra 5 minutes for Gumby? Yes please, thank you!

[@wormsT17]

Dear Sir or Madam, I very glad to say that I did my part for Python and Gumby... I'm also happy to know there are a few shots of me thought out this video, including the bit where Gilliam signs the cover of "The Brand New Monty Python Bok". (For those who don't know, it's the one with the alternative cover of ladies naughty bits). Hopefully, we can encourage future generations to this form of stupidity as an annual event. Yours Sincerely, Dr. (BA in Animation) N.H. Gumby. Retried. P.S. I have never kissed the editor of the Radio Times.

[@barrywebber100]

I thought that was the weekly look at church architecture! :-)

[@beastwishes]

what kind of gumby do you have to be to thumbs this down?! What a brilliant thing.

I was there and it was AWESOME!!! 😄

[@Mordred478]

What a wonderful thing to arrive at the end of your life and realize that you spent your time on earth giving the world the gift of endless laughter. Vive le Python! ;-)

[@Tommyr]

LONG LIVE THE PYTHONS!

[@JMaxfield09]

Glasses.... Mustache... Handkerchief.... I'M GOING TO CELEBRATE!!!

[@TyroneDaviesWELSHMAN]

One of the best days of my life.. Truly amazing! My thanks to all from Mr T D Gumby..

[@pale_saint]

Finland gets mentioned, we’ll see at the town square.

[@Mertaranta]

TORILLE!

[@kiddailey]

There in spirit... by which I mean that I drank a toast to the Pythons and Gumby.

[@klyanadkmorr]

UTTERLY BONKERS FUN WAS HAD THAT DAY!! *it was done in PM Johnson* ' *s honor*

[@Tree_Dee]

My brain hurt way more than 50 years ago. I think, was it Michael Palin that said this was 'delightfully pointless and / or silly'? I agree. What a lovely thing! 52 more years! Then everybody go piss off!

[@nevermind-he8ni]

Thanks to all The Pythons for making the world a little easier to live in.

[@oxiigen]

Fantastic! Thank you a living legend Terry Gilliam!

[@martinfitzgerald1605]

You lucky, lucky bastards. Love to Terry J. and all M.P.'s as in Monty Python not the other M.P.'s. That'd be crazy.😱

[@abcdefg7800864444]

This makes me happy :)

[@chrisc1553]

just looking at all of them makes my brain hurt.

[@Future_Pheonix]

Amazing. Makes me wish I could have been there too.

[@arno-luyendijk4798]

Gumbys doing silly walks...man I wished I had taken part in this! This calls for the foundation of a worldwide Gumby association, if there is not one already.

[@annakozlinska7059]

So many Gumbies they made my brain hurt 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@bazzatheblue]

Ready made knotted hankies, brilliant.

This is silly! Bring the Colonel!

[@czeshirecat6278]

Many years ago I fashioned a Gumby, who I loved, in pottery. Plus the flying guy in the suit. The pottery technician managed to snap off their arms/wings. I’ve still got my Gumby all battered and bruised. He lacks specs but I love him even at my 65 Yrs of age. Bless all of you other fans xxx

[@craigsavarese8631]

I would have loved to shown up dressed as Professor Bruce.

[@theblackbaron4119]

This is beautiful, you're all beautiful gumbys! :)

[@mikaelbiilmann6826]

1:40 "Helloooooooo!" in their Mr. Gumby voices! 🤣

WHY WAS I NOT TOLD! IT HURTS MY BRAIN!

[@user2144]

Wow, there are a good 200 people in that room 😉

[@dashfatbastard]

We knew this was happening....we should have gone global online with a livestream.

[@jammygitt]

No matter how many showed up it would still be a world record 😂

[@arno-luyendijk4798]

Hellooo! Never would have thought to see the day that this happened....my brain hurts from sheer silly excitement!

What about a 'Silly Olympics' for 2020? It could be in France or Germany this time...

[@michaelsherr5222]

This is the most British thing I’ve seen in my entire life

[@camman1056]

I'm posting this in 2020 July mid pandemic and it's weird looking back at how before we were perfectly capable of grouping close together to do the most random things we could possibly imagine and because of a tiny bit of positive sense ribonucleic acid suddenly we're not the biggest fish in the pond. I wish I could go and dress up as Gumby and shout at people in the street until the police showed up, it's the little things you miss

[@PapiElric]

Hello from France, where we have a lot of Gumby (sorry for my english).

Some of the vests remind me of Paul McCartney's magical mystery tour vest, just me?

[@Nilguiri]

Terry Gilliam could have made a bit of an effort and Gumbied himself up a bit!

[@Theytoldmetodoit1]

At least he made an effort to be there, unlike the rest of Python.

[@Diarmuhnd]

*MY BRAIN HURTS!*

[@willg9840]

*HELLO!!*

[@stevenwiederholt7000]

Is it possible for Gumbys to put one thing on top of anther thing? Or is that just silly?

Shut up mr Gumby,SORRY!😂😂😂😂
