Weekend Update: Gumby Returns - SNL

[@TheROC13]

I came here to say the same.....my favorite part of the whole sketch 🤣

[@clintonramos793]

I knew a kid named Gumby in elementary school. He wasnt named after the show or product, his name was just Gumby. So naturally everyone made fun of him. In the summer of 1987 he entered the little convenience store on Avalon and 98 and decided to blast his way through 17 people in a fit of rage. When he was found hours later he was holding 2 cups of play doh and a Big gulp from 7-11. After the local cops in Florida surrounded him, they slowly came upon him and arrested him with no resistance. When he was taken in they asked him "Why in the world did u kill all those people?" He simply replied " The act of killing isn't malleable it's solid, its unchanging whether you choose to do the act or not, there is no choice of molding the outcome" But don't let this man distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 feet through an announcer's table.

@@migtowlifemonk8668 Agreed, I was thinking the same things about how he's so established and paid his dues and earned the right to keep being himself (and the characters) in ways that wouldn't fly today under different circumstances. Chappelle and Rock are definitely helping this process, too. Some comedians are really good at being PC and hilarious at the same time (the special Michael Che Matters from 2016 was PERFECT at calling out certain types of white ppl). Marlon Wayans Woke-ish was another good one...I'm not huge on Kevin Hart, but it was painful to watch him do the "apology tour" as Bill Burr calls it, after his whole Tweets saga. Can you even friggin IMAGINE if Patrice O'Neill were alive today? Good Lord, he said stuff way beyond what I'm ok with, sexism-wise but he was hilarious and it'd suck to see what the PC public would do to him today; things he SAID about women were one thing, but since he had a patchy rape charge ages ago, that'd resurface and blah blah.

[@Gracious-m3b]

Oh my God he couldn't even hold it together so funny I love Eddie Murphy 💚🤣

[@funnybunny680]

My dad was watching this with me and he could not stop laughing and telling me that these were all characters Eddie Murphy used to do. I was laughing so hard because Colin wouldn’t stop laughing, and Micheal was getting burned by Gumby.😂
