Gumby is a green clay humanoid character created and modeled by Art Clokey, who also created Davey and Goliath. The original person to voice Gumby was Dick Beals in the 1950's. Gumby was also voiced over the years by Ruth Eggleston, Dallas McKennon, and Norma MacMillan. Gumby has been the subject of a 233-episode series of American television as well as a feature-length film and other media. Since the original series' run, he has become well known as an example of stop motion clay animation and an influential cultural icon, spawning many tributes and parodies, including a video game and toys.
Gumby's principal sidekick is Pokey, a talking orange pony voiced by Art Clokey (and his nemeses are the Blockheads, a pair of humanoid, red-colored figures with block-shaped heads, who wreak mischief and havoc at all times. The Blockheads were inspired by the Katzenjammer Kids, who were always getting into scrapes and causing discomfort to others. Other characters are Gumby's dog Nopey (whose entire vocabulary is the word "nope"); and Prickle (voiced by Clokey and McKennon), a yellow dinosaur who sometimes styles himself as a detective with pipe and deerstalker hat like Sherlock Holmes. Also featured are Goo (voiced by Norma MacMillan and later Gloria Clokey), a flying blue mermaid who spits blue goo balls and can change shape at will; Gumby's mother Gumba (Nancy Wible and Ginny Tyler) and father Gumbo (Art Clokey). The later syndicated series in 1988 added Gumby's sister Minga (Holly Harman) and mastodon friend Denali (also voiced by Art Clokey).

Genres: Animation, Comedy, Family,Gumby, I just can't do anything,
Can't do anything right
Don't ask me
If I'll help when helping you
Just means someone to fight
It's so hard putting on your clothes
You don't even move to cover your skin
Why move, moving is how things begin
The front yard taken by the crows
Blackguards with their shiny pieces of tin
So much fury
You bury it in
Gumby, we should call your daughter
Please, call your daughter again
You must see
Things are getting harder and
Getting more out of hand
Dude, you're not even that old
How bad must it be to be bad as this
All day, filling a bottomless pit
All these trinkets bought and sold
All tokens you've thrown down to the abyss
There's a bottom that you'll never hit
And I don't know just how you explain this
To a kid with nowhere to live
Tell her that the father she has means well
But just has nothing to give
Gumby,
You should call your daughter again
Don't call me,
