iRiff: Gumby's Gold Rush (by mister x)

Gumby (an apparently sentient glob of snot) decides to go prospecting in the mountains and takes his incredibly racist pal Pokey along. After finding either a large gold nugget or a chunk of radioactive waste, Gumby and Pokey Limbaugh are captured by INJUNS (not Native Americans but stereotypical, unflattering facsimiles) who plan to burn them at the stake without once questioning how clay has somehow come to demonic life.
Join mister X as he tries to comprehend the materialistic lust of Gumby, the festering cauldron of hate that is Pokey Imus and why the original inhabitants of this country didn't just let the pilgrims starGumby (an apparently sentient glob of snot) decides to go prospecting in the mountains and takes his incredibly racist pal Pokey along.

thanks for that info...it was illuminating and clarified a few things

This episode was made during a period that Art Clokey was not running the studio during the last series in the 60's. He never liked this one and when he took the rights back he took it out of the rotation. Art is part 1/4 Crow and he always had awe and respect for all Native Americans. Check out Rain Spirits a 1957 episode he wrote and made. Art would never have allowed this if he were in charge. Like all the Gumby he made, it was ahead of it's time.

All the racial sensitivity of Michael Bay.
