Weekend Update: Gumby Returns - SNL 

That was my favorite part!! I fell out!! 🤣😂🤣

“So I messed up. Shut up!” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_xr7cpHhJoU.html

My favorite part is that they nearly all stopped laughing right when he did it. When the greats give cues, you follow.

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

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.

LMFAO... I’m GUMBY DAMNITT

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 @freespeechisdead isdead

So he's Sammy Davis Jr. on St. Patrick's Day?

Mostly jewish tho. I wonder why no hymietown but down black folks and its comedy gold.

@@ravex24 Minus the glass eye.

After Lorne Michael's departure, his replacement, Jean Doumanian, nearly killed the show when ratings plummeted. She was replaced with Dick Ebersol after ten months. Murphy was there during those years.

I agree, he is a legend.

Matthew Horizon i hear that lorne michaels was always jealous of Eddie because Lorne thought the show would be over without him but Eddie carried that shit and as soon as Eddie left that’s when Lorne returned lol

this was such a beautiful comment

@@cavebeastdemon3631 After seeing all the sketches in this episode, Murphy clearly dominated every one (except the cold open) and the rest of the cast was reduced to featured player status.

comey2610 best line by far.

Stg 😂😂😂 he wants what he wants!!!

This comment deserves more likes its like one of the best parts other then eddie laughing

That third one with the fist pound is the best!!

@@scremped I agree 😂😂

Amari Selah what does it mean

@@rch3290 I think, he might be referring to the portraits that actors take to put in their portfolio. It kinda sounds like he's saying "headshot" the way another would say "pretty boy", both sarcastic jabs at someone being only useful for their looks 🙌

@@dickchocolate1706 That's Comedic Genius to you. Truth turned funny..Epic.

I thought it was hotshot with a slight accent. Either way.

@@SiSi-xg1hk exactly right

😂👍Funny you should say "king," since Gumby seems to think he's *Larry King.*

Oof that’s brilliant long live the king

3:03

Eddie was pure gold here. I lost my shit with this sketch, such an honor to the original stuff as well. Best SNL episode in two decades.

Yep, he kept calling him that......LOL

El Oh! 😂😂😂😂😂

El Oh! I was just thinking the same thing ha ha

Lol

Yes...

And then you say "I'm stayin here"

Don't tap me bastard, I'm staying!

Gets me every time

Alright, alright I'll go

That was the best part

Reference: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dpq40ug7-RM.html

Mr Robinson was funny too lol

no doubt about it. It's so much fun to see someone not give a fuck hahaha

Lol

All of them shits was funny lol

I was in tears from laughing 😂🤣

His comic timing is still impeccable and he did Gumby, Mr. Robinson, Velvet Jones and Buckwheat just like he’d done them yesterday. Like you said, he just slid right back into it!

That’s what she said

LOL I wish he would’ve hit them with “SHUT UP’”

Command over an audience.

Well you need to look up Black History Minute when he tells the audience to shut up after he made a mistake..

@@jojopuppyfish "Stop clapping before y'all make me smile." 😄

jojopuppyfish I’m familiar with that sketch. He also did a Gumby Christmas sketch back in the day when he told the audience to shut up. He pulled out an ornament to hang on the tree saying it was a gift from Sammy Davis Jr. but it was an eyeball. And when the audience groaned he yells “SHUT UP”.

The audience sees him, the camera doesn't have to be on him

Those Gumby and Mister Rogers vintage skits have popped up in my feed all weekend, they are classics!

It definitely was the best!

@@carolyntalbot947 What's great is that Mr. Rogers himself enjoyed the Mr. Robinson's parody. And when he visited NBC once, Eddie got excited and took him around saying "It's the real Mr. Rogers!"

We'd DIE when he came on. I'd go around yelling "I'm GUMBY DAMN IT" the entire next day. LOL!!! My parents ..not so much!

No the sonic satan cake!!!

😂😂😂😂 yep

Good sports for letting Eddie take his shots too!

Of course he did, he’s Gumby dammit

I wonder if he was ad-libbing

Great sports? Eddie was out of their league and we all know that

😂 Love it

Yeah hitting rock bottom seems to always bring out the funny in people.

I don’t know, Mellissa McCarthy May have him beat

@@marcusjones2517 eddie is nowhere near rock bottom lmao

Right??? 😂

Or Trailer Boy.

He'll be as known after as he was known before... which is to say he'll remain unknown. This will be the highlight of his career.

@@pathfinderLXXIV how much of a hater can you be Jost is a head writer on one of the most iconic shows ever and engaged to one of the sexiest women in Hollywood....I think he's good

So do we call Che 'black bastard'?

@@InnannasRainbow if it was a more sober time. Now, everyone gets offended by anything.

Stevie we do? 😂

Nia E. Yes, we do. In fact, I was raised on the old show and classic Thomas the Tank Engine.

@@geniusflytrap3773 Of course. He's Gumby, DAMNIT!

Stevie 💙🙏🏿💙🙏🏿💙🙏🏿💙🙏🏿💙🙏🏿💙🙏🏿💙🙏🏿💙 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-56dhXaOI77c.html

@@pdagod1251 GO AWAY

I seen a few that has 6.5 million views! This man is a legend! He saved SNL back then AND now! Much respect to the icon!

@@larhondaburchett3271 very true. He is amazing at this kind of comedy

Nobody on that show has half the energy Eddie does

I hope he stays!

Robin Reality would be great. But, he’d never do it. Not enough $$ it for him.

His timing when he interrupted Che had me cracking up!!!

That's when I lost it. He just interrupted them cause he could

Preach it, Gumby.

Matthew Jaen 🤣🤣🤣

This was funny and this was perfect comic timing!

I called a newbie Headshot at work the next day! He's new in the kitchen where I work!

Exactly!! I died laughing!!

Trevor, you looking like the bastard child of an affair between John Turturro and Sandler in Uncut Gems made me bowl over in laughter

Imma make it a point to call someone "headshot" once a week in 2020.

@Sonya Browne because you're a racist. Sorry to ruin your hot fantasy, but a head shot is an old term for a brainless, pretty boy that just gets by on looks but has no real talent. That's, that's all.

the arm movements are classic though

Search Jackie Mason stand up on RU-vid. That’s who Gumby’s based on.

Yazzzzzzz I was thinking this

Lol

Exactly

He conquered it when it was legit live

Full

shugo104 huh

i loved this 20+yrs ago mannnnnn!

Hahahaha

I was amped up to!! I even set my DVR for it. I watched it as well (at the same time). I am thankful I did watched it because my DVR did not take it correctly. I was very upset. I was going to watch it again 😫😫😫😫

this was the best part of the whole night lol. Gumby shit-talking the Update guys. Too funny

I bet the other cast members couldn’t stop laughing while they were filming

Just like Jimmy Fallon!

@@plissken2156 - (If Fallon didn't laugh at his own jokes, nobody would.) Long live Gumby, dammit!

But that’s baseball?

CrampedStyle wowwwww you’re so right... this made me miss the absence of political correctness so bad

Eddie Murphy's Gumby should team up with Triumph the Comic Insult Dog and Geoff Peterson.

It's a Tony Clifton impression.

Yep. Non-PC and non-political.

Don rickles with a Jackie Mason delivery.

IKR!!! And it makes u laugh more!!! 😂😂😂😂

You know it's a funny ass skit when no one on stage can keep a straight face

Vegan Atheist- Coral Eddie Murphy cracking up a little bit at himself made me crack up even more!

When your laugh is just as iconic as you are..it gets laughs😆

DN KZN - He used to crack up like that during the originals too.

That shit was hilarious.

Murphy doing this specific character during Weekend Update was SO CLUTCH; it really cut the PC tension of today in a way that works w/o fallout for anyone involved. The voice is like Larry David's x 10, and who knew Murphy did such a good impression of a racist old Jewish dude in a Gumby costume circa 1982? I didn't until now.

c ryan @ it’s going to take the old comics from the 90s and the 80s to come back like Dave Chapelle Eddie Murphy probably Chris Roc come back next and destroy PC culture❗️‼️because the other skit that he did with the elves he calls the girl sexy white chick they can’t mess with the old comics because this is who they were they are not coming out with new stuff they’ve always been that way the whole entire culture excepted them 20 years ago 30 years ago there’s no way you can come at them now and say that they can’t say what they wanna say

@@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.

For the record don’t have to be black to enjoy that joke

Derek Pickering 🙋‍♂️

He said he was leaving but then changed his mind that he was gonna stay and then he left.

@@TheLilly He's Gumby damn-it!

Me

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 @Derek Pickering

Just goes to show you they had real talent back then. Still love piscapo & Eddie doing Sinatra & Stevie wonder. Still as hysterical today.

I was too 😂🤣

rieyuki Me too! Eddie is still hilarious! 😂

Me too. He is so hilarious. I love it!

From the moment the sketch started they basically broke 😂😂😂😂

I think Colin and Michael have the freedom to break whenever, they break all the time. Which is why I tend to like Update more than the normal sketches, people bring their A game to Update (Murphy included).

Brings em back to the matter at hand! Lol

They got quiet real quick too

That was the most impressive part to me. He got an audience to stop laughing just by yelling "hey". Few people can command an audience like that.

What war broke out this weekend?

@@RaymondHng 😂😂😂🤣👍🏿 exactly.

Fletch Davidson Right!! 👌

Yeah, the star wars joke was offensive as hell though, Why the hell would you compare that bug eyed alien to Maz Kanata?!

@cpk1994 and a lot of people thought the movie was horrible. The biggest media hype was eddie Murphy returning to SNL. The anticipation of how he was going to do with him portraying some of his characters.

Z Cunningham exactly!!!! He's a genius❤

The bigger the star you are, the more you can get away with that. Not everyone has that freedom you’re talking about.

@@alexanderwright1618 no actually that has nothing to do with it. It's called improvising and either you are good at it or not

Unless you’ve been up there or on a stage with restrictions from higher-ups, you’ve no idea. This ain’t the same as any other sketch show.

@@alexanderwright1618 if you are fully restricted from the higher ups is one thing. But throughout the history of this show I have seen numerous cast members improvise while still doing the skit that was written. So therefore, I doubt there're strict restrictions from the higher-ups. Once again, it has to do with Talent and knowing when and where to improvise during a skit at the same time completing the skit. #talent

Best comment of the day 😂

Pickle Rick = elseworlds Gumby?

Eddie Murphy Really Knows How To Pull Of A Jackie Mason Impression While Dressed As A Being Made Of Clay

@@jaketaller8567 It;s NOT based on Jackie Mason..it was based on Mogul Old producer Daryl Zanuck . Gumby was a powerful producer in the 1950;s lol

Is that what that is?

What makes you think that young people don’t know who Gumby is?

@@the3idiots14 Because the show hasn't been shown in ages even in reruns.

i’m a gen z and i watched gumby every night on VHS as a kiddo. but good point! it’s hilarious.

Im 29 and had gumby toys and watched gumby... I was born in 1991

I watched Pokey and Gumby claymation cartoons as a kid in the late sixties. Eddie isn't anything like the original...lol...

I taped it last night and I keep watching it over and over again!

No one in any snl cast can hold a candle to Eddie. He's the funniest man alive IMO. Delirious and raw are the epitome of great stand up. His sketch work on snl is amazing. Not all of his movies were hysterical. But coming to America, bev cop and 48 hours are legendary comedies.

Because of the success of this can be sketch they are putting old gumbie sketches on RU-vid

he nailed this episode ,only 2 weak sketches rest was gold

@@mcfcguvnors which ones did you find weak, cause I agree. I wasn't a fan of the baking one and the opening political sketch was bad... again.

To real comedy Gumby was a filler

@Win Win comedy is subjective you know

Jameson Platt lmaooo that part I loved so much

In the morning I take a dump.

Great emphasis lol

@DJ DJ chill

Only Murphy can make something as simple as saying 'I smoke a cigar' hilarious.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂

And he’s 100% right!

Jost would be a sandwich artist at Subway without his white privilege. 😆😎😍🤔😂

😂😂😂😂😂

@Kitten Lyrictrue Don Rickels in the past was funny got away with it... At the present time ...Eddie Murphy is left ...

Bill Murray was of that caliber too.

don rickles

that is basically every good comedian ever..thats the point of american humor

Who else can get away with yelling at the audience for being loud 😂

i get "headshot" (pretty boy). but what does "trailer boy" mean?

Test trailer, as in trailer trash...

@@bijoupapillion Can one be headshot and trailor trasn at the same time?

😂😂😂🤦

Favorite part lol

I like how he broke character for a second and started laughing.

The best! 😂😂

That was hilarious!!!😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

A true performer

"So I messed up - SHUT UP!"

That was a classic moment. Only true thespians can improv appropriately.

because everyone on the show sucks

He’s just that good

Talent and skill

Dj Lee because he’s the funniest man alive lol

Probably because he's actually funny and a serious actor so he's not laughing at all his own jokes.

Well said

It’s like watching Freddie Mercury at live aid. It’s the pro in his element after a long absence.

Do you by chance mean "Morey Amsterdam"?

Auto correct dammit! I changed it twice and it still got me.

Amateurs, smh😂😂

Dot dot dot...and whatever the hell else ya wanna put in there...

Way to explain all the funny out of it. As if any of us needed it explained to us in the first place.

@@Igaveyoumyfakename Yes, cause it's not like comedy is a craft or skill set.... It's not like there are some rules, like setup/punch line. It's not like comics like Eddie or Tracy or Chapelle didn't take years to learn that craft, to learn the rules and then make up their own rules.... Enjoy just loving the surface level of comedy. Those of us in the know...will enjoy the deeper depths of comedy. Stay in the kiddie pool kid.

@@CRFlixs Oh,shut the fuck up,will ya.

@@Igaveyoumyfakename Actually this needed to be posted. IF i see one moar comment about Gumby sounding like I was going to yell "Get off my lawn". Alot of SNL noobs needed to understand the context of the joke. Now get off my lawn, ya bastard. I'm Gumby Dammit!

@Neurkrotic Yet here's an original Gumby sketch ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JBI_37BrcNU.html) where they spend TWO MINUTES and 30 SECONDS setting up the premise..but yeah whatever you said.

"In the morning I take a dump!"

“I’m staying.”

He SMOKES a cigahh!

Brian somebody to lovePughsley j

😂

Jaxson Burke The Truth. He still has it. He could join back tomorrow and be the top cast member for the next 5 years.

Classic SNL and Eddie Murphy!! Great night!!

I Crack up every time I say 'I'm gumby dammit!', and this proves that Eddie Murphy has still got it. He is a living legend, no doubt. He is a comedy super heavyweight.

I forgot to look at the show yesterday! But today I found it on a NBC channel! I have watched this scene over and over again! With all that is going on in the world Gumby and Buckwheat makes everything right!

It's only you.........You fucking weirdo.

@drifting Really was all of that called for ? It was a feel good comment...

It was great 👍 Like seeing an old friend again

@@corbindallas1088 - iT WAS HORRID. He should have kept in character. All these millennial joke cast members break character and smile in their skits. Atrocious and poorly executed.

Agree! The funniest man on TV today.

He did again when this episode aired lol

Yes he did

funny thing is, the show has actually been on an uptick in the past year since this, its gotten kinda good again

Summer M. Is the floor okay?

Eeeeww🤨 what in the name of green goblin are you talkin about

Knowing Eddie that's exactly what he wanted

My labor, for my daughter, started while watching Salems Lot on a very late broadcast. Hilarious effect of horror!

This story had a way darker meaning until I realized you were just talking about your mom laughing at him on tv

Allinone The Great is it just me or should it be called Coming Back 2 America?

N we soon shall see why the title. Also I heard there is a Beverly Hills Cop 4 coming out on Netflix too from Paramount in the works.

The movie is gonna be called Coming 2 America.

Begging for likes yo feel a sense of self-esteem

Not incredible. Just a lame attempt to recapture the past. Yawn.

@@jcrocks6698 can you do better? Hell no SNL had the highest ratings in years dummy.

Miguel Avendano that was a master at work. Eddie Murphy is the Maestro of Comedy...

He use to say shut up to the audience when he played Gumby... I low key wanted him to say it 😀 but what he said worked

He really has the audience in the palm of his hand. He even involved the cameramen in his "The Little Richard Simmons Show" sketch. www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ix03e

Todd Ledbetter Yes he did

Cuz he’s the greatest.

I think that’s the funniest part

Perfect comic timing.

😆😅🤣🤣😅😆😆😅😍❤

www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ix03e

Imagine this comic energy on a weekly basis. This is what Eddie was every Saturday night back then. The original cast left, he stepped in and kept the show must-see. This return made me feel young again.

Ricky Orozco wow you are an idiot

Good! They're classics!

@@ralphtaylor7448 Why's he an idiot? F*ck face

its genius

LOL it is! Happy Holidays ⛄

Ha! Add Cuban-Americans to that list. It's genius.

No. He's just Jewish

@D W He sounded Estonian to me. No fuck it - he sounded Lithuanian. Now that I mention it, he sounded Ugandan too. Deal with it m'lady.

Wish that sketch was on RU-vid or the official web site.

“You guys wanna hear a Christmas story?! Then gather around and keep your damn mouths shut?”

Merry Christmas, Dammit!

That's right what happened to the green makeup on the face

Uncle, you both realize there are plenty of Gumby skits Eddie done back in the day where he didn't have makeup on right? One in general is on RU-vid!!

Uncle Buckle It would probably take too much time to get off his face before the next sketch. Trust me, I did makeup for Shrek the Musical 😂

Yes!!!

😅✌🏾

‘Cause he’s an angry old Jew!

Sanders sounds like Gumby.

I am BERNIE, dammit!

That's an old Jewish-American accent.

Just more racially charged

😂😂😂

@@mloftin6472 weirdest flex ever

I legitimately got a stomach ache from laughing at that point. That was an Eddie staple, hijacking the sketch in the funniest way possible.

So do I. Eddie's Gumby is hilarious, dammit!

Murphy's Gumby has no filter, while Clokey's was just annoying. Win= SNL Gumby

Not many people saw the original or even know what it is.

He's not. He's a 64 year-old angry, cigar-chomping, Jewish mohel.

@@Igaveyoumyfakename Exactly!!!😂😂😂😂

I think he is Bernie Sanders brother.
