Despite suggestions that the Gumbies can be interpreted as a satirical picture of television experts and an over-intellectualized British academia, it seems more feasible that, given the highly absurd dimension of their stupidity, the most powerful comic potential of those characters lies in the sheer nonsense of their madness. This can be illustrated by the confession of the Gumby crooner:

Well I think television’s killed real entertainment. In the old days we used to make our own fun. At Christmas parties I used to strike myself on the head repeatedly with blunt instruments while crooning. (sings) “Only make believe, I love you,” (hits himself on head with bricks) “Only make believe that you love me” (hits himself). (episode 9, 1.116)
