Monty Python at 50: Gumby World Record Attempt, 5 October 2019, London
On 5 October 2019, to celebrate 50 years to the day of the first broadcast of “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” on BBC2, the official Gumby World Record Attempt was held at The Roundhouse in London. Hosted by Terry Gilliam, with special guest Sanjeev Bhaskar, 100s of men, women & children dressed as Gumbys, the iconic Monty Python character, descended upon the venue to enjoy Gumby sketches from the newly restored “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”, a Monty Python sing-along, a Q&A with Terry G and an after party with Terry G, Sanjeev and Monty Python-inspired cocktails. The rest of the Monty Python team were present as cardboard cut-outs, dotted in between the piles of rubber bricks & flower-arranging stations… and a World Record for the “largest gathering of people dressed as Gumbys” was set.

The Gumby soundtrack “Gumby Night at the Python Proms” will be available on Spotify later in the month - open.spotify.com/artist/5Ixfh...

Attempt? Well, if anyone could fail that, it's a Gumby.
I was there but still can’t believe it happened

Ok, it’s 4 in the morning on the US east coast. You want me to stay up an extra 5 minutes for Gumby? Yes please, thank you!
What a fun day, not least travelling through London on the tube in full Gumby regalia. The Great Man, Terry Gilliam, actually spoke to me. Such an honour.
2:22 «I speak Italian like a child». He shouldn’t be saying that. We haven’t done comparatives yet.
what kind of gumby do you have to be to thumbs this down?! What a brilliant thing.
LONG LIVE THE PYTHONS!

You lucky, lucky bastard.
Dear Sir or Madam, I very glad to say that I did my part for Python and Gumby... I'm also happy to know there are a few shots of me thought out this video, including the bit where Gilliam signs the cover of "The Brand New Monty Python Bok". (For those who don't know, it's the one with the alternative cover of ladies naughty bits). Hopefully, we can encourage future generations to this form of stupidity as an annual event. Yours Sincerely, Dr. (BA in Animation) N.H. Gumby. Retried. P.S. I have never kissed the editor of the Radio Times.

What a wonderful thing to arrive at the end of your life and realize that you spent your time on earth giving the world the gift of endless laughter. Vive le Python! ;-)
My brain hurt way more than 50 years ago. I think, was it Michael Palin that said this was 'delightfully pointless and / or silly'? I agree. What a lovely thing! 52 more years! Then everybody go piss off!

There in spirit... by which I mean that I drank a toast to the Pythons and Gumby.
You lucky, lucky bastards. Love to Terry J. and all M.P.'s as in Monty Python not the other M.P.'s. That'd be crazy.😱
This makes me happy :)
Ready made knotted hankies, brilliant.
Amazing. Makes me wish I could have been there too.
One of the best days of my life.. Truly amazing! My thanks to all from Mr T D Gumby..

Thanks to all The Pythons for making the world a little easier to live in.
Gumbys doing silly walks...man I wished I had taken part in this! This calls for the foundation of a worldwide Gumby association, if there is not one already.
Fantastic! Thank you a living legend Terry Gilliam!
Many years ago I fashioned a Gumby, who I loved, in pottery. Plus the flying guy in the suit. The pottery technician managed to snap off their arms/wings. I’ve still got my Gumby all battered and bruised. He lacks specs but I love him even at my 65 Yrs of age. Bless all of you other fans xxx
So many Gumbies they made my brain hurt 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I would have loved to shown up dressed as Professor Bruce.
My favourite director! Wish I could meet Mr. G.
Oh, what joy!
My brain hurts!
This is beautiful, you're all beautiful gumbys! :)
My brain STILL hurts.
excellent :-)
No matter how many showed up it would still be a world record 😂
Proud to see a Gumby on Wizzard's Rock and Roll Christmas , kid you not🤣😂
Awe... wish I was there , maybe next time
That was wonderful!
Awesome how much joy it was on BOTH sides :)
Lumps of it round the back!
1:40 "Helloooooooo!" in their Mr. Gumby voices! 🤣
Good to see that Terry is still in great shape at his age!
Wow! Brilliant!
Hellooo! Never would have thought to see the day that this happened....my brain hurts from sheer silly excitement!
omg... the way they respond as a group cracks me up every time !! 😂🤣

Ich wurde groß mit euch und dafür sage Ich danke , aus Hamburg, Ich bin 51.
Ah awesome i wish i was there
Absolutely loving the Gumbys get together! Would love to have been there. BTW (in ref to the caption above) Python was first shown on BBC1 not 2.!
My partner Caroline went to this and dressed up she is a huge fan she came home a very happy lady
This is the most British thing I’ve seen in my entire life

Is it possible for Gumbys to put one thing on top of anther thing? Or is that just silly?

I'm posting this in 2020 July mid pandemic and it's weird looking back at how before we were perfectly capable of grouping close together to do the most random things we could possibly imagine and because of a tiny bit of positive sense ribonucleic acid suddenly we're not the biggest fish in the pond. I wish I could go and dress up as Gumby and shout at people in the street until the police showed up, it's the little things you miss
I am so glad to live in this world... 🤕
I would've showed up! Dammit!
Some of the vests remind me of Paul McCartney's magical mystery tour vest, just me?
I saw those girls with the Paul McCartney vests
How many were in attendance.....oh, I beg your pardon...(ahem) HOOOOW!!!! MAAAAAANYYYYYY!!!! CAAAAAAAAAAMMME!!! AAAHHooohuuoooo!!
