The Gumby images and toys are registered trademarks of Prema Toy company . The Library of Congress had Gumby as a spokescharacter from 1994 to 1995, due to a common sequence in his shows where Gumby walks into a book, and then experiences the world inside the book as a tangible place.
A parody of Gumby also made appearances in the occasional sketch in the early years of Saturday Night Live, and was played by Eddie Murphy in a green foam costume. Murphy's Gumby smoked a cigar and talked like an arrogant celebrity indignant at his waning fame, frequently exclaiming, "I am Gumby, damn it!"
