Let's not forget, that Fringy admitted to having an afro. Now picture a 6'5 giant green Plague doctor with an afro protruding through his hood, or whatever plague doctors use to cover their heads.
I don't think Gumby ever made it across the pond. I'm a little older than Mauler and I don't recall ever seeing it on TV. Between the BBC and Channel 4 we had a _TON_ of different stop motion shows produced here from the 60s into the 80s, so the market was already pretty saturated without the need for an American import. Just to list some off the top of my head: • Paddington • The Herbs • The Wombles • The Clangers • Bagpuss • Ivor the Engine • Postman Pat • Fireman Sam • The Magic Roundabout (although that one's a French import) By the look of Gumby, he reminds me of the stop-motion character "Morph" made by Aardman Animation, but looking up some of the shorts just now the resemblance is only really in the look of him (being a simple character clearly made of clay).
I will just say what everyone is thinking. It is exceptionally selfish of Wilford Brimley to die so soon after this joke was created. He did not even go on EFAP. Not cool man.
The Tom Cruise short jokes always seemed weird to me because iirc Cruise is only like one inch below average, he just looks like a dwarf because everyone else in Hollywood is like 5’11” and above. Bro got that Napoleon setup lmao
It also doesn't help that Tom Cruise's contract usually forbids him from being portrayed as shorter than most of his costars, leading to a lot of funny behind-the-scenes shots that show all the camera tricks needed to disguise his height.
Yeah, most Americans genuinely have a hard time understanding that there are more than 140 countries on Earth and can't possibly understand the concept of different cultures. Wait until you learn there's more than one language 😂
Brimley was a tough, two-fisted guy in his youth. And still quite aggressive in his pensioner years: those scenes in Hard Target with Jean Claude Van Damme and Brimley on horseback, that’s Brimley in the bulk of those shots. He also petitioned to have cock fighting brought back as a legal sport. Anyone from Utah, ask your parents and grandparents about Brimley’s reputation. I’d want him on my team for the zombie apocalypse. Happy 4th fellow Ewoks! Thanks for all your hard work Wolf.
@DJprofessorK In 1987, old episodes were released on vhs. 1988, they brought the show back for a year (don't know what channel). 1992, reruns aired on Nickelodeon.
I watched Gumby as a kid, even had a Gumby bendable figure. I would have thought after Eddie Murphy's "I'm Gumby damn it", Gumby would be in the zeitgeist now.
Gotta follow this one up with the convo about “the guy who is alive” I remember it happened during a cuphead video, when an in-game waffle was on screen
I just went camping with some high-school friends mine, most of us have know each other since elementary school on up. Mike and Caleb have a tradition where they buy these sweet, milk based vodka drinks that come in a 4 pack. They call them Wilfies. They go down smooth and are terrible for the hangovers 😂
The Wilford Brimley (Passed) Efap arc ended too soon
No he Ascended!

Just wears a comically undersized hat that hovers 6 inches above his head, sitting atop the afro.
@@Herr_Affe perfection
Is he 6’5 with the Afro or without?
@@mrdropkicker1 5'2 without.
I don't know why but I always pictured fringy as bald.
Mauler not knowing who Gumby is is the only joy I have in life

The Wilford Brimley: ALIVE arc was short lived 😔

he was an uncoolman

RIP Wilford Brimley.
Saw an interview of Wilford Brimley. The man was cool as hell. RIP, you're an immortal meme.
RIP Wilford Brimley, Ascended.
Wilford Brimley being alive is all that gives me joy in life.
Sorry, you stopped being happy 4 years ago then.

THANK YOU WOLF! I've been lobbying for this Arc to begin for awhile :) hope we get the ascended reaction Arc in the future!
I didn't know Gumby was obscure.

@@Ron_Jambo_ I'm American and I grew up with Gumby.
@@Ron_Jambo_ wtf does that have to do with Gumby? It was made in the US so your point means nothing

A height competition, luckily I wasn’t there, I’m 5’4 and three quarters lol.
I did not expect to step back in time like this today.
Rags, I KNOW GUMBY!!! My dad loved him as a kid and they ended up being replayed for a bit on Nickelodeon when I was a kid.
@@heatherchansler5886 I remembering watching reruns as well but I have no idea on what channel or if it was on vhs

The Chickpea Gumby is to die for.
I'm thinking of the last meme image:
instead of "Jeb Bush," it's "Gumby."
DIABEETUS
5'10" is an average height. That's me. My brother lies and says he's 5'11" on his dating profile despite us being the same height
5'10 is above average
Rest in Peace Wilford Brimley
I miss when EFAP was just these three. Proud of all the growth but there was a comical purity with MauLer, Wolf, and Rags.
Hi Wolf!
Wilford Brimley's fight for diabeetus awareness continues in Valhalla. With Gumby.
Gotta follow this one up with the convo about “the guy who is alive”
I remember it happened during a cuphead video, when an in-game waffle was on screen
He died in my home state of Utah, there must be something in the water
Jeez, I never expected Fringy to be that tall
Glad to see the context to the conversation on The Real BBC about this EFAP.
Everyone remembers him for the Insulin commercial I remember him for The Thing
Listening to rags lose his mind never gets old. You may have to wait a few episodes but it'll happen. And its glorious
Why did you have to kill Mr Brimley 😭?
4:41 Why is that so funny?😂
RIP, Wilford Brimley (Ascended).
"What is in the water in Welshland where you're from?"
That good tasty lead! Builds bones, and pipes, and other essential elements of longmuns.
You should have clipped all the brimley clips together. They went in for like an hour with chase, mark and M

My friends and I got together and watched a bunch of Wilford Brimley movies to celebrate his still being alive. He died the following day.
they serve an excellent gumby at Trungo's
“OG” stands for “Old Geezer”
Thanks Wolf! o7
You should have added a memorial image to Brimley at the end of this. Missed opportunity. 😞
We miss you, Wilford Brimley [Ascended]
#remembergumbie
>Wolf never got all Xbox achievements in Coraline vs. Gumby
I honestly get a migraine when people start talking foot fetish, like, wtf Is 5'10 to 5'11, that's like 3 cm, but 5'11 to 6 ft it's 2 cm
Now when it rains the water will be just a little bit… sweeter
Hey Wolf, the next highlight should be their reaction to finding out that Wilford Brimley is dead.
Holy hell. When they meant long they really meant LONG
Im 6.7 so hah take that @Fringey
Oh man I totally forgot about Wilford Brimley (dead), good times…
How do they not know Gumby and Pokey?
The only thing that brings me joy in life is the only thing that brings me joy in life.
I spy R A in the chat.
Why is this the Wilford Brimley clip and not the Gumby clip?
Gumby reruns weirded me out as a child, ngl
The lack of Shortmun representation in this cast disgusts me
5'8 is literally not short
I member Gumby
I don't know how, I'm 20 but konw I watched Gumby once
Wilford Brimley died in 2020.
If Destiny could make a well formed argument he could could've kept a wife
Jay is 6ft waif.
They are all short.
OOF!
where's part 2?
Gumby +1
Mauler disrespect Gumby. :(
How do you not know Gumby you charlatans?
Ssssssttttttttttiiiiiiiiillllllllllllll?
Excuse me, wayward commenter: do you know when EFAP talked about Pokémon starters for all gens, and which were their favorites?
