Outside the ''Gumby'' fandom, the short is noted for appearing in [[Mystery Science Theater 3000 (TV)/Recap/S09 /E12 The Screaming Skull|a Season 9 episode]] of ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000 (TV)|Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'', paired with their presentation of ''[[The Screaming Skull]]''.
 
The plot centers on Gumby and Pokey getting out of their chores by using robots to do all the work. Of course, the robots go rogue - tearing up the house and harrassing everyone. Gumby and his father, Gumbo, race to deactivate them.
