The main characters include the adult version of the Little Rascals character, Buckwheat; a wise street show host named Mr. Robinson (a spoof from Fred Rogers, who thinks it's funny); and moody, cynical Gumby , whose distinctive slogan became SNL's slogan: "I'm Gumby, damn!"
The Buckwheat character has retired spectacularly - killed, in front of the camera, in front of 30 Rockefeller Plaza - at Murphy's request, after he is bored with the constant demands of fans for "Do Buckwheat! Do Buckwheat!" In Rolling Stone ' February 2015 assessment of all cast members of 141 SNL to date, Murphy is ranked second (behind John Belushi).
