[5] The cartoon features the gophers' repeated incursions into a vegetable garden guarded by an unnamed dog whom they relentlessly, though politely, torment.

The two often also tend to quote Shakespeare and use humorous elocution; for example, in Lumber Jerks, they say "We must take vital steps to reclaim our property," rather than use what some may consider to be a simpler phrase.

[6] Clampett later stated that the gophers' mannerisms were derived from character actors Franklin Pangborn and Edward Everett Horton.

The Goofy Gophers were largely forgotten by Warner Bros. in the years since the animation studio closed in 1969.

Two characters resembling the gophers appeared in the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, peeking from the brick wall into the factory where Judge Doom was defeated.

The Goofy Gophers were revived in The Looney Tunes Show voiced by Rob Paulsen and Jess Harnell.

The Goofy Gophers appeared in the New Looney Tunes season 3 episode "Fool's Gold".

The Goofy Gophers made a cameo in the Looney Tunes Cartoons short "Happy Birthday, Bugs Bunny!"
