funny you should say that as i looked at the shape of him & his name itself which is another word used for something else, tbh not many have noticed that he's a giant walking pink spotty condom with arms & legs & the name blobby is what we use to nickname condoms instead of using its actual name so he probablys was another way of promoting safe s3x which may have been the intentions of his mascot charactor but they went about it in the wrong way turning him into something that just got in the way while trying to be funny at the same time & to top it off he was suppose to be a fad for the show but went way too far which made him famous

The thing about Mr. Blobby that people who didn't grow up in the 90s don't always realize is that he's _intentionally_ cursed. He was designed as a cursed parody of a character for children rather than being for children himself. Of course, all us kids loved him anyway for some fucking reason.

You know, The Banana Splits was a popular variety show from the 60s, but the characters were repurposed as a horror movie in 2019. They should do the same for Mr. Blobby.

Blobby was kind of ahead of his time - he was the ultimate shitpost before the internet was even a thing. Also the Jack Whitehall and Dorothy from Eastenders skits worked because the former took Blobby back to his roots as a prank on Jack, and the latter was making fun of a recent plot point where one of Dot's old partners returned, the episode ends with her looking at her kitchen door and gasping "AH, You!" and in the TV Burp skit they recontextualise it as her reacting to Mr Blobby.

Reflecting on it, I'm actually glad Mr. Blobby exists. Yes he's cheesy, bizarre and definitely creepy, but I think he fit well into the entertainment culture of Britain in the 90's, which was a bit weird going back on it. I mean, Noel's House Party itself seems a bit weird nowadays looking back at it, it was almost like Live & Kicking in the evening slot and without the cartoons, with the game show segments and gunge. To me he's a nostalgic reminder of just how batshit insane UK TV was from the early 90's to the mid 00's. Oh and FYI, blobby didn't really have a purpose built attraction at Pleasurewood Hills, they just used the theatre there (which is quite nice, made to look like a castle from the outside) and it was really kind of closer to a scaled down version of Noel's House Party as a live stage show (gunge tank for a preselected park guest and all). So Blobby was there, but it was more part of the show than anything else. I grew up near Norwich so did visit PH quite a few times in the 90's.

Mr Blobby was more frighting to me than Daleks and Cybermen combined. He kinda still is.

It's really not that hard, the idea behind Mr. Blobby was to make a parody of children's mascots. And that meant that he had to be colourful, gaudy and obnoxious because kids love that kind of stuff. He was a blob so they didn't have to work to hard to make him look like anything in particular, and he made stupid noises because he was meant to be annoying. The point was to piss off the adults who would try and tolerate him because kids loved him. Just claiming "It was drugs lmao" buys into the BS idea that they are needed to be creative. You just need a idea of what you want to create first and what you want to accomplish. Mr. Blobby design is just "throw whatever makes him look stupid and ugly" as a design principal.

I swear mr. Blobby is in like every parody spoof the BBC has made in the last 30yrs

I was terrified by that pink bastard as a kid. I saw him once live on stage at Beaulieu, it started off fine as it was some boyband tribute act I can't remember what band exactly but it was pretty good from what I remember of it. However Mr Blobby appeared outta no where and I hid behind my mum in fear. I think that might of been the first time I saw him probably, as I was born waaay after blobby being a thing. Even so I'm weirdly fascinated by him and his history, it's one of those things that we will never get again ever. The whole thing being nothing but a perfect example of a time capsule of a much different time in UK pop culture.

That's arguably not true though, is it? Shaun the Sheep, Basil Brush, Morph, Sooty & Sweep, Postman Pat, Bagpuss, Mr Benn, Bob the Builder, Peppa Pig, The Magic Roundabout, The Wombles, Camberwick Green, Winnie the Pooh, The Clangers, Fireman Sam, Chucklevision, Captain Pugwash, Pingu and Mr Men, are quite popular/were/achieved varying levels of success outside the UK. That is not an exhaustive list, by any means, either. Sure, some of those are nowhere near as successful as Mr Bean or Thomas the Tank/Thomas and Friends, but the thing is, Peppa Pig for example is arguably _even more successful_ than ALL of those you mentioned, combined. Peppa Pig genuinely is a brand worth billions, as low-key one of Britain's most successful TV franchise exports. And think of all the characters in Roald Dahl or the works of J.R.R Tolkien, popular with countless children, or JK Rowling for that matter. By online viewership and franchise engagement, Mr Bean will somehow still be doing great, with many tens of millions of views globally, but there are other ways of gauging success. Arguably, if something is culturally relevant enough to be memorable on some level, or reprinted and republished for new generations, then it is still something worthy of mentioning in terms of popularity, even if the cultural focus has shifted and even if the most people still don't know what it is. And 'popular outside England' can mean a lot of things (literally, anywhere that isn't England; including a lot of the Anglosphere with obvious reasons for having television company connections and contacts with the British television industry e.g. the Australian and Canadian television industry) It's why lots of British children TV shows from the 90's would mix up schedules with British cartoons but also international content from fellow broadcasters they were friendly with, sharing shows. For instance, on 'Dick & Dom in da Bungalow' you'd see anything from the Angry Beavers (USA), Yvon of the Yukon (Canada), The Cramp Twins (German-British-Canadian) and a range of other, often more experimental options on their segments. They'd do their pranks and 'bogies' thing, then run a cartoon before more weirdness ensued. Mr Men is obviously far past it's golden age in terms of it's place in the cultural zeitgeist, though having said that, it still sells millions of books worldwide, so is it a failure overseas? Not really. It has become very recognisable and it's also had the advantage, at this point, of about half a century of varying yet consistently good or very good recognition for being good children's TV and book content. It's pretty iconic in it's own right. But is it making Peppa Pig money? No. Popularity can mean a lot of things to be fair.

This terrified me as a kid, then I moved to America and have been here 20+ years, thanks for reminding me of this horror because I've been looking for it forever!

You should never trust us British with musical taste. We put Mr Blobby at number one on the charts! And Bob the Builder too. :p

And Teletubbies in 1997

It’s weird how a character that was meant to parody merchandise able characters ended up becoming one. Edit: well darn he already said it.

Apparently Powerpuff Girls too..! And admittedly I don't have any PPG figures or plushies and only things with 2D art on it 😅

I was scared of everything as a kid but ironically, I loved Mr Blobby. He's the unhinged icon we deserve.

I feel like I'm the only one who loved Mr Blobby as a child. I had all the VHS tapes and some toys of Mr Blobby. Too be honest though, as I'm older and times have change. I can definitely see why some folks were terrified of him.

Jack Whitehall freaking out on the Big Fat Quiz was legitimately one of the funniest moments of that show!

Despite not being from the UK, I first knew of this character through America's Funniest Home Videos. I believe the video itself was about a minute long. In it, a performer dressed as Mr. Blobby was being pushed away by children, along with being screamed at with possible phrases like "Get out!" At the end of the video, the performer finally left the room as all the children cheered in victory. I didn't know what the character's name was at the time, but in retrospect, I do not blame those kids for having such a reaction like that.

That he's *_intentionally_* unhinged and absurd, designed as a parody skit, makes his design make *_far_* more sense; and, I actually have a greater appreciation for it, now.

I loved Mr Blobby as a kid! I even saw him on stage once at an Aladdin pantomime where Mr Blobby was the genie.

Mr. Blobby reminds me of one of Those stress reliever dolls , except from hell.

Xploshi should make a cursed short parody out of this guy.

I remember a part in an episode of Noel's House Party where one of Blobby's eyes turns upside down during one of his skits and Noel starts turning his eyeball around. Pretty sure that scene was responsible for a dream I had about gluing eyes on to trees.

A wonderful intro speaking facts and was a part of my childhood :)

The formula works because it's the classic auguste/whiteface clown pairing. He even has a red nose. We used to watch Noel's House Party round at our dad's. And I bought him the Mr Blobby single for Christmas, which I'm sure he appreciated. The lyricist clearly had too much fun: "if humanity is a question of degree, stay loyal to your Blobby pedigree" implying that blobbies are better than humans (which, fair). I've never heard the album tracks before, but they also sound like people having a massive laugh. I still can't imagine why they went ahead with a theme park. If you have a craze like that, you should KNOW it will peter out before you can make a friggin' _theme park_ profitable.

I love your channel keep up the great stuff

I think it’s insanely funny how they just named every subsequent blobby product “Mr Blobby” it seems like something the character would actually do

Steve review needs to review the amazing digital circus pilot next after this.

Harry Hills TV Burp was probably my introduction and best use as a running gag for Mr Blobby as a large deranged maniac turning up just to traumatise and fight people.

If he didn’t have the jiggly eyes If he he didn’t sound like a literal demon If he didn’t destroy so many things He might’ve been a much better character, but he’d need a MAJOR redesign

every time mr blobby pops up on a bbc special on the telly it literally makes my soul drop. i’m so glad i don’t remember noel’s house party.

A cursed British icon Mr blobby sure was. Great review as always Steve. I subscribed to your channel ever since I watched the Mary and Max video or the Spirited away video. I can’t remember which one I watched first. But both videos were great and I was instantly hooked to your channel ever since. I hope you review Code Lyoko in the future that show was my childhood and after rewatching it again on Netflix as a adult it’s still holds up as a massive pile of nostalgia from the plot, the characters, the animation and the awesome music including the theme tune it never gets old. 🙂

Holy moly, keeping up appearances

Oh my god it’s mr bonzo

I honestly liked Mr. Blobby when I first saw him. I used to like weird stuff as a kid, so he was up my alley.😂

Mr Blobby was intended to be creepy, annoying and terrifying, so he did his job well. My family watched a lot of Noel's House Party, and Blobby was the highlight of the show. He was the most chaotic entity on TV. Luckily, Blobbymania didn't really carry over to New Zealand, so he didn't wear out his welcome so much. I'm always thrilled when he turns up in a surprise appearance.

scared? i found Mr blobby absolutely hilarious back in the day, he always kept me laughing with his antics! 🤣🤣

"And then there's Mr Blobby. . ." Terrified screams* One-Winged Angel intensifies.*

I loved Mr. Blobby as a kid, I’ll always remember that episode where he tries to build a shed 😂

Don’t forget the Children in Need song with the other more beloved British puppet characters like Hacker, Dodge, Oucho and Otic of CBBC, Zippy, George and Bungle from Rainbow, Muffin the Mule, Basil Brush and others, they purposely excluded Blobby from the single showing that even they don’t like him, that’s how bad Mr Blobby is!

I'm in NZL. I loved Mr. Blobby. My dad thought he was absolutely assinine, and refused to get me a Blobby plushie. Instead, I saved up my money and bought a cheaper blow up Blobby. I also got in heaps of trouble in my 6th form year for writing Mr. Blobby down as my intended date for our school ball. Anyway, I did manage to pick up a small Mr. Blobby plushie from an online auction site a year or so ago.

It's awesome to have you back, Steve!

I bought a Mr. Blobby wind-up toy for $200 and idk if I regret it or not, but now I treasure it & people think I'm even more autistic for it than they did before but they don't have a Mr. Blobby wind-up toy so I choose to think they're jealous

I was always terrified (and somewhat still am) of Mr Blobby as I was a small child during the peak Blobby years. I was so scared of him that I was once refused to eat a Mr Blobby gingerbread man and instead tore of its legs and threw the pieces to the seagulls.

I like it when Blobby barged into Hyacinth Bucket’s residence

This is sacrilege, i loved mr blobby growing up. I can remember him 1st coming on the screen and i was all for it

One thing worth mentioning is Mr Blobby has returned a few more times in advertising, Red Nose Day, Children In Need, and similar children's TV mascot events such as Basil Brush's Christmas songs. I think the owners of the IP know how annoying he is to a lot of people now, given most of said appearances are people attempting to get away from the character.

I recall Blobby appearing on a poster with the slogan "Prices that take you back." An appeal to nostalgia. Evidently not a perfect ad though, as I can't recall what it was trying to sell.

Mr. Blobby as an institution of British television should be respected and feared. We created the curse and now must bear its weight; none know when Blobby may appear, no signs or portents mark his impending arrival, no logic or reason dictates his summoning, but summon him we must so that future generations bear his mark and are suitably scarred by the knowledge of his eternal existence. An existence which resonates through time and space as a warning against the hubris of television producers and a stark lesson as to the powers they wield.

Seeing him torture that poor accordion makes me want to cry.

It’s always funny and brilliant to see Mr blobby show up on the odd tv show now and again and it brings back memories of watching him back then. I could never imagine in my life time of him ever coming back in a full time show. As he would scare the crap out of kids today and the humour just wouldn’t stand like it did in the 90s

I guess I was in the minority of kids that actually liked Mr Blobby back in the day. However, hindsight is 20/20! I've watched Mr Blobby clips here and there over the past few years and I've asked myself from time to time 'Wait... I actually LIKED this a kid?! He's terrifying!'. In retrospect Mr Blobby feels like a character that belongs in the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared series!
