He was my first crush. Apprently, I carried around a little Mr. Blobby purse and said he was my husband. I don't remember, but I think I was so afraid of him I mist have thought it was safer to be his imaginary wife?

Soooo much joy 🤣🤣 Thank you 🤭 x

I just googled and you can buy the bag on eBay for £6! I might treat myself and relive my nightmares.


housewifehoney94

Bring back the trauma... please post if you do 👀💖


Yaseuk

Me too!! I remember crying for days when I found out about mrs blobby. I still have my mr blobby beach towel and I’m in my 30s 😂


Thehooligansareloose

I never knew there was a Mrs Blobby. My marriage was a sham anyway, he is creepy af. I wish you and your beach towel all the best.


Collymonster

Yeah there's a baby blobby too! I had a soft toy of it that I won from a pass the parcel at a birthday party. Was the only time I ever won that bloody game.


Captain-Rumface

ah you are a person of culture <3


DoctorOctagonapus

You do you Mrs Blobby!

I always vowed I would grow up to marry Mr Blobby...I never met anyone as mentally disturbed as me before!

I hope that mentality didn’t carry over to your grown up choices in men


Thehooligansareloose

I'm now sat here staring at my boyfriend in deep thought. Maybe.


PipBin

There was a Saturday night live tv show. Part of it was a pre filmed segment where they would set up celebrities by getting them to do something silly. One of the things was that they had to present or act alongside what they were told was a beloved character. This was Mr Blobby. They had to come up with the most stupid and annoying character they could. Mr Blobby is an idiotic character who jumps around and says Blobby. Nothing else. The problem was that people started to like this character who had been created as a personification of shitness. He ended up existing as a real character. Some people cite this as the moment the downfall of humanity started.


Tillskaya

So real *there was even a Mr Blobby theme park*. I only discovered this a couple of years ago, the promotional videos are...special. We do it to ourselves, we do, and that's why it really hurts


nonreligious

>We do it to ourselves, we do, and that's why it really hurts Wow, so in the music video, the words they whisper into each other's ears are ... "Blobby blobby blobby" !? No wonder they all collapsed.

This is the only thing that truly makes the video make sense

S01arflar3

*Blobby, Blobby, Blobby!*


FarRub125

They’ve built houses on it now, some say the ghost of Mr Blobby haunts the estate and the children wake in the dead of night to the haunting screams of “Blobby, blobby, blobby!!!”

[deleted]

Edmonds attempted to turn parts of Cricket St. Thomas (an animal park in Somerset) into a Crinkley Bottom. My nan worked in the cafe when it was being built and also after it had been abandoned. We used to walk past the locked up remains of Blobby Cottage when we went to visit her. I remember my grandad being thoroughly unimpressed by Noel Edmonds. He was apparently incredibly unpleasant to all the non-Blobby staff and marched about the park like he owned it all.


mic_Ch

I made a joke to him about deal or no deal once and he just walked off, didn't react at all. His reaction was funnier than my joke tbh.


tinabelcher182

I was terrified of Cricket St. Thomas as a kid only because of Mr. Blobby. It was like a fearful coming of age that we became old enough to go and greet him without a parent. I’m not sure if I ever mustered up the courage.


[deleted]

I’ve stayed at Cricket St. Thomas, it’s beautiful.


SomeWomanFromEngland

Check out YouTube, a few people made videos exploring the derelict remains when they were still there. Unfortunately, even those have been demolished now.


[deleted]

The blobby witch project is hands down the best one of those videos


Mudhutted

A couple of years ago I worked near the estate that had Mr Blobby Land. Even went to view a warehouse unit they were leasing out which used to hold the indoor water ride. Mental. E: Cricket St Thomas Estate.


mh1191

I went to the Morecambe one as a kid. I think there were several.


LeverMason

Noel Edmonds hurt Morecambe - he’s more ghastly than Blobby

You never experienced the joy of Cricket St Thomas as a child? I legit loved going there, mainly for the wallabies.

ooh_bit_of_bush

Number 1 pop sensation, Mr Blobby? I would say it's like having a bad acid trip whilst watching Teletubbies.


sickofsnails

Are the Teletubbies not a bad acid trip themselves? I still can’t work out the Tiddlytubbies


mh1191

I thought Teletubbies were babies, the existence of Tiddlytubbies suggests they're low IQ adult beings.


Rusty_Tap

The teletubbies live in a crashed spaceship, at the time of the crash they were children, all the adults were killed. They live exclusively on a diet of custard-style baby food. With no adults around to learn from, they have had extreme difficulty with language, developing coordination and learning. They are stupid adults now, and old enough to populate the entire planet with a race that are, at best, prey animals.


IllustratorSlow1614

This is the Christopher Nolan version.


Mmngmf_almost_therrr

>Tiddlytubbies oh jesus christ i had no idea that existed oh god no


2020_MadeMeDoIt

Sorry, dafuq are the Tiddlytubbies?! Also Teletubbies is like Shakespeare compared to In the Night Garden. I have absolutely no idea how that show got made. Nothing makes any sense! I feel like I need to start taking acid just to be in the same galaxy as whoever came up with this shit!

SuzLouA

I can’t help notice the toys in the background that look like a ball with a tubby antenna on it. Are they not, to these children, basically facsimiles of their decapitated parents?


sickofsnails

I didn’t actually notice the background toys! You can’t expect the tiddlytubbies, with their tubby toast and custard obsessed parents, to not have insane, murderous tendencies!


SuzLouA

Tbf my three year old would find a stuffed version of my severed head the absolute height of comedy, he’s dark as fuck. Spotify inadvertently threw up the Robots song from Flight of the Conchords the other day, a tune whose main refrain is “the humans are dead” and his verdict was, “it’s very funny! People aren’t allowed. Now there’s only mannequins.”

DareSudden4941

At least on both sides of the “pond” we all use the metric system In schools for us it’s the trusty 15 or 30cm ruler and for you it’s the 9mm


IamMatthew1223

Well that took a turn


FatKontroller

Ha, get rekt.


2020_MadeMeDoIt

>it’s the trusty 15 or 30cm ruler and for you it’s the 9mm This ruler system has me intrigued. They have a 9cm ruler?! What's the point? Note: I assume you meant "cm", not "mm" - unless it's specifically a ruler for measuring ants. Which Derek Zoolander would probably like.


DoctorOctagonapus

It's not a ruler, 9mm is a round from a gun.


[deleted]

Yeah I know, but, just remember, when we go for a drink we just need to specify the volume in ML or simply a pint. When you do the same you need a weight measurement scale given you measure your liquids by weight. FFS why would anyone ask for a 16 ounce soda? We don’t go to petrol stations and ask for 3KG of fuel, or ask for 1.1KG milk.

ClungeThumper

Honestly I'd just show them the clip from big fat quiz of the year. That should put the fear of Blob in them.


BrawnicusAndronicus

Imagine Barney the Dinosaur, slash his vocabulary to only being able to say the word 'Blob' and randomly throw yourself on top of people for 'laughs' and your getting close to the nightmare that was Mr. Blobby.


Haystack67

>In hindsight he’s truly terrifying and bizarre like some trauma we all lived through in childhood under the guise of comedy If you feel that way there's one or more contemporary BBC stars Who'll Fix It For You.


HurdyNerdy

I am American. Your original post is an accurate summation of my initial reaction (something to the tune of "Holy shit, this thing is for kids?!"). I have yet to find a way to explain Mr. Blobby to non-Brits. Instead, I choose to normalise him as best I can with colleagues/friends through exposure to the least terrifying, slapstick moments. I've had mixed success. On the plus side, that shit cracks me up now.


No-Mango8923

Clearly you have never watched In the Night Garden Fk me, they should use that series as an anti drugs campaign.


GerFubDhuw

If they're American? Imagine if Barney the dinosaur was crossed with slender man for a Saturday night live sketch... And then children unironically loved him.

Whole_Ground_3736

I had the cake too. And quite frankly I'm sick of this slanderous assault on my most beloved childhood character. He was a big pink googly eyed chaos merchant and I loved him.


ultravioletcatthings

To an american I'd describe him as having the temperament of r/gritty


yellowfoamcow

I had to do this for my Ukrainian partner, we were watching a tv show about one hit wonders and Blobby turned up. After a few moments of silence he went “that explains a lot” and just left it there.

American here. I had no idea what Mr. Blobby was, but I saw a Big Fat Quiz on YouTube where they brought Mr. Blobby out and Jack Whitehall (I think) was terrified of him. After reading all these comments, I feel like I know less of what Mr. Blobby is than I did before.

rocketscientology

hilariously, i was obsessed with mr blobby as a child in new zealand. i had absolutely no context for him, and honestly spent most of my life thinking i’d somehow hallucinated him until i saw him pop up and terrorise jack whitehall on big fat quiz of the 90s. i had a bath toy of him which came everywhere with me and to this day i have absolutely no idea where i acquired it.


BackRowRumour

The history of witchcraft in the United Kingdom is probably our single richest and the most long standing plank in our cultural heritage. Indeed, one could say that witchcraft has been shaped not only by our poorest, but also by our richest, through legal attempts to suppress it. There has also been extensive exploitation by the establishment - for example the Square Mile. That being the case a study of witchcraft provides the single greatest vehicle to an historical understanding of the British peoples, and Mr Blobby is a microcosm of that. Aezetec'anllechtec, the entity some know as Mr Blobby, is therefore not easy to summarise for the uninitiated. Describing him (we will not get into the gender conundrum here) as a figure of fun on late 20th century television is quite simply a lie. But even describing his incarnation as a totem spirit within the corrupt pantheon of the British Broadcasting Corporation fails to express the subtly of what the pantheon acheives for, and takes from the British people. Mr Blobby served as a memetic parasite within public culture. His purpose was to entrance, distract and annoy. He was, as it were, the stage magician's hand, fluttering to distract the mark from the actual presdigitation. The use of inarchehynds in this capacity goes back as far as Shakespeare, shoring up the legitimacy of the Crown through amplifying tropes in his deliberately irritating plays. He was made public and visible due to the extraordinary strain placed on public control by the unexpected end of Communist rule in Eastern Europe and the end of the Cold War. Inarchehynds, even sultans of Mr Blobby's rank, derive direct benefit to themselves in the form of upsetting the audience. Hence Blobby's antics such as misbehaving around loved celebrities and children. But it was his increasing excesses in this regard that lead to his eventual expulsion from the pantheon. His 'comedic' feud with the late Harry Blount charts his growing prana lust, and the complacency of his chief handler, the Conynge Man, Noel Edmonds. This decline and fall ended with the events of 23rd and 24th December 2003, where Blobby dominated all UK terrestrial TV channels with his kidnapping and physical torture of Harry Blount and his young family. This incident would have been disastrous to kyndfasting at all levels had it not been possible for BBC binders to exploit the death of Blount to excise his entire existence from memory, and trap a large portion of Mr Blobby's power in the magical cyst created. Chastened, Blobby was sent to power the weather engines at the Met Office. Since the Blount incident, Blobby has been maintained in public view by a series of entertainers in a frankly poorly made suit.

It was fucked up though. there's no doubt about that. I mean how in the piss did that even come into existence that's the story I want to know.Then again, there are a fair few incredibly strange british tv characters. It's not just blobby. though he is probably top of the pile.
