As a fellow Brit there are a few facts here that I feel like should be explained a bit more. 1: Mr Blobby wasn't a kid's character, he was a parody of children's TV characters in the UK at the time, mostly UK people will know these shows but he was a parody of shows such as clangers or the Wombles. The Mr Blobby theme parks were actually called "The crinkly bottom theme park" and was opened in 1994 and was popular through 1995 to 1996, but then they closed down in 1997 due to bankruptcy as the Mr Blobby name had started to fade and popularity. And in the early 2000s the Mr Blobby theme park's were rediscovered by explorers and was subsequently demolished in 2014 do to vandalism and endangerment. Was it worth actually explaining all of this to any of you, probably not you're probably going to forget about it within a week hell maybe even a day but at least I told you. But if you want to find a truly terrifying British TV character that was made for kids, look no further the Mr Noseybonk. I'd suggest you have a cross with you if you watch that show.
Dude, I actually remember that guy, I’d forgotten about him till now, he wasn’t creepy. People have just been editing him to make him creepy. Edit: when I said ‘editing’, he hasn’t been edited in the sense that people are making him look scarier, he genuinely looks like that. I just meant the sound and particular clips they use make him seem a lot scarier than he actually was. ALSO It’s come to my attention (6 months after making this comment) that no one else shares the opinion that he wasn’t scary, apparently that was just me. Family and friends tell me that I’m crazy and that he was a recurring character in their nightmares. Sorry for being misleading x
@Wasabi Smile I mean, in this context yeah. If you want an actual creepy British kids show character, look up mr noseybonk from jigsaw Edit: to all the people googling this at night and creeping themselves out…. maybe don’t… lol
I used to watch Noels House Party quite a bit, it ran on a sunday morning for a while as well. The live living room pranks were pretty funny. Blobby, blobby, blobby!
Just to clarify, Mr Blobby was not a really children's character he was a parody of character's like Barney. Basically Noel Edmunds would get a celebrity to do a bit with Mr Blobby, like it was for a some fake kids show and Mr Blobby would smash shit up and gernalty make a nuisance of him self. Any love for Mr Bloddy was largely ironic
@@jezuscrust7458 one thing he is absolutely not is chill. But the OP here is right, Mr Blobby wasn't really a kids TV character, Noels House Party was on at about 6pm on a Saturday evening and it was sort of a light entertainment thing with skits, game shows etc.
A quick note : I'm British, and while I've heard of Mr Blobby, anyone under the age of 25 is probably too young to have ever seen him on TV. He certainly isn't as famous in the UK as Barney is in the States. He is really only ever referenced as a punchline at this point.
@@ameet4625 He was most famous in the 1980s and 90s, nowadays you'll hear him mentioned as a punchline in a joke on 'Have I Got News For You' or another TV panel show with older comedians. I'm 22 and I've never seen the Mr Blobby, just heard references to it and seen clips online.
Yeah, My mum knew him but I was like tf is that??? If there was an old british children character that still has popularity …maybe Sooty? (That’s british right?)
I remember my brother pretended with his friends as this mascot, I would text most of them and they would all get picked off one by one “killed”. The last person I went for help was my brother who I texted and he replied with “YOURE NEXT!” with a picture of the clown pointing at me
Mr blobby was on a Saturday family show. It was funny at the time circa 1990s. Not terrifying in anyway was a comedy show, called Noel Edmonds house party, it got cancelled because someone died on the set, during a challenge. I think it was tightrope walking. It was Noel Edmonds show, he went into depression and went off air until the 2000s (through his choice) and started presenting deal or no deal. Noel was huge in the 1980s and 1990s. It was a tragic accident the tightrope walker refused to use safety harness and Noel never got over the man’s death.
That’s pretty close but not quite the actual story - it was on Noel’s other show, The Late Breakfast Show, and it was a bungee jump stunt with an untrained member of the public volunteer that went horribly wrong. The carabiner clip holding the cord snapped during the rehearsal and sadly killed the volunteer. He didn’t refuse his safety harness, the BBC were just negligent and failed to ensure that the stunt was actually safe before getting the poor guy to do it. Apparently he hesitated for 2 full minutes before jumping because he wasn’t sure about it, and he died instantly on impact with the ground. This is why to this day they won’t show any stunts on TV that aren’t being performed by trained stuntmen. Fascinating Horror has a great video on it - I’d really recommend checking it out

I cried when i sawed huggy wuggy,s backstory in Im not monster part-1 Plus poppy is not even scary and huggy wuggy,s sharp teeths are kinda scary wheare Mr Blobby is my Childhood nightmare and he is really scary-
I love how everyone is like "oh no its so fucking creepy" while im just thinking "there seems to be no signs of intelligence anywhere, that thing isnt creepy in the slightest"
Hollup, this is a lie, everything I've watched about Blobby says he started as a show and they made up the backstory of him being a beloved children's character to get popular people to come on, at which point he was a clumsy bumbling and scary mess and made a mess just as big, then after he got actually popular with the kids he got a show and went on other shows as well as getting brought to do birthday parties where he would do his clumsy act again (Got beat up by a dad one time after ruining the cake)
I think he was a character they came up with for a show called Noel's house party. They'd get a celebrity to agree to an interview but Mr. Blobby was the interviewer.
Yeah 70% of what Zack makes are misleading or straight up lies. In this case Mr. Blobby is a adult comedy parody of actual kids mascot characters. Meant to appear on Noel's House which is more akin to SNL or the Jimmy Kimmel show. His whole joke is that he character scares kids and is a clumsy asshole no one likes. But everyone pretends to know from their childhood.
@@dantai68 Exactly, I always get annoyed when anyone who makes a video on Mr blobby makes them out to be a actual kids character and not a satirical take on tacky children's character taking the micky outta tricked celebrities.
Theme parks like that just aren’t old enough to be haunted. If it went bankrupt and no one died there, it’s also not haunted. To me it just looks old and vandalized.
Except for Mr. Blobby isn't an urban legend, he's a purposely weird looking parody of kids show characters, It's like say michael myers is an urban legend because he's creepy looking, like that's literally the point
The name of the theme park was Crinkly Bottom and my parents threatened to take me there instead of Disneyland Paris when I tried to get my sister to eat a frog
Mr Blobby was NOT a childrens character, and he was never "beloved", just seen as mildly humorous. You want to see a truely terrifying British kids TV show, look up "mr noseybonk"
