Because somehow… this absolute chaos gremlin got a Christmas No. 1 and a theme park.
Fun Facts (that sound made up but aren’t)
- Born on Noel’s House Party (Series 2) in 1992 as part of the “Gotcha” pranks.
- Released the novelty single “Mr Blobby” in 1993, which hit No. 1 twice and ended up as the UK’s Christmas Number One that year — even bumping Take That’s “Babe.”
- Became the mascot of Crinkley Bottom theme-park attractions (hello, Dunblobbin’ — his bubblegum-pink, spotty house). Multiple parks launched in the mid-90s; the most famous was at Cricket St Thomas, Somerset.
- Merch, cameos, chaos: from mugs to mayhem, Blobby was everywhere.
Classic Chaos Moments
- Wobbling onto live TV and annihilating furniture like it wronged him personally.
- “Blobby blobby blobby!” as both a greeting and a threat.
- In-park doorbell at Dunblobbin’ that allegedly drove neighbours up the wall. Iconic menace energy.
The Soundtrack
That synthy, cartoonish novelty bop you swear you dreamed? Nope — real, chart-topping, and lodged in our collective brain forever.
Where You Might Remember Him From
- Saturday nights on the BBC (Noel’s House Party).
- 1993 charts — the single you didn’t ask for but definitely heard.
- Theme park trips — photo in front of the Dunblobbin’ picket fence or peeking through the wobbly windows.
Daisy’s Corner
Oh babes, only Britain could look at a giant pink spotty marshmallow and say, “Yes, give him prime time, a chart career, and his own theme park.” This wasn’t children’s TV — it was a sociological experiment. And honestly? Icon behaviour.
