Mr Blobby is a pink blancmange-esque human-shaped character who originated on Noel Edmonds' television show Noel's House Party in 1992, portrayed by Barry Killerby, and was the brainchild of British comedy writer Charlie Adam. Mr Blobby was initially a comedic device to wind up celebrities, and soon became a star of his own causing coordinated mishap wherever he roamed. Mr Blobby scored a UK Official Singles Chart Number 1 in 1993, denying Take That’s Babe the Christmas Number 1, with his self-titled song. Mr Blobby was once described by the New York Times as a ‘metaphor for a nation gone soft in the head’.
