Mr Blobby

Mr Blobby

Mr Blobby is a British fictional character, created by British comedy writer Charlie Adams. His design involves mostly a costume of a bulbous pink figure with yellow spots, a permanent toothy grin, and green jiggly eyes, with performers often using tone of voice and repetition to express moods and an electronically altered voice to speak the word "blobby" when the character talks; although they are also capable of other words when required. In most cases, the character was portrayed by Barry Killerby between 1992 and 2015 and by Paul Benson from 2015 onwards.The character became a noted icon of British television from the 1990s, after first appearing on Noel Edmonds' Saturday night variety BBC One television show Noel's House Party, which Adams was a writer for, before making appearances on other programmes in later years. The legal rights to the character are owned by BBC Studios and Unique Television Ltd., a company initially founded by Edmonds. In 1993, the character was the central part of a Christmas release, titled "Mr Blobby", which topped the UK Singles Chart that year.
