mr blobby is legit an urban legend caught on camera. its weird, disturbing and we cant be sure hes gone because he pops back up every few years.

I still contend that the scariest thing to hear in the dark woods would not be a screech , a snapping twig or a wolf's howl, but a distant cry of "Blobby, blobby, blobby!"

the nostalgia I felt when little chef came up is unreal. I used to travel 2 and a half hours every few weeks to see my great aunt and her family. I knew it was gonna be a good weekend when my mum would agree to stop for food at one, I miss it so much!

Hey JT, hey everyone, hope you’re all doing well! I’m Cornish and the ingredients of a Cornish pasty are: Beef cut into blocks (traditionally skirt beef as it’s cheaper), Potato, Turnip, Onion and Pepper wrapped in Pastry. They’re “bleddy aansom!” 😜 although back in the days of the Cornish Tin Mines, the miners would have pasties that were half savoury and half sweet as a desert. The sweet half would have berries and jam etc in it and the crust lined around the side would act as something to hold onto with the miners dirty hands and would be discarded when finished. Do NOT listen to the people who say you can put carrots or peas etc into a pasty because then it’s not a Cornish Pasty, it then just becomes an abomination 😂

British pints are actually larger than American pints. An American pint is only 0.883 the volume of a British pint. So a party seven can would be the equivalent of 8.4 US pints.

The secret of Greggs is quick, reasonably tasty, cheap food on the go. The fact that the sausage rolls and steak bakes are hot from the oven helps......that smell as you walk past is addictive 😅

Thing with Colin is, every supermarket has a knockoff version. Aldi just took the piss a bit by naming theirs Cuthbert (most similar name), and making it look just like Colin. Other supermarkets at least made theirs look a bit different, different face mold and so on, but Aldi really were asking for it 😂

I'm not sure Greggs has a close equivalent in the US. Maybe a mix of Krispy Kreme, Auntie Anne's and Subway? Greggs is not a convenience store, it's a bakery. So it sells loaves of bread, cakes and cookies. It also sells sandwiches - mostly baguettes - and then uniquely British baked goods such as pasties, steak slices and sausage rolls. It's all baked convenience food. Basically, the staples of British food are roasted, baked or fried meat, with bread, pastry and/or potatoes. Which is why the three places I always take Americans who visit are Greggs, Toby Carvery, and a decent chip shop - there are really no direct equivalents for any of those in the US.

The Aldi vs M&S Colin the caterpillar war was hilarious 😂

Henry has been dragged around upside down smashed into doorframes doors and furniture up and down this great country for so long and Hetty the pink hoover with lashes was his girlfriend in my mind (sweethomealabama), the tiny versions for your desk were absolute staples of any teachers desk throughout my childhood

Greggs was great until it got all upmarket and increased the price over 3x. When I was at Uni in 2007 I could get a Steak Bake for 75p. Now I’ve seen them as expensive as £2.30. every store use to feel like a local bakery which was cheap and cheerful but they changed their image to reflect a more modern deli like experience and hiked the prices to give a more upmarket image

I always thought Henry was just a gimmick product until I used it. It’s actually a pretty good hoover. And Colin is a legend

Little chef was like a milestone. Stop off for a break knowing how much longer to arrive at destination. This was when road travel took longer, A and B roads, not so many motorways.

I once pulled into a little chef years ago in Oxfordshire. I asked for their version of a full English breakfast. Waitress said sorry no eggs I said why not? Her reply somebody nicked them this morning I nearly fell off my chair laughing. Mind blown 😂😂😂😂😂

As a cleaner, I’ve cleaned with shark vacuums, Miele, vax, dysons… and I’ve had issues with all of them but my Henry has never let me down 😂 I work in a 50 lodge holiday park and we exclusively use Henry hoovers and the only thing we’ve ever had to fix/replace on them in YEARS is the heads when they wear down over time 🤣

Blobby also has a UK number 1 music single. There was a point where you couldn't escape him, and now he's ingrained in all our memoirs. 😂😂

Cornish Pasty - Beef (usually skirt), Swede(traditionally Turnip), potato, onion all chopped up into small squares/triangles, seasoned with pepper, drop a knob of butter in, wrapped up in shortcrust pastry and sealed with a crimped edge. Glazed and baked in the oven for 30-40 minutes. I live in Cornwall and it really is a big part of culture down here, everyone can name their top three pasty shops within a 50 mile radius. My three are Gea Farm, Anne's Pasties and Ethringtons butchers in scorrier. I would settle for a Cornish oven or Philps though. Rowe's and Warrens are a joke, I don't know how they are allowed to call them pasties, unsuspecting victims will fall foul to these chains and think that's what a pasty actually is meant to be... Just to add, we don't have Gregg's in Cornwall because people would grab a pasty from their local bakery instead of going to Greg's so they pulled out and closed all their stores. Edit: apparently Greg's making a comeback down here!

Mr Blobby is the stuff of nightmares 😂

I think you doing things about the UK has opened your eyes about us. Some things we are proud of, some not so much. We have gasted your flabber about us, we can be naughty. ❤️🇬🇧

Little Chef was like a truck stop. Cornish pasties traditionally contain beef and vegetables. When the Cornish miners went to work they normally had half savoury with the beef and veg and the other half was sweet to eat as a dessert.

Cornish pasty...beef, potato, onion and sometimes swede, with a light gravy. The shape is important too.

Party Sevens (and their little brothers, the Party Fours) were for when you had a party at home. Basically, it was like having a small keg that people could use to top up their glasses. You didn’t have one big can to yourself.

There's a detail absent from the Party Seven that it's important to note. Sure you could just pop the thing open and use drink it with your friends BUT, the idea was, it came with a tap. A metal and plastic device which had a compartment in it for a CO2 "bulb"(cylinder) which clamped to the top of the can, and sealed the opening for dispensing the beer from the oversized can to your glass. A plastic tube on the underside of the tap drew the beer up from inside the can (pressurised by the forementioned CO2 "bulb") and as if by magic, draught beer right there in your house. I remember these things as a kid growing up in the mid/late 1960s - 70s and most of the adults around agreed they, to use a modern term, sucked! The beer was cheap disgusting slop and the cans did not keep a good seal where the tap was fitted so that any beer not consumed almost immediately the can was first pierced, went flat and was even less drinkable than it was when "fresh" There was also a smaller version, the Party Four, and other breweries had their own versions of these oversized draught beer in your house cans. BUT the system was universally crap and they soon disappeared. Nobody I know lamented their passing

Greggs is so well-loved in and around Newcastle that in my home town - South Shields - there was 3 Greggs *on the same street*, two of which were just 2 doors away from each other.

Henry vacuums are made by a British company called Numatic, they make them for domestic and industrial use. Their industrial models are great and very reliable.

When I was the service engineer travelling all over the country in the 70s , starting about 6 o’clock in the morning I’d love to stop at little Chef at about 8 o’clock because it was the only place I could get pancakes covered in maple syrup . I’m still addicted to this day

I was a manager at Little Chef. We were a bit like a roadside diner you have in the USA. It was a national chain, that changed ownership several times until the last owners closed it down permanently.

Cornish pasties are usually full of beef chunks, onion, swede, potatoes but were originally half meat and half sweet, like jam, and were a whole meal for hungry Cornish miners.

Gregg's is good as you get the same items for the same price anywhere. The down side of it, was that it pushed out all the small independent bakeries which are as rare as hens teeth now.

Mr Blobby started as a character on a Saturday Night entertainment show called Noel's House party. He was on a spoof childrens show as a practical joke on celebs who thought it was a real show. It was intentionally awful , irritating and scary, the kind of a thing a clueless TV exec might dream up after overdoing the drugs. It was supposed to be a one off, but the first one got such massive reaction that they pranked several other celebs with him. And then Mr Blobby was everywhere.

Cornish pasties have minced lamb or beef, onions,swede or turnip and sometimes potato. The filling is seasoned with a good dose of pepper and wrapped in its iconic pastry case. It has a thick twisted edge as it was originally made for miners to keep the main part of the pasty clean from their dirty hands. I have never had a pasty outside Cornwall that tastes as good.

The Cornish pasty has great historical significance too. It was eaten by miners for their lunch, with the savoury one end and sweet the other end. A meal in one. As their hands would be very dirty so they would hold the pasty by the crusty crimped edge and then that was thrown away.

Ah Mr Blobby, you either laugh or scream. You need to watch 'Jack Whitehall is terrified of Mr Blobby' it's hilarious. And Mr Blobby had a #1 song in the charts for some reason 😂

2 minutes in and now I want to watch Life on Mars (again). God I loved that show

I loved Little Chef. Used to stop at one on the way to my granny’s in Gloucestershire as a kid.

Found this vid by chance, i love your reaction to Henry the Hoover! I didn’t realise Henry was only in the UK

A UK pint is 568ml, a US pint is 473ml

The Party 7 was for a party of lots of people. It wasn't meant to be drank by 1 person. From what I remember Little Chef was super expensive. £4.99 for a breakfast years ago was a lot. Most local cafes would sell a £4.99 breakfast today where I live. Everyone pretty much despised the House of Lords. Cornish pasties are amazing. News of the World was pretty much The Sun on Sunday. Garbage tabloid. The caterpillar cakes are pretty much swiss rolls covered in chocolate and sprinkles. they are tasty and good for little kids birthdays. Greggs is the best. Tizer is a kind of fruity pop.

That Party 7 can reminds me of the still available "wine in a box" and those mini kegs of WKD and the likes you could get. I think I took a WKD keg to every house party I went to as a late teen/early 20's lol.

I come into contact the newspaper pretty often. I always grab a free copy of the Metro on busses and at train/tube stations, but only to do the crossword. I'll only read the articles if something catches my eye

There a lots of protected food products in the UK, where you can't call something by it's name unless it's produced in a certain area of a certain country, like champagne, cognac or feta. The UK parliament consists of the elected house of commons and unelected house of lords. There are some great videos explaining the whole system, you should definitely react to those.

Oh yeah, as someone who visits the UK at least once a year, Greggs (and Pret) is definitely a lifesaver for quality quick grabs :D

JT I love your natural spontaneous reaction to things. Also your- little chef head bobble dance was cute.

Colin the Caterpillar is iconic! It always reminds me of when my uni flatmates got me the Asda version, Clyde, for my 20th. You're never too old for a caterpillar cake!

Party Seven- it's a sharing can, JT!! Hence the name- PARTY Seven!!

Traditional Cornish pasty have beef potato swede/turnip onion salt and pepper they where made to be portable lunches for tin miners, fishermen and farmers to take to work the ridge or handle could be held so they tin miners could eat around it then throw that away so they don’t get sick

Cornish pasties have beef mince, potato, and onion i believe. I also really enjoy tin miner pies, its basically the same but 2/3 is a cornish pasty and 1/3 is apple pie

As teenagers we used to share party sevens or if we were a bit hard up the smaller party 4 and mix with cheap cider. And yes these were UK pints which were 20 Fl Oz as opposed to US 16 fl Oz pint. Aaah crazy days.

I live in Cornwall. You can have different fillings, but the traditional cornish pasty is basically filled with steak and potato. Yes, it is lush. Used to be made specifically for the miners. Their hands would be dirty, so they would hold onto the crust to eat the rest of the pasty, and then the crust got thrown away. Personally, I think the crust is one of the best bits, so it's a shame for them 😆 I've had pasties outside of Cornwall, and they're never as good. Always come to Cornwall if you want the best traditional pasty.

Colin is your go to birthday cake, everyone has had a Colin at some point . This is not just a caterpillar, this is a Colin caterpillar!! 😂

That reminds me, I need to get some new hover bags for my Henry. 🤣🤣

We had a Henry when I was a kid. my mum got a new vacuum cleaner. When the new one broke down, she went back to the Henry. We eventually gave the Henry away to someone who needed a Vacuum cleaner. That's how Reliable they are!

Colin the Caterpillar is an absolute birthday staple. We had them every year on mine and my siblings birthdays. It's a sponge roll with chocolate cream in the middle. The true fight was who got the face slice, usually the birthday boy/girl 🤣 I had the mini Mr and Mrs Colins at my wedding, same concept, mini chocolate rolls with chocolate cream filling and mini white chocolate faces. The Mr and Mrs version had a bow on the Mrs head and love heart sprinkles 😁

15 shillings is 75p now. Party Sevens were cheaper than buying smaller cans, but seen as pretty naff even then. Little Chefs were great - their food was excellent - sadly missed. The House of Lords has existed for 100s of years. It used to be full of aristocrats, but there are only a handful left now. It is mainly made up of experienced ex-politicians and other professionals. They do not formulate laws, but only amend non-financial laws voted for by the Commons. The video gave the wrong impression.

Henry the hoover is the best hoover ever, nothing else compares, we have them at work, home , mine lasted 28 years.

I live in the UK, Greggs is known of making pastries, one of the most sold items is their sosauge roll, basicly pastry around processed hotdogs.

Mr Blobby even has his own hit music record. And yes, it DID get to number 1 over here.

The House of Lords isn’t just rich land owners, some of the country’s most influential and intelligent people sit there. So the man that invented IVF treatment for infertility is a Lord and speaks on medical issues or Baroness Benjamin who presented child’s tv programs and helped children’s charities.

I have a Hetty vacuum which is pink...but it is great if you have building rubble to clean up..very heavy though..real work out dragging it around the house. To heavy to get up the stairs.

Cornish pasties were invented for the miners in cornwall that had to go into tin mines every day. They would bring a cornish pastie into the mine and the pastry served as a layer of protection against any harmful sibstances from the mine. The pastry was not for eating

Used to love Little Chef. On holiday we used plan the car trips via a map of Little Chefs so we knew we could stop for a meal. Originally Cornish Pasties were made for tin miners and had one half savoury and the other sweet. As the hands were dirty they could hold the edges and then throw those away after eating. Nowadays they just have savoury meat and potato and spices.

In case you're wondering, Little Chef is the UK equivalent of IHOP in the US.

You should start watching some of our British tv shows like the i betweenness, Benidorm, Friday night dinner, only fools and horses and more

Cornish pasties are great, and just one is a meal. Never really been able ro work out what's in them, but thats more if a general inability to tell root vegetables apart on my side of things. I could just look it up. But there's definitely beef in there.

Greggs is so funny. No one ever thinks “oh shall we go to greggs today” but everyone has very often thought “gosh I’m starving but in a rush…oh look there’s a greggs” and ran in for a £1 sausage roll or chicken bake 😂 it’s a great hot snack stop

Little Chef was always a Treat there Jubilee Pancake stuffed with Cherries and a block of Ice Cream!! absolute Heaven!

😂😂😂 your reactions made me laugh. I bet you thought us British are mad 😂

Colin is the original legend, no birthday is complete without him!

they are not Cornish pasties if they are not made in Cornwall, actually recently KFC in UK is no longer called "Kentucky fried chicken" coz us british don't eat your chlorinated chicken! lol

Greggs isn't a convenience store, JT. I guess the best way to describe greggs would be an extremely good bakery. They sell everything from brownies and coffee to pizza slices. If you're in the UK, you should definitely try it, especially the gingerbread men damn they're so good.

Party Seven was the beer equivalent of a wine box. People usually only bought it if they were hosting a party, it was for sharing, not for someone to drink the entire can alone (although I sure a few people did). I was the epitome of 70s sophistication, like cheese, pineapple cubes and silverskin onions on sticks.

Mr. Blobby was originally a prank - there was a segment on Noel's House Party called the Gotchas, where they would prank celebrities, and the idea was that they'd convince a celebrity that Mr. Blobby was a new kids TV character and his only role was to be as obnoxious as possible to try and piss off the celebrity. I still remember the time he was in the papers for getting the shit kicked out of him at a children's birthday party because he just showed up and ruined the birthday cake.

The Party 7 was a large can of beer really only suitable for home parties because once you pierced the top of the can you needed to drink the entire can before the contents went flat and undrinkable, until someone created a dispensing system that kept the drink inside under pressure with a compressed gas cylinder, which I think had carbon dioxide (CO2) in it just like a soda water bottle is recharged. The most common brand in the UK was sold under the name Sparklets and could be bought from most food and drink stores but also from a chain store called Boots, a high street pharmacists. The dispensing tap would extend the life of the product by up to four or five days, but it was clumsy and easily dislodged from the tin.

I miss little chef their Olympic breakfast was damn good aww pancakes with ice-cream and cherry

6:58 time stamp... the wall they are sat on is in a stunning small fishing village called Polperro. I have a photo of me and my son sat on the same wall. I take him here at least once a year and they have an amazing pub that does fresh caught fish dishes daily called The Three Pilchards.

Hi, Josephine from Yorkshire in England here, Greggs is amazing if you ever get the chance to go there. I'm not sure if this is the same in every Greggs store or not, but normally they have a wide range of food and drink choices, some of which come in a lunch deal. Some of these products include pizza, sausage rolls, sandwich baguettes, Walkers crisps, doughnuts, brownies, muffins, apple juice, orange juice, water, and other hot and cold food and drinks which I can't remember off the top of my head. You can request to have some food products heated up for a few minutes in the oven, but double check the packaging before you do this, and some can still taste nice regardless as to whether they are hot or cold. Depending on the size of the Greggs, you might get some chairs and tables to actually eat inside if you wanted to, but they're not all the same. I think the idea is to eat and drink them on the go, at least that's the impression I've got over the years.

Greggs is awesome. I live not far from the shop shown. They are a staple on every high street. You can go to any branch and know you will be getting exactly the same quality and taste. They can be addictive though. When I worked in a town centre there was often a mid morning trip to greggs by someone who came back with stuff for the whole office. You’d be fine then one person would say greggs and that was it… 🤣

Don't forget UK measurements are different to USA measurements a UK pint is 20 fl oz whereas a USA pit is only 16 fl oz this makes the UK bigger than the USA pint

Corniche pasties basically like a shepards pie wrapped in a pastry covering rather then covered with potato top. There's also vegan pasties. Everyone's had a collin cake. It cheep and cheerfully and long enough to give a good number of slices.

I was having a swig of a beer, watching the Mr Bobby part, I legitimately just spat my beer out laughing my head off when JT said, Wait What ? That's its voice ? 😂😂😂 I've got beer coming out of my nose and I can't stop giggling 😂😂😂😂

The ingredients of a Cornish pasty can come from all over Britain it just has to be put together in Cornwall. How that works I don’t know 🤷‍♂️ but they taste nice

I totally forgot that Tizer existed, yet upon being reminded of it I can instantly remember the taste even though I haven't had it in decades.

In a traditional Cornish pasty, in one end is a beef and vegetable meal and in the other half a dessert usually consisting of apple pie. Today they are typically a savoury meal but in Cornwall they still sell half and half.

As a seventies kid I remember my mother driving us and stopping at Little Chef on the way. I remember the free lollies too. These impressed us greatly but hey it was the seventies...

One of the things Greggs stores are so famous for (and quite rightly so in my opinion) are their incredible sausage rolls. The very best in the world. Their staff are all friendly and the prices and quality of their foods is just wonderful. Greggs has become a real British institution and one we're all so proud of.

Gregg's, I used to get food from there when I was in Newcastle, had the est Sausage Rolls around. I lived there from 1978- 1980!

The whole caterpillar cake thing was so funny Aldi marketing team were genius with it. Definitely check it out

The House of Lords can’t block laws. They just revise them and make sure they’re the best that they can be and send them back to the House of Commons for further debate and discussion etc… saying that the House of Commons can disagree if they think what they want is the best for the country.

The party seven was perfect for party's as it was cheap and the beer was awful so we would take it to a party but drink all the good stuff 😊🙏

Greggs is brilliant! Gregg's Peas Pudding and Ham Stottie Cakes are wonderful!

Mr Blobby was at the opening of a local supermarket along with a famous boxer Frank Bruno who has a really distinctive laugh. Blobby got into the store and knocked over a whole stand of spirits doing thousands in damage. Glass and booze everywhere.

Love your British reaction videos, as a proud Englishman.

Used to have cornish pasties here, until that law. still have those pasties here in Australia though. ANZAC biscuits are another thing that cant be called anything else

Greggs is great. We used to have local chains of bakers selling savoury meat pastries, pastys and pies all over. They tended to merge over time and then get bought out by the bakery chain from a bigger town. Greggs is sort of the last man standing,. starting in Gosforth, Newcastle (I actually ate there recently) and taking over all the other chains in Newcastle, then the whole North East, Then the rest of the North (they bought out the excellen Birketts here in North Lancashire). Now they are becoming bigger and bigger down south and in that there London. My daughter and I had breakfast from there this morning. I had a minced beef and onion pie, she had a sausage roll, salt and vinegar crisps (chips in the US), a Sausage and Bean Melt, She had a coke, I had a flat white, and we both had a double chocolate muffin. Tasty grub. And in Newcastle, it seems like they are on every street corner.

We have many types of pasties, cheese and chorizo, etc. They're SO GOOD! I go to Cornwall a lot during the holidays!

You think 7 pints is crazy, our 1 pint is actually more than US pint. The US pint is 470ml whereas the UK pint is 568ml.

Greggs are literally...amazing, you can get; sausage rolls, crisps, drinks, pizza slices, donuts, shortbread, brownie, baguettes, small sandwiches, savoury pastries of varies types (like beef or chicken). they also do seasonal treats like gingerbread or hot drinks at xmas. i got food from them throughout my late teens...there was one not far from my college...far easier than waiting in the huge line at the cafeteria. just quickly go to town and grab some greggs.

A traditional Cornish Pastie contains steak, swedes and potatoes, wrapped in a pastry. The 'crimped' edge was originally designed for miners - in order for them to eat the rest of the pastie with their dirty hands.

Omg the little chef ! EVERYTIME we drove from Grimsby to flamingo land we would go here so nostalgic!!

As a proud English woman I'm gonna say that Gregg's is one of the best places to buy pasties in the UK
