Gotta find something to watch waiting for the next ep ok😞

👋

MR. BONZO

*bird calls*

gotta say, they nailed mr Bonzo's voice

What the actual fu-?!

Jesus Christ!

I never had nightmare of Mr. Blooby but I used to have terrifying dreams of both Slappy the doll from Goosebumps but also a weird mix of The Demon Headmaster and Judge Doom (from Roger Rabbit)

WHAT THE FK LMAO

Are you sure you’re not suppressing a horrible memory?

Thought so

Honestly I just assumed that British cartoon characters were just… Like that

I didn't know that.

No it does not, that herpes abomination will never make sense

funny you should say that as i looked at the shape of him & his name itself which is another word used for something else, tbh not many have noticed that he's a giant walking pink spotty condom with arms & legs & the name blobby is what we use to nickname condoms instead of using its actual name so he probablys was another way of promoting safe s3x which may have been the intentions of his mascot charactor but they went about it in the wrong way turning him into something that just got in the way while trying to be funny at the same time & to top it off he was suppose to be a fad for the show but went way too far which made him famous

There is something so... British in the humor of Mr Blobby being a parody, it is perfect, and for some reason it is charming.

Speak for yourself, i hated that thing. He had pervy vibes and looked like mouldy bubble gum.

Putting Blobby next to the kind of toys that are big with small children, I feel like it was ahead of its time. If Blobby had come out now he'd be seen as a rip off of a bunch of different mascot horror IPs Edit: forgot about the theme parks. It's one dead child away from being one of those games in real life

Exactly he was a parody, a piss take, he wasn't even meant to be around that long just a one time skit on some Noel edmonds show or something... buuuut people found him funny, so he was milked and milked until the laughs faded away.

I loved the Blobby hahaa

hello lgbtq community

What is that?????

@@unclerobert7532 a horror podcast, originally based of the iconic Magnus Archives. Protocol took inspiration from Mr. Blobby to create one of their villains

Mee

THANK YOU FOR BEING THE ONLY PERSON OTHER THAN ME WHO CAME FROM TMAGP I WAS GONNA BE SO SAD

omg I was expecting more comments like this hahaha. He's even more terrifying than I imagined 😭

@@hrafnm28 I would beat the ever-living shit out of Mr Blobby, Bonzo bro i'm sprinting

I'm so glad someone else commented this. Mr.Bonzo makes so much more sense lol

Did anyone listen to ep 12...

Got me there

Hi

Me…

Me

That could be interesting. Mr. Blobby didn't like being shunned and forgotten, so now he's back...for revenge. 😈

Oh my god that actually sounds like a brilliant movie idea 😂😂😂

i loved the banana splits... that cheap shit horror movie did them dirty.

When you mentioned Kumamon, I thought you were talking about the Digimon character.

Omg I hate kumamon and the bastard is EVERYWHERE

Look up Mr. Bonzo

He looks like he'd be a character in The Amazing Digital Circus.

That might be interesting. He already has the "cute children's media that is actually horrifying and gorey" mascot horror look to him.

I would pay to see it

And I’d play it so I can scare the hell out of myself

My farts are better than Steve’s farts 💨

This is what DHIS was warnis us about...

It shows you what happens when LSD and a deadline get the better of you.

​@@jaqjynxah yes. "It's weird, therefore drugs *must* be involved"

So like Barney the Dinosaur?

That's making me laugh now too, thanks for the story.

you had me laughing till I read the last bit and now im sad

Guess you didn't have any siblings after that

@@rehanchowdhury368 strangely enough. No i didnt hahaha

Same. There's just something inherently funny about these creepy and/or chaotic mascots. Kids do get the joke. At least I did. And I think it explains the popularity of characters like Freddy Fazbear, Huggy Wuggy or Chiitan and Gritty.

@@PrototypeSpaceMonkey I was thinking that too.

Bruh, there needs to be a Blobby horror-comedy.

🙋🏻‍♀️ me too 💯

@@satireisnotdead5804 Too right there does!

My farts are better than Steve’s farts 💨

@@p-__gay

@@p-__ Actually, it’s my farts that are better than his.

Just as well as British teeth and the British occupation of Ireland! Bloody amazing really.

@@p-__you realize nobody is asking about your farts, right?

He also appears in the video for the Basil Brush christmas single "Boom! Boom! It's Christmas Again". My assumption would be that if he is always popping up in things like this then it's actually because he is still loved by an awful lot of people who grew up in the 90s.

If you think Mr bloody is nightmare fuel, then you should check out the numberjacks, my kids were all terrified of that damn spoon lol

​@@SilverSkyCloudI still live in fear of that spoon.

@@SilverSkyCloudI always hated the puzzler

you know you’ve got a bad reputation when even pudsey wants you dead

He is actually a walking blancmange. He is a pudding, his eye position would move depending on gravity and angle of head lol. That is what he is supposed to be, a goopy pudding with legs.

@@DailyCorvid that doesn’t make it better

One does not simply "Make Blobby better" ;) He is meant to be cursed!

In hindsight it is very perverse we subjected you to a big pink potato.

The Irish got revenge with Mrs Brown's Boys.

Damn the Irish can never get a break

Sadly it's not around anymore and has been just rubble since the early 2000s

I did witness Mr Blobby as a child. And I'm bloody glad of it. He's nightmare fuel and, as a huge horror fan, I love him.

@@Ghostgate611 not even a park any more?

@@tsm688 nope just an empty construction site that's been there for almost 20 years

​@@Ghostgate611 sounds still interesting to check out.

My farts are better than Steve’s farts 💨

The Tweenies was good

I've honestly heard a lot worse. It's up there with Black Lace, sure, but sometimes that's what you need for your ultimate cheese disco.

*YOU SHALL NOT PASS!*

It's a tie between Tenacious D or the Ghostbusters.

SAME WHAT IS CHESTER AND NORRIS DOUNG TO US

The word would be "agility".

Guess I'm not the only one.

@James84800 Totally agree with you, loved Blobby, thought he was funny as.

Is Mr Blobby the toughest man in the UK?

@theceoofcrackcocaineandamp5961 I mean that suit would probably soften the blows if he gets into a fight

What was your and your father's reaction to finding out?

Mr Bonzo I assume? XD

Yup

his teeth is not soft

Roll call!!

Here

And I bet the demons think that plush toy belongs up there with you. Even they would be terrified! 😂

It was Bouphe

The Doctor would be boned, if that space hobo encountered him.

And it would still be less scary than actual Mr Blobby

It's not a game, but there's a short film on KZfaq called "The Blobby Witch Project" which is kind of the same thing

The Magnus Protocol just did

Noel’s house party! Not home party!

Home party?! 😂

Damned auto correct 😆

it's called "house party" but yes i watched it every weekend too

My farts are better than Steve’s farts 💨

so he's a pokemon? A hideous mr-mime x jigglypuff gene splice gone wrong!

@@leonie7754OMG it all makes sense now.

Finally somebody mentions that absolute creep! I'm American, have never even seen the show and I still find him freaky!

The only jigsaw that I know brutally tortures people

​@@user-xh4ov1so1p Bold of you to assume Mr Noseybonk wouldn't torture people

yank here, vaugely heard of Noseybonk from Ashens and Blameitonjorge.

As an American I'm glad we had Barney, Blobby existed just to be a demonic little shit.

@@__FloweRy_ Or in steve's terms a infection.

at least barney was well meaning and wasnt offputting on purpose, some degree of care was put into the design

@@nickolaswilcox425 Yeah let me give you some straightforward advice never look at barney Up. His eyes look into your soul.

I was okay with Barney as a kid, but I know kids who ran from the room when Barney showed up on the TV. If this is what they saw Barney as, I can understand the fear now.

Not saying a lot really, Blue Peter was dull as f**k Never got why it was popular At least Blobby was trying to be funny

For education reasons?

@@mooganify maybe, not really my cup of tea when I was a kid, they never seemed to do much teaching, I found the arts and crafts stuff on Art Attack and the history stuff on horrible histories much more fascinating If you want to grab a kids attention start with imagination- but that's just my opinion of course Remind me, what stuff did BP teach? I honestly just remember presenters talking at length...

Almost everything else was worse. There were only 3 or 4 channels, and little for each age range of children

I kinda think blue Peter was almost like aspirational TV, like certain parents wan​ted their kids to be the kind of well behaved kids who liked blue Peter. The only thing I really remember about it was organising a cake sale at school and I got a badge! @@thomasjones6216

He broke the Royal Doulton with the hand-painted periwinkles!? Unforgivable.

Chungus Edition

That would be Mr Noseybonk

Like.... Slenderman?

My farts are better than Steve’s farts 💨

​@@p-__What?.

My farts are better than Steve’s farts 💨

I mean... not only was it 90s, it was 90s show business so you can imagine the sheer amount of illegal substances that were going around. Honestly, the way I imagine it is that someone spat out a chewed gum and was looking at it while on acid.

I'm pretty sure the creation of this character involved several narcotics. The writing team did a few lines and concluded:"What if we did a really weird pink polka dotted massive clown with demonic screams that just breaks stuff". An executive did another line and probably said: Yeah sounds like a great idea let's do it.

This was the 90's, pretty sure they used drugs most of the time when it came to inspiration.

It's really not that hard, the idea behind Mr. Blobby was to make a parody of children's mascots. And that meant that he had to be colourful, gaudy and obnoxious because kids love that kind of stuff. He was a blob so they didn't have to work to hard to make him look like anything in particular, and he made stupid noises because he was meant to be annoying. The point was to piss off the adults who would try and tolerate him because kids loved him. Just claiming "It was drugs lmao" buys into the BS idea that they are needed to be creative. You just need a idea of what you want to create first and what you want to accomplish. Mr. Blobby design is just "throw whatever makes him look stupid and ugly" as a design principal.

Are their industrial egg whisks not effective?

Or a being that not even the power rangers could take down.

Salad fingers is popular outside England to the lovers of the bizarre and surrealism such as myself

It took them a while but, they are finally airing the paddington cartoon

That's arguably not true though, is it? Shaun the Sheep, Basil Brush, Morph, Sooty & Sweep, Postman Pat, Bagpuss, Mr Benn, Bob the Builder, Peppa Pig, The Magic Roundabout, The Wombles, Camberwick Green, Winnie the Pooh, The Clangers, Fireman Sam, Chucklevision, Captain Pugwash, Pingu and Mr Men, are quite popular/were/achieved varying levels of success outside the UK. That is not an exhaustive list, by any means, either. Sure, some of those are nowhere near as successful as Mr Bean or Thomas the Tank/Thomas and Friends, but the thing is, Peppa Pig for example is arguably _even more successful_ than ALL of those you mentioned, combined. Peppa Pig genuinely is a brand worth billions, as low-key one of Britain's most successful TV franchise exports. And think of all the characters in Roald Dahl or the works of J.R.R Tolkien, popular with countless children, or JK Rowling for that matter. By online viewership and franchise engagement, Mr Bean will somehow still be doing great, with many tens of millions of views globally, but there are other ways of gauging success. Arguably, if something is culturally relevant enough to be memorable on some level, or reprinted and republished for new generations, then it is still something worthy of mentioning in terms of popularity, even if the cultural focus has shifted and even if the most people still don't know what it is. And 'popular outside England' can mean a lot of things (literally, anywhere that isn't England; including a lot of the Anglosphere with obvious reasons for having television company connections and contacts with the British television industry e.g. the Australian and Canadian television industry) It's why lots of British children TV shows from the 90's would mix up schedules with British cartoons but also international content from fellow broadcasters they were friendly with, sharing shows. For instance, on 'Dick & Dom in da Bungalow' you'd see anything from the Angry Beavers (USA), Yvon of the Yukon (Canada), The Cramp Twins (German-British-Canadian) and a range of other, often more experimental options on their segments. They'd do their pranks and 'bogies' thing, then run a cartoon before more weirdness ensued. Mr Men is obviously far past it's golden age in terms of it's place in the cultural zeitgeist, though having said that, it still sells millions of books worldwide, so is it a failure overseas? Not really. It has become very recognisable and it's also had the advantage, at this point, of about half a century of varying yet consistently good or very good recognition for being good children's TV and book content. It's pretty iconic in it's own right. But is it making Peppa Pig money? No. Popularity can mean a lot of things to be fair.

Apparently Powerpuff Girls too..! And admittedly I don't have any PPG figures or plushies and only things with 2D art on it 😅

And Teletubbies in 1997

So basically just Patrick

Where do you think they got the idea for Patrick?

He looks like he would lure little children into the back of a van. Not with candy, just by chasing them into it like a sheep heading dog.

Like not looking like a giant diseased phallus with eyes and teeth?

I watched the paddington movie, I watched 1 and 2

Very much the anti-Blobby. I know which side I’d rather be on, Paddington is way too twee.

The dad hired a person in a blobby outfit for his daughters birthday party, Blobby thought it would be funny to wreck the cake infront of the kid, the kid was upset and the father punched him.

@@James84800 Yeah! That's the *OUCH* detail!

I recall Blobby appearing on a poster with the slogan "Prices that take you back." An appeal to nostalgia. Evidently not a perfect ad though, as I can't recall what it was trying to sell.

@@vylbird8014 it was a Tesco advert, they had a few ither characters like Zippy and the Chuckle Bros

Gave me fresh adulthood trauma.
