Ok so spotted the video of mr blobby on the big fat quiz of the nineties (and spent five minutes in tears of laughter)
What does it say that, when I was a kid, we all considering Barney (the purple american dinosaur) to be terrifying, and totally a means of torture - but we all loved mr blobby?
Like literally, we liked Mr Blobby. A weird, crazy eyed, creepy, guy in a smushy suit who used to do decidedly dodgy things to people. But we were freaked out by Barney the Dinosaur.
Honestly, what does that say?
(I find Mr Blobby funny now, in that 'OMG what even' - but totally see why adults were always semi disturbed. Mr Blobby says a lot about the UK. I am sorry world, kinda, that we inflicted him on you. I mean there was even the number one song. Noel Edmunds House Party was a huge thing.)
If you don't know what I'm talking about - enjoy the ignorance, I warn you now, do not go looking for the video. It is twisted.
