He appeared on the "Gotcha" sketch on ''Noel's House Party'' which hoaxed celebrities into thinking that Blobby was a popular childrens television character filming an episode about their particular line of work. Mr Blobby would begin by clumsily trying to take part in whatever activity their celebrity guest was trying to teach him before giving up entirely and resorting to rather violently breaking the set in order to frustrate the unwitting celebrity.

Mr Blobby would begin by clumsily trying to take part in whatever activity their celebrity guest was trying to teach him before giving up entirely and resorting to rather violently breaking the set in order to frustrate the unwitting celebrity.

After "Gotcha" hit the air the character could no longer be used in the same way but the popularity of the character led to him making frequent appearances in other parts of Noel's House Party (usually to unleash some chaos and destruction on poor Noel himself). In fact, Mr Blobby was so popular that in 1993 he released his own single and ''hit number one in the UK''. '''Twice'''.

Not so much a character as a force of nature, Blobby was a tall, pink [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin blob]] covered from his overly large head to his overly large feet in yellow spots. He also boasted a pair of bulging round googly eyes and a permanent [[CheshireCatGrin toothy grin]] and, as if this was not weird enough already, he spoke in a highly distorted electronic voice and said only [[PokemonSpeak his own name]].
