Sanfran Clothing Mr Blobby Homage Top Funny UK Tribute Gift for TV 90's Icon Legend Noel T-Shirt

Product Information

I’d like to know if it was a male or a female,” says Kerryn, looking down at, possibly, Mrs Blobby. “And I’d love to know how old. This guy could be 50 years old; we just don’t know.” Denson, unfortunately, won’t be playing Mr Blobby in the panto. Instead, he’ll be running a “Blobby school” with some of the cast. “On at least one performance, Mr Blobby will be played by me, because I’m not turning that opportunity down,” says Gordon-Wilson. I remember going to a big multiplex and asking the manager if I could just watch the adverts before the film,” Balcombe says. “They let me – but they kept an eye on me.” We know they produce eggs and we think they guard their nests,” says Kerryn. “We now know they’re an ambush predator.” His demand has waxed and waned alongside Edmonds’ fame (today’s Guardian booking is only his second since Covid). “There’s more mileage in Alan Sugar, but there’s more Sugars about,” he says. “People assumed it was me in the Blobby costume at first,” but Gold wasn’t involved in House Party. He doubts any of the Blobbys he has met (usually at corporate events) have been official. And, unlike the actual Edmonds, he can’t fly a helicopter. “I’ve been in one twice and I thought I was going to fall out.”

Paul Denson, 35, was working for Unique as a video editor when someone mentioned to him that the Mr Blobby costume was still in storage. Denson was asked if he would run the Mr Blobby YouTube channel and occasionally wear the suit to make video content. As a child of the 90s, he thought it sounded like fun. He says it was surreal putting on the suit for the first time.

He’ll be preserved forever like this,” she says. “He’ll be compared and contrasted with new specimens for years to come. We’ve got fish here from the 1800s – this is why we have museums.” But at sea level, Mr Blobby melted into the table aboard the NORFANZ cruise, the flesh of his forehead slid down into a ‘nose’ and the corners of his mouth sagged into that iconic frown.

It was instantly recognisable as a type of sculpin. These guys have a tadpole-shaped body. Their skin is what we would call ‘naked’; there’s no scales and very few spiny protrusions. The area around Australia and New Zealand provides the perfect sort of conditions for this family.” Kerryn hopes that Mr Blobby could serve as a key specimen for deep sea ichthyology researchers in the future, alongside the 500,000 other specimens preserved by the museum’s fish collection, the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. What does the future hold for Mr Blobby? “I don’t think he’ll achieve the craziness he did in the past, but I do think that over the next couple of years, he will become a celebrity again,” says Pascoe. He casually floats what might be the maddest Blobby idea yet: “What about Mr Blobby and Love Island? I mean, anything is possible.” Stowe helped sell ’Allo ’Allo!’s Fallen Madonna after a couple who bought it at a school charity auction in the 90s decided it was time to let it go. “It sold to a gentleman who lives in France, very close to where the series was set,” Stowe says. “He collects artwork and he’s got it on his wall alongside some of the world’s most famous artists. There’s genuine pieces of art worth hundreds of thousands of pounds and right in the middle is this prop from a BBC sitcom.” The expedition yielded all manner of fascinating animals, including more than 100 species new to science. But the specimen dubbed ‘Mr Blobby’ became the expedition’s viral star.I rang a trusted agent, who said: ‘I can only think of one person’ – Barry Killerby, a classically trained Shakespearean actor,” says Leggo. “He brought such fantastic physical comedy to what was essentially a big pink rubber blob.” The first Blobby that Scott bought stands in his hallway ready to great guests with its unblinking lash-lined eyes. His second Blobby – bought years later from a BBC employee – is kept in storage. Ichthyology Research Assistant at the the Australian Museum Research Institute Dr Kerryn Parkinson snapped the notorious portrait of the blobfish in 2003 aboard the NORFANZ cruise, a research expedition that trawled deep sea habitats between Australia and New Zealand to discover more about what lurks in our seas beyond the reach of sunlight.
