@@zuppymac Penneys is Irish but Primark is British. The company couldn't use the original store name outside of Ireland because of J.C Penny. Britain was the first country to have "Primark" stores.

6:35 Close. Not the same as an empanada (which has Spanish origins) but you can get 'Cornish' pasties in Mexico (spelled 'paste'). They were brought over by Cornish miners in the 19th century and became popular in some regions. The ingredients can vary more than the traditional Cornish, but it's still based around a meat and potato filling. You'll also find variants in Australia, South Africa, some parts of Wisconsin, and other places in the world with historical links to the Cornish diaspora.

I was going to recommend his Big Fat Quiz of the Year appearance, because one of our beloved comedians (Jack Whitehall) hid from him, but instead I'll answer the question posed at the end; I love Mr Blobby. I have since I was a child and I don't think it'll ever end. somehow, his voice is a noise that doesn't give me a headache and his absurdity makes me laugh. he works far better in a studio, surrounded by adults than he does in public, partly because half the people on TV now days also grew up with him. there's something just so British about a pink and yellow, polka dot creature that screeches and knocks everything over.

[@MrBulky992]

In 1909, the House of Lords overreached its power by rejecting the budget passed by the elected House of Commons. The Liberal government seized the opportunity to cut the Lords down to size as it was obviously unacceptable for an unelected chamber to thwart the democratic will of the people. A general election was held in 1910 and the Lords caved into the House of Commons on the budget. After a second general election in 1910, the Government gained the agreement of the King to force through the Parliament Act of 1911 which totally removed the House of Lords' power to block legislation permanently and replace it with a power merely to delay legislation, though this power of delay did not apply to money bills. The hereditary nature of the House of Lords began to change with the Life Peerages Act 1958 which allowed new members to be appointed for life only. Over the last few decades, no new hereditary peerages have been created (except for members of the Royal Family who, by tradition, do not attend debates, speak or vote) and some peerages have died out, owing to lack of heirs. The House of Lords Act 1999 ejected over 600 hereditary peers from the House of Lords, leaving around 100, elected from amongst themselves by those eligible. The House of Lords now has 800-900 members in total, the vast majority of whom are life peers appointed for life. 26 bishops of the Church of England sit in tbe House of Lords also. It is not the equivalent any more of the US Senate which does indeed have the power to block legislation. The Lords are now purely a revising/advisory body. Ultimate power in practical terms and the final say lies with the elected House of Commons. The Parliament of the UK is by no means the only one in the world to have an appointed upper house rather than an elected one.

[@machendave]

Every time I state my thoughts on Mr Blobby, KZbin refuses to post it. I lived near the theme park that Noel Edmunds had built, Mr Blobby was the main draw. A friend had her childs birthday party there. They did not supply birthday cakes, so she had a local craft baker make a cake and they took it there. They had the party and supplied food, in came the birthday cake and Blobby destroyed it, smashed it off the table, jumped on it, then rolled on it. The poor kid was in tears. When the parents complained they got, "you know what Blobby is like, you should have expected it"

The Mr Blobby reaction is so real.

[@mrnoknowncure]

Mr Blobby was originally a regular prank element of an English light entertainment show - he was conceived of as the ultimate bad children’s mascot and unwitting celebs were tricked into making what they thought were genuine instructional videos for kids with this ludicrous character who (unbeknownst to them) was deliberately causing chaos. However, the character proved to be unexpectedly popular and took on a new life of his own beyond the original prank format, getting his own spin-off videos, novelty single, guest spots on TV shows and a famously failed theme park. He now has an extended lifespan far beyond that originally intended thanks to post-ironic nostalgia and people genuinely enjoying seeing a subversive/chaotic element introduced into television shows.

[@colingregory7464]

In theory the House Of Lords not having accountability means that they can "do the right thing" without having to worry about "Public Opinion" and avoid overreacting as a knee jerk reaction to random events that the commons feels "it must react to" in order to keep itself elected

[@angeladormer6659]

Hi there, Grumpy old English woman here. Corniche pasties (pronounced passties), are synonymous with Cornwall what you call empanadas were adopted by South America from Cornish miners who went there when the tin mines closed. The pastries you get from the Thai takeaway are probably Samosas. Calzones are made with Pizza dough/bread whereas pasties are made with pastry. I continue to be amazed how unworldly Americans are. Educated British people know much more about the world and our place in it than those of America. We have many wonderful things here that you will never find in USA, but you're a nice guy.👵🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌹

Watney's Party 7 was mentioned in the TV show Life on Mars. I remember Little Chef, and never went to one. The House of Lords is unelected. Basically the political parties submit candidates to the monarch who then either accepts or rejects them. Cornish Pasties are protected foods in EU law.

I have a Henry! When I was much younger (in the early 90's) my Grandfather had a decent sized contract cleaning company & he only used Henry's for vacuums. My mum inherited the company and also used Henry's religiously. You may ask why they used only Henry's, it's because they're almost indestructible & they last for years & years & years. I've seen them fall down flights of stairs & still work, one survived a car crash when the car was a right off!! One even shrugged off getting hit by a fast moving forklift that was ramming through a chipboard wall on purpose!! I've had my Henry for 15yrs now & prior to having him my mum used him in her cleaning company for ??? years. I use it every day because I have a Husky & not even the copious amounts of fur he drops slows Henry down.

[@HordrissTheConfuser]

Mr Blobby worked as a concept because it was dripping in irony. The moment they tried to play him straight was when the joke began to fail. It wasn't the hit single or the merchandise, it was the attempt to create a legit Mr Blobby show, and the attempted theme park. Even now, though, it presents a challenge and an opportunity to people in showbiz. How quickly and how well can you pivot between following the script and absolute improvisation? Can you truly remain in character no matter what? Watching how people cope (or fail to cope) with a giant pink and yellow avatar of chaos remains the reason why Mr Blobby is entertaining.

[@klaxoncow]

"Blobby, blobby, blobby!", as Mr.Blobby would say. The origin story of Mr.Blobby actually explains things. "Noel's House Party" was a Saturday family variety show, starring Noel Edmonds. As a variety show, they had a bunch of different segments. There'd be comedy skits, quizs, music, stunts and pranks. A little bit of everything. And one of the segments they had was the "Gotcha" awards. This was basically a segment where they'd play pranks on famous British celebrities, and then they'd give them a "Gotcha" award - styled after the Oscars - for being a good sport. They did various different pranks. But one of them was to pretend that they were filming a children's TV show - with the celebrity being asked to host the show - and the idea was that "Mr.Blobby" was the mascot for the kid's TV show. And the prank was that "Mr.Blobby" was a chaotic nightmare to work with. Totally unprofessional. So, the premise of the prank was the celebrity trying to seriously host this kid's show. But then "Mr.Blobby" would ruin it all. Falling over and breaking the set. Taking objects and breaking them. Getting in the way of the shot. Maximum chaotic unprofessionalism. Whatever could go wrong, Mr.Blobby would make sure it went wrong. And then, at the end of the segment, they would, of course, reveal to the celebrity that it was all "just a prank, bro", give them the "Gotcha" award - which was a goofy take on the Oscar statue - and everyone's happy and laughing. So "Mr.Blobby" was originally invented to be a parody of the typical costumed characters you get on kid's TV. The fact that he's slightly demonic and absurd in appearance was all part of the original prank. Like, he's weird as hell... but just normal enough that you'd buy that he could, in fact, be a real children's TV character. His unprofessionalism - falling over and breaking things - was the original prank being played on the celebrities, making him an unprofessional nightmare to work with. But, the thing is, life imitates art. Kids actually adored Mr.Blobby. He was created as a parody of a stupid children's TV character, but then the kids loved him, so he really did become a genuine children's TV character. I guess the kids loved that he was genuinely chaotic. Hilariously so (but, yes, it does get tired fast, doesn't it? Because, well, his character is a single joke - that he's a chaotic nightmare. Initially funny, but then, okay, do you do anything else? Nope, he doesn't do anything else, as that was the entirety of his character and the joke). Therefore, Mr.Blobby moved from just being a "prop" in a celebrity prank segment to joining in with the comedy skits, and then he released a song. Which, no doubt, was also meant as parody... but then it reached #1 in the pop charts and, oh, there's money in this character, thought Noel Edmonds. So Mr.Blobby went from strength to strength and inexplicably became a big celebrity in his own right. But he started as a parody. A deliberately stupid and fake "children's TV character" to prank celebrities with. But he was just too good. That Shakespearean actor inside him was just too good at bringing the chaos. Too hilarious in going off-script and destroying everything. The dude playing Mr.Blobby went full "method actor", even for such a stupid character. You can tell from the reactions that, sometimes, when he destroying the set, he was breaking things he wasn't supposed to. Like, it was probably not scripted that he'd break that china statue on "This Morning" and that's why the hosts can't believe he just did that. (But, even in the UK, this "origin story" isn't often known. I know because, well, I saw the original "Mr.Blobby" pranks at the time. I was there to see it happening. But where he came from - a celebrity prank segment - was downplayed as he became a big celebrity in his own right. I guess Noel didn't want to tarnish his new get-rich-quick scheme, as Mr.Blobby became really big, selling #1 singles and likely made him a lot of money.)

[@Sladey1601]

Mr Blobby is the most terrifying kids character thats nothing but pure chaos, yet hilarious at the same time. A very divisive character that either makes you belly laugh or terrifies you. Hes a national treasure. You should do an episode dedicated to him you'll love it 😅

[@georgeprout42]

He wasn't intended to be a kids character, he was part of Noel Edmunds's gotcha series. "Celebs" would think they were on a kids show and Mr Blobby would cause havoc. Turned out that the kids loved him, probably because of the mayhem, and he went from essentially being a prop to a bit of a "star".
