Dara's Nelson Mandela impersonation sounds like Greg Davies Chris Eubanks's impersonation.

[@alfredhadesworth9253]

I love that during the credits, Mr Blobby uncharacteristically shook everyone's hands quite professionally, and looked a little injured from the fall, then just hopped a desk to run after Jack.

[@aydenjacko5810]

Loved it so much haha! I need to see more of Mr Blobby and Jack Whitehall

[@graytlo]

I have watched this episode countless times but only saw the credits today 😂 Imagine though being chased away by your childhood fear? Terrifying!

Props to this channel for actually showing Blobby going after Jack at the end.

Mr. Blobby KILLED IT. I've not laughed that hard in a _long_ time. Utterly hilarious.

[@tristanterry5111]

Dara breaking Claudia like a billion times was such a wonderful part of this episode. And oh my god, the whole bit with Mr Blobby and Jack was gold.

[@jdlamb4212]

Sounds a little dirty

[@luhole]

Blobby should have won a BAFTA TV award for this performance. It’s one of my favourite things that’s ever been on television.

[@elisa.llew-send]

I laughed so hard with Mr. Blobby, I was crying and couldn’t breathe. This show is hilarious, but that was hands-down the funniest thing to come out of The Big Fat Quiz. (But also, that guy’s terrifying.)

[@sfshinz]

I laughed just as hard at Dara’s “Babe Station” miming.

[@CarbinePixels]

i agree.

[@TheHutchy01]

I enjoy the bit where Dara, Phill, and Alan invented "Whose Chatline is it Anyway?"

[@antster1983]

All it needed was Clive Anderson and we could’ve had a pilot episode! 😂

[@lollybaby2]

I laughed so much at Mr Blobby I had to my asthma inhalers out. Jack Whitehall looked genuinely traumatised 🤣🤣

[@Celticshade]

can we talk about how smoothly the dude in the blobby suit jumped and rolled off camera? i understand blobby is the shape of a bowling pin, but that was still incredibly smooth.

[@cedissad7665]

This show is literally the best to watch alone and stoned late at night. It makes me feel like I'm watching a documentary.

[@kimtan0627]

That moment between Jack and Mr. Blobby was so funny, but let's not forget also the ChatBack reenactment of Dara was so damn hilarious!!

[@missbizy]

Bummed there's so many missing video clips. I love trying to play along with these. Friggin adore Dara, Jack, and Alan. What a panel. Lol.

[@stone5against1]

Jack and Denise were so good. Imagine having that team, vs Russel Brand & Noel Fielding, vs Richard Ayoade & David Mitchell.. The episode would get nowhere, Jimmy would be so exasperated, it would be great!

[@Laurastar2009]

They tried that. The audience members who remained conscious (many passed out from lack of oxygen due to excessive laughing), claim it was the greatest piece of television ever. Sadly the cameras recording it spontaneously combusted, so no record of it remains. Jimmy had a breakdown from the exasperation, hijinks and sheer chaotic genius of it all, and had to take a break from TV work for a few months, so they couldn't even film a replacement show. They had to show a repeat that year.

[@jackmehoffe9372]

Nothing would get done

[@buttonsfan]

That would be great, but half way through I imagine David & Russell would be on a team, because inevitably Noel & Richard would team up.

[@stone5against1]

@@buttonsfan It would be chaos no matter what teams they come up with. Or they'll switch teams halfway through the episode just to piss off Jimmy

[@buttonsfan]

You are literally trying to kill me with this one. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time ... my wife thinks I am insane.

[@P.M_M]

God i havent seen Blobby for years! Tho on reflection as an adult, i now do mimic jacks question/statement of "how the fuck were you allowed round kids?!". Still in tears as i type this, one of the best endings to a program ive seen haha

[@justandy333]

I'm with Jack on this one! How the f*** was Mr Blobby allowed near kids?! He's friggin terrifying! Similar reason why people hate clowns probably. He literally wouldn't look out of place in some kind of horror movie/game. Five nights at freddies kind of s*** right there!

[@user-by7rt9oe3n]

I'm American and this is one of many BBC shows I look forward to every year. I've watched every one of these including 2023 and it's way better than American TV.

[@Snakebloke]

Not gonna lie, if I was Jack's mate, every halloween, I'd get a group of 9 mates, all dress up as Mr Blobby, and just follow him around London HAHAHAHA

[@benglaser1345]

I've never heard of Mr Blobby... but he will now haunt my dreams

[@elrhyesseyhrle8958]

Turning the chat line question into pantomime about boxes lifts and stairs (and then dying laughing) is quintessential British humor imo.

[@TerryODowd]

Winkleman nails it at @1:01:23 I'm 46, and am far too old to be going out with a 20 year old. She would be really bored.

[@Leatherargento]

Claudia is a total gem.

[@EvilPikachu]

Love the brief look of despair from Charles Dance at the end of his reveal. You can see the 'the things I do for a paycheck' look in those eyes for a moment there.

[@tigrecito48]

its great to see Mr Blobby on TV again, although I didn't remember him ever having an Irish accent!

[@dragonshadow1902]

Thought the U.S. was bad with Barney the Dino, but the U.K. takes the prize with Mr. Blobby. Nightmares tonight.

[@pseudonayme7717]

Top tip - Take some magic mushrooms and he will seem completely normal😁

[@EleanorPeterson]

Barney was puerile pap for kids, though: ludicrous Merkin teeth plus wholesome puritan Merkin sensibilities. Blobby - a complete bastard - was puerile pap from an adult show aimed at an adult audience. Drunk, stoned and horribly brain-damaged, yes, but adult nonetheless. A lot of people hated Blobby (and his creator!) with a passion so intense that it made them physically sick. Kids were both revolted and terrified of him in the same way that...(gasp, shudder, puke)... that they loathed... that they loathed... creepy... circus clowns. 🤡 Noooooooo...

[@Corgipon]

And then there’s the Philippines with Jollibee (the mascot).

[@Corgipon]

@@EleanorPeterson I wouldn’t say Blobby was strictly for adults given that kids have also been around him and there were some kids who were fans of him.

[@decodolly1535]

@@EleanorPeterson Blobby wasn't aimed purely at adults. Noel's House Party was broadcast at about 18:00, aimed at a 'family audience'. The Blobbyland Theme Park was certainly aimed specifically towards children.

[@chiaroscuroamore]

Mr Blobby was friggen hilarious🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@cups3]

Mr. Blobby = Laugh so hard I need oxygen

[@cryalot378]

that ending is legendary, btw I love how Jimmy gets abused by Mr Blobby

[@randalthor6670]

OK, Mr. Blobby is pretty-damn funny. I hope he had a bit of a resurgence after this show, just not back to a kids show but a show aimed at older audiences.

[@xsadvillainx1499]

As a kid I never noticed how demonic Mr Blobby sounded

[@user-lb9xw4xf2q]

I must have missed Mr. Blobby when I was a kid, but I'm glad I did because I get all of the comedy and none of the trauma for his resurgence.

[@Nic-tg2ei]

34:44 best ten minutes of a quiz show. Let funny people be funny together.

No coincidence that Whitehall was silent throughout.

[@stephanielitz4056]

[@nameless.greyceo]

It's been years since I first saw this and I am still everyday since distraught that they haven't brought back mr blobby for a weekly show like this.

[@SyrenDeeVOA]

All I wanna do is watch Mr Blobby chase Javk Whitehall around the studio and mess up Jimmy Carr's Ken Doll image. I am cracking up!

[@elroyvandam6073]

I have rewatched the ending with mr blobby so much now. One of the best and most chaotic things i have ever seen!

Here’s a couple 🎖 🏅 Thank you! 😊

[@robertlong9591]

This episode is a national treasure!

[@Jack_Wolfe]

Oh man thats the best episode ever. We need blobby and Jimmy all the time.

[@kiwi_crush]

The Y2K computers didn't just say "oh, ok". Disaster was averted because the collective international IT industry worked our arses off patching every conceivable computer system everywhere to change the date formatting etc so that when it ticked over to 2000 all the computer systems didn't assume it was 1900. And then instead of any congratulations for this Herculean effort, we had people saying "nothing even happened! what a lot of panic for nothing!"

[@davidhoward437]

Right on! People confuse prediction (which can be averted) with prophecy.

The Y2k bug didn't happen because they updated all the computers with a fix to solve the problem and anyway the idea that the world was about to end way over the top. It had the potential to be a serious problem, but it was solved before it ever became a problem; dismissing it belittles our ability to identify and solves potential problems before they occur, which is in reality, what we want to happen.
