Mr. Blobby's Mini Cooper

THE GUNGE TANK

Now for those unaware gunge is a UK term for basically GOOP / SLIME horrible viscous nightmare.

The victims of this segment varied from celebrities to unliked members of the public , they would have 2 people to be the potential victim and the audience would vote over phone who would get gunged at the end of the episode. Makes me wonder how terrifying it would be to sit there for all 50 minutes. Just hoping that you were the one that didn't get chosen.

What the fuck Even is this stuff

A question I also asked and the answer is

food-thickening agent with food dye

I like to think of it as cursed thick water so it is edible.

Taking shots of gunge to feel something -me

This concoction is also used in multiple other segments as well. I hate when they don't color it though PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD COLOR THE GUNGE OR IT'S WRONG AND LOOKS DUBIOUS AT BEST.

you guys know that Nickelodeon theory about the slime being green so they can Green screen it white , well Noel's house party just straight up Said ""heres some viscous clear-ish liquid ALL OVER THE AUDIENCE"" truly, horrifying

It stayed like this for the first few seasons but then later got adapted into the trip around the great house segment the person would be put on a miniature railway that takes them around the the manor eventually sealing their fate

Sometimes near the end of seasons if fans were lucky we got to see Noel get gunged

fun all around

They also changed it up a little more by season 6 and 7. But I'm not talking about season 6 and 7 because I don't feel like it!! Basically they stopped using it as much which makes sense but come on!!!

NTV

In this segment your family would contact the BBC to hopefully or unfortunately have noel bring the party to you!! Often with varying reactions

This was done by the BBC setting up camera in the liveingroom as noel communicates through the television. Family and friends of the person who was set up were encouraged to send in general information about person who would be on NTV or even send their personal possessions to noel for him to randomly show.

This was done live which was quite sophisticated for the time but also was a very big risk because the people on NTV were truly random and there was always a very big worry on the sort of things they could say on air. I Full-Heartedly believe that if a segment such as this existed in modern day someone would call noel slurs.

Producer Michael Leggo Sade in a 1991 BBC interview

“It was revolutionary, but such a nerve-wracking moment for me as the producer and also director. I couldn’t really relax until we’d done the reveal of the victim on NTV as you just didn’t know what this person would be like. They might say rude words or not be as fun as we’d been led to be believe. I was always nervous, but if it went well I could enjoy the show from there on!”

Number Cruncher

The number cruncher is pretty self-explanatory. somewhere There is a phone box to get into it. You need a code that they will show live on TV. You're then meant to run to said phone box in time to be the contestant.

You're shown a Multi-Digit code which They would then scramble , you wold have 45 seconds to not only find the new code as well getting paid more the more guesses you make. If he managed to fail this you would then be covered in gunge which yeah it's Noel's house party. What else did you expect. There's also a way that you can double your money but not many people get this far.

My upset with this game is most didn't know what they were doing and would go way too slow or not understand how You're just needing to rearrange the numbers. There's a clip that angers me of these two unfortunate individuals typing in the number nine continuously which does nothing to help them. Even Noel comments on the fact that that is only the first number

Wait Till I Get You Home

Noel wold in a pre recorded segment will ask a kid an array of different questions , then invite the parents to guess through a multiple choice game what they think their child answered with. If they answered correctly they would get a prize.

Later the kid would be invited onto stage after the parents have reacted to answers that they probably didn't prefer to be on TV , Noel then gives the kid a prize they want. Later changing the format a little bit by also having them choose an envelope which could be outcomes like "" Wash the dishes for a week"" "" be kind to your sister"" "" get ice cream with your dad"" the kid chooses the envelope by random but they always got a prize at the end which I think is nice

Gotcha!!!

Yes yes I will get to Blobby be patient there's more to this than just that

Gotcha which was originally called the Gotcha Oscars which was renamed due to legal action is a pretty broad segment because there is usually a different prank, but it's based around messing with British celebrities by setting up some sort of silly situation and then it ending with a GOTCHA!!! They would then be given a little reward for participating

There is one account of a celebrity noticing the cameras and figuring out what was going on making the whole thing backfire but I will leave that to a surprise on when and how and what the consequences are because I do recommend people watch this show

Personally, I love this segment because how creative they got. I couldn't even begin to explain how many wacky situations were set up and the hoops they probably had to go through in order to set these things up very entertaining

THE BLOB aka MR BLOBBY

Oh God... The time you've all been waiting for.

Mr Blobby was introduced in season 2 during the gotcha segment played by Barry Killerby.

The whole bit is that blobby is meant to be a kids entertainment icon and the unsuspecting celebrity believes this and in return has to deal with this horrific creature. Blobby became a fan, favorite and reoccurring character tho stopped being used for gotchas because he became too popular for the prank to work

Blobby is characteristically a chaotic goofball who will run into most things around him which like same! Blobby is also semi verbal? Primarily speaking through its own name with some words mixed in ""BLOBBY BLOBBY YHA!!"

People at first really liked Blobby in fact, you would be surprised and or expecting that children also liked Mr. Blobby AND OH HOW THE CAPITALISM RAINED there is so much Blobby merch all of it looking uncanny and horrible which I believe adds to it.

Multiple songs were made which reached top charts in the UK now regarded as horrible

Though sadly people then grew up and realized how uncomfortable it is to even look at this thing. Yes, I'm using thing as a pronoun for it

If you can't tell, I have a mixed bag of feelings involving the blob , as a young child we were exposed to Noel's house party threw top 10 videos leading us and our brother to watching old recordings which is why I care so much.

I remember liking Blobby as a kid almost finding it comforting. I'm mentally ill also take that with a grain of salt My overall opinion and current day is that it is both the worst thing I've ever seen and also something I look on fondly
