Americans have just discovered who Mr Blobby is and are now completely freaking out

If you're unfamiliar with Mr Blobby, he was a giant pink felt suit who guest appeared on a lot of BBC programmes, following his ascension to greatness on 90s variety show Noel's House Party.

With madcap antics and capers like this, it's a wonder the kids ever fell out of love with him, right?

The television subreddit was recently treated to his performance on the Big Fat Quiz of the 90s, in which he collapses most of the stage, breaks his eye, and puts straight deathfear into Jack Whitehall.

It also started UK resident reminiscing and posting more of his exploits - it was also many Americans' first introduction to Mr Blobby.
