In 1993, the song "Mr. Blobby" by Mr. Blobby went to number one in the UK charts for Christmas. The quirky, pink and yellow polka dot character was created by Noel Edmonds and became a popular figure in British culture in the 1990s. Despite its popularity, the song was widely criticized for being a novelty track and has since been considered one of the worst Christmas number one songs of all time.
