Not really sure who "owned" Mr Blobby as such or even who owns him today but he was originally created for the Gotcha segments in the early episodes of House Party, and then when they had to find a new use for him the character just seemed to take on a life of his own - Christmas number 1 in 1993, merchandise, videos, the ill-fated theme park venture, the appearances of him on Generation Game and other shows since... And the character managed to outlive the House Party and is still going today 25 odd years later. His popularity in the 1990s would have probably been today's equivalent of going viral. Still it takes all sorts I suppose.
