<P> Howie Mandel said that he accidentally created the voice that would be later used to voice Bobby when he was choking on a piece of cake . Two of Mandel 's friends Jim Fisher and Jim Staahl signed an agreement with the Fox Corporation 's then newly created television division in 1989 . Fisher and Staahl asked Mandel to join them in creating a show based on Mandel 's Bobby character and voice . Mandel said that he believed Fox did not think his stand - up routines were `` family entertainment . '' He , Fisher , and Staahl ( co-producers ) recalled stories from their childhoods as they discussed the formation of the show . Mandel stated `` that was the seed of Bobby 's World . '' Later stories from the childhoods of writers Dianne and Peter Tilden along with Mitch Schauer were used as the basis of many of the stories . The other characters on the show were mixes of characteristics of the creators ' parents ' friends and relatives . Specifically , Uncle Ted was based on Fisher and Staahl 's former comedy partner in a comedy trio formed by the three after leaving Chicago 's Second City , called The Graduates . Amazingly , that partner Tino Insana read for and won the part of Uncle Ted . </P>
