Late Late Toy Show Thread

monkeyfudge

I thought I'd start a thread for discussion on the Toy Show as the evening unfolds.

Those kids on at the moment have FAR too much glitter on!

That feckin' UFO intro was SOOOOOO tacky.. Charlie Bird's clothes being ripped off. How dramatic..! :rolleyes:

Thought they'd go down the "i heard sleighbells" and "ho ho ho" too but far too early in the month for that.

Switching off for 8 / 10 Cats Now anyways.. let me know if Podge & Rodge come on and bring some much needed life into it.

Either them or the "insufferable arsehole" guy shows up for Round #2!

If you looked closely you could even see the strings.

Just a quick reminder that this show is aimed at children, not cynical losers with nothing else to do but take the piss in a sad attempt to make themselves feel clever or impress their peers. If you don't like it don't watch it. My kids are enjoying it. Goodnight.

that kid has an amazing voice (singing one not kerry one!!)

Creamy Goodness

omg @ hip hop santa.

No need to look closely... my grandmother who suffers with terrible cataracts could see the strings! *






* may not have happened!

I'm actually watching with my 9 year old nephew.

Laughing at all the crabby kids has always been the whole appeal of the show at our house.

Seconded, she was outstanding. Some people here will just criticise anything that comes on the screen in the hope it gets a reaction.

Perhaps there should be a separate thread for those of you who wish to take the piss and another one for genuine praise and criticism.

She was good. You'll usually get about one person who is quite good among all the dross.

That was the robot from Rocky IV... I knew I recognised him from somewhere.

Christ.. Rod Stewart's voice is atrocious! :eek:

The original by CCR will never be outdone.. i stand by that!

Passport

he sure has an awful voice.

Exactly like mine branners69, but do you and all the other online here tonight always watch what you consider to be bad TV for the sole purpose of going online to point out how bad it is or do you just reserve that for the Late Late or Irish tv in general. If you don't like it turn it off - easy eh?

m_stan

It's a great show for kids - unfortunatly my two are in bed fast asleep. But for adults, it's a great chance to take the piss. Don't take the piss-taking too seriously - we're only having a laugh.

God wasn't Rod Steward CRAP !

monkeyfudge

The horse robot is deeply disturbing.

afatbollix

is that kids name summer????? what parents she has

Yes I know. You could always follow your own advice.

In fairness to Rod the sound engineering at RTE, especially the Late Late and Your a Star, is diablolical. I'd be surprised if he can hear himself in the monitors what with the OTT reverb effects they use. It'll be interesting to see if they've got their hands on a Wii. I doubt it somehow though.

The Late Late Show is an institution which since I was a kid has been there to take the piss out of!! If its for kids why is the no kids in the audience and why is it on a 11pm!!

If you dont like reading this thread then go and be a good parent and spend some quality time with your kids rather then neglecting them and posting here!!

GOODNIGHT!!!

I've no problem with the general theme here, which is a long standing boards.ie tradition of taking the piss from the toy show

Now that Fisher Price camera is really cool. I was curious as to whether you could connect it to a computer to download the pictures or not, and you can. See here.

Now that could well be on the list for my little boy this Christmas. Might keep him away from my Canon 400d !

I see they got the ethnic thing out of the way early with a little black boy followed by two oriental looking girls. I wonder will Eastern Europeans be represented.
Goodnight!!

I loved how Pat said 'I remember when we first had robots here on the Late Late Show'

Was that when you started presenting the show, Pat?
