Fake newsflash before late late toy show

simu

What did you think at first?

Me:

First, that our beloved Bertie was in some sort of danger.

Next, that the Brits/Americans were up to sth.

Next, some form of terrorism.

Next, it actually is aliens. surprisingly, i wasn't that surprised (<---simu goes crazeh).

And finally, it dawned on me it was a joke.

Well, this was all very fast and i didn't sleep much last night...:eek:

rugbug86

pffft... They'd never interrupt The Late Late Toy Show for a mere news flash.

Davidius

I thought they were listening to an old coot and decided to switch over. Came back on during the Alien dance, then I got it was a joke.

The bf rang and goes breaking news on rte! UFO's i was like wtf.... he thought it was real!! and he says i have blonde moments lol

Dr. Nick

My 4-y-o almost **** himself. Wouldn't go to bed, scared the be-jaysus out of him. They maybe shudda thought of the little 'uns that'd be allowed to stay up until 10, before deciding to put it out.

All I heard for the next 30 mins. was 'the aliens, the aliens!'

At approx. 3.35am, my lad will be in to us, nightmares about aliens. Guaranteed.

for a moment i was like what the feck, has the spire collapsed in the high winds, is there another terrorist attack, then ann doyle smiled very slightly and i realised it was a joke. im sure it made some kids drop a pebble as well

rugbug86

my mother (bless) thought it was santa

racso1975

I think it was a load of crap myself plus what does aliens have to do with santa and x mas...........somebody inside in rte should et a serious kick up the arse and charlie bird should get one too just cause he's charlie bird

It wasn't Ann Doyle it was the other old blonde hag.

Sizzler

My instant reaction was it was a pi.ss take, the kids watching the TV in the room was a bit of a giveaway no?

OKKKKKK.......UTV!

Ah lads I can't believe yee all fell for it...come on. Just a warning on xmas eve they usually have a special newsflash on rte about magical happenings in the north pole so don't be too alarmed.

On a more serious note though, I'd say it frightened alot of kids, my kids were like "Mammy is it real are there really aliens?" They were frightened I had to tell them it was santa he was checkin out things in ireland. So wasn't impressed with rte when they knew young kids would be watching and they take everything they are told seriously!

Is there a youtube clip of this?

watty

The toy show is inquitus rubbish. But Late late not much better. Though improved since previous person gone ywho sneered at anything he didn't like.

I can't believe I'm getting sucked into the TV forum. I need therapy.

who gives you the right to call anyone an old hag....unless of course you are 100% perfect!:mad:

All that was needed to be said was that it was the other blonde one...

Don't suppose that you could possibly imagine that the people who are writing about might read something like this!

Sim2 - don't let it upset you or anger you. It's the opinion of just one person who you don't know and have never met so don't take it too seriously.

Normal Person + Anonymity + Audience = Obnoxious, I wouldn't let it get to me. I get called all sorts of things every day!

Did none of you catch it from the very beginning? I would've thought it was an obvious piss take. You could see two kids watching tv, then the newsflash came on their tv. Also Charlie Bird working late on a Friday?

Avns1s

Didn't see the toy show on Saturday night, and walked in on the start of the repeat yesterday afternoon. "Newsflash" just started. Must admit, it scared the bejaysus out of me waiting for this serious news .... and I kept wishing she would get to the point! Seemed to be drawn out.

It was a weak prank but sure what the hell, it's nearly Christmas!

J.R.HARTLEY

knew it was a BS intro because on friday nights showing they were watching two kids talk about what they wanted for christmas, then the kids tv had the newsflash and we zoomed in on it, so it was obvious if you'd seen the beginning bit with the kids, if you missed it you were probably thinking, "what in the name a jaysus is going on in rte"

dave connolly

If anyone happened to tape it, could they upload it on youtube. It hasn't been uploaded yet.
