The Late Late Toy Show

Q_ueeny

Thought this was a good idea for a thread.

Cant wait for Friday night As much as everyone hates Tubs , I actually love him!

My Bestie and I (25 and 26!) are having a sleepover at mine , like two big kids we are!

Stocked up on Wine and Sweets and Romantica and getting take out for dinner so we are going to be on the couch for the night! Im really looking forward to it

I have my first Christmas party then Saturday so this will get us in the mood

Will you be watching? Is it a big deal in your house?

Gotta love the toy show all right. No matter who's presenting it's usually one or two of the kids who steal the show. And there's always a toy or two that act up on Tubs.

Bpmull

We always watch the toy show in our house even though my younger brother is 14 we still all watch it it is normally good and gets everyone in the christmas mood.

hdowney

Have to watch the Toy Show. It is an institution. Will be putting the tree up on Friday and then sitting down in the Snuggie with some wine or hot choc by the fire to watch Tubs make a twat of himself!!!!

I am going to throw this out though. BRING BACK DUSTIN

The 3 year old and I are going to get take away and make popcorn and have a big treat of a night:)

Oh hai

Can't wait! Our first Christmas as husband and wife, we'll be putting up the tree and eating lots of junk while watching it. Happy days

Keano

We usually watch it at home but will be baby sitting two little children as their parents are going to the show! Jammy gits.

Moonbeam

I so want tickets:(

TOYSHOW!:D Putting up tree night!!:D:pac:

Tipsy McSwagger

Watching Die Hard 1&2 instead, way more Christmassy than The Toy Show and no Billy Barry kids.

I'm in my 20s and I'm still looking forward to it! Hope the standard of musical guest picks up a bit though. I'm sick of looking at Jedward..

Saw this on Twitter this morning: The Late Late Toyshow Drinking Game 2012.

Might try it, but I'd say I'd be hammered about half an hour in..

carolinespring

Going to get a take away, open a bottle of wine, have ice cream and cuddle up with the husband on the sofa watching the toy show. Love it!!!

Luck of the draw.

You apply to RTE for tickets,and then RTE do a draw (due to massive public demand for tickets) and who ever they pull out of the tumbler gets an invite/tickets to the Toy Show.:)

Tickets are NON TRANSFERABLE...so they cant be sold on for profit.;)

What does Ryan Turbidys presenting skills,sense of humor and last years Christmass turkey have in common??

Both were/are as dry as fcuk.;):D:D

Tubridy has got to be an improvement on Kenny in fairness. He looks ridiculous in a christmas jumper and that just adds to it for me.
The 4 year old will be having an afternoon snooze and staying up with us to watch it. Really look forward to it every year. The tree goes up then on Saturday.

Brenville

All excited for Friday. Son 5 will be showing a toy. Sent in dvd and he got called for audition and got it.

paddy147

There is a scam going at the moment.

You get sent a text from a number claiming to be The Late Late Show.

You are told to call another number for your tickets.

The number is a premium rate number and is a hoax number,and nothing to to with RTE at all..

Its a con job set up by a fraudster and he tricks you out of your money,via this premium rate number.

RTE have made a public statement today that they DO NOT inform people by text about Toy Show tickets.


If anyone gets a text about the Toy Show then simply IGNORE IT.

I think people are just sick of Jedward in general. They appeared on the Toy Show in 2009 & 2011. They don't deserve to make a 3rd appearance to be honest!

Bad luck - Jedward will definitely be on. Not sure if live, or just the thing they filmed for it a while ago.

I've read a rumour that there is going to be a one-off super group formed from various Louis Walsh acts performing!

They were only on it in 2011 I think advertising the LLS competition! And they will be doing that this year too according to my neice! The competition is a trip to Florida.

Cannot wait for this tonight So excited for it.

Going to eat dinner and drink a stout (or two!) while watching it

paddy147

Ryan Turbidy took 2 hours of my families life off us tonight.

Absolute horseshyte and no propper toys.....my 9 year old daughter was very disappointed by this years toy show,as we were too.


RTE camera crew and floor manager need to be shot for lazy/half arsed camera work too.

deegs

was it really that bad? We are watching today on rte player?

Toto Wolfcastle

I enjoyed it. It was a bit messy but the kids were particularly mental this year and it was good fun.

Giving an 8 year old girl a book to read about a child being taken into a foster home and then being sent back into a care home is good fun then???

And then making the james bond kid out to be a pervert with the camera and looking at girls on the streets with it??

Badly Scripted shyte from RTE this year and its a new low for the Toy Show tbh.

RTE have some questions to answer over the Late Late Show and how it was produced and how it aired..

Alicat

Well I enjoyed it. Yes, Tubs was acting like he was on speed or something but as long as the kids enjoyed it!

Now now...we cant have another scandal involving drugs and one of RTE,s presenters.......


Too much candy floss and sugar before the show perhaps??:pac:

The show was fun, wtf has the book got to do with it? No one ever said the book was fun but it would still be a good gift for a child who is able to deal with content like that.

Not from me anyway!

Well you and I obviously see things in a different light with regards whats fun and whats not fun for young kids to read and do,with regards a Late Late Toy Show.





And with regards to being able to see things...(not that I could see very much with the half arsed camera shots and very poor shoddy camera focusing).:(

They have always featured a 'serious' book or two on the Toy Show for the older kids. There needs to be a bit of balance, not every kid wants a fluffy, funny, colourful book. It took up less than a minute of the whole programme, hardly a reason to question whether the show was fun or not!

Lego--mentioned once.......didnt see any of it on camera

Schleich plastic toy animals---(massive seller) yet not a mention on Toy Show

Build a Bears----again not a mention.


Yet Tubs acting the complete twonk with his carry on and taking away from showing any good toys,close ups or even getting a half decent look at them.


He forgot 2 toys at the ad break and then managed to break one of them by leaning on it (kitchen set).

He did the same with the 2 young lads with the video games (he fcuked that up too,so you couldnt actually see what they were playing).


So between Tubs running around like a twonk and the half arsed cameramen.........its was a bit of a farce.



Yep,the recession must be really hitting RTE hard this year.






The kids sinnging and the young lad doing the "beatbox" was very good though.

Alicat

I never mentioned any of those things. I merely picked up on the ridiculousness of using the one book as your top statement as to why the show wasn't good fun.

Yes the show was a bit messy, but I wasn't talking about that.
