    Because they get a trailer full of giveaways. The amount last night was very impressive

    It should be donated to charity by the companies involved. I don't see the point of handing out stuff to the audience every 10 mins just for sitting there.

    The famine clearly did not kill enough of us.


    You're certainly correct there. :rolleyes:

    You start a thread moaning about how rubbish it is but you watch it anyway and come back to post again :confused:

    You don't like it, grand but it is children's television, it's like arguing about the cultural relevance of the Teletubbies or Ben 10. I watched last night with my family. It's not the most highbrow thing I've seen recently but so what. It's not trying to be and we all enjoyed it. You really need to pull the stick out of your arse and not get so hung up on what other people watch.

    All the toys are donated to various charities. I'm sure the businesses do their bit throughout the whole year too, that the public tend not to hear about. What's the harm in a bit of publicity by giving out a few freebies to the audience. "One for everybody in the audience" has been a staple of the Late Late Show forever. The Toy Show is just a bit extra. And what's to say that some members of the audience don't pass on the freebies to others who might like them?

    People begrudge anyone anything these days.

    Agree with that, while charities are great, it seems like everyone that benefits from a bit of luck gets the charity angle thrown at them.

    I'm not begrudging anyone.

    The point of handing free stuff out to the audience is because it's a bit of craic. It's been done forever and it's marketing for the shops. I'd love to be in the audience for a few freebies. I mightn't use them all but I'm sure I'd find some people who would definitely appreciate them.

    For jaysus sake Smyths toys just GIVES them the toys. They don't charge for them, the best they get is a couple of mentions on air.
