Late Late Toy Show - Virtual Audience Members

Mango Joe

I heard of someone last week who was rushing to get their application in to become a Virtual Audience Member on the Toy Show.

They said the just one part of the many requirements were to record your face as you sat there showcasing a range of varied emotions for consideration by the dedicated virtual audience selection Personnel at RTE.

Immediately it became obvious that they only want to give tickets to those people out there with the biggest, widest and most maniacal grins so they can show close-ups of them lapping up Ryan's charm and wit as he makes smart comments in the direction of the kids for the benefits of the half-cut parents watching at home over 3 bottles of wine.

The worrying thing though was that one of the facial expressions they require from a potential Audience Member is one of sadness.

I shudder to think what they've planned here when the required reaction involves a having a facial expression showing the grim and heart-rending depths of human emotional distress.

Prepare for lots of virtue signalling and wokeness from Ryan!!

RTÉ in “television show is stage managed” shocker.

There might be a joker in the pack. Sick bags should be mandatory when Tubs issues his monologue that "we are all united in this struggle together". On planet Ryan, being on half a million per annum is comparable to hundreds of thousands people forced out of employment courtesy of his new besties in NPHET. All the slick RTÉ stage management isn't going to bridge that socio-economic divide, overwhelming entitlement versus let the plebs have a few crumbs.

He should be on twice that just in case the BBC try to poach him. We need to ring fence our stars guys.

I can't bear the man's voice or face for a second before scrambling to change the channel or turn off the radio. How do people watch this man? I can't believe people actually sit down and watch this crap, forever a mystery to me. All while he's bagging 100s of 1000s of taxpayers money.

Some people will do anything to get their mug on TV.

The toy show hasn't even started and I already want to punch Ryan Tubridy in his smug f*cking face.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think people on here were throwing that word into every thread for a bet.

It'll get at least a million viewers, but I doubt I'll be one of them. The hatred some people have for Ryan Tubridy is a bit over-the-top. At worst, he's mildly annoying.

Never knew Tubbs was a furry

This is why I want to punch him in the face.

I'd lay my house on it he says "A year like no other" at least 10 times.

Ffs people tune in to forget about the obvious current problem.
