The Toy Show-tonight

brettmirl

All programmes on RTE1 are running 6 mins behind due to "extended" coverage of the Late Late Toy Show.

What would we have missed if they ran to the proper time schedule!

I managed to watch the whole thing this year without throwing the remote at the TV.

The 2 traveller kids were win.

Fergie was sound, and still looks good for a tap.

The young one who came down the stairs singing was brutal.

Yer one with the guitar had a great voice. I don't care if it was twee. I found it was mesmerizing.

Pat Kenny has the charisma of a sick bag.
Reminded me of this vid about Pat Kenny (*explicit language*NSFW*)

Kevo....left on the doorstep of RTE at the tender age of 2 and a half and fostered by the Late Late producers

Anyone remember the Kevo photoshop thread that was on Boards a few years ago? That was legendary. I don't suppose anyone saved the pictures?

Il probably get shot over this, but Pat wasnt as bad as he normally was, at least he took the piss out of the medical system and the FAS fiasco...

Yeah I agree with that. He seemed a lot less wooden than usual - obviously the Barbara fiasco got him fired up!

Pretty good toy show this year - those traveller twins were kinda funny because they said crap (twice) but their, ahem, "rapping" was diabolical.

The girl with the guitar was quite good. The one singing Leona Lewis had a nice voice, but needs to work on her pronunciation (a moment like-a deeees)

Audience got a load of stuff, more than usual - Newbridge hamper, Butlers hamper, Creative Zen, can't remember the rest. I'm guessing this was to piss off Barbara!

Pity there was no Dusti or Zig and Zag though.

Is that an Alan Partridge reference I spy?

My God, Kenny's really wrecked the toy show. Isn't it supposed to be bout the kids and the toys? He's no idea bout either, how did he get to replace Gaybo? Gaybo made the show good and Kenny, well, whoever watched it, knows what I mean. :mad:

_Kaiser_

Personally I can't stand Pat Kenny OR Gay Byrne (who as a former chat and radio show host is somehow now qualified to lecture the rest of us on our driving??? :rolleyes:) but last night's show was actually watchable - mostly because I was reading this thread alongside it - some classic stuff in here

Is this going to be repeated during the week? Anybody have an idea of what time?

It is on Sunday afternoon at 2:40pm on RTE 1

Old Pat just lacks charisma, personal magnetism or any charm. He was much better suited to current affairs or politics.

smares

You have to feel sorry for Pat he is so awkward with the kids and there were so many silences on the show.
I think the funniest thing is seeing him in a cardigan it just does not look right!;)

Green Giant

A lot better than last year's, LOL at Del Boy Junior with his bargain table and the traveller kids. The girl who sang Imagine was excellent, much better than the Leona Lewis wannabe. The girl with the MyLife game ("I've only 3 euro left for the hospital") was kinda funny. As I said, an improvement on the 07 version. At least this time we had no bad High School Musical medleys, while the absence of June Rogers is always a cause for celebration.

So what didn't I like? McFly, the multi-cultural song just before the first ad break (you could tell by the faces of some of the kids that they didn't want to be there), the Top Gear eejits, the hip-hop overload, the outfits worn by those girls with the lop-sided ponytails (one of them got a hug off Sarah Ferguson, incase you're wondering who I'm on about).

And as for all the free stuff the audience got...I'll definitely have to go along to it next year

dedon

He seems to have a strange fetish for dolls??

Anyway the amount RTE have spent on training him and giving him interview training and training to help him relax and communicate better must be very very high. It doesnt seem to be helping him much.

The man is a shambles

Well of course dedon, it is their plastic personality. Pat is on a winner with them. He always looks very comfortable and at ease when 'interacting' with dolls. Seems to get a better response out of them than humans. I felt sorry for poor little Holly last night. The poor girl looked like her lifeforce had been completely drained standing beside Pat. I think we all felt that way last night.

myself and the lads watched it and it was uber cringeworthy. especially pat reading advertising slogans off the autocue.

I only watched a little bit of the show. What a pile of horse **** it is, and no wonder that lady last week didn't want to go; she was dead bloody right. It's absolute tripe and most of the kids haven't a clue about the actual toys.

Liamario

I just don't get it guys. We all know that Kenny is a joke. He has no personality, nobody likes him-yet he still gets way over paid and he still is the host of arguably the most important of RTE shows. Can someone please tell me in all seriousness why he hasn't been fired. At the very least, why hasn't he been replaced by ryan tubridy (who is considerably less annoying).
And one more thing, why are the production values on RTE productions so fudging poor. It really is embarassing. Especially when a big international celebrity appears on a show. :mad:

magnumlady

There must be people that like him though, because he gets a lot of viewers and listeners.
Although I think it would most likely be the older generation.
I don't think he's cut out for tv work at all, very wooden.

Holsten

God damn that was bad...

Gonna try for tickets next year, the free stuff was nice!

yoyo

Does anybody have the recording of the top gear lads on this last late toy show? Or a link to it,

Cheers

Just read the first 45 pages or so of this thread. Much more fun than actually watching it.

Well I do! Get back to Ethnica with ya.

Besides there there was ethnics on the show even back in the day. I remember a lad from my school playing tin whistle on the show with our school band back in the mid1980's. He was from Vietnam. The camera kept zooming in on him as tho it was a cultural curio. I guess he was at the time.

monkeyfudge

Those mad Kerry children they find are something of an ethnic curiosity too.


camel toe> I don't recall saying having different ethnic groups on was a bad thing.

How do you get tickets to the Toy Show?

At a guess I'd say work in RTÉ or be related to someone who works in RTÉ.

Or win the competition the week before and don't be a bitch about it.

My sister works there, but no chance of getting tickets. Only if you're well high up would you have a chance.

Anyone routing around in the bins out that back of RTE last Saturday morning, might have found a couple that could be sellotaped back together.
