Again, what is the point of this interview?

The way I'm hearing it, it's a former PR person now working for Masseys.

A bit grubby in my opinion.

Joe in his kitchen in Kildare dropping a single tear because bRyan said Christmas is not cancelled. FFS , get a life. I haven't seen one headline saying Christmas is cancelled! Is he just pulling this out of his @rse as usual?

Also, Christmas is a "phenomenon" that exists "round a box of chocolates"??? Jesus wept. Literally.

Maybe Christmas could be cancelled

100%. The Toy Show has turned into nothing more than a vehicle for pushing commercialisation into the homes of Ireland, aided and abetted by RTÉ and the self styled “Toy Man”.

To hear him then preaching that Christmas is too commercialised is nauseating.

If he wasn't so obsessed with trying to be Toyman, he'd be the very fella to complain about selection boxes on the shelves in September.

The daily attempts to convince people that the Toy Show is of bigger cultural importance than it ever was are pathetic.

Just goes to show that he's an awful presenter in desperately need of a legacy. He wants to be remembered as the fella who was brilliant at Toy Shows and hopefully people will forget the many diabolical interviews and boring Z-list shows he dished out.

This is made worse by the fact that his Toy Shows inevitably fail to live up to the hype that he tries to create throughout the year.

All I heard was a 10 minute advert touting for business, how many times did she mention Massy's?

Hypocrisy KLACON - man who has been whipping up a frenzy of hype and build up about Christmas since last April says that Christmas is too commercial.

Yes, because this kind of side gig does nothing to contribute to that:



The standard fees for these types of appearances, photo op and quote would be in the region of €20k. I'd imagine for him and his connection with the Toyshow etc. and the fact that it would be guaranteed to make all of the tablids, some of the mainstream papers but be plastered around social meeja would have been a multiple of that.



Then of course, he takes something he made money from and made it a feature on the show (last item):

Just doing his bit to help local irish businesses - FAO Schwartz are a small Irish toy retailer, right? :rolleyes:

Wiouldn't it be great to be an RTE Contractor with so many sidelines going on?

He reminds me of a very highly paid sandwich board man standing in Grafton Street. He is mostly a vehicle for advertising.

Extrapolating on ButtersSuki's moniker of the BoyMan, the LL toy show could be called the Late Late Boy Show, but somehow that sounds very very wrong

Very NAMbLA-ish.

"North American Man/boy Love Association" for those who missed that episode of South Park, but also a real thing so to speak. :eek:

Could see on the work laptop an article on evoke or one of those on tomorrow late late line up. The contents of an interview with Kevin Bacon given in great detail so I suspect that its pre recorded.

Long shot here but I'm guessing:

1) Kevin Bacon's opinion on Trump, Covid and Trump having Covid.
2) People Kevin Bacon knows who are dead or dying.
3) Whether or not Kevin Bacon is as Irish as cabbage and bacon.

mistersifter

Maybe they'll play the game, "The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" which shows that everyone in the world is only 6 acquaintances away from Kevin Bacon.


Or maybe they'll just do Tubridy's game - The 2 degrees of People with Terminal Illnesses.

Pelvis Parsley

We joke about the fixation of RTE presenters with hardship, bereavement and sickness, but it's actually disgusting.

Tubridy is, in his own way, one of the worst.

"We're going to lift your spirits."

/proceeds to extract the most misery he can from his every interaction.

Masks are becoming more and more fun.

Art imitating Covid.

ButtersSuki

Masks are fun!
I'll report you!
COVID-rage! Arggggh!
Table for one!
Christmas is not cancelled! Jolly good!
Donegal Town has good vibes. They're going ahead with the Christmas Lights - YES!
It's time to light the lights - you are a muppet alright Tubs.

ButtersSuki

I've said before that Tubs Z's monlogue resembles this guy, but today I found the perfect one for him:

Walks around Dublin - are't they brilliant? You just have to drive 2 hours EACH WAY across the city ftraffic for an hour's walk. Brilliant!

The Howth head walk starts lovely, cliffs. Sea views a lighthouse. But finishes in a council estate.

Its kinda meant to be that way, its a pity there has been a drive over the years to make it 3hrs of misery porn.
