Toy Show tweets: Rapping farmers, Evelyn Cusack and Ryan’s ‘energy’
Gathered in our jammies, with a kilo of Cadbury Roses within arm's reach, we waited with bated breath for this year's Late Late Toy Show.
Would Ed Sheeran surprise someone again? Would we finally find our new John Joe? Maybe Bono and the lads would head over after their gig?
Well, not quite.
Last night's Toy Show was a very Irish spectacular indeed, with Evelyn Cusack as a "celebrity guest" and a "small farmer" named Fionn schooling us in the wonders of John Deere and how to rap.
As for Ryan, he definitely seemed to be high on life last night, especially for the opening number where he danced to Be Our Guest in a very fetching orange suit.
As always, Twitter was awash with #LateLateToyShow tweeting action – indeed, the hashtag was trending worldwide at various stages throughout the night.
Here are a few of our fave lines…

This reaction to Evelyn Cusack's surprise appearance
Imagine the sigh of relief from the budget department when he said Evelyn Cusack was his hero as opposed to Kanye West. #LateLateToyShow

This genius advice for RTÉ2
Fucking dare @RTE2 to gogglebox #LateLateToyShow next year. That would be living.

Oh and finally. this child, who was having none of it
Recorded the #LateLateToyShow for the 4yo. She’s not interested. ‘Consumerist propaganda for the intellectually bereft’, apparently.
