It's been decreed that the Christmas season officially begins with the Late Late Toy Show and, sure enough, last night's episode was a barnstormer.
We had rapping farmers, Evelyn Cusack (yes, the weatherwoman), Tubridy trying to induce a woman into labour, David Walliams almost shifting someone and a young Bono, complete with a leather jacket and everything.
Of course, Twitter was having a field day as the show's hashtag soared to the No. 2 Trending Topic WORLDWIDE.
Here's our ten best tweets during the broadcast.

Wait until this girl's 18th birthday and her mother pulls out this video to embarrass her. She too will 'die on a table'... #LateLateToyShow

I see the faux U2 have the same height difference between the singer & the rest of the band as the real thing. Impressive. #LateLateToyShow
