Last night saw TV3's version of the annual Toy Show was one of the trending topics on Twitter last night and, by all accounts, it needs a bit of tweaking to appeal to the masses.
It appears that the constant ad-breaks, the presenters and the lack of toys in general didn't really go over with audiences.
Here's just some of the best tweets during the show's broadcast.
Can't believe I missed Live with Adele for this painful shit...the things you do for your kids #TV3ToyShow

Maybe Shane Filan could have done a song or two to make it better? No, definitely not.
My 8 year old Star Wars fan disgusted that #TV3ToyShow called lightsabre a Luke Skywalker one - it's Kylo Ren's. Like obviously! @TV3Ireland

Thought the exact same, in fairness.
I blame the parents for that poor child's ridiculous top knot/man bun on #TV3ToyShow

We blame a society that allows a child to think having a man-bun is a good thing.
My 6 yr old just handed me the remote control & said "Here watch what you want" #TV3ToyShow

OOOF.
#TV3ToyShow feels like an episode of Black Mirror.

Probably one of the lesser ones, but still intelligently made and bitingly satirical. We'd replace Brian Ormond with Jon Hamm, as well.
I THOUGHT THE NEWS REPORT WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH ISIS I GOT SO SCARED WHAT THE FUCK #TV3ToyShow

Yes, it appears Santa's sleigh has been hijacked by ISIS and has now been tricked out with a nuclear warhead. Back to you, Maria!

OK, kids, we're now going to do a Human Sacrifice to the music of Adele. Take it away!
It's an outrage that the #TV3ToyShow isn't being hosted by Vincent Browne.

We only watched the show hoping he'd turn up. And he didn't.
Laughter provided by the audience from Cheers it seems #TV3ToyShow #NORM

And now, Frasier will talk to some kids about Marvel superheroes and gender roles in psychology!
