THE LATE LATE Toy Show seared itself into the nation’s retinas last night.

You can catch up on our blow-by-blow liveblog over here. But right now, here are the 12 most important moments.

10. Tubridy losing control of a kart and saying ‘SHIT’ in a very audible manner

Whoops!

9. This kid’s impeccable recovery after waving at the wrong camera. WHAT A PRO

That, my friends, is the kind of turnaround that separates the wheat and the chaff. (Is that even a thing?)

8. Ryan introducing a pianist, and the whole nation of Ireland suddenly having to be told that it was overexcited and up past its bedtime

Whoops!

7. Youngster Oisin telling a story about giving Enda Kenny a fiver, and the hashtag #JusticeForOisin becoming an actual thing
