As Ryan Tubridy kicked off this year's Late Late Toy Show last night, people watching on were quick to notice an unusual sound pattern coming from the audience. The sound of woos.
Look, you're an audience member for one of the best nights of the year. It's exciting, we understand. But perhaps someone got too excited during the show, much to the ire of an entire nation.
We're talking about the now infamous 'woo man'. The hoots and hollers were quick and fast, and 'woo man' made sure not to miss an opportunity throughout the almost three hour show. The search for the man in question was on. Irish Twitter was, of course, on the case.

We have removed the 'woo' from our sirens after listening to comments made about the #LateLateToyShow audience.

Even after gaining quick notoriety, the 'woo man' made no effort to slow down the pace, in fact the irritated stare of the nation almost seemed to spur him on as more and more people noticed.
What we're sure were good intentions to bring a bit of a hype-man mentality to the already pretty lively audience, the 'woo man' has now unfortunately become an unintentional villain. We just feel sorry for whoever was sitting beside him.

You know I respect the woo man but I think he needs to pick one woo and stick to it he’s switching it up too much

Woo Woo Man, we are begging you. Please for the love of all that is right in the world! STOP!! 😭😭😭#LateLateToyShow

We still don't have the identity of the man in question, but our advice? Maybe lay low for the next few weeks until this all blows over. It might be a while before you can woo safely once more.
God love this man when he turns his phone on after the show...#LateLateToyShow pic.twitter.com/jzxddcr676
