It's back! This weekend marks the return of The Late Late Show (we know, Friday nights are sorted!). It has been on our screens since 1962, yes 1962, so to be entirely fair, we have learned most of our life lessons from it and indeed, a whole lot more. Here are 11 of our favourites. _______________________________________________ It's a national institution Everyone watches The Late Late Show. Everyone.   There's no show like the Toy Show It's the most important event of the year - no nights out should be planned for this time. Epic television. Gay Byrne taught us a lot Before Gay Byrne, the subject of sex would certainly never have been broached by Irish broadcasters. This was a video from 1991. We still weren't talking about it then. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uswOGpz5aKA Anything can happen You could even find the next big boyband. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E2T_WbA9AM There's nothing like a surprise  Look at his face. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBV39a2oFuA Never ever refuse Toy Show tickets Just, no. Pat will get angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ypQyOZq7Eg Ed Sheeran is a gentleman We love this one! https://youtu.be/c6ONH3f5Wsk There's always one. Oh, you know the kind. John Joe is a legend What a genius. https://youtu.be/3n6Jx_XiLKE You'll always get something There's always something for everyone in the audience. There's nothing like reuniting a daughter and her mother. Get ready for the tears. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9SC9d82BCA You could be chased by a random bird. Like we said, anything could happen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjV60Lv0GJo The Irish are a cheeky bunch Brilliant. We love our mammies What a man. https://youtu.be/0aQyjWwhj1U
