PEOPLE HAVE BEEN banging on for years that the Angelus needs to modernise and move beyond people mournfully staring out of the window for a minute before the Six One starts.
Back in 2015, RTÉ announced that they would indeed be revamping it, but tonight something very different took place:
A cartoon tree creature was crawling around the forest as the famous bongs played

Brave new world.
The immediate reaction of everyone at home? “WHAT just happened?”
He looks and acts a bit like Baby Groot from the Guardians of the Galaxy series
Both appear to be adorable tree-like figures
You’re almost expecting him to come out with “I am Groot.”
We’re now declaring this The Groot Angelus
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
A star is born
This just makes the very concept of The Angelus even more confusing than normal
What’s planned for Monday? If a Chris Pratt lookalike appears in full Guardians of the Galaxy cosplay then we know something is up.
