"Audience, wha? What are you doing? Trying to eat me alivAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" - Audience Member 8Maik
"Experts say that The London Riot was more dangerous and had more injuries than Hurricane Isaac" - Audience Member Vatt
"Audience? Wat r u doing? Audience!? STAHP." - All of the Audience Members
All jokes aside, this was, literally, a Mob of Audience Members.
Basically on September 27th, 2012, Toby Turner posted a tweet about a meetup for the ones available on the September 29th.
Apparently, EVERYONE was available.

(don't want to have a really long post on the front page)
This meet-up was planned to be 2 hours long, which is a decent amount of time to meet about 100 audience members and have conversations, take pictures, sign autographs, etc. This idea very soon faded away when over 2,000 British Audience Members showed up. (Estimated by Seth Hendrix)
Diagram below:

Pre-TOBUSCUS arrival |
Don't you love it when random people hug you? |
Someone brought a foam finger to da partay. |
Just pure exhaustion. |
Toby doesn't believe his eyes of all these people here just for him and Seth. |
Trying to get everyone's attention (not that it's hard to get their attention, but that it's hard for them to listen) |
New York pride... IN LONDON. Sweet. |
(and I may not live in London, nor Europe for that matter, but I'm sure it was illegal to climb over the fence, but that's okay. shhh. don't tell anyone)
ASS-GRAB.. jk. Audience member trying to help Toby get over the fence. |
Some Audience members also climbed over the fence to join Toby |

"Toby Turner... Our new celebrity" - Professor Snape |
About 20 guys climbed over the fence with him (and 1 or 2 girls) |
Soon Toby decided this was a mistake, and people were going to get hurt, so to his best ability, he tried to get through the crowd once more, and leave to prevent any more injuries.
About 100 feral Audience chased him, and surrounded the Taxi that was waiting for him at a red light. They banged on the windows and car, and blocked the streets which just caused a big mess. When the Taxi got free, some audience members attempted to run after the Taxi, yelling about not letting Toby escape.

Police threatened to arrest people if they didn't stop recording and leave the premises
Also 2 other famous youtubers came, TheSyndicateProject and Piddleass, who were also mobbed when seen.
He's pretty good looking. damn. |

All in all, Toby managed his situation in a very cool, mature manner. He thought of others first, and really tried to keep things calm.

(there are many many many more videos, which you can find yourselves, but the total footage collected is well over 10 hours, which I do no have time to watch)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Only about 20% of the 2,o00 Brit's were obnoxious, rude individuals, and the guy to girl ratio was even, both genders were hugging, and mobbing him equally.
Oh and 1 more quote from tumblr... "AUDIENCE MEMBERS!!! HOW DARE YOU MOB TOBY! I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED! HE IS NOW SCARRED FOR LIFE, AND IT IS ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT! IF YOU PUT ANOTHER TOE OUT OF LINE, YOU WILL BE KICKED STRAIGHT OUT OF THIS FANDOM! Oh, and Toby dear, good job on being so sweet and mature about this. All of us normal audience members are so proud." - http://sun-in-the-morning.tumblr.com/ (It's for you Tobuscus/Harry Potter fans out there)
