Victoria and David are very well matched - both smart and funny. She's also a television game show presenter, and is the daughter of Alan Coren, a well-known humorous writer. She's also a champion poker player. Check out the Mitchells vs Lee when David tells his story about moving Victoria's bookmarks...

It’s sort of an unwritten rule in WILTY when telling a truth that you are kinda allowed to tell little enhancements for comedic effect but the basic crux of the story is the truth 😅

It's funny with comedians because you get some like Lee Mack who are perfect for the panel show format, but don't do that great at doing stand up (IMHO anyway). Then you get others, like Stewart Lee whose stand-up sets are works of art but he failed miserably when he tried the panel show format. Then of course there was Sean Lock who was a master of both

Lee and David are good friends, so are quite at ease taking the piss out of each other

Yes, which should really be a flaw of the show given there can't be much interesting stuff either has done that the other one wouldn't naturally know about.

You have to understand that Lee was making a lot of jokes in this. Not everything was 100% true. It’s a comedy panel show, not a police interrogation or a court trial. I’ve noticed a lot of Americans struggle to understand this concept and not be able to see when Lee or another panel member is making a joke and not being truthful or actually making it as part of their claim. The another woman in bed was a joke, the I’m not even married was a joke, the grandmas ashes was a joke, the impression of his wife being unpleasant was a joke, the sweet spot was a joke, the size of the chip being massive was a joke and the glass of water shivering was a joke. Everything else that Lee said however was true. Unless I missed any jokes.

Plus.......Getting the right or wrong answer, scoring high or low etc is irrelevant. The quiz is there as a vehicle for the comedy and if each point has to be paused or broken down, then the flow of the comedy is lost. Just sit back with an oxygen cylinder and enjoy.

The important thing to remember is that only what's actually written on the card has to be true. The rest can be completely made up.

Quite, what often gets missed from the clips is at the start of the show Brydon informs the audience that the panellists don't know what is written on their cards. So because with lies they will literally be making everything up on the fly with no prep, it's levelled out by the fact that they can try to appear to be making up the stories around the truths. It would be a fairly easy game if they had to only stick to concrete facts in the latter case (plus a lot of the stories wouldn't actually be that interesting or funny, like this one which is just about a bloke chipping a pot)

Heavy? Yeah, it's pretty deep man.😂

There is a clip of David completely losing it with laughter over a sketch

I am stopping at 7.23 to say, no matter how bizarre, I think this is true. My mum had one coveted terracotta cooking pot in the 1970's and oh boy, cleaning it in anything but fresh water so as not to taint it was a chore! I have one now, the idea being you soak the pot in cold water for ten to fifteen minutes, prepare your food, and transfer the pot to a COLD oven, and allow the temperature to build, but it keeps the food inside succulent, with the food sealed, inside letting it do its thing. These pots come with rules! HA HA!!!!

The story of David and Victoria is quite sweet. David pined after Victoria for several years, utterly besotted by her, but she was in a relationship with someone else so he kept it to himself. He used to drink, go out at night, and walk around London until the early hours of the morning just to get over his pain and loneliness. Eventually Victoria was single again, David plucked up the courage to ask her out, and they lived happily ever after, completely devoted to each other with two daughters. 😊

When Lee is telling the truth he adds so much outrageous stuff to it that you can’t believe it’s true.

I love lees impression of his wife, how she’s horrible and shouts and screams at him so he’s a quivering wreck of a human.

Thing with Lee Mack, is that he makes things so ridiculously over the top(incredibly funny) that a normal person would think! "No way". I think David Mitchell realises this. Plus after all it's part of the game show, to throw the other team off, from the correct answer.

the shocked gasp from poker champion Victoria Coren Mitchell when Lee reveals that it's true and that she failed to read his double bluff

It’s fairly easy once you’ve figured it out. The more exaggerated the details are the more likely it is to be true, in order to sound like a lie. The lies are usually not that exaggerated in order to sound plausible. Human psychology. Also, the question about the pot being usable afterwards was pretty obviously something he had to recall from his memory. The body language revealed it.

It also works good in reverse though, like the time David told the story about his wife's book marks when they were on the same panel and Lee had to cross-examine them.

Yeh Lee's Ridiculously quick,and I'm sure he can't help himself a lot of the time,but he'll have a comeback/remark for EVERYTHING.....👀🤷‍♂️👏👏😂😂😂💜

The one where David Mitchell completely loses it was the episode where Nick Hewer and Rob Brydon share a jumper.

Many of these people are just so good at this. Don't feel bad for getting it wrong again.

Check out Lee Mack on Graham Norton's show telling his anecdote about working in a holiday camp. John Cleese is another guest and he has him in hysterics.

If you want to see a rare instance of David Mitchell not only cracking but completely losing his shit, watch the WILTY clip called "Rob Brydon's Cuddle Jumper". Had me dying!

Obviously Lee is embelishing it alot

If like us Brits see this amazingly entertaining comedy programme for what it is, it’s a vehicle for some very talented comedians, tv personalities and sports people to simply entertain the viewer in this case it’s a tentative quiz format very loosely but unimportantly truth or lie almost irrelevant but if you don’t pause they do sometimes present photographic evidence, old pics of the instigator. I hardly care but revel in the interplay of the personalities and the TV programmers who can drop them in it with a terrible lie to defend.

Victoria's dad was a very funny man. I don't think David ever knew him, as I think he died before they met. But what a pair they would've made.

There are few comedians as quick witted as Lee Mack.

Lee Mack must have kissed the Blaney Stone as he has Irish heritage. His grandfather Joe was born in Southport, but was taken to Ireland as a baby and brought up by his grandparents in Ballina, County Mayo. Wikipedia.

i forgot how funny Lee Mack is

Same episode, about David moving Victorias bookmarks!

Check out Lee's bit on Irish names, amazing bit of comedy gold.

Lee Mack is my favourite comedian with Sean Lock coming a close 2nd. They are both just so fast and naturally funny.

You’ve got to do some reaction to David Mitchell playing William Shakespeare in his series Upstart Crow. He’s hilarious. Harry Enfield plays his father and is often seen sitting on the lavatory in the sitting room.

Only what is written on the card has to be true. Lee then creates his outrageous unbelievable tale that convinces everyone its a lie.

they get a to have a bit of comedic licence with their answers... but I think its the actual answer on the card that they have to determine whether to be true or false... naturally Bob is the master of embellishing.

I'd love to see you continue with Not Going Out as every episode is just packed with his wit (one of the few comedies that are still made in the UK!)

David and Victoria are best friends with Lee and his wife, and even Victoria got it wrong, so don't feel so bad about this one dude.

A common mistake people make when playing this game at home is thinking every detail of the story has to be true so often guess 'Lie' because the panellist said something clearly ridiculous when recounting it. So long as the main claim is true, they are free to embellish and downright lie in some cases when explaining it. Bob Mortimer is a good example as the names of the people in his stories are obviously fabricated (e.g. Caramel & Waffle)

Watch the video entitled 'David Mitchell completely loses it' by someone called Shaun. David reaches a Category 5-level loss of self-control.

Lee Mack also does a comedy show called 'Not Going Out' which is very funny.

Lee has the ability to make it sound nonsense just to put the doubt in your mind

I watched your reaction to Not Going Out episode 1 and you seemed to really enjoy it, so how come you never did another one?

Lee is so quick at coming up with a story, his wife must feel like every day is WILTY. Now did the supermarket really run out carrots?

Plenty more where that came from . There are no bad episodes of WILTY . Lee and David really make the show .

You really would enjoy a TV programme called Porridge. It stars Ronnie Barker and is iconic TV Absolutely brilliant N

I think David laughs a lot inside.❤

I love Victoria's reaction. ❤

One thing about WILTY is the good players will intentionally make the story sound stupid as a double bluff. So all of the things he said were probably not true but the main part was, he broke an old pot and replaced it.

If this is one of the funniest things you've seen from wilty, you really should just watch the full compilations, they've got a majority of the best bits in one video.

You need to watch the cuddle jumper one ❤😂😂😂😂

Lee's quick wits can fool anyone.

When it comes to WILTY, the general rule of thumb is that 90% of Bob Mortimer's and James Acaster's crazy stories are true, David Mitchell is so weird and socially awkward that his are 50/50... but 99% of Lee Mack's are a lie. This was part of his 1% 😂

I think you've got it spot on King Boomer. The contestant has to be truthful re the main point or incident of their story, but seem to be allowed to embellish or even lie about the smaller details. Btw, once you've got one right, I reckon you'll go on a good run of success for correctly guessing truth or lie , to a greater or lesser extent !! 👍👍

This is a prime example of why the American version of this show failed. We have hilariously talented team captains and chairman. Each with their own style of humour. Their camaraderie shines through with all the hilarious ribbing they give each other. This adds another level of humour to the show. From what I have seen of the American version all of this is absent, making for a boring sterile programme. If one of these guys is ever replaced the show would suffer badly.

@24magiccarrot

2 ай бұрын

If one of the captains were to be replaced I don't think it would become as bad as the US version, the big difference is UK comedians know how to rib each other and take it as a joke. The difference is the US comedians need to be the wiseguy in the UK comedians are fine with self-deprecating humor.

@King Boomer I think you're 0-4 because you're considering that everything they say has to be true. Only the original premise has to be true, but they can still tell white lies around the subject for comedy effect or to throw people off. Like he might not have tried to 'restore' the pot with a replica in 30 minutes, but he can add that to the story because it is absurd, and so a liberty is taken with how true the story has to be, but the statement at the beginning is the thing you're ultimately taking a guess on.
