Agreed. Brilliant combo, would ofc prefer them to do less television friendly skits but together they're good. Chris is totally understated I feel, would love to see... Listen to him live.
Chris' deadpan style of delivery cracks me up every time & the chemistry between them is brilliant. hats off to Lee - playing the straight man is much more difficult that it looks, but he does it superbly. Very reminiscent of Morecombe & Wise at their best.
That's because his brain works on average five times as fast as ours do. He actually has to slow it down so we can understand him, which makes the timing easy.
Comic timing you mean. There are plenty of jazz drummers can do the timing bit. Actually, Mel Brooks states that his time as a jazz drummer helped him greatly in his comic timing.
I laughed a lot. The best part for me is that it is an old, old trope, yet they make it work so well because they are both such excellent performers. A bit like Blackadder used to be.
The best thing is that off-stage, Chris is a solid guy too. I worked front of house on one of his tour preview shows this spring - alongside 30 others - and he was determined to thank and say goodbye to us volunteers before he left. Other stars couldn't care less or are only there for the totty, but he's a true, humble gent and I'd never believe a single bad word said against him. Just class.
I would follow Chris anywhere and if I'm quiet enough he won't even mind. I really want to see more of him... So does he for that matter. The guy is a legend.
This guy is a role model. The fact that he lost his sight as an adult rather than being born blind and has this level of humour about it is something to admire. I personally think id give up if that happened to me. Wish i could be as strong as him.
I watch these award ceremonies, and I always find the nominations introductions excruciating😫 Lee Mack and Chris were the best and the funniest ever.🤣😂
@@neilchurchill6494 Chris: If driving at that speed I would never known when to stop. Lee: You, were, we never did, which is why we never made any money.
So many people reading out the nominations and presenting the awards at shows like this try and be funny and aren't. In fact most are embarrassing. However, this is extremely original and really funny. Well done Lee and Chris.
And it was very commen when? I'd posit the idea that it's much more common now with the expansion of people with access to global media, I'm sure you can can give me facts that I'm wrong.
“Let’s take a look” is my line?
I almost died laughing. These two need to team up on a show somewhere, their comedy timing is fantastic
My Comment above applies to you
They've been on wilty a few times together, obviously Lee as a permanent, & in sure on qi
Agreed. Brilliant combo, would ofc prefer them to do less television friendly skits but together they're good. Chris is totally understated I feel, would love to see... Listen to him live.
They've been doing English panel shows for years mate. They're a staple of English culture at this point.
christmas eve movie coming apparently

& he's not usual the straight man
Just rewatched it & I could hear morcambe & wise saying the lines with them
There is no one on earth with better timing than Lee.
That's because his brain works on average five times as fast as ours do. He actually has to slow it down so we can understand him, which makes the timing easy.
@@tarmaque Did he tell you that?? lol

Or a faster comedy brain.
@@aerialarboreal9005 We brushed elbows briefly going down a hall once. It was all the time he needed to explain the process in detail.

"Everything old is new again."
What’s the old trope?
@@ArgenYargenhaving someone say the lines to you when you’re blind, i think
I'm back 2 years later and this still makes me laugh. Absolute genius

I saw Chris a couple of weeks ago on his tour. Such a great comedian and storyteller.
A true role model
Is totty slang for money?
@@last808 Not at all - casual female companions, if you get my meaning.
Saw him in Belfast recently. He took the time at the end to come out and chat to anyone who wanted to say hello and pose for photos. Nice bloke.
This was comedy gold. Two great comedians at their very best.
This is the ultimate pick me up if you’re feeling a tad miserable. These two are both brilliant and together they are stratospheric.
This makes me cry laughing, it's so well done and completely lacking in malice.
It's just perfect.
two of the liveliest performers today on stage together! whoever had this idea deserves a pat on back
or a smack on head.
Just read an interview with Chris about this very thing. He and Lee Mack devised it themselves.
@@decodolly1535
Yes & Chris said they thought it up after "too many cups of coffee" !!
Chris’s first time on WILTY is still legendary
Contrary to popular belief, deaf people do make a noise
@@ramanathan1983 😂😂
As an American, what’s WILTY
@@ChunkyJo Would I Lie To You, it's British panel show.
Have a link to a clip?
I would follow Chris anywhere and if I'm quiet enough he won't even mind. I really want to see more of him... So does he for that matter. The guy is a legend.
😂😂
He's on tour at the minute, I've just booked tickets
@@Ulleskelf better than ticking buckets I suppose 😉
If youre quiet enough, not only will he not mind, he won't even know!
Creepy ass stalker
Oh, perfect, wonderful, best giggle I've had today...
Brilliant comic timing from both - so many award show jokes fall flat - but both these guys are such natural comics

"Serious? Lets take a look is my line?"
What a great reply and well worth the crowd's applause.
absolutely love Chris McCausland, one of my favourite comedians
Love Lee Mack. Quickest brain in the universe.
He's great, but equally great was Sean Lock.
@@paulbradford8240 Sure we can all mention corpses who were quick in their time. He's not quick now.
@@AndrewLakeUK Yea, try again.
@@AndrewLakeUK He's fast asleep.
@@michaelocyoung As you will be one day..
I watch these award ceremonies, and I always find the nominations introductions excruciating😫 Lee Mack and Chris were the best and the funniest ever.🤣😂
Two brilliant comedians performing superbly. Excellent.
the collabe i never realized i really needed in my life XD that was great !
You should watch Chris' appearances on WILTY
I LOVE Lee Mack, and Chris is hysterical!!!!
Comedy talent at it's best, humour, sarcasm and perfect timing.
Chris is that rare comedian who makes me laugh out loud every time he shows up
Try being blind and listening to his comedy, it's even funnier to me because I can relate to pretty much all of it
This was really well done, hats off to Lee and Chris. Chris McCausland has my utmost respect.
I’ve got a ticket to see Chris perform, two weeks next Saturday. Looking forward to it.
Ex sight-ing prospect, feeling it
He isn't
@@SphynxsShadow beat me to it 😂😂😂
“See”.
What was it like?
Even though his world is dark, he brings light into ours. I think he's great on 8 out of 10 :)
Eugh Cringe
@@AndrewLakeUKyes it’s a bit cheesy but it’s the truth is it not?
These 2 are brilliant together & this was hilarious 🤣
This is so funny. Everything about it brought a smile to my face. Whoever put these two together deserves a massive pat on the back.
Excellent timing from both and i enjoyed it a lot. A Morecambe and Wise skit for the 21st century.
I was chatting to Chris this morning, that is exactly what they were going for. 2 Ronnie's / Morecambe and Wise.
I was thinking the same thing 😁.
@@neilchurchill6494
Chris: If driving at that speed I would never known when to stop.

This is marvellous. Their little double act reminds me of Morecambe and Wise, in a very good way :)
They should get an award for this!
My two favorite comedians!
Absolutely BRILLIANT! Future classic!
Amazing that. Chris Mccausland is hilarious, the 2 of them together was gold
Chris is a LEGEND.
Finally something on tv left me in hysterics !🤣😂 well on UA-cam anyway
The comedy duo we never knew we needed
Ant and Dec should move over. There’s a new iconic duo in town! 😂👏👏👏
I've got to stop watching these late at night!! I keep waking my people up laughing 🤣🤣 Epic!!
This was hilarious...best part of the whole evening
This is class😂 comedy at its finest.
Who thought it was a good idea to put these two together? Whoever it was is a flippin’ genius!
This reminded me of the old comedy performance my father always loved xx
This has the best Abbot and Costello energy. Absolutely brilliant
So funny , definitely has the makings of a new comedy series with these two as the stars ⭐️ 😂
This is some Two Ronnies / Morecambe & Wise level genius right here. One of the funniest things I've seen for a while.
this is absolute brilliant love these two theyre the best
This is so funny. Chris and Lee are like a Comedy duo like Mitchell & Webb. Chris also times it absolutely pefectly. So funny!
Well done two great chucklers!
😂😂😂 Love it. Absolutely love it. Quality 😂
a man that can jest about his actual situation, wow how refreshing
Best moment of the entire show 🤣
Brilliant timing !
That rare commodity nowadays is humour delivered by two masters 👏
And it was very commen when? I'd posit the idea that it's much more common now with the expansion of people with access to global media, I'm sure you can can give me facts that I'm wrong.
Proper funny humour where we all see it is us having a bloody laugh 💯 thank you
Absolutely love these two.
Absolutely brilliant!! 😂
Genuinely a funny duo. The comic timing us impeccable.
Absolutely brilliant xx
First time ever seeing these two and am jealous I haven't before.
Y'all are 🔥!
You need to watch Would I Lie To You. Lee is a captain and Chris has been a guest a couple times.
@@notme222
I'm balancing these with the US news today. They're helping for sure.
Lovely guy
Chris is very, very funny. Together they're a good combo they should stick together long term.
comedy genius love these 2
This is brilliant 😂, this right here is comedy,❤
Great pairing those two who ever thought of it well done
I enjoyed this, great way to start my morning 🌄 😀
What a double act! Brilliant
Id of watched the show just to see these two 😂😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
“Let’s take a look” are they taking the piss 😂
...and our new comedy duo has been found 😂😂
Lee is a goat and Chris, never seem him before but hes awesome , soo funny
If it's any consolation, Chris hasn't seen himself before either.
@@youngdolo8 lol
Lee Mack is the GOAT!
Lee’s got to write a part for him in not going out .
Luv luv luv these dudes from reruns of Qi.....✌️🇺🇸
QI? You mean you haven't seen WILTY?
Yes you must check out Would I lie to you!!
Saw Chris McCausland's stand up show at the weekend. He is one talented comedian.
CLASSIC!!! Love them both
This is Morecambe and Wise level stuff! Brilliant!
Hilarious! Like most Liverpudlians and Lancashire guys both these are excellent comedians. Lee Mack has been a favourite of mine for years now.
Mel’s laugh 😂 Love her!
Comedy timing is perfect!
THIS is how you laugh about, instead of laughing at.
Thanks. I needed this
Lee Mack definitely wrote this😂 fantastic comedy!
both I guess !
They wrote it together. And before hand they were a little nervous about how it would go down, and if it would be received well
@@L-po8rx Yes,they rehearsed at Lee's house.
Very good. Reminded me of the old Fozzie Bear and Kermit The Frog "Good grief the comedian's a bear!" gag.
That was well written and well performed.
I used to not like him very much, but Lee Mack has grown on me over the years. And Chris McCausland uses my favorite comedic style, dry/deadpan humor.
Brilliant !!
Dynamic Duo 😂😂😂
Best comedy duo since Laurel and Hardy
Nice tick.
So funny, cant wait to see there crimbo film soon, 2024.
Genius 👏 I laughed as much as when Chris described the way he eats an apple on would I lie to you 🍎 🤣
I like how he is also holding the card. Lol.
Chris and Lee Flegends
Fuhilariouskin
😄😁😀
Just watching the episode where Chris is in not going out. Great duo!
Brilliantly inclusive
They are great :) well done guys
This should have been at the Oscars
Love yer chris
And lee
