Lee knew he couldn't convince them that he had written a cook book so he went for the joke instead. Both Lee and David have stated that they consider the show to be a parlor game where the main object is to have fun rather than win.
The man on Lee's left is Adrian Edmondson. He was a comedy partner of Rik Mayall. They have some really funny videos up on youtube. But "Rik Mayall & Adrian Edmondson break character" is my favorite. And the song is "Rock around the Clock".
One of the things to remember here is there is a overall meta game being played by the team captians. Because they are on every show, most of their truths have been used up, so they mostly get lies but the trick for them then becomes making up a story that is also funny, to entertain. Lee has that lighting quick wit which really helps him here, he can react and be funny like no one else. But as David once said, this game plays tricks on you. Because in the meta game they both know every now and again the producers will throw out a truth for the captains, and when you've been getting used to Lee or David telling 2 lies per show for 8 shows, your not so sure if on the 9th one his actually lying. Just one of the elements which makes this show so great. Remember they have no idea what is written on the cards until they read them, they don't know if they will even get a truth that day (which goes for all players), so not only are you judging if something is true, you are also judging that persons ability to lie on the spot. This is why Claudia Winkleman is so good at it, she herself is so hard to read because she is batsh!t crazy to start with :)
Nice to hear a previous comment of mine to get a mention today! My favorite bit of this video was when Nick asked Jodi why she said 'lie', and she shrugged casually and said, "Oh, I totally thought the whole thing was fabricated." Nick's expression and facepalm of shame that followed was a joy to watch. An absolutely delightful moment. Hope you're both well.
I noticed you smiled a little when Lee said "P..p..p..pick up a Penguin." Well done, if you recognised this. If you didn't, it comes from an extremely well-known TV advert for Penguin chocolate biscuits from many years ago. Everyone went around saying "P..p..pick up a Penguin" which is why the audience laughed so.
They picked the best team captains for this show. One is at his most hilarious when he investigates the truth. One is at his most hilarious when he lies.
This is from the last round where it's usually Lee or David . We do have quite a few cooking shows and weird celebrity books . Just occasionally however they slip a true story in there , but certainly not on this occasion .
Straightaway, I said it was in line carrots in beef and rice to sauce? Broccoli, yes but carrots take a lot longer to Cook than the rest of the ingredients, you would use
My ex was Vietnamese and her brothers and sisters was all royal family names as they wanted their kids to have british names so meeting Elizabeth and Charles and Richard was weird as they was all clearly Vietnamese 😂
I hope you've watched the Celebrity British Bake Off that stars Lee Mack. Not necessarily react content, just for your own viewing pleasure, he's hilarious in it.
I really think he should bring this out. Obviously mostly for humour value from his part, but have a chef include actual Eastern cuisine recipes, Lee would just write the bits in between the recipes, like a fake Jamie Oliver style. I'd buy it. Similar in style to mathematician Eugenia Cheng's book (which I highly recommend) "How to Bake Pi". Each section alternates between her talking about mathematics and actual baking recipes. (In her case she did actually write the recipes - I don't expect that of Lee Mack.)
A lot change their name so when they fill out forms for things such as permits, licence or even getting into school or universities, a common name will put them on the same footings as everyone else in case of prejudice
I know you like these on e at a timne, but you really should go back and watch the compliations Claudian chicanery and Mortimerian Tales. If need be stop after each one and release then one at a time. They really are some of the shows best stuff.
It’s very normal for Chinese people to have an English name it isn’t them not being proud of their heritage it simply goes along side their given name.
@@annother3350 yeah a lot of asian people in general have an english name and then their actual name. I kinda understand it but i also find it a little bit sad it's considered necessary. That said i've got an irish name a lot of english speakers can barely pronounce so i suppose it's not exactly weird.
I think you’re playing this game wrong. Don’t just weigh up the details about what’s plausible. Weigh up what’s likely for a WILTY writer to be make up. Also weigh up the fact that the team captains are on every episode and all their true stories will have been exhausted in the first couple of seasons.
The majority of Lees are lies.. But the quick witted story telling makes everything worth it
Ironically the majority of Lies are Lees..
Lee knew he couldn't convince them that he had written a cook book so he went for the joke instead. Both Lee and David have stated that they consider the show to be a parlor game where the main object is to have fun rather than win.
they both also do pretty well with it. (Rightfully so) So they win anyway.
Lees mind is so sharp. So quickfire, not only with his jokes but the stories he conjures up. Just brilliant

Yes, a subtle bit o' nonsense 😊
Cheers. I actually didn't get the reference, so good to know. But figured it was something like that.
Lee Mack's stories are almost always lies! They deliberately give him the most ridiculous stories, because he's funny.

@@SteffBrockley I've never thought of it that way, but that's spot on!
Love lee Mack. He is a brilliant comedian and also a very decent human being.
Many of us in the UK don't really care about whether the stories are true or not, preferring to enjoy the comedy for its own sake.
I think they do that in lots of other countries too
@@michaelb2388 That's good!
Rock around the clock, the tune. Play on words thing.
You're overthinking things. Just go along with the madness and enjoy the ride.
'Rock around the clock' by Bill Haley and His Comets... (1950s) is the song you're after.
Arguably,the most famous Rock 'n Roll song from The 1950's was "Rock Around The Clock"....:)
After so many series and years, there are few true stories left
Proud of you jodi!! ❤ nick i sort of agree with your logic. These days any celebrity can lend their name to popularise a product
This is from the last round where it's usually Lee or David . We do have quite a few cooking shows and weird celebrity books . Just occasionally however they slip a true story in there , but certainly not on this occasion .
Straightaway, I said it was in line carrots in beef and rice to sauce? Broccoli, yes but carrots take a lot longer to Cook than the rest of the ingredients, you would use
Yes, but he did start the process 4 weeks early.
Yep Chinese student use English names, but living Hong Kong you also use Chinese names
I love how his beef in oyster sauce with chilli didn't have any chilli in it.
Or beef.
Rock around the clock
Not sure why Steve Jenkins would be untrue. I have a friend who is Chinese named Steve Johnson, but he speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, and English.
Why would he want an American name if hes living in England ? 😂😂😂
I was thinking that, but it's a whole different debate that could go on forever!
Imagine having a normal, sensible name and having "Bucky" be your middle name. Not a nickname. Your middle name. Imagine that, will you? Thank you...
When Jodi said lots of Asians come to America and change their name to an American name........ she really meant to say an English name 🤔😉😂🤣
My ex was Vietnamese and her brothers and sisters was all royal family names as they wanted their kids to have british names so meeting Elizabeth and Charles and Richard was weird as they was all clearly Vietnamese 😂
Nice hat.
I hope you've watched the Celebrity British Bake Off that stars Lee Mack. Not necessarily react content, just for your own viewing pleasure, he's hilarious in it.
lol once Le(Big)Mac starts, it's like a rollercoaster without breaks!

Surely if Steve wanted an American name, he would have chosen Chad or Biff or Zach or Tod...😁
I have 3 woks. One for cooking meals for the dogs, one for cooking meals for humans and one that I use to iron my hunchback dad's shirts.
Rock around the Clock...Wok- chinese frying pan.
Rock around the clock.

The producers of WILTY deliberately give Lee Mack such impossible premises.
Lee is brilliant
Well...the title of the book sounds really hood though.
They just give him such BS, so he can riff
"undeliver"? 🤪🇬🇧
8:28 British names.
English names*

His Chinese name is Lee Lie

poor lee must have run out of real stoies long ago. He's going for making it fun, which is fine.
Do Greg Davies on wilty
He did Celebrity Bake off, made a good, lemon, dart board cake, so confused, imo.
Greg Davies on WILTY please (he is an ex-teacher, you will like 😂) 👍😆🇬🇧
that's not how you make oyster sauce!! Its made with Oyster Mushrooms!!
He lost me totally at two week old oysters.
It’s very normal for Chinese people to have an English name it isn’t them not being proud of their heritage it simply goes along side their given name.
I knew a chinese lady that asked to be called christie. When I asked her why she just said 'you wouldnt be able to pronounce my real name'!
the English name was not unreasonable; the adoption story was utterly ridiculous xD
@@annother3350 yeah a lot of asian people in general have an english name and then their actual name. I kinda understand it but i also find it a little bit sad it's considered necessary. That said i've got an irish name a lot of english speakers can barely pronounce so i suppose it's not exactly weird.
@@purplefood1 I bet a lot of Asians can barely pronounce it too!
@@annother3350 it's not really come up all that much honestly
There's a bit of this missing

English name's not American name's
English name's you mean...there's no such language as American...
