‘A snipers dream, they used to call him’ is one of the funniest lines in the history of television. Every time I hear him say it I am in a fit of laughter. Oh my good god. God bless Bob Mortimer.
Same. I’m sitting in a room with headphones on shaking silently with tears rolling down my cheeks lol. I’ve listened to that part three times now and each time it still puts me into one of those uncontrollable fits that ends in tears
It’s the way everyone is in tears of laughter at David Mitchell’s despair when it’s revealed that of course it’s a lie that Chris Rea put an egg in his bath 😂
There was one case that Sherlock Holmes could never solve: it involved a man found dead on the kitchen floor next to a gaming chair, a curved indian instrument and a little orange spoon.
Very clear that Lee Mack absolutely loves Bob, he’s normally the ones making everyone laugh but when Bob is there he takes the limelight and Lee just sits back and laughs.
Anyone noticed that Mortimer is never on David's team? It's like the producers just looked at Bob and thought: "Yup, a natural counter to David Mitchell."
Lee's speed on "Sgt. By-the-way" will never cease to amaze me. I love how there's always a point in every insane, wonderful Bob story, where he's more or less just telling it to Lee.
I knew a guy in work called Steve Overall. It seems names like that, and Bytheway, are more common in the North of England and those in the South think they're made up.
@@Eva-mp7xg i think in the era surnames were developing it made more sense. Some lived at the end of a footpath, some by the stream or river, and some by the way or lane. One of the adorable aspects of his stories is the wonderful names.
Bob is such a whimsical story teller that he gaslights sensible people into thinking that what’s obviously fabricated is in fact the stone cold truth. He is truly a gifted man.
His real genius lies in his ability to say true things in the most absurdly embellished ways that your brain starts melting because your sanity simply cannot keep up. 😂
Typical Bob.... a master of the mundane ridiculous..!! He's a genius. Watch him with Paul Whitehouse on their post-heart attack, fishing shows too; such a funny three series...Bob & Paul together are wonderful...!! :-)
Were it his first appearance I’m sure that would have drawn a lot of attention but they clearly know by now that the unlikeliest of details do nothing to the plausibility of his insane stories
Bob is hugely intelligent - running a bath and popping an egg it works because its 'just so Chris'. He develops Chris Rea as a really whacky character who's also capable of popping a gold doilie in the post for you.
All comedians do. Watch the Buzzcocks where Bob does the host role. The way the other comedians are hanging on his words and reacting and laughing shows it. He’s completely and utterly up on a level beyond respect for most of them. Unless your name is fucking Russell.
I love when Bob's on, not only because the surreal edge to his humour works so (suprisingly) well on this show, but because everyone seems to have so much fun
I was unquenchably curious about this, so I ran some hot and cold water in my sink until it was about the temperature I would take a bath in, and cracked in an egg (I actually used David's measure of 39 degrees C). Here are my findings: The egg white doesn't immediately solidify, but it does very slowly solidify, and you end up with little strings that look an awful lot like spiderwebs floating around in the water. They aren't very solid, so they could easily be broken up by just moving around in the bath as normal, and seem to me like they would actually dissipate into the bath, although it wouldn't be a clean dissolve, just very small bits of white. As for the yolk, that stayed completely raw, and didn't cook at all.
I admire your dedication to science! I was also curious but I simply googled the average body temperature of chickens and since they have an average body temperature of around 40 degrees and don't lay hard boiled eggs, I assumed the temperature needed to whiten the albumen was considerably higher which was good enough for me. I'm more interested if egg yolk actually makes good hair conditioner! :-)
@@tompope6522 Eggs are a common ingredient for people who do the no-shampoo method of hair care! I haven't done it myself, but I think my mother has in the past. Whether it's the white or the yolk or both combined I'm not certain but there are resources out there. (Stale beer is also another great thing to rinse your hair with if you want to improve its sheen.)
I think that stories he said were a lie actually happened. Nothing’s impossible if you’re Bob Mortimer

I love that repeated of visits from Bob and the ridiculous incredibly tall tales which have proven to be true have led the completely rational David to state that he believes Bob cracks an egg into his bath. You couldn't write it.
19:30 OF COURSE! OF COURSE IT'S IT'S A LIE! HE SAID CHRIS REA PUT EGG IN HIS BATH! OF COURSE IT'S A LIE. IT'S OBVIOUSLY A LIE! WHO COULD POSSIBLY BELIEVE THAT!
He probably needed the right kind of soil, different regions even in a small area have different types of nutrients in their soil composition which affects what grows best. You can check your area with soil samples but getting wet vs dry sold is still a bit weird.
The best bit is how many of his more believable stories are false. It's much more likely that someone would use a flute to get a spider out of a shoe than that they moonlighted as a barber in a Spanish campground, paid in egg sandwiches

Stumbled on this show on some British channel over here in Sweden. Thought is was great. But I never knew how great until I saw Bob Mortimer on it. Geez, that man is pure gold! "Sniper's Dream" might be the best nickname in all of history.
Imagine sitting on a pane show with Bob, Greg Davies, Lee and David honorable mention(s) Bill Bailey and Rhod Gilbert (Det var samma för mig, råkade bara klicka på något klipp en dag, och hur glad jag är för det ;)
Dentistry costs being what they are, this is a really plausible option! But Bob did his own drilling without anesthetic???! There is no way you can tolerate a drilling without it wtf o.O
My friend who is a dental asst, confirmed this. She wondered how on earth I knew that thinking I was in in some top secret training. I told her, after the mixing equations, that I heard it from Bob Mortimer. She was like 😮
To go from brewing beer to unelected Chinese officials in Bolton. The mind of Bob is the most surreal mind but leads to some of the funniest moments on TV.
Probably the best random opening line of ANY story ever conceived, uttered by Bob Mortimer: "About 2 years ago, I was in a field, collecting some mud to go and bury at home in my garden". It sounds so much like a lie... how can this possibly be factually accurate? ... The life this man has lived I would love to read a daily journal about. The Mortimer Chronicles.
@@smokeandkippers I read through that in maybe three days, after receiving it as a gift! It's a really good read with some ("unusually", for Bob) genuine and heart-felt thoughts in there, can only recommend!
Hey folks, here's the FAB Bob Mortimer, who's on top form in a super filmed interview that I found (by Richard Herring) ua-cam.com/video/PwyUf0OlBsM/v-deo.html Enjoy, all ye Bob fans! It's a great watch! :D (He comes on at about 9 minutes in) :)
I completely lost it @6:56, hahaha! David fully realises what he’s about to admit, knows that’s slowly being dragged down to the realm of insanity by Bob’s barely plausible stories, and takes that leap of faith with the least amount of confidence possible. His second “I think it’s true!” - pained and high-pitched - was even better than the first 😂 😂 😂
Bob might be the funniest man to have ever lived. When you get David Mitchell bowing his head in embarrassment you have accomplished the impossible. Wonderful compilation.
I only discovered this show a few months ago (American fan of David Mitchell) and wasn't familiar with Bob Mortimer, but the way he spins a yarn is pure comic gold. I would love to sit down with him over a pint of Not Now Madam!
0:02 - Bob's unique sneeze. 0:15 - For the past fifteen years, I have performed my own dentistry. 7:13 - Bob's cheeky dig at Debbie McGee. 7:45 - This is my friend, Jonathan, and I have brewed three award-winning beers with him. 13:59 - Following advice from Chris Rhea, I always crack an egg into my bath. 20:14 - Bob and his wonderful world of names.

"David, *please* don't base it on the albumen whitening" Kills me every single time! Knowing that it's a lie makes it even funnier. Then, "Well what should I base it on, Bob?" Bahahahaaa! David cracked more than the bath egg!

The only man to truly make Lee laugh that hard and be so amazed at his stories.
David's utter mental breakdown after the egg story is just the best
Yup, it's amazing how Bob's previous stories made it at least.... plausible. God bless that madman.
From what Bob said, I wish they'd get Chris Rea on...
What should i base it on Bob?
So funny
That whole episode is just brilliant. The other guests as well, everyone is just in tears of laughter for most of the show.
Bob is a delight. He's right up there with golden retrievers and sunshine

I watched that bit as I read your comment lol
😂
Bob has the most ridiculous, unbelievable stories which were "True". No wonder David is defeated, he just cannot say if Bob is lying or not.
He looked on the verge of an existential crisis.... then he had one.
I was thinking the same thing in the same tone along with David.
"one of them's called something and the other one likewise is named as well" is just so beautifully wordy.
So many words to give you absolutely no information
That's why he was a solicitor!
So British 🤣🤣
"I was out in the field collecting mud" this just seems like such a Bob thing to do.
Somehow Bob is _more_ outlandish of a human being than a peasant in a Monty Python sketch
to bury in his garden. the bloke is comedic genius!

“Would you like to brew some beer?” “Rather urgently.” I cannot.

It's like they knew Bob's illogical stories would short circuit the logical thinking in David's mind
Of course there is thought behind the program
It seems like Bob and Lee are good pals. Maybe Lee knows most of his stories already so could easily tell what's a lie and what's not.
David just basically repeats what Bob says and feeds off his laughs.
I think they're just trying to use Bob to slowly drive David insane

If it helps at all, it’s so you can get fertile soil to grow your own veg etc. Garden soil can sometimes be a less quality.

For some reason I absolutely love this bit, it's not really jokey at all and just an explanation of local politics but it completely cracks me up.
It is a 'funny line', Bob is the King of unexpected absurdity. Being hilarious without writing an actual joke is a true comic genius 😍
One of my favourite tv lines ever for some reason. I find it hysterical
I think I’ve watched the Bob montages at least 25 times, but the Dentistry and Chris Rea stories never fail to make me weep with laughter. 😂
Stumbled on this show on some British channel over here in Sweden. Thought is was great. But I never knew how great until I saw Bob Mortimer on it. Geez, that man is pure gold! "Sniper's Dream" might be the best nickname in all of history.
Daniel, I like that one too, along with the guy who didn't go out very often.
His nickname was "Pilot Light"
Glad you like it dude and it translates well to sweden
Imagine sitting on a pane show with Bob, Greg Davies, Lee and David honorable mention(s) Bill Bailey and Rhod Gilbert
(Det var samma för mig, råkade bara klicka på något klipp en dag, och hur glad jag är för det ;)
Svts version suger så hårt. De borde köpa in den här serien!
I love the fact that there’s a random Swedish person that loves bob
Once you have Fuji 9, you are a dentist
The best part of all of this is that if you look up Fuji 9 it's actually real. Its what he uses.
@@1650bubba well no shit, he was telling the truth.
Dentistry costs being what they are, this is a really plausible option! But Bob did his own drilling without anesthetic???! There is no way you can tolerate a drilling without it wtf o.O
@@1650bubbaExcept Fuji IX has a green spoon, not an orange one like he said :D
Here you all are,
out of curiosity I found out a pic of the legendary *Fuji IX* :)

The addition of ‘A couple of weeks later he sent me a gold doily’ is what makes this man a genius.
'It's just so Chris'
Perfect piece of misdirection
@@jamesdarby5515 Strange thing is, according to his autobiography the doily and recording the FA cup song are 100% true!
I always love it when a story starts falling apart (ie Bob with the egg) and Lee defects to David's team and starts challenging his own partner.
"Did they see the funny side?"
*"No, she wasn't facing them."* SAVAGE
such a brilliant comment that's so underrated 🤣
It's up there with Jack Dee to Gabby Roslin on wilty. That's the greatest
@@tonyjamesred2 And the cruellest. Poor Gabby.
The best part about that was how surprised he was himself that he'd said it!
Hilarious line. What does Bob say after that line?
I worked at a dental hospital and once he mentioned Fuji I knew he was telling the truth.
I still thought he was just namedropping something he'd heard about until he mentioned the little orange spoon.
23.99 for small pack on ebay. You're welcome
That's when I thought it was a lie
You missed the perfect opportunity for a pun!! I knew he was telling the tooth
My friend who is a dental asst, confirmed this. She wondered how on earth I knew that thinking I was in in some top secret training.
I told her, after the mixing equations, that I heard it from Bob Mortimer. She was like 😮
To go from brewing beer to unelected Chinese officials in Bolton. The mind of Bob is the most surreal mind but leads to some of the funniest moments on TV.
It was just because Lee asked him what an alderman is. Bob actually gave a rather concise description.
Kiss the Alderman beer is currently rated 3.8 out of 5 stars.
J-Keg was not happy with being called a hipster 🙊😂😂
Typical hipster response to being called a hipster.
Truth
@@H0n3yMonstah Does anyone like to be called something despised by society?
@@Gnossiene369 He's the one rocking a man bun! :)
@Peter Phillips Nah, there's no such thing as society, a Tory said so.
Bob Mortimer is just such a ray of positivity. You know when he’s in the room everyone will be having a good time.
The look of confusion on everyone's face when Bob said "my dentist" will always make me laugh.
I would absolutely kill for a Bob Mortimer Autobiography. Writen by the man himself, naturally.
Isn't that... literally the definition of an autobiography?
@@James_Anderson_ some autobiographies are written by or with the help of a ghost writer. I just want Bob to write stories of his past exploits.
I love him dearly
@@dellzincht we call that a "biography"
@@wodm no, alot of people write "autobiographies" but use ghost writers. It's actually super common
The man is a national treasure
Play a record!
From whatever planet he came from.
If we ever get Bob and Karl on the show together I think the universe might implode.
@@lukehope4484 Many would prefer the term "National Tragedy ".Wherever would they be without canned laughter?.
@@StealthyLiving I came here to comment on that very fact! We need a travel show with Bob and Karl.
"Yes I would, rather urgently" might very well be the greatest line ever uttered in all of human history.
Anyone else watched this every week for the past three years and still laugh all the way through?
Me! Cheers me up no end!
Almost every week. And whenever I'm low or have had an awful, horrible day.
Bob is only guest that has to defend his story not only against the other team but also his own team, and he always gets the point 😂
Probably the best random opening line of ANY story ever conceived, uttered by Bob Mortimer:
"About 2 years ago, I was in a field, collecting some mud to go and bury at home in my garden".
It sounds so much like a lie... how can this possibly be factually accurate? ... The life this man has lived I would love to read a daily journal about.
The Mortimer Chronicles.
His autobiography “And away” is available now. Well worth a read if you like Bob.
@@smokeandkippers I read through that in maybe three days, after receiving it as a gift! It's a really good read with some ("unusually", for Bob) genuine and heart-felt thoughts in there, can only recommend!
Starts at 9:26 for anyone wondering (like I was)
Neil Overall, Jerry Dungaree’s son ... always puts a smile on my face.
Bob is the cure to depression
Yet as sufferred from Depression himself.Ironic.
Hey folks, here's the FAB Bob Mortimer, who's on top form in a super filmed interview that I found (by Richard Herring)
ua-cam.com/video/PwyUf0OlBsM/v-deo.html Enjoy, all ye Bob fans! It's a great watch! :D (He comes on at about 9 minutes in) :)
@@Isleofskye Most comics do.
I agree , he has me in stitches within a minute . He's a national treasure
@Mitchell Thomas thank you for that wonderful article
I completely lost it @6:56, hahaha! David fully realises what he’s about to admit, knows that’s slowly being dragged down to the realm of insanity by Bob’s barely plausible stories, and takes that leap of faith with the least amount of confidence possible. His second “I think it’s true!” - pained and high-pitched - was even better than the first 😂 😂 😂
19:40. David having a legit mental break down due to Bob's story is one of the funniest things ever 🤣🤣🤣 Bob genuinely broke him 🤣🤣🤣
Bob might be the funniest man to have ever lived. When you get David Mitchell bowing his head in embarrassment you have accomplished the impossible. Wonderful compilation.
I'm not even British but Bob Mortimer is a national treasure.
Correct
a global treasure
Hes an international treasure
And wed have a lot of dentists!
And wed have a lot of dentists!
John Caramel and I thank you for this video. God bless.
iLoveLamp with Ron Waffle Ron waffle lol
I adore Bob Mortimer....really. I only have to look at him and I begin to laugh uncontrollably. He’s the funniest man alive.
The second he says "for the past fifteen yuuuurs..." My mood brightens immensely.
They should really put a little 'BM' next to the title on the tv guide thing so you know just when its absolutely necessary to tune in
also a HW. Henning Wehn holds a strong second place
With Rhod Gilbert a close third
@@brendon7986 a lot of people hates on Henning but I think he's brilliant.
He'd love that. Bowel movement.
@@GeonQuuin think he is brilliant too x
I only discovered this show a few months ago (American fan of David Mitchell) and wasn't familiar with Bob Mortimer, but the way he spins a yarn is pure comic gold. I would love to sit down with him over a pint of Not Now Madam!
Sadly only "Kiss The Alderman" was a genuine beer they brewed.
Look up shooting stars for more Bob on top form
That's great to hear! Brit humour doesn't always cross the Atlantic that well, so it's great to know that Bob hits the mark with our American cousins.
@@dellzincht Not true - alphastatebeer.com/bob-mortimer-mixed-case/
Bob’s stories are part of the nation’s cultural assets. I come back to them like songs, or family photos
Whenever I feel stressed or sad Bob Mortimer never fails to make me laugh. I love him to bits. He is guest of honour at my fantasy dinner party.
If all humans were like Bob - the world would be a better place.
Like Bob and Greg Davies
It would be heaven,mate.
There be an unnerving abundance of cheap meats available everywhere
A far more interesting place!
But there’d a huge shortage of Pearson’s Brass Hand Oil....
Even the turn to the audience for validation of the leather-maker's drill - genius!
0:02 - Bob's unique sneeze.
0:15 - For the past fifteen years, I have performed my own dentistry.
7:13 - Bob's cheeky dig at Debbie McGee.
7:45 - This is my friend, Jonathan, and I have brewed three award-winning beers with him.
13:59 - Following advice from Chris Rhea, I always crack an egg into my bath.
20:14 - Bob and his wonderful world of names.
Bless you child👍
You’re doing the Lord’s work.
César Rodríguez Bob Mortimer is our one true lord and savior.
Chris Rea not Chris Rhea.
@@kjamison5951 That's his stage name. His real name is "Keith Emu"
Anyone else here who's been on the edge of a mental breakdown for at least half a year and has seen this video about every other week? Or is that just me?
Cas Made thought it was just me lol
Me too 🙋♂️
Nah you're not alone in that one
I can't tell you how many times I watch these compilations
Aaaah nice, so this is where my fellow freaks are gathering. Greetings to you all and may you travel safely through another night.
PS: If you haven't seen it, Bill Bailey has some stuff that might be right down your alley.
I’ve watched this so many times but the leather makers drill gets me every time 😆
I can't let pass how thoroughly Lee Mack loses his marbles when Bob Mortimer is on the show.
"David, *please* don't base it on the albumen whitening" Kills me every single time! Knowing that it's a lie makes it even funnier. Then, "Well what should I base it on, Bob?" Bahahahaaa! David cracked more than the bath egg!
"I've popped an egg in there for ya" 😉
6:18 out of hundreds of stories he has heard on the show, David remembers all of bob's stories 😂
19:39 one of my top 3 episodes lol
I have watched this LITERALLY 89 times by now. It never gets old. ❤️🤣
Did you say 89 times or 8 to 9 limes?
@@hippocritic89. It's in the 100s now 😅
"No, she wasn't facing them". Bob for president.
Can you explain this joke?
@@rakshitsharma6953 they did not find it funny because she wasn't facing them. It implies it would be funny if she was facing them. Hence saying her face "looks funny", or people would laugh seeing her face.
@@polemaxn0ob196 you sure? I thought that too but I saw a few comments saying that it had something to do with her ass
Funny sounds like ‘fanny’ which is a term used to describe a lady’s front bottom
The Chris Rea story is the pinnacle of this show
please dont base it on that
I love how even Lee took a minute to respond to 'no, she wasn't facing them'.
Lucy Porter's reactions to everyone else's jokes, while coming up with a few herself is just priceless. She seemed to be just loving it.
Any time I need cheering up, I can always count on Bob Mortimer Compilations. Thank you!
David Mitchell AUDIBLY bracing himself and spitting out “I think it’s true” because Bob’s ridiculous stories are always true and IT WAS TRUE 😂😂😂😂
bob mortimer has to be the funniest and most endearing person on the planet??!!! just watch him clap his hands together when he laughs. i wish he had a nightly show!
"I was in a field, Dion... collecting some mud to go'n bury at home in my garden." Haha so random.
Bob is precious. He really makes me so happy in a world that is dreadful. Thanks, WILTY and Bob. I really enjoy all of the people on the show, but Bob is special. ❤
I love how barely any questions at all are asked during Bob's turn, everyone just listens
I seriously admire Bob how he fully ownes his lie saying "I've done it for twenty years!!!"
