The clever thing about bob is that he can make up stuff like that at a moments notice anyway, very hard to read if he's making it up or not, very unique and intelligent funny man.
@@wotmate1440 think the idea is if you walk with a limp, your head is never in a fixed position and you'll keep ducking the bullets (of course, it would take a highly incompetent marksman to continue with this charade, but nvm) therefore "a snipers nightmare"
I live in Middlesbrough and during our childhood years we did play games similar to this. So Bob is spot on. Brings back happy memories. Love listening to his stories.
@@bobbyfunface4469 yep me too; "garden creeping" and then "hedge diving" usually involved the houses with the thickest privet hedges on the council estate, who ever got the best "bounce back" was the winner, but the hedge often collapsed and was flattened. If you were unlucky there were old fence posts the hedge had been planted around, my mate 'Clanger' got a nail through his chin into the roof of his mouth, it was a 'good laugh tho.'
@@bobbyfunface4469 Are you sure your real name isn't Gary Cheeseman? I did a hedge dive once and the home owner and family were saying goodbye to friends at their front door, so around seven or eight irate adults chased me down the road. Being only 14 I was a lot faster than them ... and I did have a hedge start 😉.
There's a method to his names Jerry Dungaree is Mick Overalls son (is the dad a mechanic?) In another story, Davy Numbers was John Calculator's son (is the dad an accountant or a betting shop owner?) He's hilarious. Brilliant guy
A mate of mine has one leg shorter than the other (old war wound) because of this when he walked it caused his head to wobble, we call him a sniper's nightmare. 😉
And with this one admission, Middlesbrough constabulary could finally find closure to the 1983 - 1984 unsolved "peeking Tom" cases that plagued the town 😂
@@markfox1545 he just leads you on with a somewhat casual story, and he tells it in a pretty casual way. Then he just hit you with a sidewinder that he comes up with on the spot. Like those absurd names. Catching you by surprise.
It didn't matter how weird or crazy Bob's stories are, they're all true. wouldn't it have been great fun to have him as a school mate? I remember as a kid tying cotton on to door knockers in the road, and hiding behind a hedge and knocking the door, and watching the home owners looking around to see who was there.
His name is David Mitchell - Robert Webb is his comedy writing/performing partner in Peep show. I personally cannot stand Lee Mack, his ego is gargantuan
Lee Mack not so much. Hes clearly intimidated by how comfortable Bob is in himself Macks quips are usually detrimental, and based on his own insecure perception of what is "embarrassing"
Kids that age invent strange games. I used to teach at a high school in rural Ontario with à small group of kids who would transfer into the school to begin grade 11 because their Dutch Reform parochial school stopped at the end of grade 10. Naturally, these kids stuck together. Most of the boys smoked à lot. While they had their smoke break between classes they would stand in a tight circle, like kids playing hacky sack, but they were playing à game of their own invention: one kid would take a small log, like you might use on a campfire, and throw it up high above the circle, so it flipped in the air like a juggling club. I asked one of the kids the point of the game. He said if you flinch, you lose, and everybody gets to punch you on the upper arm. I said, oh, so it's like Dutch Roulette. They started calling it that.
“A sniper’s dream” is easily my favourite phrase of the last twenty years.
Sometimes it just pops up in my mind and there is an unbreakable chain of giggling starts
He worked with a guy who had a limp and they called him Sniper's nightmare
😂😂😂😂@@mileswilliams1585
Mine is the guy who worked in a factory called Keth, was called Keith but he lost an eye in an accident!
Some people say I have a small head, including my wife and close friends. But now I feel a certain comfort in knowing I am a sniper’s worst nightmare.
'"Fingerprints on an abandoned handrail" is quite poetic. I might try to slip that into a conversation sometime.
Sure thing fanny
I had, and it worked like a charm
I use it to describe my ex.
@@ll2240 I use theft and shrubbery for mine
"Picking bits of pollen from a mouse's handkerchief" is also good

that was genius
Or the bloke that walks with a limp called sniper's nightmare

I hope that’s all the information you need.....
Probably the funniest natural gifted raconteur around.
Bob, you are a comedy god. Katherine, you take my breath away, blimey.
Bob on Lee's team with Mark Corrigan picking holes in the story is my fave WILTY episodes!
Would I Lie To You.
Bob burns bright
Fingerprints on a abandoned handrail sounds like a new album from Mulligan & O'Hare
Funniest guest ever
One of the funniest guys, period.
Stabba, bagga, Neil overall and Jerry dungaree 😂😂
There's a method to his names Jerry Dungaree is Mick Overalls son (is the dad a mechanic?)

He's hilarious. Brilliant guy
Staver
Gentle Ken.
Hedge hopping
This is the kind of experience the Internet has deprived a lot of children of. Though it also gave us Bob Mortimer UA-cam videos. It's a real toughie.
we used to play that game. we called it donkey in the garden. happy days.
A mate of mine has one leg shorter than the other (old war wound) because of this when he walked it caused his head to wobble, we call him a sniper's nightmare. 😉
THE ROCK listener? 😉
What a national treasure Bob is
“…I hope that’s all the information you’ll need…”🤣🤣🙌🏼🙌🏼
That laugh at 2:12 is so wonderful
Just imagine a night in the pub with BM deliberately talking crap all night.
What an experience.
"Cheeseman was very good at it" was what gave it away for me.

This is comedy gold, goodness me, David Webb is also very funny, as is Lee Mack - outstanding 🤣🤣

Mack is super quick though, even if you don't like his style. Some of his comebacks are lightspeed
I’m now picturing Bob getting Rob, Lee, and David to do this game with him.
Bob's comedy gold🫡🌟👏🏅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Putin and Kim Jong Un are both snipers dreams, unfortunately nobody is brave enough to fulfil their dream.
Snipers Dream… 😂
Hi Col!
