I'm convinced Bob has ended up on Earth after accidentally stepping through from another dimension. I want to worship him, he is too precious for this world...
I've sinned again!
Nanoo, nanoo!
The Church of the SubGenius (look it up) is organised around an entity called "Bob". Bob Mortimer is surely an avatar, or maybe an archangel, manifesting this. He's certainly suitably bizarre from our skewed Probability-A point of view.
Bob does a fishing programme with another comedian called Paul Whitehouse and it's just the 2 of them fishing and telling funny stories. Brilliant show
Since Neil says he'd love to listen to Bob talk he should watch this.
I'll definitely have to track it down. Thanks Meron!
@@NeilTalks You seriously have to watch it. It's a gentle show but so addictive watching two long time friends just talking shit for 30 mins. It shouldn't really work and yet it just does. It's called Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing.
When my elderly parents came to stay, they watched all three series’ in one hit. They absolutely loved Bob Mortimer. Paul Whitehouse is hilarious too. It’s a joy to watch.
Gone Fishing is a wonderful program. Beautiful to watch, funny and emotional. The last episode had me filling up.
I love the part of Bob’s home dentistry story, where he says “I have a leather maker’s drill, yeah” as he nods at the audience, as if it’s something we can all relate to. Oh, of course, I wouldn’t attempt to drill my own teeth, I always go for a leather maker’s drill. You’d have to be mad to use some other kind of drill. 😂
Bob's the kinda guy you could happily listen to in a pub, for literally hours and hours. And of course partake in a few a your favourite libations at the same time. This man has squeezed so much into his life, he makes me feel like I've done nothing in mine. Cheers for the great stories Bob. 🍺
He comes across as such a lovely bloke, I've being laughing at Bob Mortimer since watching Reeves and Mortimer on the telly
And this is the reason you were told to watch the Bob Mortimer episodes in order. David spoils a whole bunch of earlier stories in this one.
I'm so very glad I was warned!
You're right about OAP being old age pensioners. We are also affectionately known as coffin dodgers and Twirlies. Twirlies because we have bus passes that allow us free travel but not before 9.30am so if the bus pulls up before then we say "Am I too early"
David's wife : Victoria Coren Mitchell is the daughter of The Late Alan Coren who was editor of Britain's leading satirical magazine and brilliant wit.
She has inherited his wit and intelligence and hosts "Only Connect" which is The U.K'S cleverest game show. She genuinely knows many of the very complex answers. She is also a brilliant Poker player having won a Million Dollar Las Vegas Open Tournament. They are a formidable pair :)
Victoria has been on two episodes, one before she and David got married and one after. They're both great episodes, and with two people who know each other so well on the same team, the format gets quite interesting.
Some of the interactions between them two and Lee in that post marriage episode are hilarious
I'll be reacting to both of them! I'm interested in learning a bit more about Victoria before she appears on series 12 of Taskmaster.
@@NeilTalks Frighteningly intelligent. Daughter of Alan Coren, who was a very witty TV personality (very much like David in that respect). Ex-poker champion and host of very difficult TV quiz Only Connect (like a cryptic University Challenge)
@@CommissionerSleer Yeah, Victoria is both highly intelligent, as well as quick witted and game for a laugh. Her and David are a perfect match, and as already mentioned there post marriage episode is great.
I should also mention she has been on many episodes of QI as well.
In the UK we have dentists registered with the NHS and private dentists as dental care is not free at the point of access in the UK. The NHS registered dentists have 3 fixed bands of payments but the top band which covers complex treatments like dentures, bridges and crowns is still nearly £300 and a private dentist would be even more expensive. So I suppose the DIY method is the only option! Glad you found it funny, it is one of my favourite episodes :D
When Bob's in the room there are no other comedians
"that mans been in coooold rivers."
bob is my spirit animal.
Hey Neil, Bob Mortimer does have an upcoming autobiography called "And Away..."
I've seen that pop up in my twitter feed. I may just have to check it out...
I love that this episode gives a perfect example of the hilarious passive-aggressive relationship between David and Lee. You only need that sequence about the locksmith to get their relationship.
They really do have awesome chemistry/hostility. It's no wonder the show's been a success for 14+ series.
They also play on the Northerners versus Southerners thing, whippets and flat caps etc.
I don't think the Fuji IX story will ever be beaten.
I adore Bob he is hands down the best quest on the show, he is so funny without trying and when he makes up peoples names I can't cope 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another show i think you would love is a personal favourite of mine, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled. Obviously you know Alan, each episode he sits around a table with 4 guests, mostly comedians, they have drinks, each discusses funny events from their past. At the end of each episode they give that show a title based on something that was discussed. Bob has appeared a few times on that, as you can imagine he shared more great memories. One episode was almost like a QI reunion, obviously hosted by Alan had Stephen and Sandy among the guests.
I remember seeing this when it went out! one of the funniest stories I've heard on here.
Bob is one of the best comics EVER. You should look at some Shooting Stars and The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer
I suggest Shooting Stars 1st as the silliness is a little more grounded in the format. I think pure Reeves and Mortimer will make more sense after exposure to Shooting Stars. Also, wrt Shooting Stars, I recommend doing full episodes and start at season 1. There are a lot on-running and evolving gags through the series that will make a lot less sense for anyone jumping in at series 5 or 6.
My Rose has left me... I'm in a mood...
@@ajivins1 you wouldn't let it lie!
"Bob does his own dentistry, the guy is insane"
It took this long for you to realise? lol but on a more serious note search "Reeves and Mortimer" or "Shooting Stars" to see more of Bob with his long term comedy partner Vic Reeves... They're both in their own little world where the surreal becomes real in front of your eyes.
Susie Dent is not a comedian, but has been required to act like one often enough (on Cats Does Countdown) she's developed some decent comic timing.
The one about the royal wedding is brilliant
One of the best episodes of all time. But it helps to know all three regulars over time to get all the juice from that one. David and Rob's outrage is a thing to be savored.
I love that you are doing this. Once you satisfied your search for specific comedians. Just go back and start at season 1 and do the whole things please. These videos are fantastic. Thank you.
That’s pointing FYI lol
@@alskjflah you'll have to forgive me Marco...what are you talking about?
You have a wonderful way of describing your experiences Neil.
I don't know if you have a background in psychology but I'm sure you would have gone far if you hadn't considered it.
WILTY, & Bob Mortimer are definitely some of my favourite things & seeing you experience this, (from a British p,o,v) warms my heart.
(Lee Mack is also up there in my list of favourite things to experience in life, obviously! Lol!)
Just subbed to your channel, I really enjoyed your WILTY & Taskmaster reactions. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
That's awesome! Thank you so much, AJ!!
This was delightful! Love seeing non-Brits react to this show. Hope you do more. :)
We're all the same mate, we all want to meet him too!
I have pre-ordered a signed copy of Bob's autobiography from Waterstones bookshop. I think they still have signed copies available to pre-order.
He has written a book but as far as i know he hasnt released it yet, probably just in case something insane happens that needs to be included, which for bob is a pretty safe bet
I'd put money on it ! 😀
We British aren't used to paying for medical treatment so the thought of dental insurance is somewhat alien to most people here especially older people which is why many people do go too long between dental visits. Actually my dad said in the late 60s early 70s a fella on the street he lived on learned densitry from books and did some dentistry for the people on the street for free, he would actually do tooth extractions and fillings but stopped when people took liberties asking if he'd do there cousins teeth or there aunt from the other side of town.
Had to comment after you talking about good story telling. I love old b & w films, mostly because they’re just good stories! No gimmicks or special effects, just good acting & a good story, mostly with small casts too. So much more intimate. Oh and they don’t go on for 3 hours lol. I digress, love your reactions, very interesting & thought provoking. And of course, I love Bob, what a hero
yeah we dont generally have dental insurance in the UK....
I love how David's guess on Bob's dentistry story was so rushed. "Ithinkit'strue!" Like he could've been easily talked out of it & didn't want anyone to say something that would make him second-guess himself.
The sales of Fugi 9 went through the roof after this ep.
LOL I bet.
I've looked for it!
And India got a massive order for flutes...
I’m from the same town as Bob and I think we all share a very particular and localised sense of humour. It’s so familiar to me - the banter round here is great! I don’t know if it’s related to poverty and hardship but I suspect it could be 🙂
i used to have 17 sugars in my tea
17!?
Yeh if i had 18 it was too sweet for me
lol this gets me every time.
I knew a guy who took 8 shots of coffee and wondered why staff gave him funny looks when he ordered!
He comes out with things that are somehow hilarious for reasons I don't understand.
If you want an absolute gold mine watch Bob's show shooting stars. If you've never seen it you are in for a treat.
I'll definitely check it out!
It would be worthwhile watching David's 'love' story to his finally getting together with his wife Victoria.
Thanks for a great way to start the day!
Absolutely my pleasure! WILTY has become a true favourite of mine! :)
I was snowed in and had an abscess and raging toothache and performed the extraction myself. I ended up needing stitches. Though the immediate relief was worth it I don't recommend it!
Neil loves Bob and so does most the UK
We don't really have dental insurance in the main.
I think the reasons Bob is not put on shows with other comedians is that is always outshines them, always out does them. Comedians like to be the funny one in the room and many of them (not all, there is a few who can) don’t have a chance against him
Lee Mack has his own show called 'Not going out' The first two series are very funny. Victoria has an excellent appearance on a programme called QI...as for Bob mortimer has ridiculously funny stories like setting fire to his house as a kid and getting kicked out of a town for terrorising people while wearing masks....
Because of this episode i decided id do my own tooth filler and sort my wisdom tooth during lockdown - when dentists would only see me "if i had a road traffic accident"
Stacy Solomon is awesome , wish more people was like her , love her personality!
Excellent Fallout Boy logo, my friend!
@@NeilTalks ha thanks , i love fallout franchise , such a great escape of a game! glad you're on the British comedy bandwagon ! hope all is well over there in Canada , peace from UK !
@@123456twat All is peachy here in the Wasteland. I've got my Pip-boy and my power armour, so I'm set.
@@NeilTalks Been watching a fellow Canadian on UTube since lockdown 1 March 2020. Alanna, on @Adventures and Naps been in UK for nearly 6yrs. You in film industry or Stage to carry loverly isla Fisher across muddy area ?
@@dave_h_8742 I've been in the film/tv industry for the last twenty years. Maybe one day I'll tell some stories about my days on set.
Been watching Bob on TV for over 30 years… His latest TV show ‘Gone Fishing’ with fellow comedian Paul Whitehouse is one of the best programmes of recent years.
You seriously need to discover Karl pilkington.
Karl has little to no presence on British Panel shows (I'm not sure, but he MIGHT have been on one of the Keith Lemon shows), but he is definitely a must watch. Two projects of his. The Ricky Gervais Show and An Idiot Abroad. Must viewing. His role on the first is ridiculous storytelling, like Bob, but based more on him being mockable more than loveable. His role in the second is putting the biggest marshmallow in Britain in an endless series of circumstances in foreign lands that make him uncomfortable.
That Fuji IX is a dental glue or adhesive that is very Strong.
Strangely in America, anyone can be a dentist without a license.
You literally don't have to go to school to open up a shop for it.
You do however need certifications to use certain medications on people.
I think Neil is catching on to why we were so excited when they announced that Lee Mack was going to be on Taskmaster. (and why many of us were disappointed when he didn't bring much of his word play and quick wit with him.)
I can only imagine if David now got announced as a contestant on TM. Although I see why they wouldn't put him on the same series as his wife - they'd overshadow any other contestants.
Working out the ratio of actors to comedians to have known funny ones so it flows must be hard. You don't want to overshadow or ruin the Bob story or flow from it. Too many comedians as on Whose line is it anyway can kill a good joke or flow of comedy i think that's why they only have one or two the rest being Presenters, Actors or Naturalists.
For a gentle tv series which entertained the nation during lockdown watch 'Mortimer and Whitehouse gone fishing'
@briantalks
I listen to this episode every time I go to the dentist.
I knew this was true as soon as Bob mentioned Fuji IX. I also heard of it from my dentist, who said how great it was. You can get it from Amazon.
You will tend to find that most British TV shows keep the same opening for many years and it's very rarely that they change the graphics or the music.
there is literally nothing on the planet funnier to me than Bob Mortimer on this show. I mean that genuinely.
Great intro. Big speech about storytelling, followed by "Now let's listen to some prose"
I once raised Fuugi-9, having heard about it first from Bob, with my dentist and he said that it was in fact a brand of material. Much like Hoover is a brand of vacuum cleaner.
When you finish all the episodes, there are the Mortimerian Tales, where you can check extra cases of Bob.
You need to see the one with Kevin Bridges, where he bought a horse by accident. Hilarious.
You should also watch the UK (original) Taskmaster. There are a few episodes on UA-cam, also with Bob. It's a very, very funny show.
Check out my reactions to it! I've finished series 11 and am working my way through series 9 right now (it's just appeared on UA-cam recently). I adore TM!
16:06. Bob doesn’t have an autobiography that I’m aware of, but he does have a show where he talks about his own life and life in general with another British comedian, whilst they fish together.
I can’t remember the name of the TV series, but if you’re interested, Neil, I’ll try to find it…
Bob has an autobiography out now called "And Away...". ( The title being based on the fishing show Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing) The autobiography is also available on Audible as well read by Boro's finest: Bob himself.
You've still missed his owl story. It was from the same episode as when David had Gaby Logan & Steve Backshall on his team. If you out into UA-cam Bob Mortimer Owl story it will come up. - It is one of the best.
If you like interesting characters with bizzar tales and unbelievable lives, look up Brian Blesed. Explorer, mountain climber, actor (Prince Vultan - Flash Gordan, Boss Nass - Star Wars and much more), cryptozoologist (Big foot hunter), friend of the Dali Lama, "He is the oldest man to have reached the North Magnetic Pole on foot, where he claims to have punched a polar bear on the nose." According to Wikipedia, etc etc etc.. Fascinating guy, huge personality. Worth a look into if you haven't already.
The name is vaguely familiar, but maybe I'm just confusing him with Berkeley Breathed. :D I'll check him out.
He just had his autobiography out! Go get it!!
Bob is a true legend a national treasure
There is a great TV program called Gone Fishing starring Bon Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse. Absolutely recommend it if you love Bob.
There is also an interview if him by Richard Herring on his RHLSTP UA-cam. Definitely check both out.
Either o(a)r. One of the best jokes in WILTY.
Looking forward to the dentist story from Bob, hope it`s this episode.
clicked on it for the exact same reason
My sainted ma, god love her, had a bigger dictionary than that for her crossword puzzles. If you are going to double check Suzie Dent either go full multi-volume or don't bother.
I would love to meet Bob Mortimer.
Very enjoyable.
Victoria Coren Mitchell presents a quiz show called Only Connect that may well be the hardest in the world, worth a look if you get the chance, let's see how you measure up.
I've met Bob Mortimer. And by "met", I mean I stared at him to see if it was him while I walked into his children at a theme park
Vic and Bob (Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer) when together are utter nutters. Their shows are so random, bordering on childish genius.
The UK has so many and comediens.. The people in the comments will put you on the right track.. it could be a long journey
Victoria Coren Mitchell will be on the new season of Taskmaster
Victoria is absolutely brilliant. I'm sure people have pointed you at QI well worth a look
If you like Bob’s panel show appearances, you should check out the surreal comedy he wrote as part of Reeves and Mortimer. this stuff is nothing. Get down the rabbit hole immediately. You won’t regret it.
I love 💕 him the things Bob can do are endless and boy does he make me laugh 😂 please check out Peter Kay he’s the best comedian we have ever had he’s a genius yes your right OAP is an old age pensioner like me Stacey Solemn is always happy and she’s a beautiful voice Love from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴😂😂👏👏👏💕👋
You have to watch Bob in shooting stars or a bit of reeves and Mortimer ...
As you appreciate Bob's humour, if you have any familiarity with English football (teams, players, managers) then you should listen to Bob's podcast Athletico Mince (possibly even if you don't, it's still funny but makes more sense if you know who he's talking about). He has completely free-reign to be insane. Not really something to react to but some youtubers have animated some bits of it (Peter Beardsley and Gangs of the EPL).
That's not loose leaf parsley you silly rodney plonker, that's my HAAAIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRR ISLAAAAAAAAND!
Try Mortimer and Whitehouse gone fishing on BBC I player, if you like the banter.
I forget the timeline, but the first appearance of Victoria was before David talked to her, so it was when he was madly in love with her and no one knew.
Most dental work in my experience costs not a lot, always surprised by these high costs some people pay.
Up next, bathing with Chris Rea!
I've just finished editing my reaction to it, and oh my goodness. It doesn't matter how many times you watch it, it remains epically hilarious.
You need to check out Bob Mortimer as train guy, give it a google 👍😂
Have you seen Bob and Paul Gone Fishing?
I'm sure Canada will have their own version one day. I presume Britbox airs the originals for the audience ratings and IF popular will commission their own Canadian version.
New Zealand has recently started a series of WILTY.
@@qwertyTRiG Thank you for that input.
The singer's called Stacey Solomon, & she's a fabulous singer, as well as a really popular TV celeb.
I suppose being gorgeous, clever, down to earth, & funny has helped her stay in the public eye, & she deserves to, she's a lovely girl! 😁
Bob Mortimer used to do a chaotic, almost spoof, panel show with his comedy partner Vic Reeves. It was called Shooting Stars. I don't get Vic Reeves style of humour, it's too bizarre, but some of the Shooting Stars episodes were entertaining.
If Bob tells you a story ALWAYS assume it is true, he is mad :)
I heard Bob is an actual qualified dentist
Curious about the jersey Neil
I picked this one up in Africa, Charlie. It's the official 'national' jersey of Zanzibar, which is a semi-autonomous region of Tanzania. I've made it a bit of a habit over the years to bring home sports jerseys as souvenirs from my travels, and this particular one was too good to pass up.
@@NeilTalks The Democratic Republic of Congo is the only country in the world to have their jerseys made by the Irish company O'Neill's. Random fact for you today.
@@qwertyTRiG I will take this fact with me to the grave. And if I'm ever lucky enough to appear on QI, I will share it with the world.
@@NeilTalks awesome, got more than i bargained for here!
You need to watch wilty lee mack wok around the clock
Check the best of Lee mack dude you will enjoy
You said story is everything in your business, what is the business that you do ?
You cut out the bit where stacy sings to the tortoise!!??
I think Bob is always with Lee because he has a large number of unbelievable true stories and balances Lee who seems to have run out of true stories and relies on far fetched untrue tales
The guests are random Bob comes up against whoever's on be they comedians, actors or general celebs.
I doubt it. I think that they do try to balance the show. You rarely have two wildcards on the same episode, so Bob Mortimer doesn't appear with Henning Wehn, for example.
First
