One of the best parts of this show is watching the guests try to keep it together while Lee talks 🤣 *David popped that hat on and I thought he was going to go investigate the ripper murders .
As an ADHDer, it made me so happy when he came out as having ADHD and explained how it enhances his comedy: our brains are chronically understimulated, so he constantly listens to every conversation and side-conversation while simultaneously thinking of potential jokes. I am from the US, and we don't have much positive ADHD/neurodivergent representation here. Our culture of individualism means a lot of contempt for the disabled. But the UK has given me Lee Mack, Rhod Gilbert, and Russel Howard (ADHD) and Fern Brady (autistic).
Just a side note, I actually lived with a cat who liked very ripe pears and melon chopped up fine and would eat canned peaches just cut into slices. I also lived with one who loved canned asparagus, she lived to 21 years and had asparagus for every birthday (other days too, but specifically on her birthdays).
@@puckerings I was responding to OP who said they should have known it was true because he would have read it differently if it wasn't his bird, which isn't the case.
Should have kept the fact that David Mitchell doesn’t drive as a future story for truth/lie. I’m sure it’s hard to think of new ones that are true after so long. 😆
ok, thought i was going crazy. didn't remember this ep until the lime and lemon story (tho the wand and tophat looked familiar). was reaaaally confused for a mo
It has nothing to do with being wealthy, dear. It has to do with being British. There are many, many residents of the UK who never get a license because it’s so much more convenient to use the tube than own and drive a car.
@@jogermaine8600 Seems YOU don't know it's got nothing to do with being British but being a city dweller who has access to cheap mass transit. Get out in the world, broaden your horizons dahling!
@@hensonlaura I AM British. And, broaden my horizons? You mean beyond the multiple countries and American states I’ve been to? Or perhaps you mean figuratively, beyond my B.A. and my M.A. and my Ph.D and my law degree? Oh, I know, you mean through accomplishment-such as publishing a multitude of articles and guest lecturing at some of the best universities in the world? LOL It’s always people like you. For the record, the tube connects to the above ground systems and you can get almost everywhere in the UK. Is it perfect? No. But there are plenty of people who are non-“city-dwellers” who do not have their licenses, either. I’m guessing you’re about twenty and think you’re an expert on the UK because you really and truly love Harry Potter, is that it?
So apparently, David Mitchell will never do anything that's considered remotely funny ever again? Has he voluntarily chosen to be condemned to this program for life?
To answer your question, David Mitchell has stated that he loves doing panel shows because they don't feel like work. He just shows up and banters with friends or people he knows. When he did many comedy projects with Robert Webb early in his career, he described watching daytime tv and procrastinating on writing anything for their sketch show. David has always been open about his lifelong anxiety. A less stressful job is better for his health, which means he can be there for his wife and child as long as possible. So I would say if you don't like it, don't click on videos of it. You can spare yourself some frustration, and let those of us who like the show enjoy it.
I'm surprised they grilled Jo so fiercely about eating Christmas dinner in the bathtub. I accepted it immediately.
I just thought "I see nothing wrong with it. I might just do it as well."🤷♂
Hahahahaha. I LOVE this comment. You made my day brighter. "I accepted it immediately." I Felt that.
@@MrAaahh1 aaaaaaa
I just love Bill Bailey...and David, and Lee, and Rob.. And Jo 😉
I’d have believed Jo’s story, I’m hiding in the bath now. Lol.
I'd love to share the stage w/ Rob, David & Lee.

Lee Mack has such a wonderful quick wit

The bird was all over David in the green room!:))
“Where was the pear tree?”
“Next to the cat.”
😂😂😂
I always think they're releasing a new perfume when they say "Possession".
Thankyou 🎉
How didn't they realise that the bird bit was true? He would have read it as Jacob, and not Yakob if it weren't his bird
If it was a lie he could have intentionally pronounced it differently to throw them off like Claudia Winkleman did with her pet turtle
for me it was more than he and the bird seemed incredibly familiar and calm with each other for it to have been a lie.
@@nowandaround312 Yes, except that the bird kept responding whenever his name was mentioned so I was pretty sure he was pronouncing it right
@@nowandaround312 But the bird answered nearly every time he said the name. So that was clearly its name.

How did Nick keep a straight face? 😂
I wish Jo would write a book.
@DavidSmith-yx7kn she has wrote a book. Autobiography
Was everyone booked this Xmas? Why re-release an old show as though it's new?
so annoying and deceptive.
Nope. They put the season in the title. They didn't do anything to imply it was new.
Wouldn't it suck to be the person who has to come out and just stand there while they tell jokes.
I’m always astonished how good most of them are at keeping a straight face whilst the panelists are cracking off jokes one after another!

Comedy gold at 6:30.Errr....

This used to be a 40 minute show wittled down to 30mins, I would have hoped for a one hour episode for xmas, what's happening with the BBC?
So they got Ruthie but not James Corden? Did he demand a special omelette in his green room?
Nobody asks for James corden
Thanks for keeping us up to date with the latest WILTY. Maybe you can post the third episode of MASH next year. 🙄
24:40 Good thing women are so gullible and confident at the same time.

It is in fact difficult to sex birds if not done by plumage color.
It's weird that millionaires dont ever need to have a driver's license.

Comedy is subjective. Perhaps your limited capacities would be better served by some cartoons?
Didnt he play Shakespeare in that Ben Elton thing and do another season of Peep Show?
