Whilst we're on the subject of Christmas... We're delighted to announce that Would I Lie To You? At Christmas will be decorating your screens on Friday 22nd December. Festive hats are optional. See you then, 8pm, BBC One!
Yes, you'd expect a normal person to only last 2 minutes before they started throwing things at each other, running around and screeching hysterically. It would be a chaotic mess if they weren't already quite good performers used to keeping a straight(ish) face in front of an audience, or around other well-known funny people. I would go completely mental straight away, myself.
Yeah he didn’t look Irish either. Looked so British. when she said he moved to Melbourne I thought she might be lying though. I know that girl is kiwi but I knew her accent influenced that lie.
David saying that he didn’t need to say, “I told you so,” because his wife already knew that and would bring it up herself is…. Wow… the emotional intelligence there! I know he made a joke about it showing the relationship is working, but he’s actually right about that.
Imagine that had James Acaster completed his original plan, he would have drowned as a child because of a Spice Girls album. That is the most James Acaster thing I can think of
@@Kerzen-mz9ch I have...unpopular opinion but he just sounds like the weird guy at school. I mean, congrats to him that he had the confidence to lean into the weirdness and find an audience that likes him for that; I truly wish him well...Just not for me. That said, I agree with the guy above, acaster is pretty good on wilty.
Britbox has it, but its missin alot of seasons. Im a hillbilly in the hills of Tennessee, this is the only way ill ever get to hear these accents. I love it😊
@@donnakendall9103as a non Brit and non murican, and without trying to sound rude whatsoever, but I’d suggest not mentioning accents tbh. Brits get a bit iffy when Americans talk about accents. Because for some nonsensical reason, millions of Americans think they don’t/can’t have accents.. If anyone were to not have an accent, it would obviously be the English. Since English comes from, England.. I’d say David Mitchell would have ‘no accent’ or a ‘neutral accent’. Americans all have accents. Toemaydoe, pawstaw, mawrio, hairy podder etc
@@Burner-td4cu everyone has an accent. Sadly, mine is a twangy hillbilly accent that i have to think before i speak so i say it properly. Depending on who im speaking with. Every time ive mentioned an accent to someone, they took as it was intended, in a good way.
@@Burner-td4cu as a Brit myself, I feel I can speak for most if not all of Britain to say that no one is offended if Americans mention our accent. Everyone in the world has an accent to someone else, and no Brit would be offended by an American saying they like to hear British accents 😊
RIP John Lowe. If you want to listen to him with the Quarryman, apparently In Spite of All the Danger and That'll Be the Day feature him. He also toured for a bit in the 2010s.
I've never properly done the math on this, but I'm reasonably sure that David's batting well over .500 in the series whenever he believes he knows the identity of the "this is my" guest, but when as the captain he gives the answer the others on his team want (that ends up being wrong). and I so love the fact that he bothers to point that out when it's the case lol
has there ever been one of these segments where more than one of these if not indeed all three were simultaneously true i feel like that would be a funny twist on the bit lol
He is. I also recall seeing him first on television in a rather lame sit-com where he played a character from a different planet, so he had special powers. His character was married and they had a baby son, so the premise was that they spent most of their time hiding his true identity as well as the baby’s special powers which began manifesting as the baby grew. Because he was just a baby, he couldn’t actually control his powers. But the ‘special effects’ were extremely low budget, so the whole show was very silly. But Ardal is rather cute and quite funny, so I suppose he is why the show lasted more than one episode.
Oh, the Brits I know are always telling hilarious stories, which are made even more funny because they can keep a straight face while telling them. It makes you think 🤔 maybe it’s 1% possible the stories are true.
I loved that! Really appreciate your references to John O'Donahue too. I totally get the shaky legs thing too. My first time in Ireland my body shook the entire five weeks. Upon approaching an Cnoc Tara my i shook and cried. As a fifth generation kiwi I know my ancestral roots are from Ireland. Please make more! 😊
Lee mack saying it was a weird one visiting his mate john in hospital...he went in ok and then downhill. Funny cause that really happened to my dad. He was an outpatient cancer patient during covid so they took his temperature and all was fine. Gave him his chemo all fine. Was gonna give him platelets but temperature suddenly spiked. He never left hospital again and died 6 days later. So it does happen 😂😂😂
@gerdavogel5287 true but also, when they're battling secondary cancer, return of first cancer, and knowing theres no end in sight, and then getting sepsis, it's a relief knowing its all over for him. No more pain, tests, treatment, worries, depression, frustration, etc, on his side
I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one but understand your relief that they are no longer suffering and struggling. Your emojis are the ones denoting you are laughing so much you're crying. Did you mean that, or did you mean to put sad face emojis such as 😭?
I could tell Hugh had nothing to do with Angela as soon as he was reacting to jokes with no delay. A video link of that quality would require more bandwidth than he'd have at home in Australia, there would be some lag.
60 quid for a tree? i know London is a "bit" more expensive, but that much? I thought the Danes would keep the prices lower than that, i mean, they are half the price for a large one here or 18 for a Normal one
can get one for about 8 quid if you google, comes in a box with a stand, very handy, put it away at the end of the festive period if you feel so inclined, get it out next year
The format of the segment always has Rob presenting the options as rhyming words. E.g.: "David's team, is Hugh: Angela's Screen Smasher, Arnold's Misled Mate, or Lee's Prison Pal?" I understand that the participants don't say it like that, but that's what goes after the "This is my". "This is my Screen Smasher / Misled Mate / Prison Pal"
I think it would be a glorious place to be. I was born and mostly raised in Tennessee, USA. Ive seen pics of Stockholm, it looks like an amazing place to live.
Scandinavia is viewed as a perfect place to live. Amazing society. But also. Boring.. Especially compared to the Irish. I’ve never laughed harder than from talking to Irish people. They’re easily the funniest people. Even more so than Brits and ozzies. But don’t worry, Sweden is viewed as a utopia of gorgeous women and zero crime.
Another brilliant Brit show which would probably not be popular in the states. And yes, I am an American who so appreciates and prefers Brit talk and game show vis a vis American shows.
Over 20 years of the same faces doing the rounds of panel shows it is getting really tired only lifted by the occasional appearance of Bob Mortimer, who is clever enough to leave it at the occasional appearance.
Whilst we're on the subject of Christmas...

Thank you for this compilation, I'll be watching on Christmas while having dinner. :)
Can we see it in the US
Hoorah! 🎉
I will never stop being impressed by these guests' ability to remain so calm when so many jokes are flying around.
Yes, you'd expect a normal person to only last 2 minutes before they started throwing things at each other, running around and screeching hysterically.

@@Rugmunchersauce3 ?
They are given devastating news just before coming on to the stage
😢🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The “this is my” with Hugh on the screen was brilliant. I thought it was Angela for sure. She was amazingly quick on her feet.
Yeah he didn’t look Irish either. Looked so British.
when she said he moved to Melbourne I thought she might be lying though. I know that girl is kiwi but I knew her accent influenced that lie.
at this point im not sure if ive seen it and forgotten it or if i just guessed correctly. xD
@@Burner-td4cu Possibly helped. Still an impressively quick lie.
I absolutely thought Angela’s story was true.
@@HRHDMKYTI'd bet my house the story was 100% true, but she inserted Hugh into it.
David's pinkrabbit story is amazing.
The delivery of the "sorry mate" on the Cardiff story is priceless
5:00 I wonder if this is when Ardal learnt that swedish drinking song 😂
Very good point!!!!
Just realised Ardal's story is literally Would I Lie To Hugh
David saying that he didn’t need to say, “I told you so,” because his wife already knew that and would bring it up herself is…. Wow… the emotional intelligence there!
I know he made a joke about it showing the relationship is working, but he’s actually right about that.
Ardal: My wife was doing Tombola...
Lee: How is Mr Bola?
😂😂😂
Ardal,flying to Stockholm, to avoid being Santa, is the most Swedish thing I've ever heard. 😁
Ardal is Irish...and leaving without saying a word is an Irish goodbye.
I love how there's an episode with Joe Lycett, Joe Swash, and Jo Brand 😂 and to top it all off theres David talking about a David 😂
Imagine that had James Acaster completed his original plan, he would have drowned as a child because of a Spice Girls album. That is the most James Acaster thing I can think of
That would have been a hell of a WILTY story
Could he retry?
James has that Bob Mortimer aura where anything he says seems possible because it's him.
Yeah, it's a shame he didn't manage. He should give it another go.
Wow, so edgy 😯 @@ErrantPathfinder
David looks smashing in his suit & red tie!
Totally sexy, as is Lee
I just loved Ricky’s answer about the hate mail! 😂
Thanks for this marvellous festive upload for the season.
Dear Santa: Please bring more James Acaster.
I feel like James Acaster is somehow shaping up to be our generations Bob Mortimer 😂
WILTY is the only show he's been funny on
@@ykkrasaoz9748 I mean, he was great on Taskmaster, but also -- have you seen his stand-up specials?
@@Kerzen-mz9ch I have...unpopular opinion but he just sounds like the weird guy at school. I mean, congrats to him that he had the confidence to lean into the weirdness and find an audience that likes him for that; I truly wish him well...Just not for me. That said, I agree with the guy above, acaster is pretty good on wilty.
James is hilarious the way he talks with sarcasm in his voice... The episode where he got cabbage by the kid was hilariously funny...
@@The_Reductionist And that guy was hilarious.
Didn't realise the vicar was in the Communards! I looked up a couple of their videos and there he is on the piano.
Loving the new activity for WILTY!.❤👍
As a Kettering lad the yearly game of squirt is great fun
Brilliant show! We don't get to see it in the US so thankful it's on UA-cam. 😂👍

Volunteer Firefighters turning unable to aim their hoses at a fire had me in stitches. I'd love to play some squirt.
Sometimes Rob's Welsh accent and diction is misleading, I thought the guest was an Irishman called Viddy O'Link.😂
😂
has there ever been one of these segments where more than one of these if not indeed all three were simultaneously true i feel like that would be a funny twist on the bit lol
I've often thought that
I love how John tried hard to hold it together hearing Lee's story. He was just fine with the other 2
Aww. You got me good. I’ve got a big lump in my throat. How To Dad is one of the most heartwarming pages I look forward to. Merry Christmas 🎄 🎉
21:25 Was that Paul Burrell? 😂
Merry Christmas, everyone! Happy 2024!
is that the guy from father ted?
if you mean Ardal, the guy who lied to his neighbor to go on holiday, then yes
Father Dougal ❤

John Lowe was in the Quarrymen from 1958 to 1960, when he left to join Ricky Tomlinson's group.
It's nice to see that the Britts are still human, down to earth and funny as hell humans.
Was there a time when you thought we weren't human?
Oh, the Brits I know are always telling hilarious stories, which are made even more funny because they can keep a straight face while telling them. It makes you think 🤔 maybe it’s 1% possible the stories are true.
@HRHDMKYT dry and deadpan humour is our speciality. Especially if it's self-deprecating. It's in our blood, which is as bland as our food.
AKA the ugly sweaters compilation. 😆
David with that beard could be Santa
On Taskmaster, Ardal sings a Swedish folk song on Meet the Swede task. So endearing to hear the whole story from here!
David Mitchell is like if Peter hitchens had a sense of humour...
Ha, that's a great comparison!
24:39 killed me
Do they still air Qi and WILTY? 2020 onwards
Yes, they are still making wilty
yes, theres a new wilty episode on the 22nd and i believe a new qi episode on the 18th
Love this!
I loved that! Really appreciate your references to John O'Donahue too. I totally get the shaky legs thing too. My first time in Ireland my body shook the entire five weeks.

F un Justina….lots of skeleton’s bud…😂
They should do a celebrity This is My…make it Bob Mortimer and let him work with the other 2 contestants to help concoct their story

He was an outpatient cancer patient during covid so they took his temperature and all was fine. Gave him his chemo all fine. Was gonna give him platelets but temperature suddenly spiked.

If that's true (you can never tell online) then I'm deeply sorry.
@GeorgiaGeorgette hi. Yes it's true. Thank you. It was a few years ago and he lasted 6 months longer than was expected so all good 👍
Even if it’s expected or it’s some years ago, it’s always hard to lose a parent, so thank you for your story.
@gerdavogel5287 true but also, when they're battling secondary cancer, return of first cancer, and knowing theres no end in sight, and then getting sepsis, it's a relief knowing its all over for him. No more pain, tests, treatment, worries, depression, frustration, etc, on his side
I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one but understand your relief that they are no longer suffering and struggling.

38:25 is Lee a Karl Pilkington fan??
Jimmy? 🎩
I also immediately thought of karl 😂. Tattoo stan, John the screw and Jimmy the hat 😂
I'm so relieved that Rachel didn't have a mad Cake Making Stalker!
"Eddie The Hat" who got his nickname for never wearing a hat is *VERBATIM* a Karl Pilkington story from the Ricky Gervais Show.
I mean.... Wow.
Would I lie to Hugh😜
When Lee Mack is lying he always does a particular blink, so easy to spot!
St. Somethings is my local parish.
shame most of these are Lee's team... hearing David's tales are always a treat.
What about lees story?
No thats not true.
56:17
I'm pretty sure I've actually seen that guy on a platform at a train station
(written before I have been enlightened to the truth)
It's a shame what happened to Dennis
Who is the group at 39 minutes? The priest and others.
Lee's team: Rev. Richard Coles and Clive Myrie. David's team: Henry Blofeld and Kerry Howard.
Ardal was great in Father Ted and Death in Paradise!!!
Absolutely brilliant and loveable ❤

I'm going to be busy being America's second-most-loved Taylor
Bob mortimer is my favourite
Angela Ripon was amazing.
I do a half-decent impression of her. It's a Ripon Ripoff.
Yes I was Utterly convinced her story was legit
@@keithparker1346 I said the same. Someone else suggested her story was true, but she simply inserted Hugh into it. Makes sense.
So glad Richie won. Simon only got there because Richard bent the rules. I hate that 😢
As long as I laugh, I don't care.
A kiwi comedian Rose awesome
How sad was that ! He could at least have had a falsetto voice.
60 quid for a tree? i know London is a "bit" more expensive, but that much? I thought the Danes would keep the prices lower than that, i mean, they are half the price for a large one here or 18 for a Normal one
50-80 dollars is about how much we pay in my area of the US for a 6 foot tree depending on species
Bout 40 quid here in Europe.
Average price is €40-60
£60 is expensive though. Bout €70 or $80
can get one for about 8 quid if you google, comes in a box with a stand, very handy, put it away at the end of the festive period if you feel so inclined, get it out next year
I love Joe.
Why is this segment called "this is my" when that's not what they say? They say "this is ____" with the person's name?
Because it's not about their name but rather their relationship to the panelist
The format of the segment always has Rob presenting the options as rhyming words. E.g.: "David's team, is Hugh: Angela's Screen Smasher, Arnold's Misled Mate, or Lee's Prison Pal?" I understand that the participants don't say it like that, but that's what goes after the "This is my". "This is my Screen Smasher / Misled Mate / Prison Pal"

as if they got jeremy corbyn on the show
So are these stories reaal lr made up? How does this show work?
The black guy really fits the street savvy barrow boy image. His cockney accent not too good either. But he still fits the part.

So many men. White men. Good diversity on panelists, but special guests…..😊
