The moment he instantly says a gray tie you know he's telling the truth and that he has thought a great deal about this.
He's probably thought a great deal about everything.
It's that sort of overthinking about the mundane that fits his character so well.
I picture him reaching for gray tie at the store while remarking to himself how un-noteworthy it is, his hand stopping dead as he questions how it could have attracted his attention in the first place if it truly was un-noteworthy, then him turning away and going home where he lies in bed and stares at the ceiling.
*grey deal
@@kawaiilotus That joke of yours is so subtle it stands out!
The bit about "but not so unnoteworthy as to in itself to be noteworthy" is a very David Mitchell thing to say...that had his signature all over it.
videos4mydad isn't that contradictory?
kind of think of it as a scale of -2 to 2 of noteworthyness and the actual noteworthyness is the absolute value of the score. So a outfit that is a -2 is as noteworthy as a 2 for being unoteworthy.
You've really botched that quote
Leaving but ONE question...…...Which Foreign State has he Sworn his Allegiance ?
Nah, it would be very hard to read that way
His eyes when he says "If there was a chameleon here it would stand out" just scream insanity
+blind999 Lee's "comedian" comment though! So fast.
+blind999 He genuinely looked like he was trying to convince someone about an insane conspiracy.
blind999 While the analogy isn't perfect, it fits I think. Yes a chameleon is a MASTER of blending in, but if you were even vaguely aware of its presence, the sheer disphoria between the animal and the place would mean you would NEVER forget about it and probably ac5ively look around for it, defeating it's point of blending in and ULTIMATELY having people forget it's even there.
Similarly with a man in a gray suit with a gray tie: they are trying SO hard to blend in they seem to people much like that chameleon. They might be blending in jn the traditional sense, but they are doing so in such an overt fashion that they leave an impression that has people remember and actively look for them; defeating the point.
David doesn't want to be traditionally distinguishable, nor does he want to be that chameleon. He wants to straddle the line so that an observer A.) sees nothing unique about him and B.) doesn't see that he is TRYING to blend in...which would be more unique.
I agree with what you're saying. I wonder if there's some term to describe this phenomenon.

Do you know what Dysphoria means?
I loved his "yes well of course it's true" at the end. It's like, come on guys, you know me by now...
+joe schofield IKR SO TRUE :)
omg spoiler 😁
He sounded a bit offended that someone could even question whether it was true or not.
I love how David is just like "Yup, I'm a weirdo, you all know this now, oh well." It delights me.
Of course it does.
I read that in his voice.
Love David's crazy eyes after the chameleon line.
Why do you say that?
"I don't want to sound too sexy."
David, you always sound too sexy.
Agreed.
@@Psiberzerker "Under my underwear I'm completely naked"😂
But he also doesn't want to sound so unsexy that it becomes sexy
Oh, yes!
Word: Beard
David's Definition: A failure in personal hygiene
we need a David Mitchell dictionary
To be fair, HIS beard was a failure in personal hygeine. Not beards in general.
@@almightyk11 MY beard is just a proof of me being too lazy to shave every day. Now I just trim it weekly, so that's six days effort saved...
@@almightyk11 Every beard is a failure of personal hygiene. Beards are ugly and disgusting. Yes, all beards!
@@mytube001 You're entitled to your incorrect opinion.
He's definitely more comfortable in his skin. Old David would have made a very different joke when Lee asked about his underpants.
What kind of joke?
Matthew Randell this is a 7 year old comment! He won’t respond
@@user-uq1fq6gs3i you'd be surprised!
Matthew Randell / No I don’t think I will be.
@@user-uq1fq6gs3i He would have made a self-deprecating joke back then instead of acting 'sexual'. David was notoriously low on self-confidence in the old days. He's improved since his marriage to Victoria Coren.
"If there was a chameleon in here, it would stand out"
"Well if there was a comedian in here, he would stand out"
I'm dead 🤣
“I hate those moments of being physically noticed.” Damn, that’s relatable.
This is one of the most outstanding exchanges between David and Lee. Notice how no one else intervened... barely Rob.
The blonde bimbo was surprisingly quiet...
"I call those my teens" -brilliant
David Mitchell seems so much more confident and comfortable these days
Zach Radge shut it
+Zach
Agreed, it was something I noticed as well.
@@Widdekuu91 You _noticed_ it? David won't be pleased...
@@alexander_strachan Uh-oh...
It's the beard
I could never adequately express how much I love these two together. 😂❤️
Except hes probably the best dressed on the show lol.
that's because his butler dresses him lololol
I think his wife dressed him.
And straightened his hair and whitened his teeth.
Well, not really in a very noteworthy way.
Rob is very well dressed usually.
@@SYL3RR His sock game is definitely on lock.
He's the most noteworthy one on the show (To me at least)
Nick98l But is that due to his appearance?
Danochy Appearance-wise? Yes. Personality-wise? Also yes
“If there was a chameleon in this room, it would stand out.”
The chameleon in the room: [smiles smugly to itself and says nothing]
Lee Mack’s last gag was possibly his best ever line.
Damn that comedian punch line was for the first brilliant, and it took 2 seconds for people to process it :D Salute Hahaha
I love how David Mitchell can literally just say a standard sentence, and it'll be funny.
That is his brilliant secret to his humour. Love that.
David Mitchell notoriously avoids attention. He has frequently pointed this out on Would I Lie To You, the popular prime time telivision show on which he is a team captain, alluded to on the popular prime time telivision show Was It Something I Said, on which he is the host,, hinted at on the popular television comedy shows That Mitchell and Webb Look and The Peep Show, implied on many of his regular appearances on Have I got News For You and QI and referred to on many of the numerous radio programmes for which he has become a well know figure. It is an aspect of his shy and retiring personality that he makes absolutely clear on his very own You Tube channel, David Mitchell's Soapbox. He is virtually a hermit.
You've figured it all out, haven't you?
"An essentially private man who wished his total indifference to public notice to be universally recognised", to quote Tom Stoppard.
Though to be fair Stoppard wasn't writing about David Mitchell...
Catherine Butler he went to my school so whar about that ey
That's not the point. He can want to be on television and doing comedy because he enjoys it, yet still not want all the attention and annoyance that is normally associated with celebrity.
Honestly that “if there was a COMEDIAN in here it would stand out!” is so endlessly impressive to me every time I come back to this
"Yes, well of course it's true!" is the most awesome, cheerful response. Ah, David Mitchell, you are the best.
0:04 Lee Mack’s expression...gold!
"i don't want to sound sexy..." love it!
I'm sure that he was sincere here.
So funny!!! I laughed many times, especially with "under my underwear, I'm naked"
David Mitchell is my spirit animal.
xøñχt ... lol... literally thought those words 20 seconds ago. :P
xøñχt Just want to ask... Do you know who WillNE is?
*Domen Bremec*
no.. should I?
xøñχt Just asking as a friend of his has the same avatar
Why do we keep calling people animals? What happened to the term soulmate?
Lee and David are simply brilliant.
Why does Dara look like he's been green screened in?
It's because of the shine on his big, bald, lovely head.
He's too large a man for the TV studios of mortals
Because this is a panel show, but he's part of the panel rather than the host! Surprised time didn't unfold the second he sat somewhere other than a host's seat...
unfortunately for david, he was born with noteworthily large irises and so will never escape the horror of being visually noteworthy
Thought I was the only one who noticed his noteworthily large irises.
+Princess Jesus Huh. I honestly hadn't noticed that. I'll be certain to take note of it in the future....
+Princess Jesus no no, he's just rolling (haha)
+Princess Jesus That's just because he's tripping balls, your highness and holiness.
they're not that large
I've always wondered how to grow a beard... do I like have to water it?
And make sure it gets plenty of sunlight.
Xanatos712 That's where I went wrong... I used to rub a potato on it every morning instead!
Paul Kerrigan Spare the neck -_-
... You're a dwarf without a beard? Is that even okay?
Mix bean sprout seeds with water and trowel onto your chin.
"Yes, well of course it's true." Such simple brilliance :)
He was so happy saying of course it's true 😄
The more I watch David, the more relatable I find him.
David Mitchell is such a brilliant man.
"I call them my teens!"
-David Mitchell, 2013
Words cannot describe how much I love that chameleon line.
"I hate those moments of being physically noticed" - Yep :L
David and Lee - the most wholesome married couple!
I so love british humor.. it's so sharp I call it tart and so dry I call it arid.. wow no greater words were ever spoken...lol 😆
David is spot on about the spy wanting to blend in, that they cannot react spontaneously...so much so, that it was used in the Sherlock Holmes movie!
I think that's perfectly reasonable, i'm gonna start following his example
I think it’s reasonable…but I like being noticed! Which colour would make people notice my hair more if I dyed it? I’m thinking either blue or green! Noteworthy as possible please.
@@josephchambers2000 magenta..
I cannot wait!!! I live in Canada and have to patiently wait for certain lovely youtubers to upload the episodes...so excited! It's so cute to see a wedding ring on David Mitchell's finger now. :)
David Mitchell is describing something that is known in the military and espionage field as 'gray man tactics': the art of blending into a crowd unnoticed.
Love David, in my opinion, David can be what ever he wants. ❤️☮️
"yes, well of course it's true." classic david.
Most people live their lives this way; they just don't realize it.
David Mitchell years ahead of us rocking normcore in 2013
That's actually a really reasonable philosophy, I like it!
"I deeply hate those moments of being physically noticed"
I can't even believe how similar David and Victoria are.
"Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them. With Major Major it had been all three. Even among men lacking all distinction he inevitably stood out as a man lacking more distinction than all the rest, and people who met him were always impressed by how unimpressive he was.”
David: "One of the codes I live my life by..."
Lee: "Oh, this is going to be so much fun!!!"
Describing growing a beard as "it wasn't like a brilliant rollercoaster" is such a David Mitchell way of phrasing it.
David actually looks pretty sharp in this episode!
I like David's blue shirt.
I once bought....a horse.
Has to be the best WILTY moment ever.
This guy is freaking hilarious!
"under my underwear, im naked!" hilarious
I've seen this clip before and last week I saw some clip of David in it and thought to myself 'well, David's tie looks a bit too noteworthy' 😂
That Lee Mack bloke...fuckin' brilliant! 😂
One thing that I noticed after David made that comment about grey ties was that on every episode of WILTY after the one that statement was on, Rob never wore grey ties for filming! He always wore ties that were different colours or of varying patterns!
The fatal flaw in David's little plan is that he is a beloved public figure. No matter how you slice it, that's noteworthy. As evidenced by the fact I just noted it.
Having seen his Soapbox videos, knew this was true instantly
I wish I could watch David all the time!
Me too
"Yes, well, of course, it's true!"
I love this guy.
I think we can all agree, David is hot af with the beard.
I enjoyed the irony of David wearing a bright blue shirt, which causes him to notably stand out, I wonder if he planned that hah!
I really like David's clothes/hair in this particular episode. They're nice but still in a David way, so for me he's failed to live his life by his code (but only in this episode ironically.)
David Mitchell is one of the most famous men in Britain any room he walks into it would be noteworthy.
I can watch these a week later because i forget the answers.
I think Lee n David just had this conversation in a pub and one of them thought damn it lets just put this on the show!
He's right. I recognised Jimmy carrs grey tie on cats does countdown from moss bros.
i knew it was true the moment he said it because that's exactly how i choose outfits too
David did a whole episode of his Soapbox program on this very concept.
'If there was a chameleon in here, it would stand out' 😂
God I love the Brittish language. This is just wonderful.
Britain actually has a few languages. You might enjoy watching this:
ruclips.net/video/OvlQXPNwrqo/видео.html
Welsh! That is the principle British/Brythonic language (Cornish and Breton come from the same source). English is a Germanic language.
This was such a truth it became noteworthy that it could possibly be considered a lie
I actually forgot he hadn't had a beard, so he's still succeeding.
The giveaway was that he instantly had an opinion on what is so unnoteworthy so as to be noteworthy
Ben Bryson the giveaway was that David Mitchell said the thing that he said. As soon as he read half the card, I thought, TRUE.
Dara's loving it
Hooray! A new season!
Lee sure has a knack for getting the best out of David. I dont think many people can keep ahead of him.
As an autistic person, I never want to be noteworthy, noteworthiness makes people want to talk to you,or meet you, or sit with you which detracts from what I was working on which made me noteworthy in the first place. Coming first in class was noteworthy, made sure I did not do that again. Beating all people at the range in the army made me noteworthy to the commanders, shot less accurately. Now, my OCD hates the noteworthy issues as it wants everything to be perfect. I ran my daughter’s first 6 years as a project with milestones, then I got divorced. Ran my then wife as a project as well, to improve herself.
And he’s doing it even there.. Wearing a very un-noteworthy jacket, but balancing it out with a brightly coloured shirt. Achievement unlocked
Tip in advertisement: Don't (however obvious) give away the answer in the preview.
He is getting more and more like Alan Coren, Victoria Coren's father. Same kind of laid-back wit.
Says something about Victoria Coren proving Freud right.
Anna Tsyplakova
Yes, I think it does!
Anna Tsyplakova Please explain more.
LemonZeppelin The more he looks like Alan Coren proves Freud and the Oedipus complex. She married an otherwise repulsive and neurotic man despite his appearance.
Anna Tsyplakova Well that would technically be Electra-complex.
Love this show
That is so David Mitchell...Of course it's True lol.
1:02 I feel that.
David has a Hitchens-esque look going on here.
not quiet as hung over tho
I love how David says it is true with so much obviousness
YYYEEEAAHHHHH NEW WILTY! In other news, figuring out the intricacies of David's noteworthyness rules is making my head hurt in much the way that trying to figure out time travel does.
David Mitchell is so funny
at 1:50 is so the mitchell and webb look
Has anyone else noticed just how much Lee seems to be obsessed with the thought of David in his undies or naked? 😂
Yes he is annoying trying to make the same joke over and over.
At the end, I believe we can all agree that 'philosophy' was not too grandiose a word.
If it was a lie, it would still be such a David thing that it would turn out to be true anyway
