I think my favourite Lee Mack stories are the ones where you can tell he’s given up before he even begins and just absolutely takes the piss the whole time 😂
When Richard said "Where was this ladder, Lee?" I really wanted Lee to answer "No, vertically." It seems like exactly the kind of joke those two would enjoy.
"Pinwheel" is what we call those in the US. For the Marmite thing I kind of got it from context clues, but after looking into it apparently Marmite's marketing really leans into "half love it and half hate it".
David had a RUclips channel called David Mitchell's Soapbox, where he would rant about various topics, and one of them was about Unilever's marketing of Marmite, and how "some people love it, some people hate it" is kind of meaningless as a descriptor for anything. He ends the video by saying that Hitler was like Marmite, because some people loved him, but others really hated him; then he jokingly backtracks and apologizes to Unilever's legal team, saying he's not comparing Marmite to Hitler, only that Hitler was more popular than Marmite ever was.
I'm the opposite, I tend to think those are untrue and they just made them up because it ties in with a guest (like Lee's ludicrous cake baking story when Nadiya was on the other team).
Because everyone knows it's never gonna be Lee Mack (with the show running this long, they probably have exhausted all his acquaintances), yet we all want to see how far into the preposterous he could take the story.
I realise it's meant to be lighthearted, but does anyone else see something slightly sinister in Joe's explanation about why he wouldn't be fired... basically, he can touch the backstage people on the show without their consent because he's famous!
@@lotus-prince Yeah - I realise he had to think on the spot and might have chosen to say it differently if he'd had a chance to think, but couldn't help but hear alarm bells ringing.
Thankfully it's all made up so none of it is real. He had to think of something on the spot and came up with an idea that displeases you (though he never said it himself) but it doesn't mean it would have actually happened

That’s brilliantly put !! 😂😂👍
@@williammorris1384Yes, agreed 😂 Love him winging it 🤣❤
And I love Richard for always saying ”I think it’s Lee” just to shock David 😂
Always love seeing a clip I've never seen before.
"We understood that it wouldn't grind grain!" 😂😂😂😂
THANKYOU I commented a while back saying there was NO clip of this anywhere pleased it found its way to top of ur posting list👌
I love how Lee had the most amount of time out of everyone to invent a story and yet was somehow still completely off guard when it got to him 😂
How is the matt guy standing with a poker face..i would have laughed so hard😂

oh this wordplay is impeccable 😌
Okay.
I don't get it please tell me
@@louiseanders535 "Ladder, Lee" = "laterally" = sideways.
Pinwheels!!!!
This time I was sure it was Lee that knew Matt.
Lee's nonsense stories are always great.
"Pinwheel" is what we call those in the US. For the Marmite thing I kind of got it from context clues, but after looking into it apparently Marmite's marketing really leans into "half love it and half hate it".
Marmite is even used as an adjective in the uk for something that is really divisive
@@rooty Interesting. Thanks!

*_"Marmite: You either LOVE it or you hate it."_*
Did nobody know the word 'pinwheel'? And David an ardent pedant, I'm not havin' it.
Never seen this one before, interesting 🤔
Steph, the only one that sounded remotely possible
It was always going to be Steph's story because it involved Jennifer who was starring on the same show for the other side. Simple. Double whammy.
They sometimes make those up.
I'm the opposite, I tend to think those are untrue and they just made them up because it ties in with a guest (like Lee's ludicrous cake baking story when Nadiya was on the other team).
I always FF Lee’s story. It’s never true 😂
this is insane to me because i always skip to lee's story LOL
@@max_oats I guess he has his fans. Me, I liked him on Taskmaster, here he is always over the top for me
Sorry but what is FF?
@@PH_1964 oh, you’re young ;) Fast Forward :D
@@krissdev Gee, not been called that for a while. Naive maybe....and English 🤭 or daft 🤣
Why do they give Lee such stupid cards?
Because everyone knows it's never gonna be Lee Mack (with the show running this long, they probably have exhausted all his acquaintances), yet we all want to see how far into the preposterous he could take the story.
I think she meant pin wheels and not windmills.
The fact that none of them said pinwheel makes me wonder if that's not a thing over there. Like they have them but they just call them windmills.
@@ConeJellos you’re right, I looked it up. I probably should have looked it up first! Thanks
RUclipsrs are on mainstream telly now? Oof.
The show's been going 17 years. They're kind of scraping the barrel a bit now
tv is getting less and less popular
Please tell me you are joking?!! Joe has been on mainstream TV since 2018 at the latest
This is years old
I realise it's meant to be lighthearted, but does anyone else see something slightly sinister in Joe's explanation about why he wouldn't be fired... basically, he can touch the backstage people on the show without their consent because he's famous!
Yeah, that's why he stumbled over it; didn't want to just go out there and say it. But it's probably true.
@@lotus-prince Yeah - I realise he had to think on the spot and might have chosen to say it differently if he'd had a chance to think, but couldn't help but hear alarm bells ringing.

Joe is a truly sweet, modest guy so I don’t think he would ever think that himself.
@BenEssex-Itvmv OMG, it was a made-up story. You are worrying, seeing something nasty just because you are not as successful as the lovely Joe.
