Same! I have ADHD, like Lee Mack (and Stephen Fry and Rhod Gilbert and Russel Howard and Sue Perkins and Johnny Vegas). My brain is chronically understimulated, and I have had insomnia my whole life. As an adult, I have found it helpful to listen to things that I am familiar with and find entertaining on repeat. If it were boring to listen on repeat, my brain would get too bored and become alert again, leading to an endless cycle of insomnia. But if it was too entertaining or stimulating, my brain would hyperfocus and become fully alert, leading to an endless cycle of insomnia. WILTY is the perfect combination of comforting and stimulating for me.
If I had to make a list of the top 10 2-second moments of this show, I'd definitely reserve a slot for David's expression at 2:48 paired up with Sara's reaction to it.
Yes!! A favourite of mine you could add to that is when David cackles on a camera close up in Rob’s truth/lie of if him and his wife have a cuddle jumper. It’s hilarious!
I was once on a plane when two women started absolutlely losing their minds during take-off. It was as we were hurtling along the runway that they discovered Palma, Spain (where they wanted to go) is not the same place as Parma, Italy - the flight destination.
The irony of only knowing of howler monkeys is that, according to wiki, of the 4 species of monkeys in Costa Rica, the howlers are the only one that don't have white in their face. Tough luck on that one.
On the contrary he comes across sometimes as an arrogant and obnoxious little twerp. Stop bullying Sarah you oaf! I recall in one episode Lee saying he had a strong desire to punch him in the face. Other times he's OK!
Realised that the landing time would have probably been only a few hours after take-off, due to time zones, so it might have seemed alright for her, if she wasn't paying attention to flight time.
except that if you leave the UK you don't arrive "a few hours after the take-off" in Spain. Do you even know where Spain is? It takes 2 hours to get there, with the time difference you land one hour later.
The flight to Canary Islands, a Spanish Overseas territory which is a popular holiday destination for Brits who want some winter sun, is 4-5 hours, with several place-names which start with Costa.
It would still have been like nine hours after takeoff. Maybe if you left at the right time and didn't pay attention to am/pm? That's the only thing I could think of.
@@weneedaladder8384Not if you only look at the departure and landing times and don't notice the line where it tells you the travel time. The arrival and departure are always given in local time zones so e.g. if I look for flights from Paris to Toronto there are some that leave at 1pm and arrive at 3:30pm.
I'm glad it was true because otherwise I would have lost trust in humanity simply because of Sara's ability to tell overpoweringly detail-driven convincing lies. But because it was true, well, it's just a great scene from WILTY and a funny story to hear, fortunately!
So obviously true. The idea of using logic to say false was flawed from the start. If she were able to classify monkeys she wouldn’t have made the mistake to begin with
Back in the late 1980s, there was a guy flying to Oakland, California and he heard the boarding call for the plane and ended up flying to Auckland, New Zealand.
i like her quote 'real' personality on the panel shows, shes good on QI and 8 out of 10 cats, but I saw one of her standups on live at the Apollo and it was all just relationship jokes about her boyfriend and I tuned out about halfway thru the 15 minute set. People gushing about their spouse isn't funny. not a good set.
The story rang true to me because it's the type of mistake Sara Pascoe would make. On another episode, she told about a time she bought a second-hand miniature dresser for a dollhouse thinking it was a real piece of furniture.
They thought she was lying cause most people know that Costa Rica is a country and not in Spain. The trick is working out the odds that Sara isn't one of those people at her age (or rather the age she made the mistake) and then guessing on how plausible that is. Basically if they thought she was lying they assumed she was more knowledgeable than what she was. If she was 17/18 when she made the mistake I would have increased those odds. Plus I've seen her on other stuff, she's not that bright, I would have increased the odds again.
@@nicosmind3There is also a Costa Rica in Spain though. I assume the country was named after it. If you were googling things and looking at a bunch of different vacation places in Europe and saw a bunch of Costa del etc names and then saw a yoga retreat in Costa Rica right among them I can just about imagine assuming for a moment that the yoga retreat was also in Spain. You'd have to be pretty distracted and not paying a ton of attention.
@@TPH250290 Entirely. David Mitchel is a very knowledgeable guy indeed, and I certainly know where Costa Rica is, and I'm sure if I do, then he does. Although I suppose I have the advantage having actually been there. Not on a Yoga retreat however.
It happens to the best of us. I only learned that Alaska was connected to Canada two years ago (I’m now 30). I thought it was off to the side kinda like Hawaii. I only learned this when we were traveling to Alaska and got worried when we drove into Canada. I thought I was being kidnapped or something 😂😂
@@TheBlackDemon1996 I'm being pedantic, there is no fault with her logic - she's just wrong. The assumption: Howler monkeys aren't black The logic: If howler monkey's aren't black, and she said it was black, then its a lie. The logic is accurate (as in, the reasoning used to reach the conclusion is accurate), but the premise/assumption isn't.
And all that because of the marketing of the Spanish coast coined by the touristic industry, which have neither geographical/historical nor political background in Spain.
A story about an unplanned foreign trip happening, and not once did the question of the visa come up. 🤷♀️ Tell me it's about whypipo but don't tell me it's about whypipo
i am french and trying to understand when brits, scottishs etc people talk, is so hard that even the youtube subtitles option stops to work most of the time ( i am serious). But i still get how Jimmy Carr ,Sean Lock , Jon richardson, joe wilkinson ( a fckin genius but they all are) Lee Mack (the best ) David Mitchell ( a genius too) bob mortimer (another fkin genius), Rob Becke , Greg Davies, Jamie Laing, Mel Giedroyc , etc ... are the funniest persons in the world, you english are the best, sadly it s really difficult to understant your fckin accent.
This channel is lying to us. This is NOT "From Would I Lie to You? Series 11 Episode 5. " It is from none other than Season 11 Episode 6! So, "Let's be factually inaccurate because that never causes any problems in the 9th hour of your flight!" FYI - S11E05 was the Xmas special with Richard Coles, Clive Myrie, Henry Blofeld, and Kerry Howard!
I really admire Sara Pascoe. I wish she was featured more often on these shows. She's so clever. BTW, I suspected she was telling the truth when I saw that she kept looking up and to the right whenever she was asked questions. Memory experts tell us that's a dead giveaway.
Brits use a passport to get on any plane, even internal flights, and I believe Costa Rica is visa 'free'. I am not sure if you still do the form on the plane, or its a tick box on booking the flight for the visa. When I flew abroad when a tourist visa was required, it was filled out 30 minutes before landing, if you got on the plane, you where getting into the country sort of thing, no going to the embassy to apply and waiting 3 months for approval that 'visa entry' would be presumed to mean.
Geography is my strong suit, so I have a hard time grasping what an "average" person knows about geography, but I find it so hard to imagine someone getting through the entire booking process for this vacation without even *slightly* suspecting that they'd made a mistake. It actually bothers me how incorrect the base assumption is. There are so many well-known places that speak Spanish, that "Spanish name = Spain" doesn't even work as an excuse.
It might if you're in the UK, since Spain is by far the closest country to the UK that speaks Spanish and is, I believe, a popular holiday destination for the Brits. So it really would be the first one to spring to mind automatically when you're making an ill-advised booking in a distressed state of mind.
I think the assumption was not "Spanish name = Spain" but Spain has a lot of places called like "Costa Blanca", "Costa Brava", "Costa del Whatever", and those places are very popular amongst the average European traveller.
I wish the panel would have asked how old she was when she made this mistake. For a 17/18 year old I can see it happening pretty easy. Like I would still put odds against it but even 1/5 still happens so not impossible. But mid twenties and older I'd really doubt it then ... Then again Sara ain't the brightest person out there so that increases those odds again
We'd say "The Americas" in the UK to refer to both continents. There's no place called "America" for South America to be part of (except for the United States of). I've heard its different elsewhere and in other languages?
For large parts of the world, the United States of America and America are basically synonymous. Sure, it's technically wrong, but colloquially only a pedant would pick you up on it.
There's no way this flight would take anywhere near 14 hours. I would have said lie for that reason alone. She probably also learned in school that spiders aren't insect. My guess is that those two mistskes are related in that they both spawn from bad memory.
Also, the arrival time would have been local time (6 hours earlier than local UK time) effectively reducing the apparent “flight time” to a more reasonable 8 hours.
I've always wondered if she just forgot how long the flight was. Direct flights are about 11 hours. If it were not direct, the airplane map wouldn't show the final destination as CR. So yeah, I agree it's unlikely. I also thought it was a lie at first because of that.
@@peppeccino I presume that Danbury is referring specifically to the joke about Rob trying to pick up women which honestly... yeah, I kinda agree with. I love this show, but it is kinda frustrating to me how frequently they make similar jokes where the whole punchline is "man attracted to woman, lol". It's not really funny so much as just mildly uncomfortable. They've gotten much better about it in recent series, but in the older ones (and this one is at least 5 years old now) those jokes are constant. That being said, Danbury did seem to be saying the *whole* bit is misogynistic, implying everything about this particular statement from Sara, not just the joke about Rob. And if they really did mean it that way, I disagree there and am not sure where that is coming from.
@@Ruminations09 I mean even rob's bit isn't misogynistic though - rob is obviously the butt of the joke (awkward/cringey/fumbling attempts with a woman), so if anything it's misandrist? Not that I think there's anything either way in this whole bit mind

@@peppeccino I presume that Danbury is referring specifically to the joke about Rob trying to pick up women which honestly... yeah, I kinda agree with. I love this show, but it is kinda frustrating to me how frequently they make similar jokes where the whole punchline is "man attracted to woman, lol". It's not really funny so much as just mildly uncomfortable. They've gotten much better about it in recent series, but in the older ones (and this one is at least 5 years old now) those jokes are constant.
That being said, Danbury did seem to be saying the *whole* bit is misogynistic, implying everything about this particular statement from Sara, not just the joke about Rob. And if they really did mean it that way, I disagree there and am not sure where that is coming from.
Oh not all this nonsense again...
@@Ruminations09 I mean even rob's bit isn't misogynistic though - rob is obviously the butt of the joke (awkward/cringey/fumbling attempts with a woman), so if anything it's misandrist? Not that I think there's anything either way in this whole bit mind
BLONDE…🙄
Sarah pascoe is so gorgeous
