@@johnmc3862 It's not scripted but they film for hours and edit the best bits together with perfect timing so the show seems like a constant stream of wit with never a dull moment. So the wit is real, just not as consistent or quick-fire as they make it seem. Probably only about 10% of the filmed footage is used. Oh, and I'm not suggesting in any way that this is somehow dishonest or cheating or anything. Nobody would watch the show if there was the actual 10-20 minute stretches of downtime without the really cracking jokes. It's an entertainment product so of course they make it as fun as possible to watch.
Did anyone notice that the 'snake' was called Sammy, and then in Not Going Out later the evening, the character Lee made a snake hand puppet thing which was called Sammy the Snake?
I spotted almost immediately that it was a lie when he revealed that he couldn't remember the species of the snake. If anyone has ever had a teacher passionate enough to keep a snake in his/her classroom, as I have, you can pretty much guarantee that they would've told you the species enough times that it'll be permanently ingrained into your memory.
A snake. Most unussual pet which requires dead or alive mice to stay alive. That's what they would use in a class with children. You can't even normally pet the thing like a hamster or mouse. Before finishing the video: My guess, Lie
It's surprisingly common, one of mine just had fish, a snake would've been more interesting 😂 I imagine feeding time would be out of hours in case anyone was grossed out, and since most snakes are nocturnal/crep. Plus some snakes don't eat rodents or eat other things as well. The two that come to mind are garters & egg-eating snakes but garters would be much easier to find.
If they knew anything about British wild snakes they would've known Lee was lying from the info he gave alone. They don't make good pets, they musk and that's not fun for anybody. Neither do they eat mice. They eat amphibians. They won't eat dead prey items. Nobody would keep a Grass Snake as a pet when there are other easier options. If there had been a naturalist on the show he would've been caught out right away lol
There is something about Dermot that is very ( for want of a better word) unattractive to me. He just has such a dullness about him. Even his voice is depressing. If I hear him on the radio, whatever music he's playing' I have to turn it over. I know it sounds dramatic but his voice evokes a real depression in me for some reason. Am I crazy or does anyone else find this ? People must like him as he was presenting nearly everything at one point. No need for abuse if you do like him - it's just my opinion that I wanted to share and I'm sure he can deal with an anonymous guy on you-tube's comment. ( Feel I have to put a disclaimer in after an opinion nowadays, to try and deflect some of the inevitable abuse people throw so easily about)
Well, we clearly disagree. I understood he had a fan base and he is obviously popular or he wouldn't have remained in the mainstream for so long. I just happen to think as I commented. I don't hate him or anything. I just, personally, find him difficult to watch or listen too. He's not my 'cup of Horlicks'.
I love how Lee uses jokes to get out of annoying questions
BLaDe _ try it during job interviews
I do that nearly as often, but not on TV.
Lee Mack is the only person who can make David Mitchell laugh like that. What a genius
And Brydon's cuddle jumper
and robert webb O:
They're soul mates duh
And Bob Mortimer....
Whenever David laughs, the world becomes a slightly brighter place.
The heart speaks
'looks like I'm about to go bowling' :')
"This was during snake studies?" "Well that's what the PE teacher called it" that was so quick from Lee lol.
Lee is incredibly quick witted
Didn't get that one.. Can someone please explain..
@@shabbirhussain4303 teachers a paedophile

him and jimmy carr are the best at it .so off the cuff
@@NaomiGigi The quickest I'd wager
Lee would definitely be _the_ coolest uncle to hang around with
Lee was on fire with his one liners this time haha
I had a school snake as a kid, and I don't remember its species.
I'm 100% sure it was a corn snake or a ball python 😂
It blows my mind how witty Lee Mack is. He comes up with these jokes on the spot. Unbelievable.
No all, some of it is definitely scripted. He’s good though.

It’s not a good sign when Lee’s statement immediately makes David laugh... He doesn’t believe it at all

VickieVlogsStuff yeah
Sammy is a pretty common name for a snake though. A bit like Polly the parrot or Rover the dog.
This entire episode is absolutely golden 😂😂😂
Love the wheeze laugh at 2:17
Was that Dave
Such a fun game, everyone gets to play along, even the speakers own team it seems.
Spoilers
Does Lee Mack ever get truths on this show?
+Erik Bakker the womblering
Erik Bakker was the teletubbies one true?
The darts
The plastic work class at school
TRiG (Ireland) the song that made his daughter cry
David tries to nail him down... But Lee wriggles out from under the questions! Ever time. Except, when he doesn't.
"Mel will you shut up"
Grass snakes does not sway. And they are not aggressive. Unless you are a woodlouse, or a slug.
The makers don't even give him a chance, do they?
Lee so sweet x-\3
2:33 He was licking the air so confidently before Lee told him to go further down 🤭
I thought they were going to cut the reveal off at the end, so everyone would have to watch it to find out if it was truth or lie.
This is going to be a good episode I can tell... And it has Josh Widdicombe which is even better!
Lol I love Lee!!
*Spoilers*
0:06 Almost as if he's thinking "how the hell do they expect me to sell this shit?"
+bigmeknurgle Considering some of the lies he has had to tell in past this one was pretty mild and plausible
3:27 love Mel and Dermot conferring right past David - is this the episode with her truth about him??
😂
He gave it away with the snake bed
Nah, it was a joke, they have “fake” stuff in truths as a joke as well
oh wow the edit at the beginning makes it look like David is laughing Josh's laugh!
When Lee's fact is unbelievable he will just filibuster with jokes until they have to decide without any useful information
When is there a new series of this?
***** Thanks for the info!
Josh Widdicombe makes me smile so hard even when he's just sittin' there 😭😭💕💕💕
We had a snake at primary school called Sammy
2:03 LMAO

Well done nerd patrol.
+Wattywatasaurus I have a snake in my Biology room and I don't know what the fuck the species of it is, I don't even care to be fair.

Well the teacher is probably that passionate but that doesn't mean the students are.
Quickly, someone stroke Marc O's head!
Pretty much everything Lee says on this programme is a lie
That is
..... a lie.
The nursery my son went to had giant snails a chinchilla and stick insects
And did he make it to school?

You also can handle many/most snakes
The PE teacher taught the pupils about the one eyed snake.

Except he said he wasn't sure what it was, which is perfectly fair. Loads of good pet snakes do eat mice, including pinkies.
The duck thing was biologically false but turned out true.

He presents well because he speaks clearly, is attractive, and while dull, his voice is iconic and catching.

He's known in our house as Dermot O'Dreary.
He's never gonna win a Mr Charisma contest, he's OK though
Well look at you mr charisma with your depressed whining.. lol.
