Brian I have to confess the majority of the UK population see the true or false element as not really of any great importance it is merely a vehicle for comedy and some very entertaining people to just talk shit and make us all laugh but it’s funny watching so many reactors Americans Australians etc getting very competitive and angry not quite getting it when Bob goes off on his named individuals tangent. It is usually a lie when the captains tell a story because it’s been season after season but it’s their delivery we watch for.
I say something to this effect before every episode then I hear about Bob Mortimer cracking eggs into his bath at the request of Chris Rea or Kevin Bridges buying a Bulgarian horse and returning it after 50 minutes (with a 5 minute break) and suddenly getting to the truth is the only important thing in my life
There actually WAS an American version of this show on the CW. You'll be absolutely SHOCKED to learn (from Wikipedia) that with Americans in charge, it lasted ALL THE WAY from "April 9 to July 9, 2022". Proving yet once again that there are some things Americans really ought not to touch. 🤨
I fail to understand why US tv stations don’t simply buy the rights to show existing English speaking successful comedy shows and try them out rather than risk failure on buying the rights to make a US version and getting it wrong the perfect example is the inbetweeners, if you have seen the abysmal US version you would see why.
It’s not as simple as the cost of buying the rights. The thing is, whilst many Americans do get our humour, many more don’t, so things have to be changed, they also have different sensibilities around language and dark humour. And yep, many American versions of British shows don’t work, but they’re all hoping for theirs to become “The Office” which worked spectacularly and was a lot more popular in America than our version.
The bloke on Lee macks left was Eddie from "Bottom". And the one on his right is Megan (i think), the new character from peep show though you barely see her in that clip
Whenever it's Lee, it's nearly always a lie - not always, but nearly. They basically give him a card with an outrageous lie on it that will take a lot of clever invention to expand it into something plausible and then let him do it.
This is more to do with the show being on for so long than anything, there are only so many true stories to tell! It’s like why Lee and David are never the ones that the person in “this is my…” know, now, except for the very rare occasion.
@@SketchyMagpienah, right from the beginning Lee was always given lies. Because as the other person said, he's just so witty that he can run with pretty much anything.
With regards to the use of 'peanut oil'... 'REFINED peanut oil' has been processed in a way that REMOVES the peanut 'proteins' from the oil. It is the 'proteins' that cause allergic reactions. Studies have shown that refined peanut oil will not cause allergic reactions for most people who are allergic to peanuts. If you do have a reaction, it’s likely to be very mild.
Great video as always hun and I have to say hahahaha that I did a double take look at the picture on the wall behind you KB 😂 first look I thought the person had no bottoms/trousers on 😂😂 ❤❤❤
Funnily enough, a lot of the Chinese people living in the UK adopt a traditional English name. My wife is Chinese and she has an English alternative name, as do many of her family. I don't think there's any Steves though, but there's an Alfie, William, Katherine amongst them.
As someone else has already mentioned, whether it's true or not isn't really the point. The point is how quickly the contestant can make up stuff and how much it makes us laugh, rather than guess whether true or false correctly. For us it's the journey that matters, not the end result. That's why this show wouldn't work in America because Americans would be all about guessing lie or truth.
WILTY is one of those UK penal shows that even though there is ostensibly a scoring system, the score does not matter a lick. QI is another example of it. Getting the answers correctly does not matter. Getting some banging storytelling and aome good laughs out of it is the point.
Better if you watch s whole show or even the whole seasons. Theres loads of em. At the beginning therr was presenter called Angus Deyton. Also search for a sitcom called Gimme Gimme Gimme starring Kathy Burke. So funny. Good luck
You should really watch the one where Lee says he was invited to the Royal Wedding but David and Rob weren't. It's absolutely brilliant watching their reaction
For context, David and Lee usually get one “truth or lie” per episode that is obviously a lie from the outset (like this) and the entertainment comes from them then trying to make it believable.
Of course it's a lie . The last round is usually Lee and David and they've been doing the show for so long it's ( almost ) always an entertaining lie . In the case of WILTY. they did try a US. version , watched a bit on u tube , it was ok , but I think our shows work because everyone on British tv knows - or at least knows of - everyone else . The US. is so big and you don't have that .
It might surprise you Americans...... But we don't giva a shit if it's true or false. As long as the journey was funny, thats the point, we don't care about winning. Qi literally gives points for just being interesting 😊
You know when you’re getting old when you have to bend down to your knees to put your bra on! When you put on a lifejacket and you have to scoop your stray watermelons back underneath the jacket for bouyancy, it’s called old age and it’s time to watch your younger relatives for schemes to cash in your life insurance!😃✌️❤️🇬🇧 this would make an interesting triangular warning road sign in Florida!😀
With respect I’d be surprised if American celebrities would be as entertaining, they often seem a lot more earnest than ours. I don’t mean that as sn insult, just an innocent observation…now, am I telling the truth or was that a lie?

Absolutely dreadful the American version.
If they they ever take me to Guantanamo, they should play that to me. I'd tell them everything.

Because america as a whole just doesn't understand foreign comedy and do not accept anything that is "not their own".
They tried with ‘Red Dwarf’
Lil side note mate, Penguin is a chocolate bar over here and "p-p-pick up a penguin".....👀👏😂💜
Lee Mack is my favourite comedian his stand up is hilarious too..
The bloke on Lee macks left was Eddie from "Bottom". And the one on his right is Megan (i think), the new character from peep show though you barely see her in that clip
That 'Was he the only Steve Jenkins in his school?' line whilst corpsing always get me :)

Please please please do the 2nd Bob Mortimer WILTY compilation it’s so good 🙏
ACHOO!
pussycat, whoa-a-whoa-whoaaaa
Have you watched Lee Mack - I made my daughter cry? So funny! You must watch it with the queen.

I used to work with a Chinese guy who'd taken the name Steve, immediately leapt to mind when Lee mentioned Steve Jenkins!
Not just chinese either, my Gran was Polish, Katarzyna, everyone knew her as Kath or Kathleen.
You need to see Lee and the royal wedding invite
If you havnt seen it, best one is where lee didn’t attend royal wedding because he had to do that panel show.
As someone else has already mentioned, whether it's true or not isn't really the point. The point is how quickly the contestant can make up stuff and how much it makes us laugh, rather than guess whether true or false correctly. For us it's the journey that matters, not the end result.

Has king mentioned reacting to Phoenix Nights yet? Top tier British comedy.

Although very occasionally they're true and it's great.
9:08 You do have an American version of this I watched the first episode, Richard Kind was great on it.................he was anyway
a peanut is not a nut its a Legume as in Peas
I’m up for more WILTY 🙂
Hey King Boomer, Incase you didnt know, the guy to Lee's left is Eddie from Bottom! Ade Edmondson
Even when you know Lee is waffling its hilarious 🤣🤣
Did you realise that it was Ade Edmanson on lees panel that was in "Bottom" the tv series
I see you had to RAM that one in.
Did you recognise the girl Jez has entered a three way with? Or perhaps Ade Edmondson from Bottom, also on Lee's team?
WILTY was loosely inspired on an American radio show I think.
Any chance of you reacting to more episodes of Lee Mack's sitcom Not Going Out?
Lee replaced Bob Mortimer on one of the Mortimer and Whitehouse gone fishing episodes and he said he was Vegan.
Why would a vegan want to appear on a fishing show?
To be fair I know a chinese guy called Stevie 😂
Of course it's a lie . The last round is usually Lee and David and they've been doing the show for so long it's ( almost ) always an entertaining lie .

chinese have a freakout viral at british pianist kavanagh
We remade 'Married With Children'. OUR version was weak, albeit cf a strong original show. Onlt the mother actress was up to speed.
When's the King Boomer merch dropping?
Please never do another WILTY without the queen. Thank you.
It might surprise you Americans...... But we don't giva a shit if it's true or false. As long as the journey was funny, thats the point, we don't care about winning. Qi literally gives points for just being interesting 😊
What matters is whether it's a lie or not - the inventions and jokes along the way count not at all - correct?

Is the guy on Lee's left the one you named your daughter after?
Best of Brittish Enjoy lol
For some reason I believed this one
You should react to some Taskmaster, it's a great show.
Did you recognise Eddie Hitler sitting next to Lee?
With respect I’d be surprised if American celebrities would be as entertaining, they often seem a lot more earnest than ours. I don’t mean that as sn insult, just an innocent observation…now, am I telling the truth or was that a lie?
WILTY is based on Prime Minister’s Question Time in the Houses of Parliament.😂
There is an American of WILTY, I've never seen it so can't attest to how terrible it is
All episodes are edited just saying
There is an American WILTY, i seen the first couple episodes but it's not as good.
You do have (or did) your version of WILTY. It's awful.
first :P
Get on with IT crowd yea
I love at the end where Lee says part of him is thinking he could actually bring the book out lol😂
If Jamie Oliver can do it, anyone can.
@@KenFullman true lol
@@KenFullmanah yes, the man who puts frigging jam in rice dishes.
