I don’t know Mel, but I feel like she’s the type of person who goes on historical tours, museum tours etc. and acts really interested and asks loads of questions 😂
She on record attended a lecture on the Liz Line/cross rail and then talked about it through half of a Big Fat Quiz. It was delightful. Romesh was her partner simulating resignation and despair
Fun fact about Mel Giedroyc, she is actually a descendant of Lithuanian nobility, the Giedraitis family of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth who trace their lineage back to Giedrius, a brother of a Grand Duke of Lithuania named Traidenis during the 13th century. A potential ancestor of hers (could just be someone who shares ancestry with Giedrius but is not a direct ancestor) was Romuald Giedroyc, briefly commander of Lithuanian troops raised during Napoleon's catastrophic invasion of Russia.
I love Mel but what is it with people like you who raise her and others above the "crowd" for the achievements of their ancestral family members from decades or even centuries ago? Any lineage has no value whatsoever, if anything, it proves the inferiority of the house instead of superiority. She was born into this family, has become a successful public personality and that's it. It wasn't her who tore down the castles of her enemies or defended her own against them. I'd dare bet that you're an American of 3rd or 4th gen who thinks he/she's Irish or Italian. If not, then a Londoner who has achieved jackshit after the age of 40.

As a Chinese, I just don't get the joke. Japan kept the right to left book format, but modern China switched to left to right. So I have no idea what Lee was referring to.
@pkuvincentsu Lee is still the guy that brought an Iceberg into a Cabbage discussion, which I may add I also found funny. Comedy is comedy, I don't doubt our ignorance played into this but I'm certainly not looking to over analyse what should be an easy listen / watch.
@@pauldayus Oh normally I enjoy Lee's comedy a lot. He was gold in Taskmaster too. I'm just confused with this particular joke because culturally it just doesn't make sense to me. I guess I just didn't expect the misconception/Ignorance of the Chinese reading format to be that widespread.
Well, horses for courses etc but when they were a double act they were pretty mediocre IMHO. Somehow maturing a bit and becoming independent "TV personalities" seems to have served them both well.
Mel really shines on her own show Unforgiveable, here she cant talk much other than tell the story within the confines of the shows format, she seems a delight
He's just like Lee, it's not like either of them try to truly convince the audience; they're doing it just for fun. A fact which both of them abuse when they throw in a true story every once in a while.
@@avysark2034 I'd be interested to know how many of their claims were actually true. My guess would be 5%. With the guests it's easy. If they're not comedians, it's almost 100% of the time true, since they don't have any improv skills.
Right to left is how you read Japanese; top to bottom in vertical lines and right to left. "Back to front" is your way of looking at it or generally the most common way of reading on this planet but doesn't equal the same all over it.
I don't mind these guest focused retrospectives, but it's weird you still include the full "This is my" segments of all 3 people. This wasn't really a Mel-focused clip, considering how much time is devoted to other guests as well
We had that chat haha. We decided to keep the mystique of the full round in tact though, especially in cases where the mystery guest isn't Mel's for example. It seems rude to rob people of the real answer!
The method you suggest has been used on many other 'highlight' clips of certain contestants, but what happens is call backs and cross reference jokes referring to the other contestants' claims become meaningless and confusing to anyone not very familiar with the particular round of that particular show.
That's how his comedy works. He is reacting very very fast (in what he is one of the best) and tries to say something funny, which works for him big percent of time, but sometimes it does not.
Mel Geidroyc, **officially** nice. She seems like such a delight to hang out with!
I'd like to spend some time with her ! 😊
GAWD .... she's one of THE MOST ANNOYING!!!
Taskmaster reference?
Until she's shaving your head in your sleep
I don’t know Mel, but I feel like she’s the type of person who goes on historical tours, museum tours etc. and acts really interested and asks loads of questions 😂
That's so specific but I totally agree
She on record attended a lecture on the Liz Line/cross rail and then talked about it through half of a Big Fat Quiz. It was delightful. Romesh was her partner simulating resignation and despair
She doesn’t just act interested, she’s genuinely and wholesomely interested!
Are you not that person?
It's good to be that person.
Cross rail!
Dermot reaction made that one so obvious 😂
"[The lick] was full of homage and reverence for the great man..." Mel is bonkers, I absolutely love her for it. 😂❤😂
Wasn't a similar story told when Janet Street Porter
was throwing a party at her house years ago.?

Oh to have her as a dinner guest. She’d be such fun
Thanks for this compilation of Mel Giedroyc. She has brain, beauty and she’s funny.
She has a brain. That’s about the only true part of your comment.
@@SP-ie1vxwait I think the the other two are true, she's not that bright but she seems a right riot to hang with

@@necymamaril3735 I think my joke went over your head, unsurprising as you have disclosed that you are American.
A Mel video! Not someone I would have expected to have a WILTY compilation, but I am super happy that she does!
Lee's Menu, back to front was absolutely on point, he's quick on that stuff 🤣🤣👏🏽

@@pkuvincentsu there you go, every day is a school day.
Such a fantastic show, I wish I was older when it first aired haha
I love Mel. She's so funny and fun and sweet and very zany.
No, she's just the poor relation to Sue Perkins !!.

"Things are hard, we've only got lychees" is going straight into my vocabulary
I probably watched it a dozen times, but I only just now noticed that Dermot is blushing so hard afterThat Reveal.
I wanted David's diving board story to be true so much! (; One of my favorite "this is my..." ever!
I think she is such a doll ❤
Mel really shines on her own show Unforgiveable, here she cant talk much other than tell the story within the confines of the shows format, she seems a delight
Rob doing his manager from Black Books voice in the final segment! lol
Haha that cut is funny af. "So yes it's true, Mel did have a snog with Dermot, so welcome our special guest: their love baby 😂
Dermot
@@eneedham789 corrected it + grammer fix.
You can't get pregnant kissing.
it's so easy to spot David's lies. He's always being rescued or pushed into ponds or something in these stories.
He's just like Lee, it's not like either of them try to truly convince the audience; they're doing it just for fun. A fact which both of them abuse when they throw in a true story every once in a while.

I love that every "highlight" episode turns into a Lee Mack highlight episode
12:24 this is the exact moment you know it’s Dermot
10:25 the glorious comment and that cheeky look
She would make such a fun grandmother.
Thanks! Can't have too much Mel! Tbo, I kinda gotta crush on her.
I wonder if she said yes after 156 times or he stopped asking? 🤔
I know this compilation is about the amazing and polite Mel.
Just mention it here that I became a true fan of Lee Mack (Mack-speed) through this show.
I still think she's one of the nicest, funniest, and sexiest women on the planet.
She's and absolutely gorgeous woman
Mel Giedroyc 🥇🥇🥇
aren't public baths shut in autumn?
11:42 how did no-one immediately say "true!"... im disappointed in Lee
Lucky old Dermot....❤
Ohh, gang.
I chuffing love Mel
14:37 feel free to do whatever you like with this footage
Why is the button always a struggle to press?
Mel and Dermott might be the only healthy relationship that started at the workplace at the BBC
I found Mel a very beautiful, funny, and down to earth lovely lady! Would love to meet her!
Oh gang
Shaylene is nuts, I would so like to kiss Dermott too, lucky Mel!
The Japanese language is read back to front . Manga books etc.
Chinese is front to back . I believe :)
Lee is clever though usually 👍
Right to left is how you read Japanese; top to bottom in vertical lines and right to left.

What a beautiful woman she is with a sexy voice. No wonder, she has Lithuanian roots :)
7:09 This an inside joke or a throwback to something earlier?
I think, and I might be wrong, as the way they are sitting Mel would see the behind of David, aka “ass”, and therefore donkey.
It must have been a good snog if Dermot was 100% boneified!
Had that kid sitting on the right never heard of hair -colouring/dying before? 😅
Love these
I don't know her, but she is very charming and funny, but I really strongly hoped she didn't lick David's cake..... :-D
17:16 Lee missed a great “boner” joke there! 😂
No , he chose to ignore it .
@@carolthomas8528 Aw it’s so sweet of you stepping in for him but I doubt it. There’s been plenty of penis jokes on this show.

@@WILTY_TVMade the right call
Long ass chapter names
If you’re going to do the best of someone , it would be a good idea to feature them more in the video , just saying 🤔
It's literally just all her turns? How exactly are you supposed to feature her more, edit out everyone else?
I find her no less delightful...& I'm a bit of a germ freak.
Sometimes I find Lee funny, but sometimes I find him annoying.
That's how his comedy works. He is reacting very very fast (in what he is one of the best) and tries to say something funny, which works for him big percent of time, but sometimes it does not.
I find her creepy.
Come on, who hasn't stolen someone's hair while they slept or licked someone's cake so they'd unknowingly ingest your saliva? We've all been there.
Yeah well you're a wet blanket
This video is 32 minutes too long!
I sure wouldn't mind having a snogg with Mel if I'm being honest, intelligent, witty and pretty; a well aged woman :3
