    Bob is a National Treasure. He's a trained solicitor who became a comedian with comedy partner Vic Reeves and they did brilliantly surreal comedy. His stories are stuff of legend. He now does a fishing programme with Paul Whitehouse, another funnyman. He's just published his autobiography which is well worth a read.

Stuff that a kid had no business watching, but so many happy memories of laughing along with these comedy geniuses with him.

    It's impossible to describe what Bob is. Bob is just Bob. I can see that the term 'national treasure' has been used here, and it's about the best way he can be described. Surrealist comedian, musician (number one in the UK charts), fisherman (yes, really), lawyer in a former life etc. He transcends any single label that can be given to a person.

    Part 1 👍
    Nothing I can say will improve on some of the descriptions already in place. Bob is an inventive, surreal and hilarious raconteur, but as you can see he deals in flights of fancy, rather than going after a target like some other comics. Don't try and worry too much about how much is true, or try to rationalise Bob, just enjoy the performance, the effects he has on the others, the florid language he uses, the preposterous assertions and let it wash over you like a warm bath....with an egg in it.👍

    Bob is by far the best on this show. To answer your question it’s mostly comedians but some other people from media and sports - in this episode Dion Dublin is an ex football player and Debbie McGee was a magicians assistant.

    He was a lawyer who went to a comedy night above a pub and met his comedy partner, Vic Reeves - they formed Reeves and Mortimer, eventually going on to create a show called Shooting Stars. They are like nothing you have ever seen - I challenge anyone to describe them. They out-Kaufman Andy Kaufman, and leave Steve Martin and Robin Williams in their wake.

    Nice to see that our friends across the pond can appreciate dear Bob- he's so natural and matter of fact, yet shrewd & cunning the lacksadaisical way he chatters away, just keeps every body laughing, he's better that a tonic. !!

    Bob is an absolute British legend. He made his name on shows like 'Shooting Stars' with comedy partner Vic Reeves. He has a hugely interesting life story - so many curious events and incidences, as his wild stories on WILTY show. He's always had a 'funny pub story' approach full of intricacies within his retellings, combined with heaps of surrealism (some of Bob and Vic's sketches, like 'Mr Shakamoto', 'Tiny Hands', 'Leaving On A Jet plane parody' and Masterchef' show just how darkly surreal they went sometimes). Just such an effortlessly funny man. His 'train guy' Instagram videos, where he impersonates a modern day London 'yuppie' are brilliantly hilarious. Hard to believe but he says he has always been quite socially anxious, especially in his youth, but comedy was an outlet. He also nearly died and had heart bypass surgery. A really interesting and dramatic life!

    Bob, did indeed train, qualify and work as a solicitor (lawyer) before turning to comedy, but he's perhaps one of the most extraordinary characters the UK has ever seen and hilarious, to boot!

    DIY dentistry. I completely relate to that story. I used to have veneers on my front teeth which fell out every 4-5 months and cost about £250 for the dentist to put back in. I researched it and got some professional dental cement, acid etch and other equipment. I used to cement them back in over the course of 5 years. Saved a fortune, and they only lasted a bit less time than when the dentist used to do it, say 4 months instead of 5.

    Bob Mortimer is joy in human form. I re-watched Vic Reeves Big Night Out this year for the first time in decades and it's aged brilliantly. Because it's just surreal, silly humour, it has a timeless quality to it and is genuinely hilarious. The same goes for The Smell of Reeves & Mortimer.

  • @matroska_5625
    @matroska_5625 Před 2 lety +2

    Also, this show has a mix of types of people. The two team captains are comedians, the host is a comedian, but the guests can be anything. Like, the one where Bob's talking about the egg in the bath, you have a footballer on one team. In other stuff, one of the women used to be a famous magician's assisstant (and wife). You get musicians, actors, TV presenters, etc.

  • @patrickholt2270
    @patrickholt2270 Před 2 lety +6

    Holy shit, Fuji 9 is a real thing. I can see the appeal if all you need is a replacement filling. Bob Mortimer was one half of a long time comedy duo - Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer. They had a number of their own TV shows. They did a combination of surreal slapstick and mucking about like schoolboys but being grown men. Vic Reeves was the lead, as taller, and Bob was the wingman. But the surreal storytelling is part of what Vic & Bob did.

  • @sammason5178

    Bob is a stalwart on 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown, Taskmaster (another highly watchable show) , Gone Fishin' (with Paul Whitehouse) and many other things. He's reliably funny and often moving. Big thumbs up for BOB

    Bob made his name in a comedy duo with Vic Reeves.
    When Vic Reeves appeared on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Jimmy Carr joked:
    "Vic Reeves' success can be summed up in 2 words; and those words are Bob and Mortimer."
    True words spoken in jest.
    Bob is a comedy genius . . .

    Bob is mesmerising when he tells stories, always has everyone in stitches. Snippets of his other hilarious stories were featured in the last part of this clip. I think you should react to all of them. Also react to Chris (the egg man) Rea's - Road to hell.

    Bob is hysterical. I can watch these episodes over and over. His anecdotes are amazing and the names of his friends and the childhood antics they got up to, just so funny. I've learned that the most way out of his stories that you think couldn't possibly be true, are in fact true. I love him. Actually I love this show. Its my go to when I am depressed and need a belly laugh. 🤣

    Bob is one of the most delightful oddballs I've ever seen! He's clearly a very smart guy and unquestionably self-aware, and even though he's truly odd; it's just so enjoyable! I would absolutely love to hang out with him! There is one other oddball that has made several appearances on "Would I Lie to You" that I would also recommend. You will NOT regret it. His name is Henning Wehn. He moved from Germany to England many years ago and ended up staying. Thanks for the reactions guys! I really enjoyed it!

    there's so many more brilliant stories.
    He's a former solicitor turned comedian who has worked primarily with Vic Reeves. They made a number of sketch shows (Vic Reeves Big Night Out, The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer ) as well a comedy quiz panel show(shooting Stars). They also did some other stuff together but they're the main ones I remember.
    He's also done a more recent fishing show with another comedian called Paul Whitehouse which is lovely tv and funny in a milder way. It highlights their friendship as they age. It really is good tv but maybe not something for a reaction channel, although i guess the best bits compilation might be).
    Fianlly, as others have said, he acted as Jarvis cocker's solicitor straight after Cocker got arrested for interrupting and mooning at Michael Jackson during Jackson's Breit Awards performance back in 96.
    He's an all round legend.

    Bob Mortimer was a practising lawyer, he saw Vic Reeves's one man show that used to play pubs & clubs in London and started to get involved more & more in the act. It gained something of a cult following
    The first time we all became aware of them was when Channel 4 commissioned "Vic Reeves Big Night Out" - best described as innovative & experimental late night viewing. "Shooting Stars" is their follow up game show, which you'll certainly enjoy on the strength of watching this.
