Jason Manford "I was gutted when I first saw Rob Brydon's small-man-in-a-box routine, as for years I'd been entertaining my pals with my own man-trapped-in-my-mouth."
Would I Lie to You? is the hit BBC panel show where two teams of celebrity guests try to figure out whether their opponent's ridiculously far-fetched statements about themselves are true or, in fact, a lie.
Featuring inimitable host Rob Brydon with lightning-quick team captains David Mitchell and Lee Mack.

I've always been impressed with the many impressions Rob Brydon can do. But that voice he does for "Small man in a box" is insane. That's so impressive to even get that distant sound in his voice.
I agree, his vocal talents always surprise me to no end. Definite skill.
He's excellent!
And he did it with the accent, too!
Weird thing is, after watching some Lee Evans, he also does it and was doing it in stand up in 1993 Now, I'm trying to work out who did it first because Rob and Lee Evans are about the same age.
The second I heard him do the scream "I CAN'T GET OUT!" I knew it was true. You can't just try that on the spot and know you can do it, you have to have done it before. It's actually really difficult to do! It also makes sense that when he heard Rob's 'Man in a box' he realised his wasn't as good.
"I wonder what you're going to do"
What the hell is that?! Didn't know Rob could do that; that's cool.
He used to do it semi-regularly about 15 years ago.
Check out the clips with him and Coogan and Coogan getting angry that he can't do it
I first saw him do it on QI and it was very cool. Stephen Fry loved it as well.
He’s very talented
Rob Brydon's distant voice is an incredible talent
I never knew tahat skill exists
I know, to paraphrase David Mitchell: "This show plays tricks with your mind and you start thinking the opposite of what you first thought." I admit that I would have been on the Lie side of this question.
Rob Brydon has so many talents. I admire him!
Why is the Small Man In a Box an American?
just the sort of people that become trapped in a box.
As the American stuck in the box, I'd also like to know
He's said he can only do it with an American accent for some reason.
Nasality. Not much used this side of the pond. But consider the unusual way Kenneth Williams projects his voice: "nasality, Matron". He colours it with his West Country burr, but it's the same technique every American speaker uses all day, every day. If the Small Man In A Box wasn't nasal he'd be.... silent.
Because there used to be an American Ventriloquist who used to do the same thing back in the 70s and early 80s
Amazed that Warwick didn’t get dragged into this.
I imagine everyone thought "Should I..? No. Best not. Not on national tele." 😂
rob looked very sharp in this episode
Indeed.
I first saw Rob do it on QI and it was very cool. Stephen Fry loved it as well.
Jimmy Carr asked him to do it on QI, and had a wonderful fanboy moment when Rob did it. Jimmy also pointed out, which I hadn't noticed before, that the small man is American.
@billyeveryteen7328 11 months late, but how on earth had you managed to miss that the accent is North American?!
Unreal.
I was just thinking about this the other day
Me too. Maybe we thought about it at the same time without knowing
I need to watch some full episodes, I didn't know Warwick Davis was on the showw
The only permanent members are david mitchell, rob brydon, and lee mack. Everyone else are guests. However, some guests appear many times. Bob Mortimer has appeared a bunch.
@@mareau2193 yeah yeah I know, I just meant I didn't know he appeared on the show (as a guest) hahahaha, but thanks anyways
Surely Jason actually doing the act actually just tells them it's the truth.
It was pretty silly getting him to do it because it was clear that he could actually do it, even if not as well as Rob.
I mean, he could always try to do it worse than what he actually can, that's all part of the game
Yeah, it gave the game away. Like saying that you can juggle, _demonstrating the fact_ and asking whether they think you can juggle or not.
Agree they should have had to give their answer before he actually did the trick.
Wait till you see the one where they give Lee the dice
Never a skill I have considered, but just as I saw Sheldon Cooper do throat singing on Big Bang, this looks like something pointless I should pick up haha
If it’s a skill or talent then it’s always true so they then do it
Must be brutal to hear from someone you looked up to be told you never tried it before
Sounds like a different variant. Limited but not bad. Certainly fine for small parties.

Some of his impressions are not thet good. Emperors clothes etc
Rob misused 'prevaricating'. He meant procrastinating.
David Mitchell is that you?
Why would you even think that? He is prevaricating, i.e. being evasive and trying to distract or play for time. Procrastinating, apart from "cras" meaning "tomorrow" in Latin, is about delaying work one should be doing in favour of something else. He isn't delaying because of what might be perceived as lazyness, as would be the case with procrastination - he is instead delaying to wiggle out of it or give him self more time, which is virtually a textbook definition of prevarication.
@@DrZaius3141 Context. Makes no sense for Rob to call someone a liar WHILE THEY'RE TELLING THEIR STORY. It's inappropriate... and he's never done it before or since.
@@qwe1231 Prevaricating does not imply lying, it only implies that someone is avoiding to answer a question. Curbing that and moving the show along is exactly the job of the host. Context does indeed matter and those two words both refer to delaying something but their difference lies within the reason for said delay. The reason is very obvious here and leads to 'prevaricating' being the correct word.
I hope Ron meant "procrastinating". not "prevaricating" as the whole point of the show is to tell whether the contestants are doing the latter or not.
That Manford accent is grating.
How the hell does Jason manford get work? He's not a good comic, he's not funny, I don't get it?
Because that's You're opinion and there are millions of others with different opinions, Likes and dislikes!
It is a stupid one because he literally did it right there. It has to be true, unless he just did it out of nowhere and a few hours of trying has led me to believe it is actually quite hard to do.
