"Its like Carrot in a box but for a full show". Perfectly explained young lady lol
Thanks!
Carrot in a box does explain a substantial amount of British comedy panel shows.
Carrot in a box the height and distillation of British comedic competition.
Bob Mortimer on WILTY is the best. His stories are great - there are a couple of compilations which are hilarious. Like all of these type of panel shows it does not matter who wins (even the ones where they actually do scoring) - it is all about being funny.
There's another WILTY clip with David and Victoria (which might be from the same episode) where David claims that when he's annoyed with Victoria he moves the bookmarks around in her books. That one's definitely worth watching!
Yes that clip is truly amazing.
Lee presents a quiz show called the 1% club, he isn't afraid of having a dig at the contestants and visa versa.
Yes that one is brilliant
Victoria's face at the end was priceless: "Wow, I really don't know Lee's wife at all!" haha
David Mitchell and Lee Mack are the regular "captains" on WILTY. Victoria Coren-Mitchell, David's wife, hosts what is probably one of the most intelligent (or most confusing) British quiz shows - 'Only Connect'.
She is or was a professional poker player (she's won a lot of money playing poker).
Keep watching and you will see her on 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown eventually.
This is what is was going to comment.
I love Only Connect.
It's worth noting that Victoria wasn't just a poker player, she was the first woman to win an event on the European Poker Tour and the first person of any gender to win the EPT Main Event twice (2006 & 2014). Only one other person has achieved this: Mikalai Pobal of Belarus in 2012 & 2019.
She is also a prolific writer, she has written books on a number of subjects (including her exploits at the Poker World Series in Las Vegas) she is the daughter of a the famous (U.K.) journalist and humorist Alan Coren and her brother Giles Coren is also seen regularly on TV presenting various programmes. Victoria is seen as a very intelligent and somewhat highbrow personality, but is also a very talented humorist herself, married to David Mitchell who is a U.K. comedian/Writer/actor and many other things too. The have two children (girls) and live in Hammersmith, London.
Lee Mack is an excellent comedian - I would check out the Royal Wedding, Would I Lie to You clip. It's just as hilarious.
I think that episode is worth saving until you are thoroughly familiar with the show, just to get the full impact.
Lee Mack. An absolutely brilliant comedian. So hilarious 😂
Victoria Coren's father Alan Coren was a journalist and humourist and one of the funniest people I've ever heard, sadly no longer with us. He was a regular guest on the BBC radio show 'The News Quiz' and I always new it would be a good one when he was on. Victoria has definitely inherited her humour from her dad.
Lee typically gets trolled by the producers with elaborate lies on his card that he has to improvise.
Wilty is a consistently funny show.
Try to do more if you can.
Great reaction. Don't worry about not knowing all the panel shows, just keep exploring :) Victoria Coren Mitchell is a TV presenter, writer and professional poker player. She's appeared on the show before it was public knowledge that she was dating David Mitchell but nowadays they play on the same team and we love them.
They very rarely appear together on the same panel show because they don't want to become a "celebrity couple"
Bob Mortimer is the absolute best on 'Would I lie to you'. I'm not sure there are any short enough for a video, but you will love him and his stories.
Absolutely. Bob is the master of the game. Every single story he tells sounds so outlandish that it can't possiblhy be true, but a significant proportion of them are absolutely true, so you end up in this weird situation where basically *anything* he says *might* be true, regardless of how odd and strange it sounds. He is a national treasure.
All the clips of his visits are actually on YT to watch, Alan - but that only makes them maybe 10 mins long at most . . . good enough for any reaction though - as long as you get them in the right order to avoid any spoilers . . .
I love Henning Wehn on the show too!
David Mitchell's wife was a pro poker player earning $2.5 million.
She's a funny woman - her dad was a comic novelist and editor of a comedy magazine. She comes from comedy royalty and is inhumanly intelligent.
You must watch Bob Mortimer on this show as he beats them every time - his stories are phenomenal 🤣
If you watch more Would I Lie To You, you'll see a lot more David Mitchell and Lee Mack. They're the two opposing team captains who are on every episode. The other 4 players cycle around through other British celebrities, but those two are on every episode. They built a professional relationship together over the years the show has run. When it was a new show they were just two independent comedians who weren't really associated with each other, but it's been going for years and now the two know each other quite well, and are good at detecting each other's "tells". Their comedy styles are different but complement each other. David finds the funny in things by being pedantic and seeing the weird illogical quirks other people gloss over and don't notice. Lee is quick witted and can invent silly details out of thin air very fast.
Victoria (the other Mitchell here) is a very smart woman with her own media career. In the early seasons of WILTY David was still single. In the later seasons they were married. You can track it by looking for the telltale beard. He got the beard when they started dating. (not sure if that's a coincidence or not).
If you want to see more Would I Lie To You, the Kevin Bridges' Horse episode is usually recognized as one of the best stories on the show. The entire panel has completely lost it by the end of the story, which got more and more silly with each cross-examination. (And keep in mind the show is edited, so it probably actually went on even longer than it looks.)
Apparently it lasted for a very long time indeed in the studio.
That will always be my absolute favourite!
Without context, this seems easier... but because Lee is a team captain and is on every week, a really small percentage of his stories are true and they all sound ridiculous. This was pretty much a rarity. David Mitchell is a very funny chap also, generally with faultless logic and starred in Peep Show. His wife, Victoria, is known as quite a successful professional poker player, broadcaster and game show host.
Love watching you two react to our British humour ...keep up the great posts
Lee Mac is recognised as the fastest thinking comedian on the UK circuit. David Mitchell is the other team captain, Victoria Coren Mitchell is his wife. She hosts a very highbrow quiz show called Only Connect. She is also a professional poker player. Very intelligent woman. :)
I love these quizzes. remember the one where James Acaster had a nemesis ? 😂
I hate him with all my heart.
Victoria Coren-Mitchell has referred to Lee Mack as one of the smartest men on television. She was neither lying nor joking.
Seeing Lee, is always a Treat, very very very funny guy.
I swear it's the first time I've seen Lee Mack telling the truth in WILTY. xDDDD
A great reaction! I live in England and Lee Mack is by far the quickest, cleverest comedian in the UK.
You need to see the Lee Mack skit about spelling Irish names, it's hilarious.
would I lie to you is one of the best British shows, any Bob Mortimer clip is brilliant and of course the Kevin Bridge's horse story
Would highly recommend Bob Mortimer tales on WILTY
David Mitchell, Lee Mack and Bob Mortimer are always good
'The Mitchells' really only refers to the fact that they are a married couple, David Mitchells comedy partner was only ever Robert Webb (who appears far less on panel shows, but does do so on occasion). They are most noteable in their very successful Radio and TV Sketch shows _That Mitchell and Webb Sound/Look_ respectively, and Sitcom _Peep Show._
Victoria Coren Mitchell (the fact that she understandably kept her maiden name as a part of her married name gives this next part away) had/has her own notoriety as well, she was already the longtime host of a relatively popular daytime (standard) quiz show _Only Connect,_ a somewhat cerebral quiz show, which she chairs with a similar witty style to Davids character, it's a serious game-show but she often leans towards the irreverent at times in her hosting. She is also a professional Poker player and has presented/guested on a large number of other shows on Radio an TV since the early 90's.
Lee and David are irriplaceable. I couldn't watch it without them.
I`d never heard of this chap until about a month ago, when I saw him presenting a Saturday night ITV Game Show over here called ( I think ) The 1% Club. Yep, he`s quick with his wits.
I used to have one of those terracotta chicken pots back in the 80s. It was brilliant. The lid was shaped like a sitting chicken too. Very posh at the time 🙂
David Mitchell STARS in "Upstart Crow" tv show. He plays Shakespeare.
Thank you for sharing. 🇬🇧👵
David is the only one to guess true, shows how much he knows him
Hello Ethan and Angela. I always think of "Call My Bluff" which was like this when I was a kid. A view of it would show how these shows changed over time.
I previously commented on Wandering Ravens about the southern suburban comedy show David Mitchell did feeling more foreign to me as a northerner than US TV shows, but this could have been that I grew up watching a lot of US TV, like a lot of UK folk my age.
Victoria Coren-Mitchell is the, very clever and witty, daughter of Alan Coren a writer, humorist and satirist. She is a chip of the old block in that she is quick with sophisticated wit.
I remember watching Alan Coren on TV when I was young. He always struck me as being a very nice man with a very kind face.
@@renejean2523 same here. Friendly to panel guests, whilst brutal to government ‘failures’ and the like (but always polite).
It’s been the same team captains for 137 episodes. I don’t know how the can still think of lies any more! (Or, truths that seem like lies.)
Don’t think I’d want to sell them insurance.
Lee Mack has been called the quickest wit in British comedy, and with good reason.
It's not a new concept for a show there used to be one called "Call My Bluff" I don't know how far back, but I remember it in black & white...
The show is a comedy show, whilst telling a story (true or false) people will make jokes, but it's just generally understood that they're joking when they say things as silly as "I'm not even married" or "did/ I forget to mention her mother's ashes inside".
other wilty bits you need to watch is: david moving victoria's bookmarks, i once bought a horse and yoghurt in the hadron collider
I think the part that's more like "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" you were referring to was Mock the Week, namely the "Scenes We'd Like to See". WILTY is basically just this plus the round with a special guest and each member of one team claims to know the person and gives a related story, and they have to guess who actually knows them.
When you come over to the U.K., make sure you are on the flight path of the 6.5 minute fly past on the 2nd June, for the jubilee, perhaps St James Park, Green park or Waterloo Bridge? Anytime after 12.30
The mitchells are not a double act. Victoria is a presenter of her own quiz show, newspaper columnist and also a world series poker tournament winner. David, started out on a program called peep show and then later did sketch comedy on mitchell and webb. He has also done several other shows but I will let you look those up.
They might not be a professional double act, but the fact they're married, kinda does make them a double act (of sorts)
my Mum had a terracotta pot like that (also known as a Roman pot). They do pick up the flavours of what you cook in them
Victoria hosts her own quiz show called Only Connect, and has also been on Taskmaster which is where you might have seen her. She's also been on Have I Got News For You.
WILTY is consistently high grade funny. One of the regular members of Lee Mack's team is Rob Mortimer. Rob tells the most fantastical stories that can't possibly be true, and they mostly turn out to be true. However, his dry deadpan manner gets them over the line almost every time. David Mitchell is always getting it wrong with Rob's stories. It's worth chasing up other episodes and finding some of Rob's appearances.
Bob Mortimer?
Lee Mack and Victoria Coren Mitchell have both been contestants on taskmaster too😊
David Mitchell is sat next to his missus/wife.
You're in for an absolute treat if you watch his stand up!
David Mitchell and Victoria coren Mitchell are husband and wife comedians and next to them was Greg James from BBC Radio 1 breakfast show
Hi guys,if you like Lee Mack he does a tv show,it's called Not going out,cheers Steve in the UK
wasnt the clip i was expecting
I love this one 😄 it’s probably the only one I’ve seen where lee Mack was in fact telling the truth
Lee mack is so good
Victoria Coren Mitchell is a well respected professional Poker player and David Mitchell's wife.
yes Lee is a very clever man.
There is a US version of WILTY now
You should watch his 'Not Going Out' comedy.
Lee Mack had his own TV show (No Going Out) as well as a stand-up comedy routine.. but he's very well suited to these panel shows, he's a regular captain on WILTY and 8 out of 10...
They throw small jokes in that aren't true but it's the main story that they guess if it's true or not
If you liked this one, you should watch the epic WILTY episode with Kevin Bridges
"Did Kevin Bridges buy a Horse?"
It is funniest episode of WILTY I have ever seen, with Kevin, Lee Mack and David Mitchell all absolutely excelling themselves.
Victoria Coren-Mitchell is a TV presenter - not a comedienne, and also plays poker semi-professionally. Her main show at the moment is the TV quiz show Only Connect.
Lee Mack is fantastic bouncing off David Mitchell.
You must check out Bob Mortimer on WILTY.
David and his wife are not normally on the programme together but David and Lee are the regular captains 💕
Would i lie to you is very similar to an old British game show called Call My Bluff which aired between 1965 to 1988. In that show, a very unusual word (that no one had heard of) would be given by a contestant with what the word means & the other contestants had to guess (after asking questions) whether the word was True or Bluff. 🇬🇧❤🇺🇸
And for many years Alan Coren (Victoria’s Father) was one of the team captains.
@@Bcleah I didn't know that. What a coincidence that i mentioned Call My Bluff! 👍🇬🇧
There is now an American version of WILTY, which apparently is fairly decent. I've not yet had a chance to see it myself.
WILTY is the perfect example of a British panel show: simply a Victorian parlour game on television.
I've seen a few clips of the American version, and it's typically American, trying as hard as you can to win, at the expense of actually being funny.
Hey guys, don't know if you're interested in adding more sports to the reaction itinerary, but I would love to see you guys react to some pro darts. It's a massive sport over here in the UK and parts of Europe and it's pretty addictive once you get into it.
I'll include some links to some good introductory videos below in case you want to check them out. I have some recommendations for other videos and longer games if you'd like as well.
czcams.com/video/gXlXNshaVzk/video.html - This video explains the rules of 501 darts, the standard competitive format, and some of the terms you'll hear when watching a game
czcams.com/video/zvukgCfnzFU/video.html - Some of the best 9 dart finishes in history. A 9 dart finish is notoriously hard to get. Probably the best way of equating it is a no-hitter in baseball
czcams.com/video/sh0sJQDfYjU/video.html - some cool moments that show how great darts crowds can be
czcams.com/video/5A7K8RVyj_0/video.html - A great game in a shorter format than usual, bit easier to get into than the longer format games
Loving the content guys, keep up the good work :)
You guys now have to do Bob Mortimer on would I lie to you, the best.
So funny 🤣🤣🤣
Please do more WILTY reactions. You need to experience the madness of Bob Mortimer.
He's 'the' ace raconteur .
Lee & David & there wives are good friends. You’ve gotta check more out. One of the funniest shows, it’ll have you in stitches. That’s David’s wife next to him 😉
Please watch some more of WILTY, it is hilarious, Bob Mortimer or Henning Wehn is a good start. And yes, Victoria is indeed Davids wife.
Greg Davies has some ridiculous stories too.
Victoria Coren Mitchell, David's wife, chairs the most highbrow panel game on tv 'Only Connect.' She is also a professional poker player having won $2.5 million in poker tournaments.
I worry for his wife, she is unable to tell the difference between baked marmite and chicken - the chicken they had eaten in the past must have been very ill birds that stunk something rotten if it had the same odour as the Marmite he'd baked," at a high heat", so much of it he had to scrape then sandpaper it off...Dearie me, they are as brilliant as ever ye WILTY crew, both of your reactions, THATS how good that show is, you'll love Bob Mortimer and the Hand Lion. more shrieks of disbelief/howls of laughter to come!! Mrs Mitchel was and I think still is,a successful professional poker player, first woman in Europe to win so many serious poker tours, , she had her first story published when she was 14, very smart very funny. They have some vids, her an hubby David, called at Home with the Mitchells, just them chatting on a sofa. Quiet, cosy and sometimes v funny
Some you should check out.
Did Kevin Bridges accidently buy a horse
Did Rhod Gilbert pay for Tapas with his car
Any of Bob Mortimer's ones
Did Lee mack get invited to the Royal wedding.
English humour, so deadpan that the real question is - (True - Sarcasm - Lying)?
lt's interesting that when Americans react to WILTY the result really matters to them. ln Britain nobody cares about whether it's true or not - the format is just vehicle for the participants to get some laughs.
@@kitsuneneko2567 To the extent you miss the point of the game.
You guys need to see David Mitchell in That Mitchell and Webb Look. There’s a ton of their skits available and are mostly short. Definitely check out The Surprisingly Adventures of Sir Digby Chicken Caesar.
If someone suggests a video that's too long, you can always split it up into as many parts as you like!
David Mitchell's wife Victoria Coren is one of the top Poker Players, she's been in a few USA tournaments and won once or twice.
Victoria is a very high stakes poker player amongst other things.
You should go find David Mitchell in Upstart Crow
the Mitchell's she has her own quiz show for Brainiac's on tv called only connect and she is the first female world poker champion he had his own comedy show called the Mitchell and web show plus he has been in many others.. lee mack has his own show called not going out one of the longest running comedy shows
'Steptoe and Son' ran for longer than 'Not Going Out' has so far, so did ''Till Death us do Part', a shame it can't be rebroadcast today, as is illegal under modern anti-racist legislation. Clips can be found on CZcams, possibly whole episodes. Both were recorded infront of a live audience so no 'canned' laughter.
@@tonys1636 no your wrong steptoe 1962 to 1965, followed by a second run from 1970 to 1974 in colour. till death 1965 to 1975. not going out started in 2006 and is still going plus now there are 100s channels not like 3-4 when Steptoe was on
if you like lee mack you should take a look at the show he wrote and stars in called not going out ,very funny
You should react to Only Connect.
React to a classic UK one off series called "Max and paddy road to nowhere" it's a classic spin off from another show called phoenix knights, very classic England comedy
Have you guys ever reacted to Taskmaster?
Just look up lee Mack and David Mitchell's best of from this show. You should also do the same for Bob Mortimer
react to a comedian called peter kay, "The tour that didnt tour" uk legend everyone had this on dvd
czcams.com/video/jUhKrHvTO7M/video.html
Yes the basic thing has to be true, but whether every detail has to be true is unsettled, no written rule here, well the funnier the better.
And the natural rule that to lie most convincingly there helps to have an element of truth/familiarity.
Lee mack stand up is good
you should react to Stewart Lee - General Ratko Mladic and Twitter. though seeing the name 'lee mack' reminded me of that video (because he is mentioned) Stewart lee is my fav british comedian. he is a funny fker but just different because he tends to break the fourth wall.
You two should move to England, I get the sense you'll feel right at home there.
You should react to full episodes of WILTY, 8OO10CDC and Taskmaster!
You should watch full episodes, and just clip them up yourselves.
Hi guys have you checked out Kevin bridges, scottish comedian
The reason why Lee Mack goes into overdrive and creates a very thick veil of confusion around his story, is probably because Victoria is on the opposing team and as a former semi-pro poker player, she's really good at spotting when someone is bluffing or not. :)
"I don't think him with another woman was true"
God why is it so painful watching people react to these 🤦♂
