Yeah but I always want to know, if he makes up a funny name to get a laugh (which obviously isn’t true) can he still claim the overall story is true? I’m not just aiming this at Bob but I often see the likes of David Mitchell scrutinise certain details of people’s stories that leads me to believe that the rules of the show mean you can’t invent any part of a story that turns out to be true. And as hilarious as Bob is, he clearly invents certain things but most of his stories end up being true!
@@haunter4708 There's a difference in lying and cracking a joke in this show. Lee also says a lot of untrue things in his stories for comedic effect, but since everyone can tell when it's a joke it's still within the spirit of the game. As for Bob's names, it would be the norm to not give out the names of your friends, specially non-celebs, so using made-up names is perfectly fine. Instead of saying "I can't say his name" or "John Doe", why not make the audience laugh?
But what if for some unexplainable quirk of fate, Bob's friends really did have those nicknames. I mean the stories are already unbelievable anyway. Why couldn't he have friends with weird names too.
So these Bob Mortimer clips pop up all the time and I already in my head go “I’m not watching that, I’ve seen it so many times, it’s madness”… then an hour later I finally surface from my WILTY Bob worm hole for the 10th time 🤣
Or when Greg Davies was talking about his friend 'Chinese Dave'. Why was he named 'Chinese Dave'? Greg said "I think it's because he always wore a hat". Bob Mortimer "Well that would be it".
Whenever Bob Mortimer tells a story, I ask myself: At what point does padding a truth with hilarious stories and an unnecessary information become a lie?
I hate to say it, but I agree with you that we are definitely stretching the definition of truth on these (Claudia does it as well). But of course, with Bob's stories I wouldn't change them for the world! 😂
I think this has been said many times before but can Bob get his own show, tales with Bob, telling his stories over the years, I'm not even bothered if they are true or not. My favorite was when Chris Rear put an egg in Bob's bath 😅😅😅
I think if you insert a bunch of lies in there then lie should be the accurate choice. If you've made up 50% of the details that are not true then it's a lie.
WILTY is a great show, would love to see Bob and Vic on the show together, for people who don't know the comedy game show Shooting Stars please check it out, it's also comedy gold !!
I don't know who the first person was to suggest booking Bob Mortimer on this show, but that person deserves a knighthood.
ABSOLUTELY 😂😂
Weirdly, at 5:54 when Rob says "So Bob..." it sounded like 'Sir Bob' and I thought "Bob deserves a knighthood', then I see this as the top comment.
Facts😂
Since he's a celebrated UK comedian, I don't feel it was that brilliant a decision
@@bcayeYou need to get a clue sunshine.
Pulling bits of pollen off a mouse’s handkerchief 😂
The phrases he comes up with are always golden.
Up there with "fingerprints on an abandoned handrail"
@@wajihbec1087 fingerprints*. But yes!
@@anusha8085 ofc! Thank you.
@anusha3085 u really got to spellcheck someone
Rob asking "do you remember any of them?" knowing full well it was about to lead to Bob saying some ridiculous name! 🤣🤣
Yeah, I like how he set that up with a smirk on his face. Bob's nicknames are comedy gold.

@@Chpeler Exactly. If I remember correctly, the first time he did it he made it clear that he was using pseudonyms.

Watching David Mitchell slowly decompose whenever Bob Mortimer takes his turn on WILTY will never ever stop being an awesome sight.
4:47 Smallhead Bob aka Sniper’s Nightmare
They ran a double act 😂
Bob’s the only guest where even his own team questions him and is trying to work out if it’s a lie.
No matter how many times I watch this, "Well we put a bit of urine on it" makes me laugh out loud every single time
It's delivered so well, and I love watching David just crack up instantly
So these Bob Mortimer clips pop up all the time and I already in my head go “I’m not watching that, I’ve seen it so many times, it’s madness”… then an hour later I finally surface from my WILTY Bob worm hole for the 10th time 🤣
*Someone every time Bob is on* : What were some names involved?
Everyone watching: Here we go… 😂
Or when Greg Davies was talking about his friend 'Chinese Dave'. Why was he named 'Chinese Dave'? Greg said "I think it's because he always wore a hat".
Bob Mortimer "Well that would be it".
😂😂😂 Gary Cheeseman - snipers dream. Sergeant Bytheway. Ronnie Omelette 😅😅😅
Bob's tales should be preserved and displayed in museums as a gold standard of humour
Well, a sample of his 💩 is supposed to be displayed in the Isle of Wight. I don't see why his stories couldn't be somewhere
I love the way Rob asks 'Do you remember any of them?' He knows some absolutely outlandish names are about to be uttered.
With that little grin after asking, he knows full well
How would you, without skipping a beat, think of using duck vocalisations as an angle measurement 😂
"Quiffel" I nearly got sick laughing
4:55 :D it's just so funny :D
The same with FOX!
Everytime Bob gives a name I think it either sounds like a children's nursey rhyme or a brunch of Mafia folk
Brunch with the Mafia sounds like one of Bob's stories.
David just cannot beat this man 😂😂😂
Bob: "I once-"
Me: true, it's true
"Cracked an egg into my bath"
Whenever he is on the show its just so watchable. I love his stories true or false
'it's like picking bits of polen of a mouse's hankerchief'
only bob would come up with a sentence like that
This was a good one but I liked him describing his memories as "like fingerprints on an abandoned handrail" better.
@@Galerak1 that one's great too!
@@cfgp@Galerak1 No but for real, I feel like I need to read one of Bob's books - he sounds like he would make a fantastic writer.
Alice is the absolute cutest
Is the story insane? Is it being told by Bob Mortimer? Then it's true.
The one time the story sounded vaguely plausible it was a lie
@@MxCrabthe Owl on the pillow?
He’s an absolute genius isn’t he, just comedy gold.
It's never taken me so long to get through a six-minute video because of all the laughter-induced pausing! 😂🤣
This is my all-time favourite of all of Bob’s fantastical ‘stories’ on WILTY. 🦆🤣
Whenever Bob Mortimer tells a story, I ask myself:
At what point does padding a truth with hilarious stories and an unnecessary information become a lie?

Bringing back Pork Chops Johnson and his back fat later on in the story is just masterful storytelling
Alice's comment "So they were allowed to bring a friend?" is pure gold. So sweet looking but so deadly.
'Do you remember any of them?' always appreciate the 'alley oop' from Rob. legendary show.
Good lord, I could watch Bob tell stories all day.
I think this has been said many times before but can Bob get his own show, tales with Bob, telling his stories over the years, I'm not even bothered if they are true or not. My favorite was when Chris Rear put an egg in Bob's bath 😅😅😅
Lost it at, “It’s like picking bits of pollen off a mouse’s handkerchief.” 😂
I figured that story was true from the title of the video. It fits right in with what we already know about the childhood of ol' Bobby Fever Dream.
And David goes down again :) He can never get Bob (well he did once or twice, but...)
I live on these videos WILTY so please keep them coming!!!
You can't live on these videos alone. You need to eat something.
@@sstills951 I gain sustenance from Lee mack quips.
2:22 the best question to ask Bob Mortimer xD
Alice Levine is absolutely adorable!
If I had a time machine I would go back and just follow bob around whilst he got up to all these crazy things.
"I once had a time traveller follow me around for years, in hopes of them seeing me do something entertaining."
@@pixxie643 did they see you do anything entertaining?
Imagine if someone puts as many Mortimer tales as they can into one script and make a film🤯
I fall asleep listening to wpuld i lie to you compilations.
It’s the quick fire round but no one wants to stop the master surrealist. Even David in his quiet desperation is delighting in Bob’s flights of fancy😅
this was a new bob story for me.
Nine times out of ten his unbelievable stories are true. So I'd never choose "Lie" for Bob.
Brilliant...😅
Bob did it again. Haha poor David 😂
please carry on with these i like watching them and we love you Rob
Bob, I raise a glass of Kiss my Alderman to you.
I now use "quack" and "fox" when explaining the angles of things 😅
Thank God that Officer Bytheway was there to stop him
Note to self….Never ever try to drink a cup of tea and listen to Bob at the same time…
We learn the motivation for Bob's love of soil science....
Bobs method on inserting a bunch of lies into his truths make them devilish to work out.
I think if you insert a bunch of lies in there then lie should be the accurate choice. If you've made up 50% of the details that are not true then it's a lie.
WILTY is a great show, would love to see Bob and Vic on the show together, for people who don't know the comedy game show Shooting Stars please check it out, it's also comedy gold !!
I would have watched this sooner had I known Alice Levine was in it.
I could imagine having a beer with Bob. It'd be a great night.
😂 God knows what would end up happening, it would definitely be funny
What's the current score of David vs. Bob?
We meet again
“but, it’s *Bob*”
This is Bob Mortimer we are talking about. He’ll always beat David Mitchell, and Davi knows it.
Bob’s roommate was a frog kid
I'm sorry we put a bit of WHAT on it?
Bob has a very easy tell. Whenever he makes up silly names for the story it is true😂
Utb
Bob Mortimer has ruined David Mitchell
