I'm an American and I remember watching clips of the UK sketch show as a kid, we loved it! That's why I was so excited for Lee Mack to be on Taskmaster, but it seems most others knew him from wilty.
Another one you have to watch with James Acaster is the Christmas one. Both parts of his is funny, especially the guest appearance. I guarantee you won’t regret it
Great reaction. I would suggest "Claudian Chicanery - Claudia Winkleman on Would I Lie to You? [HD] [CC-NL,TR]". Its a compilation of her appearances on WILTY and she's brilliantly funny.
Thanks Mystery! That sounds great no one had suggested Claudia before and she's great. I'll pop it on the list and we'll have a look! Cheers for the suggestion!
I would reccomend 2 wilty clips. "Victoria doesn't know this..." David Mitchell share a story of what he does to his wife when she does something he doesn't like, when the wife is sitting next to him. The second clip is Lee Mack about a Terra pot!
When I was at school (in the UK) back in the early '90s we used to hide open bottles of milk in people's lockers/studies/common rooms in places where you wouldn't find them. Fast forward a week or 2 and the smell was terrible and it was most hilarious when people couldn't figure out why and couldn't find the milk for ages. It got bad at points as it created a real back & forth and the stink of off, curdled milk in general just got too much. It was kind of like a milk version of a dirty bomb, a long form stink bomb.
I blame your channel for my addiction to this show! I am now hooked! 😊 More of James (he had 3 appearances so far) and Bob Mortimer and also Pitch Meetings! PM is where I found you. More power.
Hahaha Thanks for the kind words Nathaniel! Great to hear we introduced you to WILTY, it's pure comedy gold! There is always more James Acaster in the works haha, and you'll be pleased to know we are about to chip away at Bob Mortimer's two big compilation videos, so plenty of WILTY goodness ahead! I hope we keep finding random comedians from all corners of the world so we can all share the laughs together.. I've already been introduced to some hilarious youtube clips I otherwise probably would have never found without doing this channel. I'm hoping we get an Avatar 2 pitch meeting this week, if so I'm moving it straight to the top of the list haha.
Yes Alan! I think it only lasted 2 short seasons but in my mind it felt like it was around a lot longer. The sign language interpreter sketch still makes me chuckle when I think about it!
Actually I admit over time I forgot the show. Then I saw a DVD set at my local library I think. The best of the Sketch Show. Something like that. Oh yeah. A memory. Blast from the past. Tim Vine as well as Lee Mack. Kitty Flanagan. Three men and three women ? Now over 20 years ago ! What the !?@#
@@alanburge2725 It's amazing that it's over 20 years old! I think I'm going to track down a few highlights from the show to react to, will be a nice trip down memory lane!
Just discovered this channel and this is the third WILTY clip I've watched you watch. The Aussie bloke on the right (I haven't learned their names yet), seems very good at this game. He's gotten all three right so far. He has a 'Winkleman' rate of success. Maybe the Bob Mortimer videos will bring that average down a bit.
Haha thanks! I'm the Aussie on the right (Michael) and have definitely had my fair share of incorrect answers too as you will soon see.. I think it's safe to safe Bob Mortimer humbles even the best WILTY players :D Who is your favourite WILTY guests? Mine are Bob and James Acaster for their stories, but Claudia for the sheer skill at deceit.
@@filmslate - Hi, Michael. I think I've binge-watched *all* of your WILTY videos now and I'd say, though I haven't been keeping count, that Blake does pretty well but *you* have a much higher than average strike rate. Not Bradmanesque, perhaps, but certainly Allan Border at his best. You have a very good analytical mind. You are going to *love* David Mitchell as you watch more of this show. I enjoy watching your process of applying logic and reasoning to your decisions. Sometimes it's no more than an educated hunch, I'm sure. I will leave it to others to recommend all the classic stories, but there is so much more than just those. Oftentimes a guest (not lived in the UK for 20 years, so many 'celebrities' are unknown to me now) will just come out with a *great* joke or story, or Lee's and David's analysis is the fun part. Or David's priceless rants and Lee's ridiculous lies when he just gives up and goes full on comedy mode. And of course, Rob's impressions and insults. You will definitely enjoy Miles Jupp's personality, I'm sure. There are quite a few others that come to mind, but you will discover them soon enough. The whole show is a treasure trove of joy. If WILTY was a sport, Claudia would be the world champion, without a doubt. I remember watching the Sketch Show. The only sketch I remember is the rendition of California Dreamin' with Kelsey Grammar in it. Talking of which, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd wager Frasier is one of your favorite US sitcoms. Keep 'em coming!
@@renejean2523 Thanks again for the kind words Rene! As you can see from the channel, WILTY is definitely our favourite go-to show, so you should expect at least 3-4 clips from there a week :) I can imagine from the direction these videos are going, we are going to get so over the top with analysing the lies that we'll start looking into even their body language haha! I'll be sure to check out some Miles stories! I haven't seen much of him at at, though I can picture him losing his mind laughing on Countdown over something Joe was doing :D And I don't mind a bit of Frasier haha! If we were having the conversation of best late 90s/early 00s sitcoms, there is definitely a Top 3 placement for Frasier. How'd you guess?
@@filmslate - Thanks for the reply. I guessed you like Frasier because I've already got a good idea of what makes you laugh. And you're smart. I don't want to be unnecessarily derogatory to anyone, but I've never met a stupid person that *liked* Frasier. Perhaps when you have run through all the classic compilations, you could react to some *whole* episodes. There are really very few weak episodes throughout the run of the show. Having said that, has anyone suggested Sharon Osbourne's story? It was actually quite unsavory and painted her in a bad light. The only downer I can think of.
Thanks for the kind words again Rene! Yep Frasier is great (I'm team Niles all the way). Now that is a spin-off we all deserved haha. Sharon Osbourne was on the show? That does seem like an odd choice... but often those unlikely panellists can be the best! I'll stay clear of her episode though, if it ever comes up.. I don't need to tarnish the show with anything unsavory!
Yes, parents of primary school children join in on sports days for the purposes of a wheelbarrow race - which is *exactly* what Gabe described. Obviously it turned out she was lying, but that wasn't the right reason to doubt that story.
No one ever seems to notice, because he didn't mention it I guess, but the photo at the end, definitely replaced some smaller items with Brussel sprouts
Just had this recommended to me. Anyway, I'm a fan of The Sketch Show and liked was it Jim Tavares or something like that. Always remember this one sketch, pop "the sketch show toilet teamwork" into the TH-cam search bar 👍
Hey Dave, thanks for checking out the channel 😁 Jim was amazing, I remember reading somewhere that the other performers on the show said he was the key to writing most of the sketches and had a genius comedic mind. Thanks for the suggestion, you've inspired me.. I may grab a few sketches from the show including toilet teamwork and put together a reaction video haha. Much appreciated 👍👍
@@filmslate well I've subbed now, seen a few more WILTY VODs and as much as the content speaks (and laughs) for itself, you guys add to it, so keep it up and if you want any recommendations for any other British stuff, let us know. I lived in Australia for 4 years so I get your type of humour
@@daveworrall1151 Appreciate the kind words Dave! We are having a blast making these videos and home we can add some value along the way. Always keen for recommendations.. most coming through are WILTY and Pitch Meetings so we are very interested in new shows or segments to check out, especially British comedy! Looking forward to your suggestions! Which part of Australia did you stay in?
@@filmslate Blockbusters was an 80s quiz show where students had a 'game board' of hexagons with random letters in them. The letters started a answer to a question. One player chose letters to get a vertical line and a team of two had a longer horizontal line to form. Selecting letters could block your opponent. It was a mildly entertaining show but in the hands of James...
@@CLMonster1 Cool! Do they always have comedians as a guest with the students or was this one a special occasion? I'll be sure to check it out, anything with Acaster in I'm on board with haha. This is what I love about countdown, the mix of comedy and games so this will be a fun reaction. Any other stand out comedians on the show or just the Acaster ep? Cheers!
@@filmslate This was a celebrity special. Dara Ó Briain is the host (Mock the Week) and the two others he's against are Jordan Banjo (dance group Diversity) and Scarlett Moffatt (Gogglebox) who are TV personalities
Suggesting that you react to Tommyinnit or Slimecicle! Tommyinnit makes Minecraft videos focused entirely on humour, while Slimecicle does more general video games. Both are incredibly funny and are friends so you can see Slimecicle a lot in Tommyinnit’s videos, highly recommend!
Thanks for the suggestions Axe! I haven't heard of either of these channels so I'll take a look :) thanks for the suggestion! Is Tommyinnit funny in general, or only funny to people who have played Minecraft? Haha I may not get any of the references!
"Cabbaged me to my face" just means he did it in person rathen than like the other times when no one was necessarily there to observe the reaction.
Thanks for clearing that up James! That's what I figured it meant, it just didn't click with Blake :D
I'm an American and I remember watching clips of the UK sketch show as a kid, we loved it! That's why I was so excited for Lee Mack to be on Taskmaster, but it seems most others knew him from wilty.
I was in the exact same boat! I saw him live when he toured Australia a few years back purely from my love of Sketch Show haha.
Lee mack is more well known for a show called
Not going out
@@dannystruggles2158 Oh cool good to know! I haven't heard of it before.. is it worth checking out?
@Film Slate yep Tim vine who was in the sketch show is also on the show for the first 5 seasons
@@dannystruggles2158 Oh great.. I'll definitely try to track it down then! Cheers!
Another one you have to watch with James Acaster is the Christmas one. Both parts of his is funny, especially the guest appearance. I guarantee you won’t regret it
Thanks for the suggestion Stacey, I've seen that video pop up on my homepage a few times lately, very keen to watch anything with Acaster! :D

The sketch show was great they had 3 seasons and 1 season in America which was made by kesley grammer and also had Lee mack in it.
You need to find the radio interview James Acaster did about the cabbage story! He goes into way more detail and it's hilarious!
When something collapses under weight it’s buckled or buckling. So his arms collapsed basically.
Thanks for the info Sir Squegg!
I would reccomend 2 wilty clips.
"Victoria doesn't know this..." David Mitchell share a story of what he does to his wife when she does something he doesn't like, when the wife is sitting next to him.
The second clip is Lee Mack about a Terra pot!
Sounds good Borgeus I'll pop them on the list!
Lee and David have knwn eaxh other for 20 years, they cant fool each other any more
Lee Mack as a fast talking jockey is gold. And an alcoholic with an imaginary friend.
Another good clip is "did Kevin Bridges accidentally buy a horse" have a good Christmas and a great new year everyone ✌️
Yes! Haha good news Bobbie, that was one of our first WILTY reaction videos and it was uploaded a couple weeks ago 😁👍

I remember the sketch show. It was excellent.
The distance between London and Aberdeen is almost 900km. Both Glasgow and Aberdeen are in Scotland
I do remember the Sketch Show. Around 2001. It was a funny show. We got it here in Australia too.

Funny! But lees real last name isn't Mack
