Bob Mortimer: Local Legend | Would I Lie To You? 

The dismantling of David Mitchell's sanity by Bob is the best side plot in British tv history

I see Bob Mortimer, I click

I'd never seen the first one! It's like discovering there's another Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book!

I love that Bob is always on Lee’s team purely to torture David Mitchell 😂

I was really waiting for Bob to say "this is Steve, his last name is Bytheway."

I’m here from Brazil to say Bob’s legendary status has reached far beyond English-speaking territories. For better or worse.

"I won his appendix in a bet" is the most Bob Mortimer sentence ever, which is saying something after what Bob has said before

“It’s like picking bits of pollen off a mouse’s handkerchief “ Shakespeare’s got nothing on that line 😂😂.

Putting Bob opposite David and not Lee was a series defining decision. Brilliant.

Bob confusing AI with A1 is my new favourite thing.

The Bob Mortimer Supercut really needs to be edited in chronological order. I want an hour of Mortimerian tales with David Mitchell slowly unraveling as opposed to this one where he's at his most broken and we slowly see him become mentally well.

One of the things I love about Bob is his generosity. When Lee or David makes a quip he loves it and laughs so naturally. It's a lovely characteristic.

Gary Cheeseman, aka 'Sniper's Dream.' You know it's coming because you've watched this clip a dozen times, but it's still hilarious.

'Ah shit, here we go again.' ~David Mitchell, probably

I can't believe there were three Bob stories I'd never seen. It's better than finding $50 down the back of the sofa. I watch his clips over and over.

I think whenever Bob comes in the writers say, "Let's not bother making anything up for him, just let him tell us a few dozen stories we can add."

Love him or hate him (though why would you?), but everyone has to agree: the man has lived not just survived and has stories to tell.

Bob Mortimer.... living rent free in David Mitchell's head for 10 years now.

In all the years of watching Bob on WILTT and all the clips in YT, I have never seen that first one! It was like a hilarious unicorn popped up to cheer up my day/week/year

“Witches hate gardening, wizards hate plumbing. So we knew it was a female residence” Bob Mortimer is so incredible, he’s one of the funniest humans in the world. All the while he’s telling everyone the truth with these unbelievable lines

"Gary Cheeseman was a big lad, a very big head, a sniper's dream they used to call him" is the funniest thing ive EVER heard. I replay this bit everytime

“Local legend?” Even here in the states I consider him and his stories LEGENDARY!

12:12 "Go on do it to me" -David Mitchell

Bob has genuinely broke David and I’m here for it

"Like fingerprints on an abandoned handrail" is so good I can't even.

I've lost count how many times I've watched these. I see Bob Mortimer and I click. The man's a national treasure

I love the series arc of Bob being the only person who's been able to defy David's realms of sanity and logic. He's essentially David's kryptonite. 😂

The production staff must have so much fun interviewing Bob to come up with statements for the cards.

That guy has had one hell of a life.

This video is less about Bob and more about David's slipping sanity, lol.

A rabbits tear in a petrol spill, genius😂

“Remember, remember the 5th of November, light up the sky with Standard Fireworks.” A well known advert at the time so I knew there was a ring of truth about Bob’s story 😅

"As we all know, Lee, witches hate gardening, wizards hate plumbing."

I'm waiting for an episode when bob reads out his card, and David just takes out a coin to flip and says heads it's true, tails it's a lie

"I am NOT okay." --David Mitchell 🤣

"I hope that's all the information you need." 🤣🤣 "A sniper's dream they called him."🤣🤣🤣 I adore Bob!!

I want Bob Mortimer to know that I have been watching him from Bangladesh for the past 14-15 years and I absolutely love him!

Always a good day when a new Bob Mortimer WILTY clip VT pops up.

The first clip shows a new kind of Mortimer storytelling: throw us off with a lot of unbelievable but superfluous details and then offer up an ending just anti-climactic enough to be perfectly plausible. This should drive David ever more crazy. (Also, BTW, David was the only one who thought to make a pun out of "still" in Still Barry. Not even Lee thought of that.)

Bob is a king of storytelling.

Best Bob Mortimer collection so far, but how did I never see that first one from the Covid era? Strap in, David!

Dont know too many famous Brits over here in Texas, but Bob Mortimer I know and love as a treasure! I'm so grateful we get to watch these clips over and over and over and they never get old.

Even tho I know there is no doubt that I have seen every clip in this compilation many, many times. I am going to enjoy it just as much as if I had never seen it before. Bob is a legend.

I've gotta say, I've watched Bob Mortimer's WILTY clips enough times to memorize most of them... I appreciate his ability to tell stories and entertain the people around him more now than before somehow. He's such a gem.

I thought I had seen all the WILTY fabulous Bob appearances, but there were a couple of new ones in here, thank you!

Everytime I watch compilations of Bob's tales on WILTY the more I am convinced he's actually a Discworld character who got displaced to Earth. 😂

I think that the overnight marathon to sleep during a film may have been the story which broke David 😂

I bet he's a fantastic grandpa/uncle! The stories always sound so plausible. And, as always runs through David's mind, he has had an interesting life.

Just heard this incredible new story from Bob the first time.....He just lived a different life from anyone else on this planet thus far, and hopefully continue to do so into the future too, and regale us with his story telling. The only person I have come across whose fantasy meets reality ...

32:21 How I wish the physicist guy was there when Bob described the degree of an angle with "quack" vs "fox".

The chemistry between david and bob is so excellent.

The way Bob covers his face with his hands when he’s laughing at his own story.

I’ve watched Bob Mortimer’s clips so many times and they never get old 😂 I could listen to his stories all day, they always make me smile

Bob’s different similes for his distant memories is just absolutely hilarious. “They’re like fingerprints on an abandoned handrail” 😂 “it’s like picking pollen off a mouse’s handkerchief” just genuinely hilarious

“The moon hadn’t been attached to mains power” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bob is the best. I hope he's on the next season.

David's mini breakdown at the end of Bobs first was hilarious.

If Bob Mortimer wrote a book of his life experiences it would be a best seller!

Hahahaha the "we put a bit of urine on it" joke always catches me off-guard when I rewatch these ahahaha its such an insane side-note

That man is a legend 😂😂😂

Many years ago I was a manager in a tech store in Kent and Jim Moir [Vic Reeves] and Bob came into the shop. Both were in bouyant mood and Bob was kettle buying. He handed over his credit card. My administrator asked him the name on the card [there was a bit of a security issue going round] and he replied in a quiet but serious tone, "Mr Robert Mortimer." Everybody burst out laughing. He didn't find it funny at all [and why should he?], but he looked around and Jim was giggling and people were leaning against counters and shelves or doubled over. Eventually he giggled too. Then he looked back at the administrator, and she had kept her straight face until his wide grin sent her over the top too. NIce memory.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing Bob’s face in here.

Now that we've heard about Harry Harriman (?) more than once on this show - I really want them to bring him on the show as a special guest 😅

The first one 🤣🤣🤣 David losing his marbles almost with the story being the truth… I’m living for Bobs ridiculous stories ending up to be the truth and David’s reactions of them being true 👍🏼🙌🏼👏🏼🤣🤣🤣 And even more when they wind up David a bit more just for fun 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for the almost hour full of Bobs entertaining stories of truth or sometimes lies 👏🏼🥰

David's eyebags get more visible as the interaction with Bob gets longer

I love that Bob giggles like a little boy.

When people ask who you’d like to have dinner with if you can pick anyone alive, Bob is my first choice. (And I’m an American!)

6:34 - The gas canisters came into it because that’s why he cut off the kiss due to the impending danger. Which then set off cougar woman. Which then prompted the fleeing long walk journey to Newcastle to see Tommy by The Who.

0:12 David laughing after realizing the predicament he’s in, and going “Oh, God!” is a great way for this compilation to start, especially for those of us who’s seen many of David v Mortimor WILTY clips!

“Sniper’s dream” gets me every time.

The resigned "go on, do it to me" gets me every time.

A1 was the film with Jude Law. The Will Smith film Lee's thinking of is 1, Robot.

"We do beg your pardon, but we are in your garden" must be made a teenage anthem. I died.

Bob Mortimer´s stories, true or not, is freakin´ brilliant!! 😁... 👍

I watch these episodeson a regular basis because Bob makes me laugh every time I watch him, his delivery is so very funny.

He has an utterly and brilliantly bonkers mind! 😂

Thank you so very much for uploading this compilation. After the year Bob had, so many issues with his health, we never know how many more times Bob will be on the panel. These are priceless.

Love the dynamic between Bob and David. Its Chaos vs order.

I honestly wish I had Bob's life, it's absolutely incredible!

David Mitchell is pure comedy gold. A genius.

There were a few here that I had not seen before! Thank you!

Bob is a surreal genius, a real funny man. Loved him for decades

Pork Chop Johnson wasn't there I'm shocked,haha

I wish I had grown up knowing Bob. His whole life has just been funny.

I googled the cockroach king and it's definitely true 😭🤣

I was at the dentist this week getting a filling and I was laid back wondering whether Bob would do a better job than my dentist… 🤣🤣🤣

Local? That man is an international treasure!

New Bob Mortimer clips that I'll watch 20 times over? Yes!

I couldn't imagine Bob representing anyone in court... Thats a big day

This illustrates the Holmes Fallacy like nothing else. I don't believe in crystal skulls, but I'm compelled to believe in the healing power of Bob Mortimer.

Bob Mortimer - an absolutely unique being, born to entertain

I mean, I've seen all of these about 47 thousand times.... I never tire! 😂

Bob tells more fantastical stories that are true than anyone else on this show.

Thank you, was watching a load of Bob over the weekend and was hoping for an up-to-date montage. Perfect.

He's not a local legend. He's a national treasure.

I love watching Bob really appreciate someone else's joke. For example, David's billionaire joke at 10:50. Everyone else on the panel is listening for David to continue explaining, but the whole concept clicks for Bob so immediately that the opening line is the punchline for him.

I love how Lee is on the team as Bob yet he can not stop commenting on Bob's stories 😂😂

I love these shows so much, I watch them over n over with a permanent grin. Ty so much.

Bob is the best guest on WILTY by far.

Bob Mortimer and Henning are my favs
