Did Lee Mack Really Make This in School? - Would I Lie to You? - Series 5 - Episode 8 - BBC One 

Could you explain the joke?

@@girshin Pretty suer it is as simple as the letters match.

For those that don't know, Broadmoor is a psychiatric institute in England

+Dylan Hansen thank you

To expand on that point, it's a high security psychiatric hospital for criminals convicted of very serious crimes, or people unfit to plead facing charges of very serious crimes.

@@DylanHansenDBH thanks

Funnily enough Anthony Baekland was actually committed at Broadmoor after murdering his mother who raped him. Anthony's grandfather was Leo Baekland who invented modern plastic, namely Bakelite. To top it all off after Anthony was released from Broadmoor he went to New York where he attempted to kill his grandmother. He was sent to Riker's Island this time where he committed suicide in his cell by suffocation using a plastic bag.

I figured it was his accent he was mocking but I am Canadian and I could not tell the difference. :P

sweiland75 Rob has a Welsh accent and Lee Lancashire :)

The ironic thing is that Lee had just spent an entire segment (in this same episode, right before this segment I believe) saying "burr" instead of "bear" during David's teddy bear bit. And then he rags on Rob for saying "yurr" instead of "year"? It also makes absolutely no sense to me, that apparently in welsh accent you pronounce "year" as "yurr", but you pronounce "bear" normally, and in whatever northern region that Lee is from you pronounce "bear" as "burr", but you pronounce "year" normally. Theyre the same fucking sound! Year and Bear are the same! how come you fuck up one but not the other and then you have another guy fucking up the other and not the one! It's mindboggling to me.

GroovingPict "that apparently in welsh accent you pronounce "year" as "yurr"," Not its not apparently, thats how we pronounce it in wales. On the topic of pronouncing things, If you could explain "Bass" the fish, "Base" and "Bass" the music term for me that be great.

GroovingPict The 'ear' in 'year' and 'bear' are not pronounced the same. Year: jɪə / jə Bear: bɛ Year is pronounced as 'ear', Bear is pronouncer as 'air'.

At least you made something even as interesting as a box. I'm doing it at GCSE right now and our product is a BOX. Yes I repeat a box. Possibly one of the most boring things to make, and now we have to do an entire folder of research ect on how to make it first. Fml.

greatepicgaming Lol, that's what I literally spent the whole time doing. Planning how to make something, instead of actually making something. No wonder I never made ANYTHING.

In my Resistant Materials lesson, I barely got any work done. In fact, I think we had to make a wooden nutcracker each, and I was so rubbish at it, my teacher ended up having to do mine for me in one lesson so I could pass it off as my own! xD Like you said, at least Lee got something done!

bert1029 I used to piss about with a soldering iron

We did sod all in resistant materials too. The most interesting thing that happened in 3 years was the teacher showed us a tattoo on her foot.

Rest in peace Rob Kayes, you had a good run

@Mitch Ddhfacetyy ...bro

i thought it was just my school, yrs 7-9 was useless in DT. Only in GCSE Resistant materials did we actually get round to building furniture.

Boby Gandhi oh I was supposed to build stuff, I just never did cause I thought it was a pointless subject

Hours and hours spent hot gluing coins and then running outside to stick them on the floor and watching people try to pick them up loool

I made one thing in DT, imagine a wooden cube without the top panel or the front panel, and then imagine a load of random drawings all over it because I was bored. Teacher said “what is it?!”... I said “a shelf...” I didn’t pass DT.

Reece Turner Same 😂 anything that was ever finished my teacher ended up doing for me lol

Also The Graduate

+SepticSceptic me too :)

Spent a whole year designing a DIY LED flashlight or something and all I made was a container with the LED and batteries thrown in it. Doesnt even work

SepticSceptic Lol..we made a pipe rack !!!

lol i made windchimes, a pencil box, and a box with dovetail joints it was gr8

I made a shelf. Not a case with shelves in it, no no, one single stand alone “shelf”.

I'm an Aussie too :) Being at a girls catholic private school, I used to be so jealous of my friends at other schools who got to do subjects such as woodwork, plastic work and metal work, while I had to do sewing and cooking classes (which I found enjoyable and useful, but I did feel the limited options were a tad sexist). I remember my friend showing me a keyring that she had made that looked exactly like that! It was true all the way for me also!!!! :P

Szaam found it! Thanks dude

most likely a term making it and the rest of the year beforehand planning it. the classes like that like to spend as long as possible doing everything except for making it, because as i'm told, in the industry proper planning is valued over actually making something. or something like that

What’s the show about?

Are you really dead?

I was decent at the cooking part, but sewing machines terrified me. I just imagined the needle going through my finger the whole time. *Shudder*

Yep. It was obvious

Generally I think a 'resistant materials' lesson is more common, which covers a range of materials instead of just plastic

+Toothless We had shop class... but it did include a brief plastic section

For a bunch of privately-educated Oxbridge comedians it sounds weird, as they all obviously were educated for the sole purpose of going to university. If you go to a state comprehensive, you're taught other life skills such as basic handiwork as far fewer people are going to go on to higher education and need taught different things. If you're going to be a joiner, you'd much rather have had been taught woodwork than Latin.

Also if he likes Liverpool he's a top man as well ;)

+Dave Power #6 ha ha...i'm Welsh and i also say yuur, my (so called) friends also smile when i pronounce 'ears' as yuurs...as in "ow long as it been? well donkeys yuurs man" ...

+gixer turbo it's funny though because scousers say yeur too and Lee sounds pretty scouse to me

Lee is defiantly not scouse

Aaron ffs who's he trying to defy?

+Dave Power #6 And then there's Geordies saying "a yaaar"

#firstworldproblems ?

*Sort of. Damn it, I thought only Americans were illiterate...

MegaWarlus don't worry Americans still have outdated english so when they believe they are speaking and writing correctly they still aren't at some points

Rightfully so

@@hoihoi1312 The next time you need a doctor, or go to the hospital, demand that no plastic is used, should work out well I think.

@@foobee2 The thing people are complaining about is single-use plastic. They type that you use once, then throw away and can't be recycled. I honestly can't think of any single-use plastic that is used regularly by hospitals, and virtually all hospitals have special procedures for disposal anyway. Your dumb gotcha simply doesn't work.

@@Ruminations09 hospitals use single-use plastic all the time but ok

Ya

binaway When I was at school girls and boys could take metalwork,woodwork,cookery,sewing/needlework..lots of girls took metalwork and woodwork..NO boys took cookery/needlwork classes.

I took Food Technology, I was one of two boys in the class. I spent most of the lessons concocting scenarios that I would later fap to.

Or, perhaps, she wanted to teach an interesting life skill to people who would not have gained the skill otherwise.

Enforcer why are you telling me?

BarneysGamertag Why would I not?

Enforcer U were just proud that u could understand and needed to show people. I don't need the enforcer to explain rob brydon jokes lol.

+Enforcer soz triggered

I think it's found in both Wales and the North East

***** I made a phone holder, a twirly thing, and shaped out my initials. Success!

I think it depends on how big the object is.
