Greg Davies Calls Out Guz Khan's Teaching Story! | Would I Lie To You? 

I'd love to be at that school being in their classes just to watch whatever shenanigans both of them would get up to.

I think Greg would be a terrible, terrible teacher

​@@Britt-r3rSource: Everytime Greg was asked whether he was a good teacher.

You could throw in Romesh as well. There are a lot of teachers going into comedy it seems now.

And Romesh 😂

I hate how they just use straight up lies as the titles for these videos

​@@evilpocketowlturns out they would lie to you

It’s around 1:38

​@@puzoldookie😂

the pied piper of literacy claim when he's a humanities teacher, that was the part.

Let's hope he didn't teach English, saying that, eh?

Exactly. He’s not calling “calling him out” at all.

Yeah… but how can someone claim that after one week?

Actually I think you'll find it's widely regarded as "quite the claim."

It's great the way Greg breaks it down, acts it out, makes himself laugh and then Guz finishes it off with his impression of the students.

…of the humanities department 😂❤️

Was he as shit a teacher as Greg was (according to himself) or actually decent?

@@KityKatKiller Well, 'everything he's saying' can't be true because they didn't use a full stop...

@@KityKatKiller He was a Humanities teacher - a waste of space subject that should have never been introduced into the curriculum and objectively immoral for anyone to agree to teach So not just a shit teacher, a shit person

​@painless4785 dont be such a pedantic prick, we're in a youtube comment section

Love this clip, hate the title. It's a toss-up. Today I'm in the mood to downvote videos posted by people who are dishonest or show little regard for the content they post.

I'm ALWAYS in that mood and it's what they bloody well deserve.

Sick. Not so many full stops that way. 👊🏻

Not many teachers care if they're liked by students, thats something children say when they don't understand that the teacher is trying to engage people with less developed minds and whatever difficulties with functioning

@@william2496 I dunno. I think it depends on what you mean by "liked". In my experience you don't want to be "liked" so much like they don't take you seriously. You don't want to be their buddy, because the teacher-student relationship can't and shouldn't be symmetrical. But sometimes "liking" a teacher can mean you respect them, feel that they respect you and genuinely will put in the effort to help their students out when they need it. Those are the teachers I remember liking. I also remember my first temp gig when I was fairly young trying to be the cool fun teacher. Rookie mistake, that. Could never really recover my authority with that group of kids. But I think they genuinely *liked* me beyond just thinking they could get away with shit. It just wasn't worth it. So y'know... there's different kinds of likes is what I'm saying. The respectful kind I could easily lock someone in a cupboard to get.

Ok but if a teacher is straight up not marking any work then the kids aren’t going to be able to learn if they’re wrong and they definitely need to be called out about that.

​@@rachelcookie321Tbf we did not know what his teaching method was. There are lots of discussion between educators on the utility of marking and grades as a concept and different ways to provide feedback.

When he takes him up on the fact that he said he was 'the pied piper of literacy even though earlier he said he worked in the humanities department

​@singtimes They also needed them to comment. I wonder if they're good at getting people to do that.

​@@lobsters12111Lying is a good way to accomplish both.

​@@reddragon9946was surprised at this, with Greg being an ex-teacher. UK secondary schools often have a teacher who is the lead on literacy (i.e. in charge of putting systems in place across the whole school to improve literacy), and these needn't be an English teacher (although often they are). Guz could have been that lead, or just someone who built the literacy systems of the school into his lessons very successfully, or there are other possible explanations. Hardly unbelievable given enough knowledge of UK schools

The UK gets the best teachers turned comedians, we get frenchie who looks like he dealt meth to his students.

​@@ronstevenson4211They also get the best musicians turned astrophysicists.

Lol I didn't know about Romesh. It's quite a range of personalities.

And Mike Wozniak was a GP

Mark cooper jones the geography teacher

you missed a few words, as I'm sure Guz and Greg could actually do the job. It would be more apt to say, "And if you can't be assed to teach..."

If you can't teach, teach teachers. And I think now we have a topper: if you can't teach teachers, inspect them.

“It just does that occasionally, sorry”

What in God's name is a humanity's cupboard? Surely locking someone in one is inhumane?

@dogchaser520 It's a cupboard used by the Geography and History teachers to store stuff in. And I think it's perfectly humane as long as it's a right-wing politician... 😜

@MadeAnAccountOnlyToReplyToThis Wow, thanks for this valid and valuable insight. I'm totally gonna change my whole life and what I do/don't do based on this thing a complete stranger said.

He's pure love!

I think it's partially because we've put comedians into places of either obscurity or the same status as movie stars and no in between. In the UK, their celebrity status is something in the middle and we just don't have that. So shows like this sadly won't work here. At least we have RU-vid lol also, I think british style comedy lends itself to this format

Yeah I remember Chris Hardwick from The Nerdist in the US would always love our panel shows even 15 years ago, but tried in the US and it didn't work. I watched some attempts and I think because US comics are solely stand ups you have a very singular set of comedians who don't do banter as readily. Banter is part of every day British and Irish and Aussie communication so comedians from these places can switch to that for panel shows as well as do bits from stand up for panel shows. Also I think we're just a bit more 'silly' which is sometimes a bit gross and immature but it lends itself to panel shows and quizes and task shows. I think US comics are very serious about the business of comedy which lends itself well to podcasts and solo performance stand up. I also notice US stand up doesn't have many additional slide shows and things that are defo included by British comedians, especially at thr Edinburgh Fringe

In my mind I've always thought a big reason was how popular late night TV is here. That's where a celebrity goes to chat and be charming and tell an anecdote, and that's where a comedian goes to get noticed, so from the industry side there's not as much *promotional* benefit for setting up a panel show. I have no idea if that's true but that's what I imagine. We can also see there's a sort of competitiveness divide, too. When we do try stuff like this - @Midnight, the US season of Taskmaster, it ends up being less funny because people try too hard to win. I can't imagine we wouldn't be able to figure this out but it has at least so far been a problem. Wait Wait Don't Tell Me doesn't have this problem but it's not exactly a knee-slapper for other reasons. Also, Dropout/CollegeHumor is in the US and is now an entire streaming service that basically does two things: dungeons and dragons play sessions (ehh) and a bunch of British-style panel shows featuring mostly comedians as contestants (pretty good!).

@@NickHuntingtonKlein never really thought about it, but you're right. Dropout shows are kinda comedy panel-ish. Competing simply for laughs and to entertain

Whose Line is it Anyway

Can you still call them celebrity teachers if they're former teachers?

@@junbh2 It was a joke in reference to Lee's joke from the video. :/

James acaster

@@verrufen2642 Huh, I can't find any evidence through extensive wikipedia searching that James Acaster was a teacher.

James was a teaching assistant I believe, he's alluded to it a few times on Off Menu, reminiscing about the school dinners

Wait, you don’t call that a cupboard? What do you call it then?

@@rachelcookie321 Generally we'd call something you can walk into a closet - a cupboard is usually something small and higher up (like kitchen cupboards) and generally built-in. Kind of dependent on context too - a full-size storage space in a kitchen might be called a pantry instead of a closet. A hallway storage space for coats is always a closet. Further complicating things, in parts of the US and Canada they use the term cabinet almost exclusively for what I've described as cupboards (i.e. kitchen cabinets).

@@juliasmith8637 so you’d call it a closet even if it’s not for storing clothes? Would you call this at a school a closet?

@@rachelcookie321 yup, a supply closet, or an art closet etc.

Sight*

​@@smitha1994it's actually site... sight refers to your eyes. Site is the place you are.

@@smitha1994 is it? I thought he meant on the school grounds. Actually now I think about it, sight makes more sense 🤔 👍🏽

@@UmmEss You know it's a play on "love at first sight", ya?

​@PvtSn1pe love at first site*

November 2019, so before Guz' series

@@viva2archive Thanks

Similar skills required, much better rewards.

Geography religious education and history

It's a composite subject made up of small parts of the "optional" subjects you could choose from, so if you choose not to take Religious Education, for example, the school will still have made you do some RE in the mandatory Humanities lessons. Of course, because it's made up of so many different subjects, you don't have time to learn anything of value in any one - so it's a complete waste of everyone's time.

Covers History/geography/RE in most schools. Politics and sociology also in some.

@@joannaharp395 wow, I suppose after General Studies anything’s fair game

Someone who teaches humanitys

I mean... he does sound like a disturbed individual.

I can think of worse people to become

In YOUR opinion. I think he's hilarious. As did the audience.

People are paid to laugh on television ,other wise when would YOU, know it was funny@@DanBrown96

He seems like a narcissist. At the very least he's completely full of himself.

Comedy is subjective, retard
