Lee Mack Isn’t Impressed By Katherine Ryan’s One Syllable Name Theory | Would I Lie To You? 

Rob was so proud of that Ex joke. And rightly so.

Ex has to be one of the best jokes I've heard in recent memory, I'm still reeling

Everyone's talking about the Ex joke, nobody's mentioning Warwick Davis going maximum rizz the second he learns Katherine's single

Love how Hugh was emphatic in denying he was a “single syllabler” 😂

“Or EX” he looks so pleased with himself lmao

My Mum's parents hated names being shortened so called her Joan in the assumption that it's impossible to abbreviate a single syllable name. Other than to her parents she's universally known as "Jo".

Sat next to Hugh on a train for a couple of hours once, he's a really down to earth guy!

WHOOOOO! How charming is Warwick Davis? What a gent, chivalry isn't dead!

Hearing the full story about her breakup in her standup makes Alex seem like a real prat

I think another thing they failed to take into account is there is the name the parents gave, and the name the person goes by. Robert, might go as bob, Steven as Steve etc.

It's the people who's first and last names both sound like first names that I don't trust.

Everyone was on their game here.

What a sharp joke from Rob, poor Kat, unless the breakup was also a LIE?

She told it really well, I only thought it was a lie because she doesn’t seem the sort to judge what other people name their kids. It feels a bit too Katie Hopkins for her 😂

Thanks to Hugh for saving this segment

It’s just dawned on me that I have never dated a multi-syllable named guy.

3:27 Brydon's best moment. Wonder if they edited this at all.

Everyone looks very shiny in this one, especially Warick

*in Rob's voice* What do you guys think? Is Hugh's story true or false? Or should i say Peter's?

1:07 3:15 If Rob had said that, Lee would've said "Keep it light"

So Bob is short for Robert and Steve is sometimes short for Steven so both are 2 syllable names

that hit Lee Mack hard

Speaking as an Alexander, perhaps this applies to four syllable names...

Katherine looks gorgeous here

If she'd said her bf's name were 'Al' she would have gotten away with it.

Touche John Touche...

brilliant attempt by katherine to out-bluff lee's team

Poor Kat.

Im 18 seconds in and as a one syllable named person I’m already offended if this turns out to be true, (not really of course but still)

This come off quite differently as a rerun, LOL. Now that she has two more kids. Although I guess technically Fred might actually be Frederick on his birth certificate.

Violet, Frederick and Fenna, umh I doubt it was a lie...

I kind of agree with the notion though. Not so much the one syllable, but simple names. It's like spending 9 months in the character creator making something uniquely yours and then just using the auto-generated nickname.

Just choose a version of your name that has more syllables? Rob -> Robert, Steve -> Steven, John -> Jonathan. Those are all technically the same names.

2:06 what did david say, there's no subtitles

Katherine Ryan is not known or missed in Canada.

not sure if it applies to have a 1 syllable nickname

Bob and Steve? Are one syllable names? (Robert and Stephen). Huh?

2:06

This show is so witty it should be illegal

Okay, Kat...

Aren’t Lee and John the only one Syllable Name

I think it was true and then she changed her mind.

So she dated a Robert and she dated a Steven. These are just two syllable names that have been abbreviated.

“Or ex” is the reason UK tv is superior to US

Surely the tip off should have been that she thinks everyone with a one syllable name is dim because of her exes. The whole system is based on two dim guys called Robert and Steven??

Isn't his mum called Delia tho 😂

Glad she lied. It would not be great for all us people with Vietnamese names.

Dave.

Or ex. 🥇🥇🥇

I'm a Lee, but I hate it. To everyone I know I'm Leo. Catherine (spoiler!) might not have been telling the truth but she's not wrong about Lee. Awful name

I take offence to this.

They're sitting SO CLOSE TOGETHER 😲

Bob is Robert and Steve is Steven. Hmm.

skip the ads and try the bads , the goods are good too , the thing is dont use canned lafter cos its shit

She could use some make up counseling, maybe from Bill or Jen!

I watched a bunch of past episodes and Lee seems to have free reign to touch the women sitting next to him and say stuff direct hitting on those women

Katherine is aware Bob is short for Robert and Steve is short for Steven right?

0:52 Is "Bob" a one-syllable name? Or is it a one-syllable shortening of "Robert"? Ditto with "Steve." And if these guys were such losers, why did she date them? I mean, don't you kind of get an idea of what someone is like before you say, "Yeah, I'll go out to spend several hours in your company"?

I'll bet on one syllable named men over blond haired females any day...

Bri_ish comedy is seriously the best.... _unlike murican comedy where everything is about political correctness, various appropiations, and other dimwittedness..._ _and now hollywood movies are going downhill too!_

God help her next “partner”

Ahh back when Katherine was actually good looking.

She's never impressed anyone!

K.R. Is the most annoying comedian on any TV show she’s ever on.

She's not very good at this game, Bob is short for Robert and Steve is short for Stephen, no wonder her stand up is so bad, you need intelligence to be a good stand up.

Katherine is overdone on plastic

And clearly Hugh is smart, as his real initials are PHD

Every time I see this I can't help but think that Hugh should have told the producers that story about his name so they could stick it on a card. Might have got some points out of it. 😂

Lee set that "ex" joke up perfectly for Rob, whether he realized it at the time or not.

I love how Lee immediately believed it and so became offended lmao

Hugh (Peter) has the best delivery when it comes to jokes or a story. He could deliver a pizza and it would make me laugh.

"One syllable named people are dim." Lee: oh no, not me. They've figured me out.

She called her son Fred

Katherine is so great!

I reckon they took that card directly from Katie Hopkins 😅😅

Rob was incredible throughout this one lol

Steve is short for Steven so technically it doesn’t count

She's claiming to be basing this on two boyfriends. One called Robert, and the other called Steven.

Beam ex

She literally gave examples of boyfriends with the names Bob and Steve....both of which are abbreviations, Kate.....

I can’t believe that Lee missed the “Ex” joke! 😂😭

I'm still hurt

I’ve got a similar motto: never trust a man with a first name for a last name eg. Craig David, Russell Howard (Love their work, but very untrustworthy names)

Maybe she doesn't realise that very few people are just called 'Bob' or 'Steve'. I don't like samie-names on twins (Jenny and Benny, Ashley and Aislyn etc). I don't even really like alliteration families but they're not my kids and I'm sure they grow up perfectly untraumatised anyway LOL.

The short guy is super funny.., seen him b4

but steve has 2 e's

I don't know I kind of agree with her. I personally believe that giving your child a very common or very simple name such as Bob, Lee, Kyle, Beth, Sue, Jill... Even if it's a longer more common name like Britney or Jackson, it seems like it makes it harder for children to develop their own identity and a sense of humor weakness or personality, and it's harder for them to be noticed for their individuality, whenever they have that comment of a name because they end up being shoved into a sea of other kids with the same name who they get confused for or who they end up being just like. I mean just think about it are you more likely to remember someone who you met once or twice who was relatively average who was named Tom, or would you be more likely to remember him if his name was Truman? Because let's be real, how many people do you know named Truman?

One day we wont see her on tv anymore... it will be lovely.

No one should ever be impressed by anything Katherine Ryan does.

She's done very well considering she comes across unapproachable and is not funny!
