With this show, basically, everything read from the card has to be true (if it's actual truth of course) and you can embellish and subvert as much as you want. Bob has been a genius of surreal comedy for over thirty years, so this comes easily to him. That and the fact his life outside of comedy appears to have been just as surreal. :) His autobiography, 'And Away...' is superb.
Not really. The unwritten rule is that if the story is true, every detail you give should also be true, UNLESS it is obviously meant as a joke, like the urine part.
@@jackcarter5101 This. You're not supposed to embellish the story, unless it's for comedy, in which case everyone understands what parts are true and which are not. I'm not even sure these rules are unwritten. There was one time when Lee reminded Claudia Winkleman of her contractual obligations on the show.
what @scottlp2323 said.... BUT... I'd add to watch all of Bob's WILTYs first, beause with many being true, a lot of the stories are in his autobiography (which I've only just started reading myself after finding the hardback in a charity store for next to nothing - come to pappa!!! lol)
Bob and his freind comedian Paul Whitehouse are currently on season 6 of their fishing show here in the UK. It's very entertaining . Bob was asked by Paul to go fishing with him for relaxation due to him having a heart operation . The show is a mixture of chat, cooking , and fishing . I believe some episodes are on ytube .
In traditional British usage, tuck shops are associated chiefly with the sale of confectionery, sweets, or snacks and are common at private ('fee-paying') schools, and my Secondary school, 11 to 16 year olds when I went to school in the late 60s. In some regions, the words 'tuck shop' may be interchangeable with a 'canteen'. The term is used in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, Nigeria, Pakistan, India, Jamaica, Hong Kong, Botswana, The Bahamas and in other parts of the former British Empire. The term "tuck", meaning food, is slang and probably originates from such phrases as "to tuck into a meal". It is closely related to the Australian English word "tucker", meaning food.
Bob Mortimer is a trained solicitor and when Jarvis Cocker from band Pulp jumped on stage during Michael’s Jackson performance at Brit awards Bob Mortimer defenders him v jacko lawyers
Yeah!... Items such as... Crisps... Nuts... Sweets... Chocolate... Pop (Soda)... Fruit Juices... Mints... Fudge... Nougat... Chewing Gum... Sherbet... Ice Lollies... Cornettos... Choc Ices... Ice Pops... Chocolate Milk - Banana Milk - Or Strawberry Milk Cartons... These were the typical items offered by the School Tuck Shop.👍
Almost certainly Dukeshouse Wood in Hexham, Northumberland. My wife and her school friends went there. It was shared between kids from Gateshead and Middlesbrough. It would alternate Gateshead girls and Middlesbrough boys one week and vice versa the next week. It certainly wasn't just for gifted children 😀
It's "tuck", as in "tuck in everybody, this is tasty." From Friar Tuck perhaps. A tuck-shop is a snack shop. British highschools will often run a tuck-shop on-site to make some more money for the school, and to discourage pupils from leaving the school premises during the school day to buy snacks elsewhere during break times.
Bob Mortimer and Vic Reeves have their own show back in the late 90s call shooting stars. I'm not saying do a live reaction but if you want to know why Bob is so good I would definitely check out an episode of shooting stars
Bob Mortimer a treasure, the fishing series with Paul Whitehead teaching Bob to angle is just pure class, especially as they have both had some hard times with their health over the past few years.
If you enjoy Bob Mortimer, see if you can find a series ‘Gone Fishing’ which he does with another comedian, Paul Whitehouse. It’s not side splitting humour but just very funny and very enjoyable
I like the idea of calling it a Truck Shop and it only selling Yorkies!! Lol!! (Joke for the Brits!) We had them at school and they were run by different students each time they opened! This has changed a bit now, as they don't want our kids eating rubbish food....poor kids that they don't get to have fun anymore, because the mistakes were realised with us lot! Lol! 🤣💜💜💜
Truck shops were insidious establishments run by works owners in the 19th century. Workers were "paid" in tokens, which could only be exchanged for goods at the works shop, at extortionately inflated prices.
A tuck shop on a camp site is a place to buy sweets (candies). On a lot of campsites it is a small area of a camp store that sells a greater variety of food stuff.
YES! Do the WILTY thing, Jodie! Maybe post the set-up first without the answer, then leave it for a day to allow people to respond in the comments, then post the outcome.
I played a game where we all submitted several facts/stories to the leader. Then three people were called to the front, and one of their stories was read. People could ask them questions before voting on whose story they thought it was. The goal was for the two liars to get votes and the truth teller to not be believed while only telling the truth.
When I moved to NZ I was in my last year of high school and as prefects we were in charge of the tuck shop. Fresh cream cakes were delivered every day and for some reason the profits were low and the prefects put on weight that year.
Tuck shops were near every kids school in my day (1950's) they were sweet shops and ice cream shops where all us kids went to (if we had spending money). After school they were full of kids. One if my favorite purchases was American Cream Soda 3d old money... Fabulous times.
Tuck shops, we had them in school back in the day. I don't know if they exist these days or not. Small area within the school where they sell snacks, candy , etc... and you could purchase during your school break time. I'm not referring to the school canteen where you get lunch, and it's a much bigger area I used to get loads of penny sweets. I liked the friendship ring and the fizzy cola. We're talking around 30 yrs ago, or so.
Wow! I’d like to see those smug, know it all, body language experts react to this show. They always have a lot to say when they already know the outcome. I think they’d be stumped when they’re trying to guess just like us.
I'm very far from being a body language expert, but there is one thing (not infallible but a good guide) that has some in handy, getting some that seemed very unlikely, e.g Ruth Jones' tortoise (hers was accentuated)
i know what you mean a lot of those "experts" know nothing, poker pros on the other hand would do a good job for example when victoria coren mitchell was on the show she did great because she is a pro poker player and knew how to read people pretty well. i have some tricks like if someone says "i cant remember" they tend to be telling the truth as its easy to invent a lie answer (but bob and Lee sometimes do actually do this also) and when people pretend to have to reread the name on the card its usually the truth. a good example is claudia winkleman she always acts a bit confused and like a "bad liar" every time she is telling the truth but makes it sound more plausible when its a lie.
That's my friend is a brilliant idea. Those people whined me up a treat. As you rightly point out after the events they give their opinion not during the events. Yes, I would love to see what you are proposing. Anyone trying to work out? Bob Mortimer
I feel like Lee frequently has some tells when he lies. He'll blink more often, several times in a row. That said, I think that Lee's been on the show for so long that they've largely used up his true stories. Now they just give him the most absurd things to see what outrageous story he comes up with. I don't think he even expects to be believed these days, he's just trying to spin a good yarn.
I watch all your videos, in the UK, not only for the content but to see the great reaction between you. You clearly have a wonderful relationship and you are as entertaining as the subject matter. Respects to you both and keep the videos coming.
They have no idea what will be written on the card, apart from it will either be a true story of theirs or they will have to make up a story about whatever is on the card.
BR👍Bob's garden game was ' theft and shrubbery' others will likely already have said a tuck shop is a small shop inside a school or youth club type of scenario with snacks drinks, chocolate bars etc my high-school used to have one, not sure if schools still have them or whether it's all vending machines now. Cheers guys✌️
tuck shop is a shop that sells food ready to eat. usually found in Aussie schools instead of a canteen or dining room. Yeah do a WILTY! it would be fun to watch.
A Bob episode of Wilty is not to be missed . The players obviously have their true story but the others do have no idea until they get the card . It's always fun even if the Lies are ridiculous , Lee , David and Rob make a great team to keep things rolling nicely as not all the players are comedians . There really are no bad episodes of this show .
The unwritten rule is that if the story is true, every detail you give should also be true, UNLESS it is obviously meant as a joke, like the urine part.
I've been to that site with my school for my geography course work in 4th year seniors, we visited kielder forest the reservoir and went to Hexham which is a beautiful old market town with a livestock auction. I bought a Zippo lighter for myself was only fourteen and got caught smoking behind the climbing wall, Fun times
Everything comes from England I suspect, but.. Tuck Shop is Aussie for Tucker shop (food). The mothers volunteered a day a week to make food for the kids in the local school. Tucker is Aussie for din dins ie "Tuckyer shirt in, we're eating." Guess the Brits said that as well.... There was an Aussie poem and a statue called dog on a tucker box. (thought there was also a song) I love the way Lee set up Bob for the "oh they've not using Fuji" joke.Lee is SO fast. Lee is also soo good at interrogating his own team mates. :P
Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong, Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee, And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag, "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me." "Waltzing Matilda" is a song developed in the Australian style of poetry and folk music called a bush ballad. It has been described as the country's "unofficial national anthem". Wikipedia.
Roddy Sykes and I made the tuck shop go bankrupt at school, never to be seen again!! ... We duped the teacher and stole the entire storage cupboard of the stock with a piss easy flick of the Yale lock, and came back 2 minutes later! The whole school knew who had done it, but they didn't grass us up.... Because we gave it all away, and the whole school ate all the wagon wheels, mars bars, and the boxes of various flavour Walker's crisps 😉 Absolutely True! We were hero's! 😳
It's in one of the verses of Waltzing Matilda. Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong, Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee, And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag, "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."
Just have to remember, the story doesn't have to be necessarily true, just the lie or truth of the card put to the audience. I'd also enjoy your reaction to '8 out of 10 cats do countdown' carrot in a box with the late Sean Lock...
@@dallasknight4854 No they haven't, I meant future tense, not past tense, so I'd like to see them react to carrot in a box. It's so stupid, just cracks me up every time.
Yep, the tuck shop (way back when I was at school) was a canteen for kids to get a feed. Of course in Oz we (mostly know what 'tucker' is... there's even a slightly famous dog that sits on the tucker box... 🙂
bodega /bə(ʊ)ˈdeɪɡə/ noun 1. (in a Spanish-speaking country) a wine shop or wine cellar. 2. US (in New York City) a small grocery shop, especially in a Spanish-speaking neighbourhood. Google.
Hi Nick here Jodie there ❤what you do. Have a small request I know you're always looking for new comedians I don't believe you see Sean Lock he is one of Jimmy Carr's friends but not as rude. They also do a TV show called 10 out of 8 cats Does Countdown. Which is basically two shows mashed together and the result is a comedic panel show which I think you would really enjoy. There are lots of clips on RU-vid and compilation videos. However I would like to point out unfortunately we lost Sean Lock August the 16th 2021 he was only 58 years of age and succumb to cancer . The last time he was seen on National TV in the UK for a charity show and still nobody knew how l Shaun truly . We have lost a true Genius of comedy.
