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

Here's a collection of Would I Lie to You? tales where Bob Mortimer has proved to be a local nuisance!

Would I Lie to You? is the hit BBC panel show where two teams of celebrity guests try to figure out whether their opponent's ridiculously far-fetched statements about themselves are true or, in fact, a lie.

Featuring inimitable host Rob Brydon with lightning-quick team captains David Mitchell and Lee Mack.


Would I Lie to You? is brought to you by Banjiay Rights in partnership with Zeppotron and the BBC.

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.

[R.Daneel]

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

[andresfontalvo]

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

[Salsiccia]

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.

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

[markrosserwarehouse]

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

[Felipesnac]

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

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

[iamdb]

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

[muaddibby]

"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

[DeadlyLazer]

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

[daveyfunk]

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

[ruk--]

Bob confusing AI with A1 is my new favourite thing.

[mikeynma]

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

[andrewclifton]

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.

[artursandwich]

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.

[drilz]

“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

[JustAVerySmith]

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

[RukhsarSanjaree]

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!
