American Reacts | KEVIN BRIDGES | Would I Lie To You | ACCIDENTALLY BOUGHT A HORSE | Reaction

[@kestasba2903]

Based on the information floating around from the audience that was live there during the filming - the version shown on TV is heavily edited (cut down). It took Kevin Bridges roughly 40 minutes to tell his story - when he starts from the beginning, that's why everyone is losing it so much. I don't know what I'd give/pay to watch the raw version from BBC's archives somewhere :D Wish they made it available.

[@joguipo]

Yeah... Me too

[@sirsluginston]

If thats true they NEED to release it! I would sit by a campfire and just lay there listening for hours

[@majbrat]

I would pay to see unedited lol - just the level of incredulity and emotion from David makes me laugh so much

[@paulwalton1222]

Yeah, I'd love to watch the unedited version too. It must take hours to make a show that only lasts 30 minutes.

[@wizartr0n]

So many ‘personalities’ on these type shows. They don’t let one guy steal the show. The audience wants raw real tv. Their egos don’t allow that.

[@sicr7373]

The guy on the right is Proffessor Brian Cox, one of the greatest Physicists of our time, he was also the keyboard player for a band called D Ream in the nineties who had a number one hit here in the UK called 'Things can only get better'

[@MartinCraneRockbeast]

Also Keyboardist in rock band Dare.

[@Socrates...]

And Professor Cox is the David Bowie of physicists, never seems to age

[@kphsbaj]

@@MartinCraneRockbeast Does he dare to dream?

[@tardeliesmagic]

keyboard player for a band called D Ream? Never knew that!

[@kevinb6831]

lol he isn't anyhwre near one of the greatest physicists of our time. He's never advanced any of his own theories, he's just a very good explainer.

[@beverleyrankin3482]

Professor Brian Cox is a physicist and does present tv programmes about space. He used to be in a band called D:Ream in the 1990s.

[@littlemy1773]

I used to love their song, until Tony Blair played it to death and ruined it for me lol

[@meiji_tom]

Prof Brian Cox was the guest on this weeks Off Menu podcast with Ed Gamble and James Acaster, well worth a listen I was in stitches the whole time!!

[@annag8613]

So glad you mentioned that too. 😃 I have that D:Ream cd somewhere. He is just such sn overachiever lol.

[@beverleyrankin3482]

@@meiji_tom Thanks for the tip. Didn’t know about this podcast. I’ve just listened to it. Great stuff, but now I’ve noticed there are so many episodes and not enough hours in the day! Think my next choice might be Adam Buxton or Bob Mortimer.

[@meiji_tom]

@@beverleyrankin3482 It's such a good podcast, enjoy the deep dive :)

[@kestasba2903]

And please check Chris McCausland on Would I Lie To You ("I thought my neighbour was ignoring me, and he thought I was ignoring him, until he found out I was blind, and I found out he was deaf.") - it's hilarious one :D

[@jayonenote7527]

Yes that's a brilliant episode

[@tonygriffin_]

That was Professor Brian Cox you recognised on Lee's team, along with Kevin, the stand-up. On David Mitchell's team were Stephen Mangan, a comedy sitcom actor and the ever beautiful Keeley Hawes, an actress. WILTY? is basically always funny so look forward to more. David Mitchell has a superbly funny sketch show with his comedy partner, Robert Webb (called, er, 'Mitchell & Webb' basically) and every sketch from there are winners too.

[@genorp]

Kevin Bridges was brilliant. He mastered the game on his first try. Claudia Winkleman is also amazing at this game. She appears gormless, but is a genius. She manipulates the opposing panel like a master.

[@Whippy99]

Claudia is brilliant. Very clever woman. And mad as a box of frogs!

[@user-el2nh5uo1w]

Claudia scrambles Lee’s brain in the same way Bob Mortimer screws with David’s.

[@Renzsu]

What I like about the show, is that it's basically an excuse to tell fun anecdotes, as if you were out with a bunch of really funny mates.

[@Macca-zx7gz]

WILTY Henning Wahl equally as hilarious 😄 loving these reactions!

[@christinestromberg4057]

So glad you got to see this one. It's priceless.Yes that's Brian Cox on the right, he famously help to create the Large Hadron Collider, and even more famously droppe a sandwich into it so it had to be shut down for 3 days. :) Kevin Bridges is a great stand up comedian and can tell a good story, as you have seen. Incidentally his father did pay for the horse, but I don't know what happened to the horse.

[@gbulmer]

Brian Cox did not _" ... help to create the Large Hadron Collider"_ Hence, if he is "famous" for that, a lot of people are wrong. He wasn't even the leader for the LHC experiment he worked on. Happy 2025. ☮

[@aaronod232]

Kevin Bridges has some of the funniest standup in the UK in my opinion. You should definitely check out his bit on vaping/ e-cigarettes

[@malcolmjcullen]

Trying to light a pube joint with the toaster...

[@stormblooper]

House Rice is one of the funniest things ever, think it's lost on a lot of non Scots though which is a pity.

[@ConnorHoey]

I've been calling myself a vapist ever since

[@Factacious]

Coming from outside the UK (Norway). British panel shows in General, is for me the best entertainment there is.

[@johnavery3941]

Everyone of us from Scotland knew this was true straight off the bat, 2 18 year old Scottish guys in Bulgaria paying £90 to rent a horse, they were selling it to two gullible tourists lol

[@russetmantle1]

Yes! 😂

[@LB1973]

It was so painfully obviously true the second he knew the currency

[@meiji_tom]

Really enjoying the WILTY reactions, such a quality show. I really love that you shout out a "truth" or "lie" guess early on, adds to the fun for clips we've seen loads of times 😄 keep up the reactions!

[@colbrown1800]

So glad to see you embracing WILTY ..did Greg Davies invent a language? Is a great episode too

[@lizwooler2954]

Greg Davies on The Graham Norton show. His story about getting drunk and having a curry had Ryan Gosling and Jodie Foster laughing. I've watched it a few times and I howl each time 😁

[@mrh678]

You're certainly down a new rabbit hole now with WILTY, there is plenty out there to keep us all entertained for months 🤣

[@raphaelperry8159]

"There was a Bulgarian guy trying to speak English and two Scottish guys trying to speak English...." Classic :).

[@Alice-hp6yb]

Kevin Bridges is a great stand up comedian, a much more intelligent man than you might first think! Check out ‘bus stop’ which would be a great short introduction to him. ‘House Rice’ is a little longer but incredibly funny.

[@customerseUK]

I'm glad you did this reaction. It's one of the best would I lie to you videos.

[@duncanheron-brown4810]

Kevin Bridges is very funny, check out his stand up joke called ‘bus stop’

[@markrooney537]

Give me a quid

[@customerseUK]

Yes he should definitely do this one.

[@trevorbaynham8810]

The space scientist guy is Brian Cox. Currently doing UK arena tours. He was also in a UK pop group called D-Ream among others that had a couple of hits - including 'Things can only get better'. He does a series called 'The wonders of .....' things like universe, stars, planets etc

[@gbulmer]

Brian Cox wasn't in D:Ream. Peter Cunnah was the keyboards player and vocalist in the studio. Cox didn't play on the recording of 'Things can only get better'. Peter Cunnah was the vocalist on tour, and Cox played the parts Peter Cunnah had created in the studio. Cox was D:Ream's touring keyboards player. Happy 2025. ☮

[@Sdw77]

🤣🤣🤣 brilliant, I think that is an early one as I couldn’t really remember whether he was telling the truth or a lie either😂 Kevin Bridges is definitely for your list, my namesake and definitely one of the funniest current comedians, pure Glasgow down-to-earth funny guy👏🏽nice one king🫶🏽

[@SeymourUK]

If you can understand his accent, you got to check out his ‘Bus Stop’ routine. Everything he does is hilarious. One of my favourites.

[@peterwilkins7013]

Wilty - Anything with Bob - pet owl, dog massage and dentistry are some of my favourites. Claudia Winkleman is probably the best at playing - check out naming people as animals. Also David o'Doherty hypnotism and leg warmers for birds.

[@joguipo]

Nice one my friend! Can't wait for more. Big love from Spain

[@aaronmicalowe]

I once almost accidently hired a jumbo jet. I had flown through the airport the previous year so assumed it was still in existence. Well, it was, but not commercially. I phoned to book a flight and only realised at the payment stage that the price seemed a bit high. When I questioned this they got confused and said, sir, you are hiring the jet and have to supply your own pilot and pay for fuel costs etc. I cancelled the booking. 🤦‍♂😂

[@watchreadplayretro]

Somehow I had missed this Ep and clip, so this was fantastic. Thanks for the side-splitting!

[@Roberto_79]

Truly one of the funniest episodes of British comedy ever… And I believe it was David Mitchell's responses to Kevins answers that made it the funniest… PS the guy on the end is Professor Brian Cox who is seen on programs about the universe and physics

[@Xerdoz]

Why is it so difficult to get the point for some people. He went to Bulgaria with his buddy. (Bulgaria is known throughout Europe as a scammer central along with Romania). Some scammers (who had nothing to do with the stables) had access to a horse and told these guys they can ride it for 90 pounds / hour. The scammers got the money and left.

[@DannyHeywood]

Yeah. that's Prof. Brian Cox. He used to be in a Band before he got into Physics. (Also ASDA is our WALMART, same company)

[@barriehull7076]

In February 2021, the Issa brothers (Mohsin and Zuber) and TDR Capital acquired Asda. Walmart retains "an equity investment" in Asda, a seat on the board and "an ongoing commercial relationship".[11] The deal came after an acquisition by Sainsbury's was rejected by the Competition and Markets Authority.[12][6]

[@johnbarnes888]

Great show this. The funniest segment for me was Lee Mack’s cookbook on Chinese food, ‘Wok Around the Clock’

[@bowensgarageross-on-wye]

Definitely have a good look at Kevin Bridges, I've seen plenty of stand ups live & he's certainly one of my favourites!

[@mlbarraclough81]

You should watch the it crowd- the work outing. Its half an hour long but is on youtube in 3 parts. Probably one of the funniest half an hours of British TV I've ever seen. Father Ted is also very funny👍

[@somerandomkid9438]

[@chrisaskin6144]

Generally speaking when it comes to the transferral of sitcoms, dramas and other progs back and forth across the pond: British TV companies will buy the version that is shown on American TV. And it's overwhelmingly been that way since time immemorial, so Brits grow up absorbing a large slice of American culture from being very young. That's why - whether we like it or not - we British are very familiar and maybe even comfortable (though by no means everyone is) with the American way - it isn't strange to us. However, when a British TV company sells a programme to other countries, Americans mostly won't buy the prog off the shelf, they, more than likely, will buy the idea and make their own version citing cultural differences, and that their version will go down better with the audience. And that's why many 'muricans don't think anywhere exists outside the US of A. You are correct KB in your assumption, that the guy on the right is Professor Brian Cox. He is an Astrophysicist who's made many programmes for the BBC about the Universe. His favourite catchphrase is "It's a billion.... billion.... billion.... billion.... miles away...."

[@BeardyBaldyBob]

I recommend Kevin Bridges "if Facebook was a pub" if you fancy seeing some of his stand up 😁👍😂

[@smhall1205]

James acaster archenemy from WILTY is another great clip from this show, you should for sure watch that one

[@shanustheanus]

Ricky Gervais did NOT write the American office. He was down as a producer I think, along with Merchant, but other than one brief cameo, and their entire script being lifted for season one, his entire envolvement around the US office was cashing in royalties.

[@gbulmer]

Your comment seems to be an inconsistent. Gervais and Merchant wrote the script for the UK "Office". You seem to have written the _"... entire script being lifted for season one"_ (from the UK office) for the American office. So you seem to imply the script for season one of the American "Office" had already been written by Gervais and Merchant. Is that what you meant? If it is, it seems mealy-mouthed to claim they were only producers and cashing in royalties. Best Wishes for 2025. ☮

[@thesherbet]

I cant wait for you to react to Brian Blessed on this show. Did he really have an orangutan paddle his canoe down a river for him as his pilot? and yeah Ricky Gervais wrote both of the Office's, he's just very talented and knows how to write for different markets, and how to abuse Steve Carrell

You either have to be Scottish or have lived in Scotland for a long to understand the mentally of young guys on holiday. It only took me 1 minute to know he was telling the truth which made it even funnier.

America has taken a lot of British sitcoms and transfered them for an American audience. Many failed but some such as All In The Family with the wonderful Archie Bunker turned out to be a great success .All In The Family was taken from Till Death Us Do Part. which had too many local references to be a strait transfer which applies to many transfers.WILTY was originally an American show so it can work both ways.

[@russetmantle1]

I'm also from Glasgow and I'm proud to say that when this went out on air originally, I immediately guessed he was telling the truth. It just seemed exactly like the kind of stupid shit two 18yo Scottish guys would get up to on their first lads' holiday abroad. If you watch the vid back, you can spot the subtle signs of how he's trying to fool the other team, because sometimes he takes the gormless act a bit too far. For example, go right back to the start when he's just read out the card - when David asks him what he bought, his eyes drift back to the card before he says "a horse", as if he has to double-check. But most people who were lying wouldn't do that, because they'd want to look confident about the story. Kevin's a very, very smart man, but because he has a thick Glaswegian accent, it's easy for him to pretend to be a bit daft or incompetent, because many people who aren't Scottish buy it. More fool them. 🤣
