Bob Mortimer: "For the past fifteen years, I have performed my own dentistry." | Would I Lie To You?

[@Missjunebugfreak]

"I have a leathermaker's drill, yeah?" the way Bob says this line while looking out at the audience like it's totally an everyday thing we should all know about kills me 🤣

I’ve only just noticed, but when Bob mentions his dentist and David pulls him up on it, when Bob tries to explain that he has a dentist, he re-reads the card as if to remind himself of the original statement. The man is a comedy genius!

[@euan1234]

he is brilliant at these moments. There was another one, in the 'Garden Game' episode where he has to repeat the name of the game... but deliberately pauses as if he has forgotten, and has to be reminded by Rob. It is just a split second, but he sells it so well!

[@danielodonnell360]

Bob Mortimer really does talk like he has no idea what he's going to say next. It's fascinating. He seems to be just as surprised by where his stories go as we are. :D

Fuji IX is a real thing, too. "GC Fuji IX GP® is the easy-to-use, handle and place fluoride releasing alternative to expensive compomers and composites and in many cases, amalgam. It cures extremely hard and is very wear resistant. As a true glass ionomer, it chemically bonds to tooth structure, has a tooth-like coefficient of thermal expansion and releases significant levels of rechargeable fluoride. It is available in hand-mix powder-liquid and premeasured capsules." Amazing.

[@Lumpiluk]

One guest from David's team asked if Bob wouldn't need one of those "special lights". Bob then talked about his kitchen lights, but I think what she meant was one of those UV lights for curing the filling. What happens if you don't do that?

[@slyhatjones]

​This product is a glass ionomer. It sets up on it's own when mixed over a small period of time. It's an older cement than most modern ones that are light curable. We don't use it as much any more but it still has it's uses​. -dentist @@Lumpiluk

[@christianboehlefeld5168]

He lies almost as often as he tells the truth, but those are almost always spotted and only make the unseen bits at the end of the series. Chris Rea putting an egg in his bath is the only lie, outside of few now that they have someone else have the guest in the this is my round, that made it to air in the regular series. The sick owl lie was from the same episode that gave us theft and scrubbery. He claimed to hang a digery doo in a tree in his garden the same episode that he ripped an apple in half.

[@caleblim6890]

“There’s no exclusivity there” When Bob says stuff like that I remember he was once a fully trained solicitor who once gained local fame in South London by representing one Barbara Lighthouse against the local housing authority under a breach of the Public Health Act due to her apartment being infested by Egyptian cockroaches (long and thin, slip right in) and successfully reaching a settlement after Ms Lighthouse dumped a jar of cockroaches over the housing officer Ronnie Omelettes, resulting in the headline “The Cockroach King” in the next day’s paper.

[@ououdompanhavuth977]

David should’ve remembered the detail at 1:26 when Bob mentioned that his top front teeth are false. Bob came on for a later series and his card read that he lost almost all his teeth biting into a Kit Kat chunky. Could’ve been a very short segment.

[@Cowmilker98]

He certainly would have, but they act in the interest of keeping the flow of the show. No point cutting a Bob segment shorter than it needs to be, and he knows that

[@MikeDuddy-q2t]

​@@Cowmilker98I doubt it has anything to do with anyone acting to keep an interest in Bob. I just think that, unlike us wilty fans, David and the cast don't watch the show back multiple times to the point of remembering every single anecdote ever told in great detail. David has heard hundreds of stories on the show and roughly half of them are lies so it's not that easy to keep track of every detail. I honestly think David just forgot that Bob had a bridge after a few years.
