Bob Mortimer's Tale of "Theft & Shrubbery" | Would I Lie To You?

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.

When Bob starts a story with “as a teenager” you must always say true

[@antster1983]

That's why the Chris Rea story was a lie, as it happened in adulthood. 🤣

[@stevenwhitear]

😂😂

[@udayshankarr2327]

“Fingerprints on an abandoned handrail” is such a Bob way to say things…

[@zachsingh1]

The funniest part of this clip will always be when David Mitchell at 3:41 when he repeats the phrase and his eyes are staring dead at bob wide open and he whispers the phrase again. Love it. Or is just me that thinks this 😂

Sniper's dream 😂

I think about this phrase at least once a month

[@jonburton2382]

[@themirandafay]

I mean, his dad died when he was 7

[@annamcaree7361]

[@LilFoxyCosplay]

Had to watch this again because I've started randomly saying we do veg your pardon we are in your garden 😂😂

[@blackdragoncyrus]

veg?

[@JeatBunkie]

@@blackdragoncyrus you heard the man!

[@Mierzeek]

I remember these episodes, though my memory is fading. They’re like fingerprints on an abandoned handrail...

[@TheComixkid2099]

like pollen on a mouse's handkerchief.

[@gothnerd887]

I want to make a horror game bassed in this story.

[@Macluci]

One of the funniest things I have ever watched 😂😂😂😂😂

[@craiglongman1822]

Just started watching this and Bob is absolutely brilliant!!! 😂😂😂

[@marienicpon5605]

Bob is always hilarious 😅

[@JennieDonnithorne]

Since the first time I saw this, all those years ago, I have never said or heard the words ‘I beg your pardon’, without saying ‘I do beg your pardon, but we are in your garden’ in my head.

[@julieannthegreedyvegan8420]

This is by far one of the funniest things ive heard. I was crying so bad laughing at him😂😂😂❤

[@johnmills247]

The "Shouting!" Always gets me for some reason.

[@Gareth-410]

Why has the "cheese slices for his spots" bit been edited out?

[@pambrown6260]

Delightful

[@ChillToMusic87]

Sniper's dream they used to call him 😂

[@NattyNickDxB]

Funniest storyteller there is

[@n0isyturtle]

5 minutes with Bob leads to more quoteables than a decade with my wife.

[@JudeBro576]

Do you want to marry Bob, mr turtle?

[@saadsalman1650]

I swear I have seen a part where Bob explains why cheeseman was called cheesy is because his mum used to give him slices of cheese for his acne.. Did they cut this part out or is it a different episode?

[@deetw6470]

I first heard this story a day or 2 after my friend disappointedly told me about her young teenage son playing a game with his friends similar to what Bob did with the fruit......except they used rocks 🤣🤣🤣 maybe Fyn willl show up on WILTY in the future

[@JJ_moon6761]

😂😂😂 he sounds like me 😂😂😂 maybe we'll both get on WILTY one day 😂😂😂

[@jamiesimms7084]

This is not the full version because Cheese man had another nickname aside from sniper's dream
