David Mitchell absolutely loses it as he tries to unpick Henning Wehn's ridiculous story as he claims that instead of being given chocolate Easter eggs as a child, he used to have to hunt for an Easter onion...
Rob Brydon hosts the award-winning comedy panel show with David Mitchell and Lee Mack as the lightning-quick team captains. Over the course of the show, celebrity guests reveal amazing stories about themselves, some of which are true and some of which are not. The aim of the game is to fool the opposition into mistaking fact for fiction and fiction for fact.
This episode's guests are Stacey Dooley, Alex Jones, Rachel Parris and Henning Wehn.

A team that consisted of Henning and Bob Mortimer with Lee Mack as captain would be the most hilarious team to have ever been seen on wilty

[@Jtmissile]

Against Rhod Gilbert and Claudia Winkleman on David's team to drive him insane

[@freemangriffin4953]

I need a fourth: James Acaster! (:

[@davidz2690]

Greg has had some bangers to be fair

[@7Lace77]

Rhod and Acaster against Henning and Bob!

[@stephaniecarrow4898]

I never get tired of this story, or of Henning in general, but this one of his is my favorite. His tears are actually touching, and it's amazing how Rob can bring out both laughter and tears with his impression of Henning's parents.

[@hellion9547]

Henning always tells the most crazy stories but answers every question like he is the only sane person in the room

[@samuelj.robinson783]

I love when Henning uses English slang, innit?

As an American, I can't tell you how jealous I am of British shows like this. This, 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Graham Norton, and even Gogglebox are such great shows and I wish we were able to recreate them here but it's just impossible.

[@themug406]

Why? Just watch the uk ones

[@hellion9547]

Why is it impossible? I know the US has close to none panel show like this, but I mean why is it that it would not work?

[@dthejc]

@@hellion9547 I think he means for similar reasons why British Sitcoms when remade for US fail. (Like RedDwarf and IT Crowd)

[@leeshapon]

Don’t include gogglebox alongside these great shows lol

[@Statsy10]

We do watch the UK shows, and we think they're great but they do feature much less familiar UK celebrities, whereas it would be nice to see some of our home grown personalities on these shows.

[@lizfuller400]

Love Henning and Bob Mortimer. Can watch them over and over again. Plus James Acaster and the the hilarious Scottish guy, Kevin Bridges.

[@rakadoni8403]

I thought his tears came from a real place thinking of his parents , I wanted to give him a cuddle

[@chunking0]

I think it did tbh, Rob's impression of his dad being proud of little Henning probably pushed him over the edge, very sweet actually.

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

I thought so too, if so it’s a covertly melancholy moment.

[@nirfz]

I thought they wer tears of laughter.

[@puppytails5485]

I agree - I think something about the moment makes him perhaps wish his father could see the impression or see the story.

[@polinosti]

that's exactly what I thought, poor Henning :(

[@AviationTV]

It was Robs German accent that brought me here

[@Koshkamitsu]

It's the revisiting of "aloft" that cracks me up

[@scipioafricanus5871]

Henning: "I would hold it aloft (the easter onion)", Lee Mack: "What... like a world cup?"

[@harryspronk4894]

Da ist die Zwiebel!

[@FlyingBystander]

Henning is pure genius and I hold him "aloft" :)

[@kvps27]

Dream guest episode: Claudia Winkleman, Henning, Bob Mortimer and James Acaster. Audience would have to sign a waiver because of the risk of death from laughter.

[@Ooth9999]

Claudia winkleman is just obnoxious

[@abhijeetraut6427]

Rhod and Greg??

[@abhijeetraut6427]

My ideal lineup: Rhod, Greg and David vs Bob, Hehn and Lee They will need to keep doctors Handy.

[@velocityfpv5231]

Add Greg Davies and you’re set!!!

You can say what you like about Henning but he knows his onions!

[@TaxingIsThieving]

1:27 Why does this remind me of so many colleagues

[@PtolemyJones]

colorfully painted onions, love the idea. Cocktail onions?

[@Daniel-gb9ex]

"Why didn't you just say I don't give a damn where that onion is, it's not a treat ?" Because he was just following orders.

[@kierancoughlan1378]

He was just following hors d'oeuvres

[@stephaniecarrow4898]

​@@kierancoughlan1378Well done!

[@dee2140]

Brilliant programme. Really funny. Just wish they’d make it an hour long instead of thirty minutes.

[@themug406]

Just watch 2 episodes then

[@rippspeck]

Ha. even his German has a thick accent.

[@Tiax776]

A dream lineup would be Kevin Bridges, Bob Mortimer, Rhod Gilbert and Bill Bailey.

[@eyeshandy]

hold it aloft

[@dscott6629]

That was hilarious!

[@michaelholey8310]

How has Henning done this ? he comes from our most famous enemy country and takes the P*SS out of the English culture and still becomes one of the greatest and much loved comedians around. This man is pure class yet humble and very very likeable .

[@rockguitar2012]

The C in BBC stands for clickbait now

[@rockguitar2012]

Just to clarify, they've changed the title now - the previous one was like "David Mitchell LOSES IT!"

[@shittymcrvids3119]

big black clickbait.

[@MakeSomeNoisePlaylists]

Henning is einfach der derbste 😃

[@KwehTheBird]

Dear BBC youtube people, I know Channel 4 finds it necessary to type one word of its video titles using CAPS COS IT SEEMS COOL AND THE YOUTH ARE SO INTO UPPERCASE LETTERS INIT, but you needn't debase yourself in such a manner. This is not clickbait, don't treat it like clickbait. Anyone remotely unaware of WILTY of Henning is not going to be swayed into clicking by the use of uppercase for the word ridiculous. So just don't. And next time you choose a title for a video just think "what would David Mitchell do?"

[@TonyTheYouTuba]

Very well said, completely agree with this.

[@samuelj.robinson783]

Was it a 'magic' onion by any chance?

[@boahnation9932]

There's the onion!

[@craigwillingham9511]

Excellent.

[@ystoyanov3669]

All of his stories sound exactly the same absurd and its hard to tell if it is true or he is composing it.. 'innit'

[@SchlichteToven]

I think it's spelled "Mitchell."

[@CS-pi5oc]

My sister used to grab and eat a whole onion. I was called to make potato salad for the family andI removed my portion before adding raw opinions for the rest of the family. Raw onion has nvr been a taste I could warm too.

[@derwolf9670]
