Did Lee Mack Really Make This in School? - Would I Lie to You? - Series 5 - Episode 8 - BBC

[@nickg1700]

His timing of the "it's shit", as he passed The camera. Brilliant.

[@crystallise700]

'Was it at school?' 'No, it was in Broadmoor.'

[@DylanHansenDBH]

For those that don't know, Broadmoor is a psychiatric institute in England

[@aprilblenk]

+Dylan Hansen thank you

[@youcanlearnalotfromlydia]

To expand on that point, it's a high security psychiatric hospital for criminals convicted of very serious crimes, or people unfit to plead facing charges of very serious crimes.

[@RK-ep8qy]

@@DylanHansenDBH thanks

[@martinzhang5676]

Funnily enough Anthony Baekland was actually committed at Broadmoor after murdering his mother who raped him. Anthony's grandfather was Leo Baekland who invented modern plastic, namely Bakelite. To top it all off after Anthony was released from Broadmoor he went to New York where he attempted to kill his grandmother. He was sent to Riker's Island this time where he committed suicide in his cell by suffocation using a plastic bag.

Liberace for Chancellor. Brilliant.

Could you explain the joke?

[@MuttleyVonErich00]

@@girshin Pretty suer it is as simple as the letters match.

[@PeninsulaPaintings]

"Thank you...it's shit." How politely rude of you, Mitchell. Such is his wonderful specialty!

[@numbo655]

You say you did this in a yeurr... -No, a year!

[@sweiland75]

I figured it was his accent he was mocking but I am Canadian and I could not tell the difference. :P

[@lls6001]

sweiland75 Rob has a Welsh accent and Lee Lancashire :)

[@GroovingPict]

The ironic thing is that Lee had just spent an entire segment (in this same episode, right before this segment I believe) saying "burr" instead of "bear" during David's teddy bear bit. And then he rags on Rob for saying "yurr" instead of "year"? It also makes absolutely no sense to me, that apparently in welsh accent you pronounce "year" as "yurr", but you pronounce "bear" normally, and in whatever northern region that Lee is from you pronounce "bear" as "burr", but you pronounce "year" normally. Theyre the same fucking sound! Year and Bear are the same! how come you fuck up one but not the other and then you have another guy fucking up the other and not the one! It's mindboggling to me.

[@BLAHBLAHv2]

GroovingPict "that apparently in welsh accent you pronounce "year" as "yurr"," Not its not apparently, thats how we pronounce it in wales. On the topic of pronouncing things, If you could explain "Bass" the fish, "Base" and "Bass" the music term for me that be great.

[@kierenshepherd8435]

GroovingPict The 'ear' in 'year' and 'bear' are not pronounced the same. Year: jɪə / jə Bear: bɛ Year is pronounced as 'ear', Bear is pronouncer as 'air'.

[@bert1029]

I believed this as soon as I saw it. It's amazing how little work I got done in "Resistant Materials". At least Lee made something. We spent a whole term designing clocks and I never got round to making one.

[@greatepicgaming]

At least you made something even as interesting as a box. I'm doing it at GCSE right now and our product is a BOX. Yes I repeat a box. Possibly one of the most boring things to make, and now we have to do an entire folder of research ect on how to make it first. Fml.

[@bert1029]

greatepicgaming Lol, that's what I literally spent the whole time doing. Planning how to make something, instead of actually making something. No wonder I never made ANYTHING.

[@beckyboulton2362]

In my Resistant Materials lesson, I barely got any work done. In fact, I think we had to make a wooden nutcracker each, and I was so rubbish at it, my teacher ended up having to do mine for me in one lesson so I could pass it off as my own! xD Like you said, at least Lee got something done!

[@Wookieeoo]

bert1029 I used to piss about with a soldering iron

[@samuelalexander878]

We did sod all in resistant materials too. The most interesting thing that happened in 3 years was the teacher showed us a tattoo on her foot.

[@amac2612]

fuck i laughed at 'it's shit' when he was off camera

[@dragonsdynamite6403]

Was it someone else passing?

[@standuporshutup]

Lee is too good at making every explanation over the top. It's so damn hard to tell what's true and what isn't when it's his turn. Partly because he always does a "just kidding" sort of bit where he'll immediately reverse or change an answer to a question. When it's true, he's being an ass, but when it's a lie, he's trying to cover his ass with a joke. Genius comedian that really knows how to think on his feet.

[@365reece]

In 5 years of DT I made nothing what so ever, so I believed it straight away

[@The_Reductionist]

i thought it was just my school, yrs 7-9 was useless in DT. Only in GCSE Resistant materials did we actually get round to building furniture.

[@365reece]

Boby Gandhi oh I was supposed to build stuff, I just never did cause I thought it was a pointless subject

[@Al_o_bri]

Hours and hours spent hot gluing coins and then running outside to stick them on the floor and watching people try to pick them up loool

[@johnjohntv1195]

I made one thing in DT, imagine a wooden cube without the top panel or the front panel, and then imagine a load of random drawings all over it because I was bored. Teacher said “what is it?!”... I said “a shelf...” I didn’t pass DT.

I made a shelf. Not a case with shelves in it, no no, one single stand alone “shelf”.

[@grskcarton]

I spent an entire year in a home ec class and still could only manage to do a chain stitch in crocheting. My equally useless teacher was unawares until it was time to hand in our blanket masterpieces for assessment and I handed her a 10' long piece of wool and told her it was a dog lead. TRUE.

[@Szaam]

Lee shows this on The Law of the Playground, a very discreetly-aired show which ran for two series in 2006 and 2008. It got barely any recognition but it was a great show and I urge everyone to watch it. He says on that though that it took him a term, not a year.

[@alexanderg1935]

Szaam found it! Thanks dude

[@Author-In-Denial]

most likely a term making it and the rest of the year beforehand planning it. the classes like that like to spend as long as possible doing everything except for making it, because as i'm told, in the industry proper planning is valued over actually making something. or something like that

[@kurtwagner350]

What’s the show about?

[@djamesc]

I spent months making a key holder that could be stuck to the wall. It was so bad I threw it in the bin the second the term was over and I didn't have to look busy during the most pointless lesson there was. Apart from Electronics I mean. It was so bad my teacher came to me one day as said "This isn't really workin out, do you want to use this lesson to do your homework for your other classes?"

[@Tupelo927]

Thank you, Lee! I now feel soooo much better about the shite I sewed (botched) during my freshman home economics class. I'm going to show this clip to my mother so she'll quit harassing me about my lack of sewing ability...especially considering I'm now 40!

[@iambicpentakill971]

I was decent at the cooking part, but sewing machines terrified me. I just imagined the needle going through my finger the whole time. *Shudder*

[@JBOsurf]

Tech Studies in Australian high schools in the 80s. Woodwork, metalwork and plastics. I can still remember it vividly.

[@Phlebas]

I made a plastic keychain in my 8th grade shop class. It was literally a piece of red plastic fused with a piece of brown plastic in the shape of a triangle. Lee's keychain is actually nicer than mine.

[@aprilblenk]

I knew this was true the second he read it out. Only because I actually did the exact same thing in year 7, Metals and Plastics in Australia.

[@marysdanceworld6066]

I'm an Aussie too :) Being at a girls catholic private school, I used to be so jealous of my friends at other schools who got to do subjects such as woodwork, plastic work and metal work, while I had to do sewing and cooking classes (which I found enjoyable and useful, but I did feel the limited options were a tad sexist). I remember my friend showing me a keyring that she had made that looked exactly like that! It was true all the way for me also!!!! :P

[@genuinelyjag]

Lee looked so genuine here when they were disparaging his work, I thought it had to be true, or he's just a really good actor.

[@piratesareawesomeful]

I made two keyrings in plastic work back in 2001.. I made one with the initials of a guy I liked, which is rather pathetic, and a bone. Clearly, I was not the coolest person in the school. Although the initials were CD so I just told people I was a big fan of modern music playing stuff. Smooth criminal, that's what I am.

[@faithting2625]

at the broadmoor point, i died

[@ArdenInn]

So true , Lee went to my school in Blackburn and we all did Plastic lessons and we all made key rings

[@alliona502]

Knew this was true. I live in Scotland and in my first year of high school in design and manufacture we spent all year making one key ring. What's also true is that there is only red plastic to use.

[@BlastbeatsLOL]

It's because in the round before this, Lee tried to convince them that he mixed his luggage up with someone on holiday.

[@lizziebeexoxo]

'It's shit.' I died hahahah

[@kanttarellivaara]

Are you really dead?

[@weatherwitchandfelinefamiliars]

Oh my stars, I was thinking Plastic class was utter bollocks Then he said 1982.... And I suddenly remembered making Two coat hooks Myself around 1984 That I Still have 🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂 It wasn't a plastics class for us though but probably part of Metal work because of the heat involved. Bloody hell 😂😂😂

[@PtolemyJones]

[@espergames1981]

I had a plastic class for a year at school, is it really that odd?

[@funkyfranx]

Generally I think a 'resistant materials' lesson is more common, which covers a range of materials instead of just plastic

[@junbh2]

+Toothless We had shop class... but it did include a brief plastic section

[@TheMikeyReilly]

For a bunch of privately-educated Oxbridge comedians it sounds weird, as they all obviously were educated for the sole purpose of going to university. If you go to a state comprehensive, you're taught other life skills such as basic handiwork as far fewer people are going to go on to higher education and need taught different things. If you're going to be a joiner, you'd much rather have had been taught woodwork than Latin.

[@kellybertei1582]

its easy to tell when lee lies because he gets angry. when he tells the truth hes calm

[@Philip.Magnusson]

The way he said "It's a key ring" tells that he is telling the truth.

[@hollystiener16]

Yep. It was obvious

[@grskcarton]

My son made me a plastic cake server at school. Unfortunately the plastic is so thick I can't get it under the cake without lifting the cake first. Sought of defeats the purpose but I appreciate the thought.

Doesn't Lee Mack normally pronounce "year" the same way Brydon does here?

[@madperson876]

When I was in my first 3 years at secondary school, had to take Resistant Materials. In my second year, I never got round to making anything - (I didn't mess about or anything, I was just rubbish at the lesson) and my teacher was so worried that he wouldn't be able to grade me on anything, he actually did the task for me! Luckily I did better in my first and third year and dropped Resistant Materials for my last years of secondary school! 😂

[@binaway]

I had a very political feminist craft teacher in secondary school. She decided the boys had to use the sewing machines and make a simple apron. With zero interest we sat talking for weeks. Eventually and with the class becoming more boring I completed the task in about half an hour just to get rid of the thing. At home mum had to fix the mistakes before it could be used. I don't recall anybody else completing the task.

[@annmitchell4663]

binaway When I was at school girls and boys could take metalwork,woodwork,cookery,sewing/needlework..lots of girls took metalwork and woodwork..NO boys took cookery/needlwork classes.

[@cockoffgewgle4993]

I took Food Technology, I was one of two boys in the class. I spent most of the lessons concocting scenarios that I would later fap to.

[@nap4820]

Or, perhaps, she wanted to teach an interesting life skill to people who would not have gained the skill otherwise.

[@PaToUisDaRk]

[@Psiberzerker]

I took Plastics in art class, in Texas, in the 80s. I'm sure it's no different in Britain, but it wasn't a "Plastics class." It was the art teacher, and we made shit like that, because we're in 8th grade. We certainly didn't take just Plastics for a year, or a yeah.

[@ansuhmayram]

I did plasticworks at secondary school and I only just finished schools, it was branched within Resistant materials but we didnt own wood so instead of woodworks we had plasticworks.
