Does Lee Mack Know Your Head Size? - Would I Lie To You? - Series 5 - Episode 3 - BBC

[@GT_Walker]

I can just imagine the writers in the office. "How shall we fuck up Lee Mack this week?"

[@shahmianas8512]

I think it escalated to "this series" and now to for "the lifespan of the entire series" 🤣 poor guy can't catch a break

[@francisburgess4006]

I love the mutual respect between David and Lee

[@MHorton1000]

I hope one day that Lee's outrageous skill story is true.

[@DispleasedEskimo]

That day will come, and it will be the most outrageous skill of all!

[@rayaqin]

the skill of making up hilarious stories in the blink of an eye

He does (or did) have a world record in darts. It came up in one of the shows...

[@sophiaredwood5825]

@@madnessbydesignVria I was going to reference this one

[@vivavaldez87]

It's rare and pretty random, but I love it when Mitchell breaks into a full on guffaw.

[@CorellianSmuggler]

When David Mitchell laughs, he sounds like a man who's just told Bond how he plans to take over the world.

[@silentxinsanityy]

When Rob brought out the tape measure... I just about lost it! And what an amazing coincidence that someone on the opposing team actually had their head circumference measured! lol

[@bobbyharmon9818]

can't tell if this is a joke or not.. the moderator knows the questions, so probably anticipated it. actually sometimes i'm afraid some of this is not as impromptu as we're led to believe. anyone agree?

[@turtledroid_prime1945]

Bobby Harmon Usually only rob brydon has some form of a script IMO.

[@silentxinsanityy]

I'm aware that many shows are scripted, but I was under the impression that this was a good, old-fashioned, unscripted panel show. I know I'm really giving the benefit of the doubt here, but I am assuming that it wasn't planned. They would have had to make up the lie for Lee, only AFTER knowing that someone had had their head measured, and the person in question then would have most likely known it would be a lie or that something was up. Please no one ruin this show for meeeee!!!

[@simonenqvist2568]

silentxinsanityy Don't worry, it's not scripted. It would be impossible to script this, especially since they've been having guests with no experience in acting or stand up comedy. But the host do know what the cards say, so he can prepare things in advance. I think that Catherine having measured her head was just a coincidence.

[@TequilaToothpick]

Simon Enqvist I imagine when the guests arrived they talk to them for a while to try and find out crazy stuff they've done that sounds false but is actually true. It could be that she told them she had her head meassured and someone thought "That'll make a great lie for Lee".

[@him050]

How they both say "large" kills me 😂

[@shekinahgonzalez3904]

When Rob brought out the measuring tape and held it out to Lee at 2:25 I just pissed myself laughing at the look of absolute irritation on his face XDD

[@keithbellew4101]

The SHOES-A!

[@shaneben8745]

It's amazing we can watch this episode after The Internet was broken

[@madperson876]

I love the look on Rob Brydon's face at 2:24 when he handed Lee that tape measure!

[@BNL07604]

David and Lee are magical.

[@MrAttilaRozgonyi]

“That’s OK, I used to be a vet” 😂

[@lincthesinc1283]

I love how David falls part when Lee starts with his bullshit 🤣

[@JatinderGill9]

"Lee... What is the circumference of my head?" That sentence did strange things to me. EDIT: Also, when David argues that Lee shouldn't be trying to conclusively prove his point... That did strange things to me too.

[@rayaqin]

what strange things?

[@bobiner12]

David Mitchell is Lee Mack's kryptonite

[@bernlin2000]

Love David Mitchel's laugh, extraordinary :-)

[@Takhar7]

Spit out my tea at "large"

[@-Tidgy]

2:33, Louis' reaction is so funny.

[@emilyannabethlager]

David laughs exuberantly, I feel his bliss...

[@BezoRazo]

Don't think I've ever seen David laugh quite so hard :-)

[@glennmatthews1208]

David's reactions make this video :')

[@TheKlmfg]

I shouldnt have watched from 0:50 while drinking water, I am dying of laughter XDXDXD

[@TheDoubtfulAstronaut]

'Don't worry I used to be a vet' lol

[@TommyLie1993]

This is the funniest thing I have seen in ages!!!

[@Desh681]

Wait...wait a second...he was telling a lie. He does not have a uncanny ability to guess your head size. ...But he guessed it, and he got it right!

[@-isk9366]

+Magic she told him it was 24

[@ribendende]

+Magic The only reason he got it "right" is because he cheated with the measuring part. You can clearly hear her say he has to measure it on the height of the head, he sneakily lowered the tape measure so the circumference would be smaller and indicate 23 inches.

[@simoncarlile5190]

+Magic Guessing 23 when you already know the answer is likely 24 is not magic

[@KalleJon10]

You are beyond stupid...

[@jlspma]

when rob rolled out the tape very innocently and quietly, i was ROFLing so hard I nearly choked on my own saliva.

[@darkcowboyhero]

Lee Mack always gets the most insane lies and almost manages to pull off so many of them

[@grizzle273463]

This is the absolute best vid series on KZbin. Tell ur friends.

[@ROCdevelopments]

Oh I wish american TV was this funny.

[@viridismonasteriense]

I love how David lost it at Lee saying 'in my expert opinion'.

[@lookitsagrape1]

0:07 - 0:11 is why David Mitchell is a legend

[@Lumberjack12321]

You know when David Mitchell cracks up that the situation is completely absurd.

[@811chelseafc]

I love how seriously rob handles tape measure haha

[@tomchapman5568]

BBC trying to stir up some controversy with that thumbnail

[@devanman7920]

Catherine from I.T crowd is gorgeous!!

[@MercenaryKal]

I love the way that her head is the smallest there

[@HaZZb97]

I love the ridiculous ones they give Lee.

[@AutomaticDuck300]

Katherine is amazing

[@samflynn97]

That laugh... 0:43

[@Bismillah90]

I absolutely love this show.

[@omokok1877]

"I used to be a vet" 😂😂😂😂

[@cvde95]

Lee always seems to get lies that claim he has some super-skills, like telling if you're a tea or coffee person, or what day of the week you were born on. Poor Lee :)

[@jackow117]

what a panel!

[@MrNickeh]

Watching Lee Mack clips, they give him some impossible lies to try and pull off.

[@KaiserAugustus72]

I'm actually surprised noone made a joke about WHY Rob has a measuring tape in his pocket.

[@neilread82]

This is so much better than watching the news!! Who agrees?

[@dudesayingthings]

Credit to Lee for making this funny 😂

[@believeinitshona]

....23.....Brilliant! looking forward to it!

[@understand0001111]

This ep was amazing. Apart from the Louie spence, I dont think any of the male panelists did, they gave him weird looks and clapped when he finished just to be kind. David o Doherty was great, hope he does more panelist shows. While David mitchell and Lee mack were fantastic as usual :)

[@anglo-saxonredcoat3728]

Ever since the IT Crowd i've had the weirdest TV crush on Katherine Parkinson ha

[@mortl8324]

this was one of the best

[@TheFinisherMrC]

Louis Spence loved Lee's vet quip!

[@treesarecool12345678]

oh my god I literally guessed 24 inches when she did her twirl

[@decimalsummer]

She said 24. Lee is the one who said 23

[@ZumbaMarx]

Now I may be meta-ing this up, but the lie invented for Lee is "I can tell the circumference of someone's head just by looking at them"...of all observations/guesses tested (one, which was 23½), he was correct 100% of the time...doesn't that make this true by definition?

[@WPPatriot]

That, and the fact that he wasn't measuring the correct circumference of hear head, he was just measuring and adjusting it in such a way that the result would be 23½

[@RosanneEs]

Except for the fact that he measured her head totally wrong, so that it would be 23 xD

[@DownThereForDancing]

Did I miss something? Near the start Katherine says she knows the circumference of her head is 23 inches because she had it measured for a wig. Then Lee agrees with her. And at the end everyone seems shocked that Lee was right.

[@madnessbydesignVria]

She said it was measured at 24 inches, and Lee said it was 23. When he measured it, he got 23...

[@Mudget86]

This one was just silly. Unless he could somehow avoid any real questioning, it was an impossible lie to sell without it actually turning out to have been true...

[@JessShawTV]

Omg it's Jen from the it crowd

[@zufgh]

@muffinlady18 The best thing about them is that he usually manages to convince everyone that it's true!

[@andrewroberts8139]

I think there were some methodological problems with Lee's measuring of Katherine.

[@Satish13]

Gotta love David Mitchell!

[@unbornvii]

Rob Brydon is an awesome troll!!!

[@RGnack]

She sais herself her head is 22", Lee later guess its 23½" and then she sort of believes it might be true... what?

[@GreyPersona]

David O'Dorherty and Katherine Parkinson! So looking forward to this.

[@MarxistKnight]

Wow, I actually got her circumference right! I thought about 60 centimetres which is about 24 inches

[@feliperagonha]

Anything between 50 and 70 can be considered "about 60", but go on... lol

[@pamelah6431]

Lee 1:43 😆

[@TheExplodingBacon]

0:48 Clearly a ladies man

[@magnuswilen]

What do you mean? This video is in widescreen...

[@YNWAintheFOAR]

This reminds me of David Mitchell: Laughter Explosion.

[@alienlamb]

Oh my gosh David lost the plot xD

[@kylenetherwood8734]

It's lucky for Jen that she got her head measured just the day before.

[@SatanStan]

Katherine*

[@kylenetherwood8734]

Satan I don't watch the credits.

[@SatanStan]

Kyle Netherwood Neither do I.

[@B2Roland]

Jesus mate. It's OKAY to be wrong. "I choose to be ignorant" Like that makes a bloody difference. Just admit you didn't know the chick's name and move on.

[@Ovvenchips]

that's tough cos you don't get to laugh at how funny he is.. I feel for you :(

[@timmyhkvt]

No, because he only said 23.5 after Katherine said her hat guy had measured 24. Guessing after someone's told you the right answer doesn't count.

[@EriButterfly101]

Where did Rob get the tape measure? That is my only question.

[@argothiel]

He knew the question in advance, so he was prepared.

[@magnuswilen]

No, it is in proper 16:9 for me.

[@TheBestUserEU]

I'd love that lol

[@feuchster]

Wow, i actually guessed 24 inches, lolllllll

[@Ovvenchips]

thats pretty cool

[@GedKelly1999]

@silarnon These are true words.

[@joepoolman94]

If Lee Mack can act properly then he should so have a guest part in the next series of peep show.

[@HotelCode]

Am I crazy? She had already told him what her head size was, so why were people impressed that Lee got it right?

[@happydancerboy]

24.5 inches is an XXL, his guesses were insane :p

[@yanosful]

katherine is soooo cute

[@TheKnightWho]

That's the point of the show.

[@DevilboyScooby]

The thumbnail for this is a little...suspicious.

[@chocchipfox]

ohh!! it's catherine from IT crowd!

[@NialasDubh]

Nothing weird about that, mate. She gives me special secret feelings too.

[@hatakekaishi]

I wish we had shows like this in Canada. I'm tired of crappy American reality Television shows that aren't really real or if they are real they are just really stupid...

[@leredsock]

but that's only complemented well with david's interrogation.

[@Tauromaja]

I can actually tell how big a person's head just by looking at it. Really. I'm a hatter. 24 inches is rather big for a woman. If you look at vintage hats, most were size 22 inches (or 56 cm). I'm a 59 cm/24 in and am notorious for my big head. And Lee was measuring her head wrong anyway.

[@LagunaX1]

Lee is great at this. He got her to tell him her measurement "24 inches" and managed to make the crowd forget completely by guessing "23 and half inches". Hell even David seemed surprised he was close lol What a fantastic liar XD

[@ItalionSausage]

I only came here for the number 34 on Lee's chin.

[@Kyuuren13]

The circumference of your head is... alarge

[@TaxingIsThieving]

0:40 2:10 2:52

[@dekkstr_music]

how the hell could he convince anyone its true?

[@Caittheegreat]

I think you're a....Large. ROFL.

[@darthpsykoz]

lol i know the feeling, lets thank youtube and the internet it general :)

[@Noiiizeeey]

He shouldve said "womens large"
