The guy is so funny, & although he presents as a grumpy guy, he had been raising money for a welsh cancer unit for YEARS before his diagnosis, out of pure kindness. His diagnosis has also set off a chain reaction to raise more money for the unit by his friends in the comedy world. As a cancer patient myself, who cherishes the resources at my own local cancer unit, I can truly say this fundraiser is a beautiful thing, born from a terrible thing. Best wishes for his speedy recovery

[@The1717th]

Especially after Sean, doesn’t surprise me

[@achloist]

Him and you both Ellie.

[@ellieandthetorts]

Aw thanks Graham. I'm doing pretty good all being said. & absolutely the 1717th. Theyve already gone through one massive loss to the comedy world. Its amazing to see them rally round though. What a freaking sh*tty disease it is.

[@BD-yl5mh]

I don’t think “being grumpy,” precludes you from being a good person. In some ways I would argue a degree of cynicism is actually useful for recognising injustice. Obviously you can’t be cynical to the point where you stop seeing the point in getting out of bed, but cynical enough to realise “no, the people in charge don’t have it all under control, and maybe I can help fill that gap somehow”

[@ellieandthetorts]

@@BD-yl5mh you're absolutely right. I was just trying to say part of his image portrayed for his comedy isn't the whole picture (which, in fairness is probably true for a lot of people in the public eye).

09:51 not Rachel but coincidently the brunette on David's team is Rachel's predecessor on Countdown Carol Vorderman.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

The episode with Mackenzie Crook (the "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor) was before Victoria and David married. I think they started going out together after that episode. And yes, the orchidometer story was true!

[@garulusglandarius6126]

This video is the first I knew of Rhod fighting cancer😢. Best of luck love and support to you Rhod, you are in my thoughts wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️

[@worldwidekeef]

If you can find it, Rhod Gilbert and The Award-Winning Mince Pie is one of the funniest stand-up shows you will ever see.

[@24magiccarrot]

Regarding mittens/gloves I'd say mittens are a type of glove. It's like sandals and shoes a sandal is a type of shoe. Basically, all mittens are gloves but not all gloves are mittens.

[@jimhoyt5]

MacKenzie sister did buy him that orchidometer. Victoria was not seeing David at that time. You asked if that woman on Lee's team was Rachel Riley which of course ir wasn't, but the woman on David's team was Carol Vorderman the previous mathematician on Coundown.

[@24magiccarrot]

If you are insisting on a comedian test before watching WILTY you are going to miss out on amazing clips from Richard Osman and Claudia Winkleman neither of which are comedians but have outstanding WILTY moments

[@SaintPhoenixx]

The "orchidometer" one with Mackenzie Crook was true. And yes, scotch eggs are good, as long as you get a proper one and not a really cheap supermarket one. If you get a fresh made one, they're great. You could make one yourselves, boil an egg, wrap it in sausage meat, cover in breadcrumbs.

[@gabbymcclymont3563]

Wrap in Haggis instead of sausage meat, yummy.

[@kiljaeden7663]

Yeah. The eggs are a bit overcooked in the supermarket ones. Always gives it an unpleasant sulphurous vibe.

[@SaintPhoenixx]

@@kiljaeden7663 And the breadcrumbs are dry and the sausage meat is usually unrecognisably grey.

@@kiljaeden7663 M&S do one (well, a two pack) that’s pretty good. They’re meant to be cooked and if you get the timing right they have a lovely just-runny yolk.

[@BD-yl5mh]

I think I kinda get Rhod’s thing about the escalator. Often times if it’s one or the ones with stairs, when turned off, near the top there’ll be a half height step at the end and that can trick your brain into stumbling a bit at the top. I believe there’s been research done that shows people are very sensitive to the relative spacing of stairs, so that actually makes sense that he could be tricked like that

[@BD-yl5mh]

I love how there’s this little club of people on this show where there’s almost no point to playing the game because no matter how insane, it genuinely could be real. It’s probably only a 3, maybe 4 person club. Rhod, Bob Mortimer, James Acaster, and maybe Claudia Winkelman

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

Don't forget Greg Davies and Henning Wehn!

[@MusicalJackknife]

If I remember correctly, the episode with Victoria and David was filmed while they were newly dating but not publicly, though they have been on together while married at least once after this.

[@adammm2847]

Seen this show a lot but It's great to watch it again through the eyes of someone who has never seen it. 😀

[@marywood8794]

Rhod is great! I feel really bad about his cancer diagnosis and hope he wins his battle, for himself and his wife. I've seen this Rhod WILTY compilation many times and still I saw that Embrace the Suck 21 was reacting and I thought...yes please! Rhod also did a show that was called "Work Experience" (I think). It's a little different view of him. I wish that I could have seen more episodes, but I'm here in the U.S. and have to take whatever I can find on KZbin. Maybe Spencer and Daniel should check some of that out, too.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

There must be a highlights package of his amazing performances on Taskmaster out there somewhere too. Possibly the funniest contestant ever on that show.

[@phillipgreen3893]

Rhods taskmaster compilation is one of the best out there

[@b62boom1]

I first saw Rhod at his second ever gig. I cried and cried with laughter. I hope he has a speedy recovery.

[@riverleigh3251]

Rod Gilbert on Taskmaster hilarious!

[@DruncanUK]

You don't know how close you were with the Rachel Riley question! The other woman on that same episode was Carol Vorderman who was the person that Rachel replaced on Countdown. Carol had been on the show for 26 years!

[@annother3350]

Close? He thought Kelly Hoppen was Rachel Riley!!! Sorry kelly but thats a stretch!!!!!!!!!

[@spennysmummy]

Carol vorderman was in that section of clips, but when they said it they were looking at Kelly Hoppen

[@benwinter5295]

17:10 You've just undone almost 30 years of Marmite's entire marketing campaign with your 'I didn't mind it...' 😆

[@Tanatie]

Yes, finally someone reacting to this comedy gold!

[@qwertyTRiG]

Rhod Gilbert is open about having ADHD. So thinking weirdly fast at times and coming out with logic that others can't follow may well be part of that.

[@SerenitySoonish]

I was wondering if he did! I could totally relate, my parents always said I was talking or doing things way too fast and couldn't understand what I was saying.

[@emmapadgett1181]

He says on taskmaster that his ADHD probably helps him on the show.

[@AutomaticDuck300]

❤ Rhod Gilbert. Saw one of his shows live, think it was the one with the anger management diary. Was at least 2 and a half hours with a meet and greet after. Really nice guy. I recommend watching and reacting to Rhod Gilbert’s Work Experience where he tries various different jobs. Oh, and Scotch eggs are amazing

[@PHDarren]

18:12 when the irresistible force meets the immovable object. Rhod Vs David.

[@Reevesy791]

Rhod is actually right about the stationary escalators. As you get towards the top the steps decrease in height so do give the impression of acceleration!

[@markthomas2577]

Good luck to Rhod, he's been diagnosed with cancer at age 53

[@annother3350]

Did you see his show Growing Pains? Sally Phillips was on one episode and she did this thing she did at university where she got a person to pick a random page and paragraph of the bible and used the text to predict the persons future. She tried it on Rhod and translated the outcome as 'you're going to come down with a terrible illness'!

[@briansmith6862]

A couple of things about the second story. Firstly, I've been to Vannes. And it's a beautiful town. Second, you questioned whether the woman on the opposing team was Rachel Riley. Well, actually, the "original" Rachel Riley, Carol Vorderman was the lady on David and Rhod's team in this clip. An insanely intelligent mathematician and engineer. BTW Daniel, you being of Colombian stock. Did you know there's a colony of wild hippos in Colombia?!!!

[@dougoneill7266]

I knew that, something to do with with the Medalin cartel and Pablo Escobar?

[@nadeansimmons226]

The clip where they thought it was Rachel Riley was Kelly Hoppen the interior designer although in another clip Carol was on one of the teams

[@stevewilldo3056]

Great reaction vid guys and hat's off to whoever put the original compilation together too. You both laughing and playing along while adding your own takes is never not fun. Rhod Gilbert is always good quality. Also, it just occurred to me that the fact you both guess along for each one but never add up points at the end or anything shows how much you totally get our UK comedy panel shows, because the scoring doesn't remotely matter only the humour!

[@vickywitton1008]

I love Rhod he is so funny. He does a radio show and has done several series of Rhod's work experience- which amazing and funny too. He also speaks fluent Welsh.

[@paulburfield3574]

Finally finally finally thank you lads for doing Rhod Gilbert. Told you that you would not be disappointed. The McKenzie crook testicle prest was true. If you want more Rhod Gilbert listen to his podcast called The Froth. The potato tattoo is part of one of his stand up shows. All worth watching.

[@The-Underbaker]

1. I can sympathise with Lee Mack having known Rhod for years and not noticing his webbed hand. My ex-supervisor trained me and we worked in the same office for over two years and it wasn't until someone else mentioned it to me one day that I noticed he was missing the index finger on his right hand! 2. Daniel's Hamster story gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Damn Daniel"... 😲 3. Scotch Eggs are delicious.

[@jonbolton3376]

You asked how do you swap a scotch egg for any item. This is the guy who less than 20 minutes earlier you'd discovered paid for a meal with a car lol. Thanks for reacting to this, it's a compilation i've been waiting to see from to by so many reactors. As for his French garage holiday, if he was 38 there was definitely internet around at the time.

[@masansr]

I believe they asked "how do you re-swap" a scotch egg. As in, how do you have it long enough for the reverse swap.

[@jonbolton3376]

Fair point, but still it is Rhod...

[@tommymac749]

please, youve got to do Rhods airport story, still one of the best and funniest stories ive ever heard :)

[@patrickholt2270]

Escalator steps are higher than stair steps, so walking up them does require more effort than walking up normal stairs. I think Escalator steps are tall so that there's a good difference between people standing on them, to avoid awkwardness. We call them Oven Gloves in the UK, even though they are mitten shaped.

[@grabtharshammer]

Also when you get towards the top on an escalator it starts to flatten out two or three "steps" before the end. So if you got got a momentum up running up the stopped escalator, that angle and height change at the end can be very offputting. I have flown off moving escalators at the top, by losing my balance

[@dontaskme7004]

Ironic that you thought the woman on Lee's team was Rachel Riley becasue the woman on Davids team was the original "Rachel Riley" - Carol Vorderman, the original person that did the maths, numbers and letters on Countdown. They make jokes about her on 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, usually that she's old or drunk.

[@OfficialFoshiznik]

You should watch his show “Rhod Gilberts work experience” where he does regular jobs like teacher, postman, etc. hilarious (especially the teacher one!)

[@jamiemacdonald6899]

Richie Edwards often appeared on stage with The Manic Street Preachers without his guitar plugged in. He was the main lyricist and spokesman in the early days but could hardly play.

[@adamstyles2265]

As a casual badminton player myself living in the UK, I know and have seen octogenerians and nonogenerians playing at incredibly good levels, it's insane to think about but the coolest thing to witness...a nightmare to play against lol

It was true about the ball-size apparatus! Kind sister... I live in France, many people transform garages into air BnB rooms, especially in seaside towns where people will be out all day. They can be quite nice(ish). & you’d be surprised how many people LOVE Marmite!! PS Rod’s doing much better since his various treatments,

[@markjones127]

It's interesting how you recognise Mackenzie Crook from Pirates of the Caribbean, in the UK he's best known for playing Gareth Keenan in the UK version of 'The Office', which was the Dwight Schrute character in the US version, would love to see you guys react to the UK version of The Office one day, it's brilliant!

[@markjones127]

He also went on to create a sitcom all of his own called 'Detectorists' which is superb, another I'd love to see you react to.

[@awsomewe360]

I understand Rhod's escalator thing 49:00. I think its because of the fact that the top step is always slightly smaller than the standard stair (because you can't stop those things perfectly).

[@andreasmozarino7366]

i don't think that Rhod's webbed finger is the reason that he couldn't play the guitar, because there is a man called Django Reinhardt { very sorry if i misspelled the name } who is a master of guitar who only has three fingers {because of an accident } and he developed a way to play guitar with it. and by the way Mr. Reinhardt story is amazing and should be an inspiration for everyone who are learning guitars { in my opinion }

[@chimpinaneckbrace]

Rhod sounds like he’s making it up off of the top of his head whether it’s true or not.

[@westmidlandsdashcam6717]

Love the channel and this reaction, just a quick on at the end you're debating whether he truly couldn't play the guitar with a webbed hand. The guitar thing was all a Lie, so webbed hand or not, the band thing didn't happen

[@ajcurran100]

My cat Betty loves a bit of baked beans 😹 And as for marmite I love it absolutely scraped on buttered toast. And let the toast cool a bit. Much easier to spread Scotch eggs are delicious

I think Rhod was being generous with the word friend. While I don’t know the details, my guess was he was living hand-to-mouth and found himself in a situation where he was eating with the people he was hangin’ with and had zero cash. If he didn’t get the car back they weren’t friends. I could see things like this playing out like it would among people who hang out for drug reasons.

Just so you're aware, I'm sure _some_ make their own Scotch Eggs, but the vast majority of us buy them already made and packaged in shops! Just thought I'd point that out since the dry description you read out _might_ make you think we habitually make them from scratch! And your reaction to the description was 100% spot on, they are delicious! Another 'food wrapped in other food' we are fond of that you might not have heard of is 'Pigs in Blankets'. Sausages wrapped in bacon before roasting. traditionally served as part of a 'Sunday Roast' type meal. Funnily enough and something I've literally just thought, we tend to consume bacon far more as 'Back Bacon', but with Pigs in Blankets we do use Rasher Bacon, you would likely just know it as Bacon! Again delicious...or Lush as many of us say.
