Petition to release the full uncut version.

[@CalvinLimuel]

they published the whole episode

[@JohnCallaghanMusic]

I believe this segment was edited down from a much longer studio recording. I too would be interested in a 25-minute version of Horse Story.

[@johnhoney657]

@@CalvinLimuel Supposedly it took 30 minutes to tell this one story in the studio, hence the "Look at me!" from Brydon. I think that's what is being asked for.

[@kryptonianguest1903]

@@johnhoney657 I think the look at me was due to Mr Bridges laughing so much at Mr Mitchell's rant.

[@darrenpierson2592]

I want to see the whole 30 minutes as well!

'the trouble with this game is it plays tricks with your mind' and that was before bob mortimer showed up

[@antster1983]

I was going to say "And then Bob Mortimer started appearing and frazzled David's brain!"

[@elpennywisefromouterspace]

He was so happy at the end when hitting the button knowing it was true hahaha. Absolutely love this clip, makes me laugh every rewatch.

[@Semisonic56]

The greatest moment in the history of this show.

[@Dalewt75]

This and Lee Mack's spider story.

[@mercifulzeus01]

I just can't believe David Mitchell never considered a career as a criminal prosecution lawyer...

[@Bcsmith333]

Our gain that he didn't.

[@antster1983]

His mortal nemesis, Bob Mortimer, _WAS_ a solicitor before going into comedy. He represented Pulp's Jarvis Cocker after his protest during Michael Jackson's performance at the 1996 Brit Awards.

[@MyScorpion42]

has he ever played one on TV? There's an idea...

[@spaceodds1985]

He did, but he’s too honest

[@davejones1074]

What made this extra special was the fact that all of the cast were on point, right down to Brian's patting Lee, all of them had their moments, absolute quality......

[@PastaRiiCe123]

It's the David getting so into it and explaining it and going OTT which does it for me "I would have thought that logically when you were returning it having thought that he had come from the stable, but you were lucky enough to not to have walked to the stable before hiring it, you might nevertheless have thought "well the stable is where he's gotta go back to" rather than, well sod them this is where we picked it up from. I'm going to stand here 300 yards away from the stable going "COME OVER HERE. COME AND GET YOUR OWN HORSE" at which point locals start waving going"NOO ! YOU KEEP" 😂😂

[@peach7210]

I've seen this multiple times and it never ceases to be hysterically funny. 😂😂😂

[@neithere]

This is perfection. No matter how many times you watch it. Every single person on screen contributed to it. While I mostly remember David and Lee's bits, the guy on David's team provided crucial ideas for others to bounce off from and the other two are memorable simply by being in tears or shock, their faces being essential ingredients for the whole thing. Although we all would like to see the uncut version, editing must be praised too.

[@alderaanic1042]

Probably the funniest ever story on would I lie to you. It's so ridiculous everyone's in tears of laughter.

[@effess8698]

This is one of the most classic WILTY clips but I have always wondered what happened afterwards... there is no real resolution. Like what happened to the horse in the end? Worrying visions of a Bulgarian pet food factory come to mind But I am hoping that one day Kevin will be on the show again and in the "This is my..." round, someone will lead a horse out and Kevin's card will read "this is Dobbin the horse I once accidentally bought in Bulgaria"

[@ObliviousMonk]

that horse is mince meat by now pal

[@supermandad9172]

The guys got out their costume went home and back next day for another scam on the next suspecting British tourist.

[@adivhahomathivha1881]

The horse is named psycho

[@Silver_Owl]

Kevin Bridges has said that they called his friend's father. The Dad got in touch with a Bulgarian animal rights group, and they agreed to take the horse and make sure it was cared for, so the horse was handed over to them. Kevin said he wanted to keep it, but it wouldn't fit in that little frame they have to measure your hand luggage.

[@Silver_Owl]

The horse could still be alive, depending on how old it was at the time. As of 2023, KB is 37 so this happened 19 years ago. Domestic horses generally live 25-30 years.

[@vahidfor2903]

I watched almost all episodes of WILTY and this easily goes in the top three funniest stories. And l laugh hard every time for 25min so I give myself 5min break.

[@Yankee7000]

About the best WILTY story ever…

[@LloydBraun11]

Certainly one of them. Anything with Bob Mortimer is top level.

[@martinhampton6964]

I watch this about every six months and quite genuinely believe it helps keep me alive. This is complete joy, every time

[@mrc4545]

Someone needs to make an animation of this story

[@emilybirch2861]

Yes, like the Ricky Gervais show!!! It would be hilarious!!!!

[@TheBlackDemon1996]

I knew it was true when he named the currency of Bulgaria. How else would he know that?

[@Star_Joker]

He could've risked lying I guess.

[@Mark-wd5zb]

He could have actually gone to Bulgaria but not have accidentally purchased a horse. Assuming that in Bulgaria, all items are purchased in the same currency, it wouldn't be difficult to have that knowledge.

[@MuchWhittering]

I know the currencies of lots of countries, doesn't mean I've ever bought a horse in those places, or even gone there.

[@tobos8909]

He could have gone on holiday in Bulgaria without the horse riding

[@RH-hz9ly]

I knew UK is using Pound and I've never been there or even near it

[@markhardcastle9820]

Bob is by far the best contestant imo, but this was by far the funniest segment.

[@vladimirimp]

I watch this every few months. If it ever disappears I’m not sure I’ll be able to go on.

[@sellosililo5737]

"Counterfeit horse" 😂😂

[@johncapewell7520]

As it turns out, having an English man, a Scottish man and a Welsh man on the same show is a funny affair 😂. The fact that it was true is brilliant aswell. I would have definatly gone with a lie. I think Kevin knew what he was doing when he was making it look like he was getting caught up in the lie. Strategy 😂.

[@TheJoeT81]

Keely’s face at the end!

[@kryptonianguest1903]

[@AB-it5lb]

The story is bonkers😂. David raised a lot of good points, the rate is insanely expensive. Kevin was scammed. I can’t still believe this was true!

[@TheComixkid2099]

From Guy A's perspective, it was a very good deal for Kevin, who would get to keep the horse forever.

[@LindaTaylor-r2o]

I never will get tired of watching this,absolute treasure.

[@austinlay4085]

So basically the guy they rented the horse from was just another customer who made an easy 200 lev

[@redbull123]

not even a customer - he would’ve pretended to be a worker and was doing the previous customer a favour by not having them take the horse all the way back to the stables. Basically the previous customer gave the horse to a random guy and then Kevin gave him £90 for it lol

[@kingalf4828]

theres only 1 story thats tops/matches Bob mortimer tales and thats this 1.. 9/10 for Kev.

[@jamesgrout-d7f]

Not just the story, but the reactions and way its told, is one of the funniest things I have ever seen,

[@bandit2048]

[@siesonaladventures]

I have read other comments that said that this sequence was much longer - I'd love to see that version in its entirety warts and all and all bloopers too unedited....❤🎉

[@tux1968]

It was never released. But in the live studio recording session, it did take a fair bit longer than what could be broadcast. Rob's exasperation can really only be understood in that context, of the story going on for way too long.

I accidentally bought a full size piano keyboard on Saturday. I was looking at slippers for Mother’s Day. I knew I *wanted* a new keyboard. I thought I marked it as “to look at later”. It was only when I checked the receipt after paying for the slippers that I realised I put the keyboard my “to be bought” cart!

[@LetsbeHonestOfficial]

How would he know the specific renting time of 25x2 minutes unless someone gave him that information? And whoever did, why would they if they were selling the horse?

[@tux1968]

It was a stolen horse, and the thief wanted to get some money for it. He told Kev whatever it took to get some cash and get away. The horse didn't belong to the stable, so couldn't be returned there, like if Kev had properly hired one of their horses. So, Kev never really owned the horse, he just had possession of a stolen horse without knowing how to return it to the proper owner. I do wonder who took the horse in the end, and if it ever got returned to its owner.

[@LetsbeHonestOfficial]

@@tux1968 Yeah that makes sense. I also wonder how it got resolved in the end.

😂😚😚😚😂😂😂😂😂

[@animeguy6877]

It's me Kevin. The Bulgarian guy at the shop was trying his best to explain things in broken English, and my friend and I were doing our best to understand. But let's talk about the price. I paid 200 Lev for this horse. That's about £90, give or take. I mean, sure, it's a great deal if you're looking to own a horse for a whopping 25 minutes. Talk about getting your money's worth. In the end, I had to take it back to the random point on the road where I first picked him up(not the stable). When I tried to return the horse, the shopkeeper looked at me like I had just recited Shakespeare in Martian. I guess the locals were quite entertained by our little circus act. Either that or, they had been desperately trying to get rid of this horse named Psycho for ages. But hold your horses, there's more. Turns out, the horse wasn't even from a legit stable. Nope. It was a counterfeit horse operation going on. Two guys in a horse costume, I assume. I guess they realised the horse couldn't handle more than 25 minutes of fame. Smart move. In the world of horse shopping, it's all about the unexpected surprises. And hey, who knows, you might just end up with your own Psycho. And by that, I mean a horse, not a psychological thriller. It's an adventure you won't regret! So, would I recommend this horse shop? Well, if you're into spontaneous horse ownership and have a penchant for misadventures, go for it. Just be prepared for the unexpected and don't count on returning what you thought was a rental.

@@ClarkDroneFilms Given that WILTY? Nope! has 20 times the subscribers and has existed for seven years longer than this official channel, I assumed this isn't official in any way, shape, or form. Instead of starting a competing channel that everyone assumes is fake, it would have made far more sense to just buy the unofficial one and monetise the 640 videos already uploaded. (And, no, I don't own the unofficial channel.)

​@@-_James_-two channels that I know of are BBC official channel and Banijay something or other that upload plenty of old wilty content on here, gets so frustrating to be so bombarded with them when I just want to go back to some old clips for some laughs & not have the very same video appearing on another channel right after watching this?
