"Snipers dream" gets me every single time, one of the best sayings Ever👀🤷‍♂️👏👏😂😂

Bob is national treasure. And completely off his head! Always brilliant viewing.

[@katherinedowling4246]

Bob is just brilliant

[@alan-]

Don't mind you pausing it, that's cool, but when you restart, skip back 5 seconds with the arrow keys because you keep missing jokes when you pause! Great reactions to great videos. Bob and the inbetweeners are the bomb!

[@JD-eo7dr]

It's a Rookie Reaction mistake that there's a few who ain't got on to it still 😂

[@TheycallmeMrWonka]

I didn't notice much of that in this particular video but have noticed it in a couple of others. We need to remember that we know exactly where we'd laugh, it's not universal though, sometimes it's not it's been missed, it's just that line that sets us off doesn't hit a reactors funny bone quite the same. As long as I'm watching a genuine reaction and not the reactors who exagerate I can live with that disappointment 👍. You can genuinely see from his face that this one really amused and entertained.

[@jackmehoffe9372]

Tell him Alan

[@grantwilkinson1689]

Let him do what he wants if u wanna watch it uninterrupted watch the origanal i watch his channel to see how us blokes are liking british comedy and learning stuff bless them

[@rollomaughfling380]

@@Nordorf Agreed. And another rookie mistake. And so easy to fix these days with affordable clean-working gear via Amazon, and the plethora of KZbin tutorials out there on the very subject. There's a reason why video editors use over-ear closed-back headphones-to catch stuff like that. It takes a truly remarkable reactor to get a sub out of me with that kind of crap production value. I've pointed it to other reactors who've come back with excuses. "You don't understand-it's really hot here." Well, don't make videos, then-just enjoy your fan, I guess. The long-established fact is, unprofessional sound=bad product, end of discussion. You could have a $70,000 ARRIRAW camera rig with Roger Deakins behind it, and if your audio is crap, you failed. Talk to any film/media professor or professional. And 80% of them out there are flogging their freakin' Patreon. Imagine the gall of asking people to pay money out of their paychecks every month to listen to a loud, over-compressed fan . . .

[@JD-eo7dr]

Lee Mack has one of the quickest brains in comedy his comebacks are brilliant

[@nizmollusk]

The moment when Bobs insanity and wit caught you mid drink was priceless , keep up the good work.

[@thehappycoder3760]

Very good, love your reation, I met Bob once when I was out walking in Devon (where I lived) I didn’t realise it at the time as I was talking first of all to his wife but he then starting telling me a tale about Lundy Island which was funny. I wish I realised at the time. He is just like that in real life, a very nice and friendly bloke.

[@valeriebrown4769]

In the 50’s and 60’s these are the games we used to play. Bearing in mind there were no computers, phones, anything at all. Your whole entertainment was outside. You only came home for food and bed. These really were the best of times and I wouldn’t change them for anything.

[@Robin-cf9ts]

Agreed 👍

[@clothilde1623]

Greg Davies’ unbridled delight when Bob rips the apple apart is truly a joy to behold!

[@ericg5791]

Even away from panel shows,Bobs a delight to watch alongside Paul Whitehouse in the angling/fishing to series they do,just relaxing whilst fishing and reminiscing with light comic anecdotes and insights about their lives

[@dannjp75]

When Bob caught that bass in the show I thought I was going to wet myself laughing.

[@Pluggit1953]

You have to see The Fast Show which features Paul Whitehouse. It’s a sketch show which features the same characters in each episode, usually with a catchphrase at the end.

[@boldmeregarden637]

I like that Paul Whitehouse (after having his own heart problems) reached out to Bob after his heart problems and invited him to go fishing. Its a wonderful chilled out TV show

[@Whippy99]

Those series’ are absolutely hilarious. Paul is the perfect foil for Bob. 😊

[@Pseudonym-aka-alias]

When Bob is telling his stories I don't care if they're true or not😄

[@paulwalton1222]

Bob's friend with the cheese used to smudge cheddar up one side of his face and edam up the other side of his face. He had a very cheesey grin.

[@davidforman6191]

Theft and shrubbery is a hybrid of what we used to get up to as kids. Hiding in people's back gardens plus Grand National (named after the horse race), which entailed running through front gardens and jumping over any fences/shrubbery that divided properties.

[@joannarigby1989]

Rhod Gilbert, Henning When and Greg Davies are all also fantastically funny on would I lie to you, there are compilations of all of them too. Would love to watch you react to those

[@DJKSB58]

Henning is hilarious

[@liamgbooth]

25:17 Never take a drink when Bob Mortimer opens his mouth 😂

[@gregkral4467]

Tarantulas are great pets. Had a rosie the size of my hand, and have big hands..... got it used to being touched without attack posture, after a while with gloves, it got used to walking, after a bit, you could just pick it up between the middle pair of legs and put her on the shoulder and walk around, she would hang out there, then try to climb the tv eventually, had a darkroom for photography then, and she would hang out in the corner by enlarger and make a little bit of web to hang out on while I did the pictures. She was also very clean in her pen. Lovely critter.

[@l01ner]

Once got a pink toed tarantula put on me in a pub and it was the cutest thing. Tickled as it walked up my arm. Lovely little thing.

[@brooza664]

I usually watch this show while eating my evening meal. As soon as Bob starts talking, I put down my food and drink to avoid choking

[@gregsoddworld]

Bob is an absolute national treasure!

[@arthurspils2565]

One of the favourite elements of Bob's appearances on WILTY for me is the reactions of David and Lee to his stories - David's just general look of "what the hell is going on" whenever Bob talks and Lee's hand-on-face "ffs..." which you see in almost every story 🤣🤣🤣

[@michaels640]

We used to go across back gardens when we were teenagers…. But we didn’t chant anything 🤣

[@lemmy9809]

That's why you the King boomer..I've seen that a hundred times and I still cry every time ..what a life he must of led ..and I live 10 miles from where he lived .I can relate to everything he says ie..standard fireworks etc

[@glyngasson8450]

Bob is a qualified solicitor too, look up his Cockroach King story

[@markcruise]

Bob is a national treasure. What a bizarre strange life he’s lived.

[@AlmosttheGoodlife]

Greg Davis is also great on WILTY - worth checking out. Also, Bob was a brilliant contestant on Taskmaster (Greg is the Taskmaster) see if you can find clip of Bob giving Alex a special cuddle.

[@thepetermullins]

Additionally, Greg's stories on Graham Norton are incredible!

[@Jake-vh6jp]

And who can forget Gregs Chris Eubank impression on 8 Out of 10 Cats. One of the funniest things ive seen.

[@Miroslava_Ivanova]

When I think of Bob on Taskmaster I always think of Do we strike you? first 😅🤣

[@jamiehobbsuk]

I reccomend Greg too, and also the Claudia Winkleman and Henning Wehn complilations

[@nancydavies6446]

Yes that's a great one

[@True_Heretic]

I think there a two types of comedian. Those who are funny all the time, and those who are only funny in front of an audience. Those who see comedy as natural as breathing, and those who see it as a paycheck because they have the talent and luck to understand and use Funny. Bob Mortimer, in my opinion, is definitely one of those people who are going to be funny all the time. With everyone. And whilst many of the greatest comedians are brilliant yet sulky crafters of most of the best humour, you'd not want to share a train journey with one of them, compared to someone like Bubbly Bob. What a great guy. PS: I'll be travelling on the Skegness to Mucklethwaite trainline this Tuesday afternoon in case any comedians are interested. All hilarious company welcome. NOTE. Circus clowns do not count as "hilarious company". I'm not going through that again!

[@DavidSmith-cx8dg]

You do seem to be becoming hooked by WILTY , it's a great show and there are quite a few compilations out there if that's how you want to react to it . Gregg Davies ( the Inbetweeners and The Taskmaster ) is great on this , also James Acaster , Rhod Gilbert and so many others .

[@Cleow33]

The joy on Greg Davies’ face when Bobs apple stunt happens is everything.

My God how I love this channel, I love KB's enthusiam and pure joy for 'would I lie to you' and how he marks his scores down....Great stuff!

[@stevemcmosh4271]

I recommend a full episode of Shooting Stars hosted by Bob Mortimer and Vic Reeves. It was a mental and surreal celebrity quiz show and absolutely hilarious. They're all on youtube. Series 1-5 (I think) are failry poor quality but definitely the best. But the later couple of series are also fantastic. edit: all series 1-7 seem to be uploaded at 240p, which is a shame, but it's still absolutely worth a watch)

King, please consider this one for reacting to, really cracked me up: *The Greg Davies & Chris Eubank Impression & Reaction in One Video | 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown* (Channel 4)

[@joegillam1497]

You have to react to Greg Davies (Inbetweeners star) on the Graham Norton Show telling Jodie Foster, Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling one of his stories about teaching hearing impaired kids. So funny.

[@stevehough8727]

Totally agree about that clip

[@swarm69]

Top reaction Sir . As previously stated Bob is such a brilliant story teller and around funny guy. Keep up your good work as you are a brilliant reactor

[@emmafrench7219]

Love it!! I can watch these clips so many times and they always make me cry with laughter. Great stuff. Thank you once again for cheering me up with your great reactions. Now go get practicing with an apple. All the best from the South of the UK.👍

[@revbenf6870]

As I'm currently reading his autobiography "And Away", I think he does actually have a cat called "Goodmonson". The firework story features in it along with several others, including the shrubbery story. BTW, Would I Lie to You is in general a whole worthwhile rabbit hole in its own right. Also you would have seen the red haired lady in After Life as one of Ricky's colleagues...

[@radarlockeify]

Philomena Cunk!

[@jkcphm]

Thing is with Bob he’s been around so long the craziness has become normalised he’s a national treasure over here so funny.

[@karkatvantas9557]

You should absolutely react to part 2, it’s hilarious. The compilations for Henning Wehn, Greg Davies, Rhod Gilbert and James Acaster are also incredible.

[@omegaaltana9426]

Loved when you spat the water out laughing at the "I'd have used a lute" joke! So funny 🤣

[@williebauld1007]

I like how you are getting educated on Bob but catching Lee Mack and other UK comedians at the same time 👍🏻

[@neilburgess9652]

So glad you listened to us and did the Mortimerian tales so its in order to make sense. This was brilliant and an equally awesome reaction too :)

[@CEP73]

Bob Mortimer and Vic Reeves did a series of improvised shorts (for Facebook I think?) called 'afternoon delights' years ago. They are too funny. Also 'The Club' skits they did on their tv show are just hysterical!!

[@pekkadegroot8326]

The Dr Shakamoto skit, where Roger Lewis asks Shakamoto about his licence to practice medicine is one of my all time favourites. And The Club is a classic. Kinky John is effing brilliant.

[@alabama1413]

Really enjoyed that KB! Your reactions are hilarious in themselves & live the fact that you get a kick out of watching UK TV panel shows. Best wishes 👍

[@Charishard]

Glad you really enjoyed it, I have watched the compilation so many times and it always makes.me laugh!

[@magnolia7277]

I can watch these over and over and still laugh.

[@SimonWattsWILDPresentationsUK]

If you want to know the history of Bob then go search for Comedy Connections Shooting Stars here on YT. Takes you right from him first meeting his long-term partner Vic Reeves... Another excellent time KB! Cheers dude.

[@jamiefarrell6049]

I taught myself to rip apples in half after seeing Bob do it!😂

[@reallivebluescat]

Something i have noticed about Bob is that he seems to be a very visual thinker. When asked why he named such and such person, then reply is often a physical or visual characteristic. Visual thinkers are sometimes good storytellers, bc they can paint a very vivid "image" . Also he is super funny and a lateral thinker

[@brunolondinese5857]

Gres Davies' reaction to the splitting of the apple is just... bizzarre. The little girl within him takes over.

[@theunsnaude3634]

Very sincere reactions and commentary from you KB, one of your best videos to date! All the best and thanks for the entertainment!

[@petertaylor3446]

Thanks for the vid bud, Bob is class

[@wingfootmcnova9130]

Yea recognizing the guest players is the best thing about panel shows. I knew of Jimmy Carr and stared watching the panel shows he was on and then finding other guests funny I found them on other panel shows and that led on and on. Now I know the faces and characters of many funny comedians in the British sphere of television. It's great.

[@mrmeach]

You've started it now fella... you have to watch more. To be fair all the episodes are pretty solid, great show with some brilliant guests. Love to see you love it, keep up the great channel mate.

Another great reaction. There's actually a second compilation (Channel 4 had to break it apart too) called "Mortimeriados", which you would most certainly enjoy. It's a bit shorter, so might make for easier reactions. EDIT: Ah, man - you should've caught the little clip of him at the end! Very silly

I have absolutely no interest in any other Reaction channels, but I think KB's reactions are so genuinely sincere, and the fact that he has the sense of humour to find British comedy funny unlike so many other Americans or most people from outside the UK. We have so many different styles, and its great to see comedians with such different comedy traits come together on shows like this and make it absolutely hilarious. 8 out of 10 cats is also a great example of this.
