Reginald D. Hunter: "The D in my name stands for Delicious" | Would I Lie To You?

[@Statsy10]

He impressively deadpanned that whole thing. Even Lee couldn't hold it in. 😂😂😂

[@JLF201]

He ran with this beautifully.

[@JaneDoe-ci3gj]

Agreed the best delivery! I loved it! Delicious and his sister Scrumptious!🤣

You know the definition of ‘deadpanned’, right?

One of the all-time highlights of the show. Saw him in my home town of Northampton, England. One of the best stand-up gigs I've ever seen.

[@ferretyluv]

I love how this guy just popped out of Atlanta to become a phenom on the BBC.

[@orangewarm1]

He didn't just pop. He was in the UK for 12 years.

Yeah I'm not sure Reg caught that joke tbh.

Some of the best ones on WILTY are when the card gives a near impossible lie and the person just runs with it.

This has to be the funniest single episode of W.I.L.T.Y. - Lee Mack is a funny man but even HE couldn’t hold it together in this clip with Reginald D.

[@terenceretter5049]

He really has a delicious sense of humour!

[@jaybestnz]

I have seen this multiple times and I always forget if it is a lie or not. 😂

Reginald is just a jewel in the World's crown !

That might be what the D stands for ;-)

[@clauditube12]

This is gold. I wish they let the two go on a little longer before David puts an end to it.

[@Mefgar]

I saw him a small local pub venue last year in Dublin, Clondalkin. It's a mostly working class area and the venue was small that even at the back you could get to the stage in 5 seconds of walking. This man is funny as fuck in person, he likes to play with the audiences comfortability without making it awkward. The man's a genius.

[@markfox1545]

Confortability isn't a word.

I found out my grandad's middle name was I. I thought it had stood for something, but found out from my mom it was just "I" lol

[@somnaw]

I would love to know if there has ever been a situation on the show where the card was supposed to be a lie the writers made up, but it was actually true

[@albond]

Writer goes on the show: "I once made a ridiculous sounding story for one of the panelists and it turned out to be true"

[@RFC3514]

There's definitely some where the guests say the story is true but it's actually a lie (namely one of Brian Blessed's).

[@Glasstable2011]

Bob Mortimer’s stories are just that

[@kimladd5100]

He is brilliant in this!

I like reg, he’s a pretty funny guy. Give him h8s own show.

[@tomhyde8212]

to win on this show, and the card you were given was true, why would you try to convince the other panel members that it's true

[@zmalevo2126]

You have to act like you are trying to convince them of something that is untrue, for example by appearing to struggle with the questions.

[@ajorngjdonaydbr]

Pretty much part of the game, you can make it so vivid of a story and bluff them into thinking it's a lie. They still decide whether it's true or a lie

[@jakebcfc1992]

Someone explain the ‘French Golden’ joke please

[@X.00896]

Golden Delicious is the most widely-grown variety of apple in France

[@oscarramage95]

The D in his name actually stands for Darnell

[@bobtheskutterbot]

Which d?

[@spelcheak]

Why did they laugh at Homer?

[@Neville133]

Probably the delivery

[@greasyphilip]

Homer Simpson reference probably. Making some kind of odd connection to "Delicious"

[@Will-nn6ux]

I think part of it might have been that it *is* quite a dignified name. Like Reginald, unlike 'Delicious'. They were laughing about how he was building his argument.

[@raditz9676]

Not a very 'black male in the 1930s America' name :)

"Reginald is a German name"…...… I guess that's a lie too 😂🥲🥹

[@laynewebb5986]

I thought it was Latin because "Regina" and "reign", but I looked it up and Wikipedia says the Latin name came from the Germanic name "Raginald" combining "ragin" (counsel) and "wald" (ruler). I can't find a another source online to confirm, but it at least seems to line up with what he said. Interesting!

[@MichelleSt4820]

@@laynewebb5986thank you for this very interesting information. I just couldn’t believe it because I'm from Austria, a German speaking country, and I don’t know any German person who is named Reginald.
