Was Jimmy Carr fed coffee as a baby? - Would I Lie To You? - Series 7 Episode 8 Preview - BBC

[@osully67]

"Did you say pheasant or peasant?" I love the banter between David Mitchell and Lee Mack

[@PeninsulaPaintings]

Agreed! Even when the focus isn't on them, their chemistry still steals the show! I love how they make each other laugh.

[@jugimons3094]

osully67 lee Mack is one of the wittiest people ever . He must be a genius I reckon .

[@playingforbritain]

Glass of water analogy was perfect

[@NotAHero98]

Honestly, haven't laughed like that for ages!

[@sahiljaipur]

Yup. Was surprised it didn't get a bigger laugh from the panel and audience. Jimmy was the only one to give it the reaction it deserved.

[@koryfredrick1164]

could be it did get a bigger laugh once he explained it, there is a cut right after

[@Schmidtelpunkt]

I guess it is one of those delayed jokes, where the audience reacts at different speeds, leading to a less explosive laughter. The kind of jokes which sneaks onto you and become painfully funnier over a few seconds. Rob's face afterwards is a representation of that feeling.

[@sinkezie]

Imagine Jimmy Carr showing up around a corner on the street at night with that laugh

[@rossonero135]

Hahahaha made my day :D

[@burningembers4229]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAAAAAAA

[@AZooKeeper]

+sinkezie hahahahahahahha holy fuck

[@reneefarley788]

[@SonGoku-tp8gb]

"its like a distinction between having a glass of water and going swimming" is it just me? or was explanation incredibly clever of him to come up with that on the spot so quickly?

[@brenvagaza]

gokuson kun i realize he and Lee are incredible smart and sharp

[@qy72hund]

Still Crows, no. you just didn't understand it properly. listen to him again. hopefully next time you'll get it. don't worry it happens lol even to normal people

[@EMETRL]

it was most likely supposed to be nonsense, but then as he realized what he said, he came up with a funny explanation

[@Lilithly]

+E_M_E_T I doubt it was supposed to be nonsense, because it made perfect sense.

You're just a slow consumer drone.

[@michaelgill1529]

Lee's 'kiddy chino' comment was so quick, absolutely brilliant!

[@angeladam]

I didn't catch that, what sid he say?

[@anouman9883]

"A kiddy chino is just a very small pair of trousers. You probably do use them!"

[@angeladam]

haha, thanks :D

[@hottopic8455]

"Well it's like the difference between drinking a glass of water and going swimming." A perfect analogy by David Mitchell there xD

[@zeebrown1007]

Lee Mack and David Mitchell have such quick wit, so funny

[@morganstiefvater1693]

I can't believe that they didn't ask him what his parents said when he asked them why they gave him coffee.

[@junbh2]

Maybe they did but it wasn't funny enough to make the edit?

[@megamcgee]

@@junbh2 4 years later! I suspect it was because it was poor advice the bbc don’t want to share

[@Try95th]

I wanna know so bad

[@HellHunter00]

@@Try95th I can't speak for Jimmy but as a toddler of 3 or 4, I once got a sip of tea somehow and loved it. I managed to annoy my mother into giving me milky tea in my bottle. I hated that she diluted it with that much milk but toddlers can't be choosers. I also used to get shots of alcohol from a very young age but that was by mistake. My eldest sister used to buy what she thought was a Japanese herbal tonic drink that aids in general wellbeing/digestion etc. and I only found out it was a Japanese herbal liqueur containing 14% ABV as an adult. My mother most likely used to drink it during her pregnancy with me as well.

[@tom80cruse]

That analogy by David was superb! The audience didn't quite grasp it but it was great tho

[@camtothemax]

V4Vendetta I really don't get it. Care to explain?

[@Disney50Girl]

Chris Hartwig basically jimmy was saying he was given coffee as a child, the woman asked (i don’t know her name sorry) did they put coffee in his milk? he said no he was just given genuine coffee with more milk in it than average to make it a milky coffee so david said the difference between the two is ‘having a glass of water’ it’s the water and coffee then the milk added but ‘going swimming’ is putting the coffee in a glass of milk

[@Boesley21]

The blood of a peasant comment had me rolling on the floor :p

Jimmy Carr's laugh is absolutely terrifying.

I forgot he laughed like that and when he laughed it scared me cause I didn't know where this fuckin demon goose cackle came from😂

So is his face.

[@videogabe_0]

Someone said it sounded like a glorious bird mating call

[@callumhardy5098]

[@MxMattyB]

I've heard it said that giving caffeine to a child will tax its development. So I suppose since Jimmy's fully developed he must've avoided that tax too!

[@fastndd]

🤣

I love Jimmy's reaction to David's analogy. He appreciates other men's jokes like no other.

[@TheTruthKiwi]

And the fact that he got it straight away before the explanation. Pretty sharp these comedians

Jimmy Carr's laugh is hilarious!

[@Callllum]

Literally the least hilarious thing possible

[@Yizak]

+Callum Docherty Yeah it gets old fast

[@AnnaMaeHare]

+Yikak4 Jimmy is about 5 times less awful than stampylonghead. My boys LOVE his Minecraft videos and his laugh makes me want to smash the computer, rip the modem out of the wall, move us all to a hut on a rock in the sea and wait for Hagrid to pick my boys up for Hogwarts.

[@HashimAziz1]

+Angela Gustafson I see you've put some thought into this.

[@NotAHero98]

His laugh really overshadows over comedian's jokes.

[@Breakfast221]

Jimmy Carr's laugh is one of the best things on British television.

[@Lones555]

But he doesn't use it all the time, makes me think it is fake. There are plenty of clips of him laughing without that laugh...

[@henriknykvist]

Hahahahahaaaaaa!

[@brucerouffian2630]

He explained that. He used to be embarrassed by it, and then he got lots of comments when it slipped out so he just decided to go with it. Apparently he laughs on an in-breath, rather than out, like most people.

[@DaliborOkoro]

Bruce Rouffian Yes I laugh inwardly as well, its not as bad as Jimmy's but it can be quite embarrassing.

[@BadassRandomness]

People can have several different laughs. I have like 3 different laughs hahaha

I am always here if people need to talk or to get their minds of something x

[@Godfather061]

I don’t know what all the fuss was about when Jimmy Carr said that as a child he was given coffee with milk to drink. My grandmother used to make me a cup of coffee with milk in it quite a bit of milk actually though less than half when I was staying with her before my third birthday for several months. The strange thing is that at that time I liked the coffee with milk but when I became older I couldn’t stand coffee and I still can’t.

[@AliceP.]

I almost couldn't finish the video because of his laugh and then he creeped me out even more on 2:28

[@findon2467]

Jimmy Carr's laugh makes me so happy it's so peculiar 😭😂

[@123oonagh1]

is this a new series??? if yes wat nights is it on? love this show, soooooo funny :)

[@NishantChettri]

I can't believe they didn't stand up and applaud David's comparison. (clap) (clap)

[@malenotyalc]

Giving an infant coffee could kill them. Milk or formula are important to have the right fat to water ratio. Babies have a much higher water content for a few weeks so drinking even just water or too much water to formula can over hydrate them leading to nervous system problems due to sodium levels being askew and cells can start expolding leading to septic blood. This is where Jimmy Carr's death laugh comes from.

[@DJGomes88]

Coffe as a child... This explains sooooo much...

[@citizen2350]

That explains a lot.....

[@poppyorangeflower]

is there any connection betw. coffee and laughing...?

[@Count-Roflmfao]

Everyone complimenting about the analogy....But they were giving him coffee in his milk. He normally had milk, but coffee was added to perk things up. Unless he normally had black coffee and milk was added to temper in down.

[@keithbrowning2]

aditya g No, saying “coffee in his milk” implies milk was the main part of the drink and a small amount of coffee was added but Jimmy clarified that it was actual coffee he was having.

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

Jimmy Carr was never a baby. He was built in a haunted mannequin factory.

A classic sign of a hyperactive child (ADHD nowadays), you give them a coffee and they slow down. I still need a cup of coffee before I go to bed, otherwise I do not sleep properly.

I always used to finish my dad's coffee. Not nearly on Jimmy's level, but still.

[@gailwilkinson8848]

It quite common for babies/youngsters to have warm milky coffee, few years ago...before the "" do this -do not brigrade " was invented

If it's true, it certainly explains a lot.

I think to be fair to the BBC during the series 1 sneak previews they had on youtube, They never revealed each lie and a fair few comments was just sarcastic sighs of oh great we have to watch the show to find out.

[@gareth2736]

Didn't seem unbelievable to me. I was given milky tea as a small child whenever my parents had tea and wine in lemonade at sunday lunch from as youmg as i can remember. Guessing it was normal in the 70s.

[@jaymarsbar]

If it was a lie, he wouldn't have said that his parents gave him booze

[@FutureAbe]

why on earth would you give your child coffee? Me don't understand

[@TrolenWu]

+Abe Grimm because it tastes good and anything in moderation is unlikely to be harmful... British children are better behaved than most children from the Americas....

[@spacecadet35]

+Abe Grimm If they are hyperactive, it slows them down.
