Was David Mitchell's childhood friend a bucket?

[dob1997]

*gasp* Steven! Steven! I can explain!!

[LeMalBoyd]

You could tell at the end, the whole audience, and the guests, wanted it to be true :(

[ShimmyDigg]

i fucking love how witty we brits are. im watching this on youtube because i live in canada. there is absolutely and i mean absolutely, no wit in north america. its so depressing.

[JaCkMiChEaLs0n]

lee and david are fucking great together

[chrisjwmartin]

3 people are friends with Steven Tatlock.

[mchandler2112]

Reminds me of Johnny Twobyfour from Ed Edd and Eddy

[AssassinOfRomeAOR]

@mchandler2112 Yes! Just yes! I was just about to say that!

[Datelesswonders]

That was a good lie...maybe he should be a politician.

[MechaAigis]

I HATE DIPLOMACY but I would play it with David Mitchell.

[Terra1311]

the guy at the right, in the centre is always a dick to him lol.

[Gchwow]

I really wanted this one to be true. xD

[F12Y14N25]

would love david as a politician, imagine the debates!

[andy231190]

I shouldn't have read the top comments first D:

[Narapoia1]

What the fuck is wrong with people posting punchlines or quotes from clips or writing something that ruins the video in the comments? And as for the string of even bigger fucking idiots that 'thumbs up' the retard comments, you should be ashamed of yourselves

[ChainsawVsGod]

@Narapoia1

Rofl...

They should be ashamed of their selves? The fucks your problem.

[Narapoia1]

@ChainsawVsGod

I'm getting sick of all the stupid out there.

[Str4t0sPh3rE]

It would be more hilarious if this was a possession round and there is a bucket with a face on it. Then, Lee would ask David to converse with Steven. XD

[ryanjamesweeks]

if you type in 'are david m...' to google, one of the top suggested search results is 'are david mitchell and lee mack friends?' i wish there was an answer!

[SDWLLB]

Diplomacy is a truly awful game...

[crossycrossfield]

women trying to be funy mmmmmmmmmm dunt hapen thier just npt funy

[adamhannis]

"this is your girlfriend" - Comical Genius!

[animequeen20012003]

Did anyone hear an 'aw' when David said that his dad painted a face on a bucket?

[zagreus101]

Diplomacy ftw

[SayHolaSunglasses]

"Usually I'd call him Steven."

Lol, he's on first name basis with a bucket- or not actually :(

Who else really wanted that to be true?

[20centuryfox100]

my god, david mitchell's a terrible liar. usually he's better than this, but this was rubbish!

[Sonicblade128]

Look, people. Yes, I gave away the ending, and somehow garnered 59 upvotes as of Xmas '11 Sorry.

But seriously. Who reads the comments before finishing the bloody video? I mean, I'd understand if you have a large monitor that requires a resolution higher than 800 pixels in height for it to function properly, meaning that you'd have no choice but to see what the top comment is if you browse the internet fullscreen, but that's a sheer minority! All you others would need to actively scroll down!

[Willish]

Stephen Tatlock sounds like bucket loads of fun to me. Get it? :P

[JTProud]

The woman looks exactly like Timmy from Whitest Kids U Know.

[fishiepie13]

when he said I called it Steven Tapnock I thought please be true!!!

[greetingszamora42]

I put some glasses on a plant and named it "Plantbob." I empathize with poor David.

[theEarlofChip]

somehow I knew the bucket would be named stephen

[pkrkid42]

I want to play David in Diplomacy.

[thebeardedjohn]

"Even then? I'm NOT a politician" hahaha

[kevslf1]

"BORIS DICKY!" LMAO

[bechaa01]

i wrote the comment in relation to the video, in the same vein as other people's comments. instead of spamming me with "oh no fair spoilers" and various expletives why don't you spam all the other people who wrote the same thing.

blame all the people who liked it, making it a top comment instead of being childish and emailing me.

or better yet go and watch the full episode instead of a clip, then you won't get me ruining your experience for you.

[PineappleTreeTrunk]

The collective sound of disappointment from the crowd at the end summed up my feelings when he revealed it wasn't true!

[872463051]

What's the name of the girl?

[KillaSINvincible]

holy FUCK im laughing so hard my heart hurts

[AnasTangi]

I would prefer to have a child with David's imagination, than a child with no imagination.

[IneffableLifestyle]

"i dont know of many with an imiginary friend with a surname". Jesus christ.

[gobebo123]

1:55 weirdest 'yes' ive ever heard!!

[kialn]

LOL i cant stop laughing ;]

[itislupus08]

BORIS DICKY!!!!

[polomonkey68]

I wish people would stop voting up comments which ruin the fucking clip.

[xnihpseht]

@polomonkey68 I wish people would stop bitching about the clip being ruined by someones comment after having read the comments during the clip instead of actually Watching the Fucking Clip!!

[polomonkey68]

@xnihpseht Shush

[BestGreenMall]

I am Steven Tatlock :)

[TheSkipjack95]

Strangely, David makes me think of a bunny...

[DannyJosephMagic]

I love the `awwwh` in the background as everyone is actually quite disappointed it's not true haha!

[IndigoRockGirl94]

'Even then? I'm not a politician' hahaha :D

[dunbar9finger]

The boardgame Diplomacy is a game that requires secretive deals and making alliances. To play it against an imaginary friend would be really psychotic. (and it requires more than 2 platers).

[DarknessLPs]

@dunbar9finger so is a bucket equivalent to 2 platers or just a bowl?

[MagicMidget777]

I wanted it to be true...

[Rohmanator]

I love david mitchell but lee mack is the MAN

[FoxesNat159]

Diplomacy is legend.

[Viljarism]

However, David's childhood friend was a Bucket.... Um! I mean a 'Bouquet'. 

[whitesox889]

@Sonicblade128 Thanks for ruining the surprise.

[KaMaCaRz]

@Sonicblade128 cheers for ruining it for me...

[mikeot85]

@Sonicblade128 thanks for ruining the ending!!!!

[Sage395]

@Sonicblade128 thanks for ruining it mate. people who voted you up are worse.

[birkinsmith88]

@Sonicblade128 dude, spoiler alert! XD

[nahyar123]

Steven tatlock is the only person who disliked this video. (the boy not the bucket) :P

[PrimalStones]

Steven Tatlock <3

[CGCupcakes66]

i so wanted this to be true!



[h34p]

@CGCupcakes66 spoiler ass.. i can see your comment while watching the video... die!

[CGCupcakes66]

@h34p lol XD

[xRainShadow]

This is the most hilarious thing ever. EVER.

"Stephen Tatlock wasn't always there."

[Topper4293]

Fuck top comments ruin the whole video..

[Irishandproudtobe]

@Topper4293 What's wrong with them?? At least they didn't mention the person that disliked this, ask for a thumbs up, or talk shit about some comedian being better or any of that shit... Anyway, the very top one got a thumbs up from me because he/she is right when they say you would believe that it could in fact be true..

[Konstiin]

@Irishandproudtobe what's wrong with them is them ruining the outcome of the video. they're legitimate top comments. they just ruin the outcome, is all.

[steve30toon]

Steven Tatlock was a cunt anyway apparently.

[bloodypedant]

Oh, Lee and David are the perfect counterparts to each other.

[purplexcelery]

Diplomacy!!!! Best. game. ever.

[KakashiRox900]

Steven! Steven! -gasp face- Steven, I can explain!

That is so awesome. And I can totally see David playing board games with a bucket.

[21whitworth12]

hahaa disliked, ruined perfect like score.

[DasNutellamaedchen]

@21whitworth12 Oh how wonderfully cynical of you.

[21whitworth12]

@DasNutellamaedchen had to be done, no matter how good or bad the video was.

[charley1093]

This is possibly the funniest Would I Lie To You? clip in history :P

[MintyInTheSky]

Lee Mack is hilarious in this! He knows it's most likely a lie but he's having fun with it anyway ^^

[GeneralGrey]

I think I'm going to go out and play Diplomacy with a bucket. I'll stick him with Italy, then maybe I'll actually win.

[flyphoenix12]

i had soft toy i talked to. one day my mom got worried and asked me if i knew show was just a toy. to that i replied ' i know shes only a toy but she doesnt'

[Clarestovold]

@flyphoenix12 Omg lol XD That sounds hilarious, how old were you? XD

[flyphoenix12]

@Clarestovold i was about 8

[naryanr]

@flyphoenix12 Did you realise at the time that thinking something, requires thought?

[cozecco]

Lee Mack cracks me up. His impression of the real Steven Tatlock walking in and finding him with the bucket imposter...hahaha.

[wescha]

Of course he didnt play against a bucket called Stephen Tatlock. He played against a broom called Agatha Mollingham.

[thegreatCOOPS]

@wescha best comment ever!

[iluvmuse]

Lee's impression of David playing with the bucket reminded me of Salad Fingers. (2:15)

[sloucho84]

I had an imaginary friend with a surname. Her and I dated. I was 4.

[viridismonasteriense]

an obvious lie. just so many things didn't gel. The real friend he didn't play with, the father who painted a face on it. The surname. The bucket.

[MrBuch169169]

There's a big sigh when David reveals the answer. We all so badly wanted that to be true!

[PiecesOfRainbow7]

I would LOVE to play board games with David Mitchell :)

[concretepoo]

borris dicky says no

[Roddyoneeye]

The bucket's name was "Cuthbert De La Poole"

[The343Player]

I love how Lee laughs after David reads out his card.

[Nexius8]

Diplomacy is a great game. Ill play David but unfortunatly its minimum of 3 players.

[fragrenade1]

@Nexius8 Maybe Stephen Tatlock could play with you?

[Aemasone]

@Nexius8 Get the bucket, then.

[TheDSil]

My imaginary friend as a child was a velociraptor who wore sunglasses.

[RustlessPotato]

Jesus, you guys. Spoilers ! :p 

[fragrenade1]

I so wish this was true :'(

[TVFILMBUFF]

Id love to know if David actually had a friend named Stephen Tatlock.

[Hanesu]

David Mitchell is the only person in the world who can make you believe something like this.

[boborappa]

The world would've been a better place if it was true.

[ViggiMassi]

Wow, Lee was on fire in this part hahaha :D

[barneynward]

I don't how this could've possibly been true. I thought this was a lie all the time.

[bechaa01]

i would have felt really sorry for him if this was true

[theredvsbluefan]

@bechaa01 SPOILERS DAMNIT.

[AMANDANeverLoved]

@bechaa01 same but i'm also kind of disappointed that it isn't :S

[Harrylechat01]

@bechaa01 Spoiler alert :-) I live abroad so I've never seen this series or QI - guess how I've been spending my afternoon . . . oh to have British comedy quiz shows over here

[bechaa01]

@Harrylechat01 so do i, i live in Australia. fell in love with david mitchell when they started showing QI on the ABC and went all over the internet searching for every possible thing he was in lol.

[CCNuck]

I do love how it can be something so, so bizzarre, and you DO believe it could be possible when it comes to David Mitchell.

(. . . I still have conversations with flowers. I would not judge a child for having a bucket named Steven Tatlock.)

[KittyKattyYukiLvr]

@CCNuck Yeah, I believed it until Dad was involved because I use to play alone or with an imaginary friend.

[Coolfundylan2]

@CCNuck Drink your water plants

[232bluewings]

@CCNuck Haha, brilliant! :D My bedroom bin is called Barry...and my bookshelf is called Steve! They're wonderful conversationalists! :P
