Would I Lie To You - David Mitchell is a genius.

[bumshka21]

Been watching stand up for the past hour but its the guy at the end that finally getsme laughing to Tears

[mxgirl918]

David Cameron should see this xD

[SchwarzundWeis]

which epsode is this?

[LizaLips1]

Look at everyone being smug because they have hindsight.

[MeBeMat]

2007: "How are they ever going to get back into office!?!?"

2012: Uhhhhh........

[jaw8271]

@MeBeMat

Says more about us than it does about David Mitchell.

[theomer1]

For those who are wondering how the complete clip would be, Lee Mack sees David Mitchel so upset and says, "I'm sorry, David, I made a mistake. It's false."

[JordanGordonNaish]

*This comment has been removed and the video has been cut short*

[domthe1]

are they trying to get back in office turns out they were yes

[eternalcrumpet]

who's the slut on david's left?

[oAzREZNoR]

@eternalcrumpet I'm compelled to inquire as to whether you honestly think she is one, or if you just refer to all women as sluts

[eternalcrumpet]

@oAzREZNoR haha, that comment made me laugh. i tend to refer to all women as sluts but i'm sure she is just as much as any other. who is she?

[supermacdaddyc]

@eternalcrumpet Myleene Klass

[996o0o966]

Dislike because you cut out the best bit.

[0TheGuru0]

@FyreTiger2K I know right? God forbid we elected a party with a track record for handling the economy well in a time of economic crisis. What were we thinking???

[littlemissruth15]

@0TheGuru0 I dunno mate, I just don't know :/

[Udany147]

@0TheGuru0 No, you've get it wrong - we elected the Conservatives, not a "party with a track record for handling the economy well in a time of economic crisis"

[tiswas666]

@Udany147 No, you've got it wrong. We didn't elect the conservatives.

[Udany147]

@tiswas666 Well, to be fair, the majority of the electorate did vote for them.

[FyreTiger2K]

they got in anyway. May God have mercy on our souls

[Garrotte123]

I think he needs a cuddle.

[bezerkoid]

Tragically, the Tories are now back in power. But David Mitchell is very funny

[YaN8XiaojiE]

aw you cut off one of my favorite lines from David Mitchell "...it's MIKE REED'S FAULT!"

[Horus175]

We need this show on BBC America.

[draculon5]

Is that Jason Manford!!!??? God I miss him!!!

[SuperDrobins]

and yet there back. people should listen to mr. mitchell more.

[EdNewey654]

R.I.P MIke

[Nameless164]

@EdNewey654 It's a different Mike Read...

[pib712thesecond]

this cuts out halfway through his rant...

[PianoWizzy]

To all WILTY and David Mitchell fans who will read this, please: does anyone know which episode of WILTY is the one where David's possession is what was claimed to be the only gift a fan has sent him?!

[hicaniplay]

@PianoWizzy Season 2 Episode 7. Towards the end. :)

[PianoWizzy]

@hicaniplay THANK YOU!! :D You're a wonderful person. XD

[sonnyreddevil69]

he got it wrong,so he aint no genius

[micglou]

David is always freakin funny in these kind of shows... but I'm irritated whenever I see him on some sitcom or other comedy-serie. He's best when he's just being himself, he def isn't a character actor.

[MsOneiroi77]

Thatcher the only woman in Britain where most of the people hate her.

[simplelife88393]

@MsOneiroi77

anne widdecombe

[DarkCloudX9]

whos the girl on davids team? My screens a lil dark :/

[Artie0293e09]

@DarkCloudX9 myleen class

[PwningNoobs12]

Since he got cut off short and the screen went blank

I think we can all agree, there were no survivors.

[mxgirl918]

@PwningNoobs12 I doubt anyone can survive a Mitchell rant lol

[fourminuteswiser]

I love that Jason Manford says "out of sync" just as the sound starts going slightly off the visuals lol

[skatekris]

Do you not ever think Lee Mack has strange similarities to Jeff from Peep Show, and that there's an unseen bitter hatred between the two on set?

[cristicbz]

@skatekris No to both.

[WalterLiddy]

@skatekris Never.  They strike me as very friendly.

[matthewomalley3]

who's the host

[EamonnMurphy00]

@matthewomalley3 Angus Deayton.

[Magerage20]

jason manford with the obvious joke, David Mitchell with the genius rant.

[XhoowieX]

You missed out the best bit by cutting him short but w/e

[Nerdyliion]

Shut the hell up about politics and laugh at David.

[BloodFromTheThorn]

'What the f**k is that?!' I love him!

[coolboialex]

margret thatcher might not of been the most popular, but i admire her for doing what she thought was right, without takin shit from no-one. thats what we need in a government, people who make the country a better place, without listening to shit like, 'human rights' and, softer punishments or 'racism'.

[pennywiserule5]

@coolboialex Obvious troll is obvious.

[zantesh]

@coolboialex how would the country be better place without human rights, or anti racism

[coolboialex]

@zantesh im not preaching anti racism, im just saying people are accused of being racist all the time, like the police if they hurt a black man etc.

and human rights protect even those that murder and rape, and nothing can be done cos of there human rights. for example, an illegal immigrant, (forget his name), murdered a girl and is an extremist, but he cannot get deported because of his 'human rights' its a total joke -_-

[ikt123]

@coolboialex Wouldn't it be better to have him locked up, than sent to another country where he could potentially murder and rape more people?

[coolboialex]

@ikt123 dont see why we should look after him being he is an illegal immigrant.

tbh, i think we should of given him the death penalty.

[ikt123]

@coolboialex Being an illegal immigrant doesn't mean he's suddenly not human, I can see how you could confuse the two since your country is happily being an illegal immigrant in many middle eastern countries at the moment.

[coolboialex]

@ikt123 being an illegal immigrant who murderd, yea, he should definately be protected by his 'human rights'

just like all the pedophiles, rapists and vandals, dont want to give them a harsh punishment cos it might hurt their poor feelings and go against their rights...the law should come down on those cunts like a ton of bricks.

[ikt123]

@coolboialex As far as I'm aware the law has come down on them like a ton of bricks, you are now disputing the law and want to replace it with some sort of tribal bronze age 'eye for an eye' style system. Have fun and keep up the outrage, it's cute.

[zantesh]

@coolboialex as for the example, they couldn't send you to your death if they knew by sending you back it would occur. they have to abide by the laws of the land on which the crime was commited, unless his country wants him extradited, how can all british citizens that murder get 25 years, and this man be sent to his death.

[coolboialex]

@zantesh whats your view on someone who tortures and murders people? what punishment do you think they should get? do you agree with harsher punishments, or do you think if they have good behaviour they should be let out early cos they have been 'rehibilitated'?

[zantesh]

@coolboialex i think the whole point over being released early for good behavior, is the only way of maintaining an ''ok'' level of behavior in the prisons, they need some sort of incentive, if not that, then the murder inmates tbh would just be running amock, saying whats the worst you can do, thats brings to light the need for harder punishment, id say, kill his first born son, for such heinous crimes, make him live with the guilt.

[coolboialex]

@zantesh whats your view on someone who tortures and murders people? what punishment do you think they should get? do you agree with harsher punishments, or do you think if they have good behaviour they should be let out early cos they have been 'rehibilitated'?

[loreweaver33]

This clip needs more clip.

[bladerunner12]

"Shadow Chancellor" sounds like a member of a council of evildoers. Emperor Palpatine, Voldemort, the Shadow Chancellor.

[saveusmilkboy]

@Ihatemyusernamemore margaret thatcher's? you're not the first one to think about maggie that way man.

[MsOneiroi77]

Margaret Thatcher fucking bitch

[crazyguitarist57]

...but the end bit is the best part

[xxMeGaRateDxx]

MIKE REID...10 MINUTES...RAPPIN...WHAT THE F*** IS THAT!! xD

[EmmyNeander]

I love David Mitchell! And also Angus Deayton, always very happy to see him on shows.

[xyz49271]

@EmmyNeander Good to see Angus back after what that Hamilton cow did for him on HIGNFW

[EmmyNeander]

@xyz49271 Very true. Shocking what happened back then.

[Mayna00]

@xyz49271 What did Hamilton do to Deayton?

Back in the HIGNFY days?

[MrGrantNewlands]

@Mayna00 Christine Hamilton was on Hislop's team and Deayton always referred to her as "Wife of disgraced former Conservative MP Neil Hamilton......." every single time. So she snapped at him "If my husbands disgraced what does that make you?". This was about two or three weeks after his scandal broke. Merton later said in an interview it undermined the show that Deayton was meant to satirically rip holes in certain guests but he didn't have the moral high ground so his position became untenable

[Mayna00]

@MrGrantNewlands Oh okay, I remember that! I just didn't know it was Hamilton who said it.

Paul had a point .. Deayton's 'actions' rendered the entire format of the show pretty useless.

But I still liked him. I wish he was still hosting this show. Rob gets quite annoying sometimes.

[Chrisfs59]

Sadly, Conservatives are back in power now. Though hopefully for not too long.

[pec104]

@Chrisfs59 Oh us wicked tories standing on our own two feet and paying all the taxes for you to ponce off. Get a wash.

[Chrisfs59]

@pec104 I work, I assure you. I'm lucky to work, seeing as waves of people have lost their jobs due to the incompetence of big banks (run by I suspect mostly Tories), while others have to pay in the form of austerity cuts. Banks make stupid bets, so now students need to pay more in fees, and everyone pays more in VAT Pay all the taxes?? That's a joke.

[haz464]

love david mitchell rants

[CaptainChaos]

While this is very funny, I downvoted it because you cut it off halfway through for some strange reason (and there are plenty of complete copies on YouTube).

[Diazreta]

''MIKE READ...TEN MINUTES...RAPPING....WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!'' hahahaah

[JoseTwitterFan]

Oh Mike, the 80s are over, stop trying to act hip and get some help!!!

[IdiotsForSale]

It was a lie, but for some reason who uploaded the video decided to cut it out.

[pamew]

Anybody else feel extremely uncomfortable about this clip in retrospect, the results of the last election taken into account? o_0

[leeultimatemug]

@HarryJones95 comedy genius

[TheSitcomGuy]

@HarryJones95 well we all know he's intelligent, and he makes his intelligence known quite well in what he says. As his audience by now know of his intelligence, by reaching what an intelligent person could call an extremity of possiblity about the given situation, and the reality of the situation being further to the extreme (the situation, of course, being the tory-party's complete idiocy), he might just be identifying a ridiculous flaw about the tories as well as possible.

[IdiotsForSale]

@TheSitcomGuy that was a lie. Lee Mack was kidding, I suggest you to watch the entire episode. The tories never did that. Hope you feel a bit stupid now

[TheSeventiethSeven]

@HarryJones95 Oh god you're an idiot.

[HarryJones95]

@TheSeventiethSeven Stick to your world of warcraft virtual life crap mate you loser

[TheSeventiethSeven]

@HarryJones95 Funny, I don't play WoW.

Funny, you're an utter moron who is embarrassed by the idiotic comment you left a month ago.

[HarryJones95]

@TheSeventiethSeven um i think your the one embarrassed, you have uploaded like 30 wow videos... COOL KID, anyway, i didnt say a bad word about his intelligence, although i should mention i think he is a stuck up, posh, up his own arse, tries to sound intelligent little man

[TheSeventiethSeven]

@HarryJones95 You obviously can't count.

I don't play WoW, what the fuck are you on about.

You are embarrassed, it's so obvious.

Your Comment was Flagged for Spam it's so fucking retarded.

NICE ONE, MATE.

[HarryJones95]

@TheSeventiethSeven oh i love that denying it when its clearly all over your channel, wow you seriously are ashamed of your love for that game, oh well if it makes you feel a sense of achievement in your life. you replied at 12 oclock at night, wow why was you on youtube at 12 at night, oh was it in your little break of a hardcore sesh of world of warcraft, i feel quite bad now, having a go at someone who clearly needs help :(

[TheSeventiethSeven]

@HarryJones95 Yes, World of Warcraft is all over my Channel...

Are you seriously running that empty that you're going to make up a lie and roll with it?

Tell you what, give me a link to my WoW video and I'll believe you.

Of course, you can't, because I don't play WoW.

You are embarrassed at your original Comment, it made you look retarded, and you are retarded, you're also pathetic.

Why was I on at 12PM?

ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED?

OBVIOUS TROLL IS OBVIOUS.

[Shiantor]

@HarryJones95 ...seriously? You're shocked that someone was online past midnight? What, is that past your bedtime?

[comanchio1976]

@HarryJones95 He didnt get it right, because the very notion of Mike Reed rapping at a tory conference, is so ridiculously implausible.

Unless you expect a 'genius' to have an encyclopedic knowledge of everything that's ever happens, your criticism holds no water.

Like what's already been said, his 'genius' is his comedic creativity, and his fantastic split-second delivery.

[HarryJones95]

@comanchio1976 'your criticism holds no water', you sound like such a goon.

[comanchio1976]

@HarryJones95 I'm really fucking interested in your opinion of me though, so thanks random internet dickhead!

[nathy8979]

Remember Jason Manford?

[onehairybuddha]

Where's the rest of it?

[jebrila2]

wow hes lost alot of weight since

[userstupidname]

I said this on another video but I just can't resist, Its PVT JAMMING ALIIVE!

[nikanj]

This game reminds me of balderdash.

[Edae001]

david's rants make this show for me

[JoshFOB]

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!"

David's so awesome.

[SymonDillDave]

keep pressing 4, it will tell you what this video is.

[TrollReborn]

what a great place to end the video you fucking worthless piece of shit.

[rompige]

9 people are out of sync.

You cut off the best bit!

how is he a genius? all he says is 'what the fuck is that'

[davidmichael07]

of all of the cycotic and dilusional rants david has come up with, this has got to be the funniest

[Gorgothnia]

All the more funny - if funny is the right word - with the conservatives now in power :p

[1gadena]

Hahahahahahahahahaha! my sides are actually hurting so bad!

[Thevickystv1]

Mike green ten minutes rapping WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT! love it :L

[tenseman08]

i wanna see mike's rap..10 minutes as well..he must have written quite a lot

[comanchio1976]

NEEVER cut David Mitchell off mid-rant!!

[krizan1]

@comanchio1976 would be very silly to do that, his rants are legnedary ! ! LOL

[marthafarquar]

Jesus god, just found this from 2006:

'* Could the 1980s pop-picker Mike Read turn around the Conservatives' fortunes in their so far laughable search for a familiar candidate to challenge Ken Livingstone as Mayor of London?

Read was a surprise guest at the Tories' conference dinner on Monday evening, where he entertained guests with a 10-minute political rap.

Afterwards, he was approached by several MPs eager for him to submit his name for the vacant candidacy.'

[Bogman247]

@marthafarquar That is, however, the only reference anywhere on the internet to it. The sources are also not listed.

[tidball1]

Mitchell = Virgin

[comanchio1976]

@tidball1 You=Tool

[FreethinkingFun]

@tidball1

tidball 1 = Virgin

[saintofbladez]

Made me laugh when he spoke about not being sync.....like other things ;)

[iluvjessie999]

Omg davids lost weight! :)

[marthafarquar]

does anyone have a link to Mike Read rapping? must must must see

[everest001]

Why is Myleene Klass (whom I actually love incidentally) displaying such defensive/averse body-language towards Mr. Mitchell? Just wondering.

[DestAeval]

/watch?v=TR7wUUUNyD0&feature=r­elated

A bit more to the clip.

[bobolishas]

looks fat in this

[Ugrimugri]

@bobolishas Fat or thin, he's always adorable.

[xkurodax]

Where can I find this rap!

[th3d3wd3r]

@xkurodax There was no rap, when he said it was true, it was a lie just to wind david mitchell up lol

[paolodicanio9876]

@th3d3wd3r then why did the graphics behind them say it was true

[th3d3wd3r]

@paolodicanio9876 because everyone was in on it except for david mitchell. It's exactly the kind of thing that would make him flip. Tell you what, why don't you watch the episode and see what happens rather than asking stupid fucking questions :)

[paolodicanio9876]

@th3d3wd3r. the graphics said it was true because the story is a real one. mike reid did do a rap at the conservative party conference. it wasn't a joke on david mitchell. why don't you watch the episode yourself instead and take what you see as face value.

[paolodicanio9876]

@th3d3wd3r look on mike reid's wiki page and look under politics, point 4.2. this is true

[livstar93]

David Mitchell, if you are reading this, i want to marry you.

[StopStealingEggs]

@livstar93

join the queue

[livstar93]

@StopStealingEggs lmao. hes gonna have to be a serious bigamist or serial divorcer if he wants to get thriught this long line. lol

[highonrebellion1]

shame they did get in isn't it?

[mrmebs]

lol they should play this just before david cameron comes out to make a speech

[Jaybizzz]

FAT MITCHELL !!

He's always been hillarious though, he has perfect delivery and his rants are the thing of legend :D

Good guy!!

[WoNdeReeR]

@madcapoperator OI! what is your problem with Tories....you may not agree with the policies or whatever but that's just rude...and I'm a conservative but I found this funny because I can take a joke!!

[r1ch1etheman]

4 conservatives watched this

[EdNewey654]

christ, how old is this, and who the f*ck is the presenter? :S

[Jravening]

@EdNewey654 The presenter is Angus Deayton, and this particular episode was aired in July 2007.

[ArcaneFaith]

Damn he fat

[tomsega]

This moment sort of implied that Mitchell is a Tory supporter, but he's described himself as centre-left (and writes for the Guardian...)

[MrBuch169169]

@tomsega I really don't think this clip implies any love of the Tories; quite the opposite. Notice how he describes Thatcher. He's angry about Labour's lack of credible opposition (at the time).

[madcapoperator]

3 people who voted this video down are tory fuckbags who should be torn limb from limb by transvestities!

[mopedman1]

@madcapoperator ummm o.o

[RantCasey01]

I didn't realize how much weight he actually lost until I see these videos back to back.

[mrfrostynova]

nice clip but the edited out the best stuff

[geekfest2000]

Yeah, he is a genius.

[depl0rable]

look at cammeron now, doesn't know past history as America seems to have entered the war in 1940, and doesn't know present history when he said that iran DOES have a nuclear bomb. Still To England, From Scotland. We told you so. We told you so. Stupid fucks. Next time pay attention to the fact we only have one tory MP, up here, and that's just for comedy effect. England has fucked us all. it's why scotland WANTS independance, and a large bill of repariation of all the oil you've nicked.

[111q222p333m444z]

@depl0rable Not all of us in England are stupid. I hate the tories and can't believe that idiot Cameron is running the country now. I don't see why you care though, thanks to labour and devolution Scotland has it's own parliament so you're pretty safe from the chaos that will come from this coalition of idiots. Don't get started on "stolen oil", we are one country and one people, we share what we have. Besides that'll run out soon, you'll get plenty of cash from the oil in the Falklands.

[GothicPredalienWolf]

@111q222p333m444z f**k yeah dude. AMEN!

[GothicPredalienWolf]

@depl0rable no i believe you are the f**k who is stupid. and like 111q222p333m444z said, you have your own parliament so why should you give a s**t?
