Would I Lie to You? is the hit BBC panel show where two teams of celebrity guests try to figure out whether their opponent's ridiculously far-fetched statements about themselves are true or, in fact, a lie.

I've always been impressed with the many impressions Rob Brydon can do. But that voice he does for "Small man in a box" is insane. That's so impressive to even get that distant sound in his voice.

I agree, his vocal talents always surprise me to no end. Definite skill.

Weird thing is, after watching some Lee Evans, he also does it and was doing it in stand up in 1993 Now, I'm trying to work out who did it first because Rob and Lee Evans are about the same age.

The second I heard him do the scream "I CAN'T GET OUT!" I knew it was true. You can't just try that on the spot and know you can do it, you have to have done it before. It's actually really difficult to do! It also makes sense that when he heard Rob's 'Man in a box' he realised his wasn't as good.

@DavidOfWhitehills Жыл бұрын

Nasality. Not much used this side of the pond. But consider the unusual way Kenneth Williams projects his voice: "nasality, Matron". He colours it with his West Country burr, but it's the same technique every American speaker uses all day, every day. If the Small Man In A Box wasn't nasal he'd be.... silent.

Because there used to be an American Ventriloquist who used to do the same thing back in the 70s and early 80s

Rob misused 'prevaricating'. He meant procrastinating.

@syd7801 Жыл бұрын

David Mitchell is that you?

@DrZaius3141 Жыл бұрын

Why would you even think that? He is prevaricating, i.e. being evasive and trying to distract or play for time. Procrastinating, apart from "cras" meaning "tomorrow" in Latin, is about delaying work one should be doing in favour of something else. He isn't delaying because of what might be perceived as lazyness, as would be the case with procrastination - he is instead delaying to wiggle out of it or give him self more time, which is virtually a textbook definition of prevarication.

@qwe1231 Жыл бұрын

@@DrZaius3141 Context. Makes no sense for Rob to call someone a liar WHILE THEY'RE TELLING THEIR STORY. It's inappropriate... and he's never done it before or since.

@DrZaius3141 Жыл бұрын

@@qwe1231 Prevaricating does not imply lying, it only implies that someone is avoiding to answer a question. Curbing that and moving the show along is exactly the job of the host. Context does indeed matter and those two words both refer to delaying something but their difference lies within the reason for said delay. The reason is very obvious here and leads to 'prevaricating' being the correct word.

@eddyrichards8474 Жыл бұрын

I hope Ron meant "procrastinating". not "prevaricating" as the whole point of the show is to tell whether the contestants are doing the latter or not.

It is a stupid one because he literally did it right there. It has to be true, unless he just did it out of nowhere and a few hours of trying has led me to believe it is actually quite hard to do.
