* The fact that Ronnie Corbett was on the show.

* Lee Mack winning the 2019 BAFTA for Best Entertainment Performance for his performance on the show, after his first nomination in the category, was absolutely made of win and awesome. His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lNqQbdVCBI hilarious acceptance speech]] was just the icing on the cake.

* Series 12's opening episode ends with another Bob Mortimer tale: that he apparently cracks an egg in his bath. David, [[GenreSavvy having wised up]] to Bob's increasingly bizarre stories, takes it this time as [[PoesLaw something so unlikely it might as well be true]]. Bob, [[BatmanGambit in a clear triumphant tone]], [[DoubleSubversion reveals it's a lie]]. [[https://youtu.be/Yfawvs5PouA?t=332 The discovery clearly]] [[HeroicBSOD broke David]].

'''Moments pages are Administrivia/SpoilersOff. YouHaveBeenWarned.'''

* Kevin Bridges' story about accidentally buying a horse that thought he was renting, masterfully convincing the entire room that it was a badly improvised lie. [[spoiler:It wasn't.]]

* Craig Parkinson successfully managing to convince Lee's team that he was a huge Steve Davis fan ''when Davis was one of Lee's teammates''.

* Claudia Winkleman has often shown herself to be one of the greatest deceivers of anyone in the show, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIasNXy9Lwk consistently tripping up opposing teams]] and getting them to incorrectly guess whether she's telling the truth or lying. She often manages this by playing up ObfuscatingStupidity for claims that are actually true so that her interrogators believe they've caught her revealing inconsistencies (such as appearing unsure of herself while retelling the story of a builder who helped fix her TV) while displaying fierce improvisation and commitment toward statements that are actually false (coming up with animals to associate with everyone on the show and justifying the rationale for each by saying that it's something that just comes to her instantly).

* Alex Jones persuading David's team that she can tell if people are good dancers ''based on their smiles'' by baldly going round almost every panelist and coming up with a complicated explanation about the length of their teeth being the telling sign.

* Bob Mortimer demonstrating breaking an apple in two with his bare hands. Viewers who have seen ''ShootingStars'' will have known his story was true from the start, because he once did the same thing on that show, but with ''a coconut!''

'''Henning''': ...what's the worst that could happen?

-->'''David''': How are [the Tories] ever going to get back into office? Are they trying? It it match-fixing? Is someone bribing them to be terrible at politics? Mike Read! Ten minutes! ''Rapping''?! What the [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] is that?! [''[[{{Angrish}} goes briefly incoherent]]''] The reason Tony Blair can start wars for no- you know, without asking people - is that there's no opposition! It's ''their fault''! It's ''Mike Read's fault''! '''''The deaths of our servicemen are on his conscience'''''!\\

* Terry "The Mean Machine" Frazier scaring the entire panel with one very loud wrestling demonstration.

-->'''Angus Deayton''': I do hope Mike Read is watching this.

-->'''Trisha Goddard''': I'm suspicious because you're not allowed to bring any fruits or vegetables from foreign countries in--
-->'''Lee''': Well, you've made the classic mistake there, Trisha, because a coconut isn't a fruit or a vegetable. It is in fact a seed.

-->'''Greg''' [''turning to his captain'']: Do you feel, David, any genuine sense of competition in this game?
-->'''David''': Yes, I do, yeah.
-->'''Greg''': Then I think you're going to like me very much. It was a lie.

-->'''David''': No, no, peacocks are in very posh places and very formal places.
-->'''Lee''': In very ''rural'' places, generally.
-->'''David''': No, no, it's not like, you don't ''farm'' peacocks!
-->'''Lee''': Yes they do. People ''do'' farm peacocks.
-->'''David''': No but no wha... *beat* *raises arms* Okay!

-->'''David''': No but no wha... *beat* *raises arms* Okay!

* It's something very minor, but when David says that peacocks are very posh animals Lee corrects him saying people do farm peacocks and that these are found in very rural places (which is, by the way, true): for a moment it seems that David is going to explode, but then he stops and realises that ''he doesn't actually know''. He then goes off with a rant anyway, but...

-->'''Greg''': Then I think you're going to like me very much. It was a lie.

* Jimmy Carr straight-up admitting he'd lost his virginity at 26.
