History YMMV / WouldILieToYou

* TheyJustDidntCare: The series 6 promotional material reused all the promotional images from series 5, and used clips from previous series in the trailer. This lack of effort was made obvious because David Mitchell had grown a beard between series.

--> '''Frankie Boyle''': I'd love to see you in like a ''MadMax'' type of society, as everyone's holding off a biker gang, and you're going "I can think of an amusing reason why one of these four might be the odd one out".

* DudeNotFunny: The host's autocue jokes are expected to push the bounds a bit, but sometimes they fall flat. The succession of Creator/JimmySavile jokes Angus Deayton read out following Claudia's story about ''Jim'll Fix It'' drew disgust from both the panel and audience and have been banned from being re-aired by the BBC.
** However, as of the 2012 sex abuse scandal surrounding Savile, these jokes suddenly became far more warranted... even if the context became a FunnyAneurysmMoment.

* HilariousInHindsight: In one episode of Series 1, Angus Deayton read out a joke referring to Carol Vorderman as "mutton dressed as lamb". When the panel and audience [[DudeNotFunny reacted]], he said "She's not here, she'll never be invited on, so it doesn't matter". She ''did'' eventually appear as a guest...in the first episode shown after Deayton had left.

** The show was censured for making a joke that they felt was DudeNotFunny about Creator/JimmySavile who, at the time, was a national treasure. With the Savile paedophilia sex scandal of Sept 2012, it appears that making rude jokes about him is completely fair game.

** In Rob Brydon's season two guest appearance, at one point he did an impression of David Mitchell. Mitchell's response was "I know it's hard to get impressions on the telly these days, but this isn't the place." Next season, Rob Brydon became the host of the show. He quickly made it the place to get impressions on the telly.

* WTHCostumingDepartment: Lee is generally dressed more casually than David or Rob (who are invariably wearing suits), which occasionally leads to some bizarre clothing (in series 5 he appears to be wearing pyjamas and a biker jacket in different episodes).

* AcceptableTargets: Including...
** AcceptableEthnicTargets: When Ronnie Corbett appeared on the show, there were plenty of cracks about his short stature. [[SelfDeprecatingHumor Several of them made by Corbett himself]].
** CulturalStereotypes: High- and low-class jokes directed at David Mitchell and Lee Mack, respectively.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: During Dara O'Briain's story about needing to wear a cycle helmet in bed because of the violent nature of his dreams, Rob interrupts with a story about how he once dreamt he was spooning a lion. It has no relevance to anything being said beyond the fact that it is a dream, which David promptly points out before Lee drags the story back on-topic.

* DudeNotFunny: The host's autocue jokes are expected to push the bounds a bit, but sometimes they fall flat. The succession of Jimmy Savile jokes Angus Deayton read out following Claudia's story about ''Jim'll Fix It'' drew disgust from both the panel and audience and have been banned from being re-aired by the BBC.

** After this, the third series of ''ThatMitchellAndWebbLook'' had "The Quiz Broadcast", a series of sketches in which David's character hosted a [[AfterTheEnd post-apocalyptic]] GameShow in a world that had been destroyed by [[NoodleIncident the Event]].

** The show was censured for making a joke that they felt was DudeNotFunny about Jimmy Savile who, at the time, was a national treasure. With the Savile paedophilia sex scandal of Sept 2012, it appears that making rude jokes about him is completely fair game.

** Upon being confronted with a story about ''BluePeter'' presenters Simon Groom and Peter Duncan having a fight in the ''Blue Peter'' garden over a parking space because they "didn't get on", David Mitchell suggests that perhaps there was [[UnresolvedSexualTension another force]] at work:

** Similarly, Rob Brydon imagining David and KeeleyHawes going on a date after series 4 episode 1 of ''ThatMitchellAndWebbLook''.

** Rob Brydon introduced Rhod Gilbert as the man who provided voiceovers for Wales tourism adverts, then suggested that they should have got someone "a little more famous, perhaps with his own hit panel show" to do it instead. A few weeks after the episode went out, the BBC announced they'd commissioned a BBC1 panel show with Gilbert as host.

* TheScrappy: Janet Street-Porter was not the most liked guest, especially after she argued and ranted with David Mitchell (an extremely liked man).

** The episode featuring JohnBarrowman naturally had its fair share of this.

** Upon being confronted with a story about ''BluePeter'' presenters Simon Groom and Peter Duncan having a fight in the ''Blue Peter'' garden over a parking space because they "didn't get on", David Mitchell suggests that perhaps there was [[{{UST}} another force]] at work:

** However, As of the Sept/Oct 2012 Sex abuse scandal surrounding Savile, these jokes suddenly became far more warrented... even if the context became a FunnyAneurysmMoment

* SpotlightStealingSquad: Rob Brydon as host is far more involved in the action than Angus Deayton was and there have been moments where the focus has gone entirely off either team (and the ostensible fact they are discussing) and landed squarely on him; one of the worst cases was the first episode in series 4, where Martin Clunes' turn was more or less abandoned for the sake of Brydon's impressions.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkXxmMUIx8k Kevin Bridges]] span one of the most masterful deceptions on the show.

** Angus Deayton got sacked for making a joke that they felt was DudeNotFunny about Jimmy Savile who, at the time, was a national treasure. With the Savile paedophilia sex scandal of Sept 2012, it appears that making rude jokes about him is completely fair game.

** Angus Deayton got sacked for making a joke that they felt was DudeNotFunny about Jimmy Saville who, at the time, was a national treasure. With the Saville pedophilia sex scandal of Sept 2012, it appears that making rude jokes about him is fair game.

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: Following the disappointing bookings for series 3 (see WTH Booking Agency below), the much improved guest roster for series 4 was much welcomed.
