{{quote|''A recent survey revealed that one of the most common lies is "How nice to see you", as in the sentence "How nice to see you, [[Butt Monkey|Lee]]." Another really common lie is "Sorry to bother you", as in "Sorry to bother you, Rob." "No, come in Lee, how nice to see you."''|'''Rob Brydon'''}}

 

 

The host for the first two series was Angus Deayton, in perhaps his biggest hosting job since being sacked from ''[[Have I Got News for You]]''; from Series 3 he was replaced by Rob Brydon of ''[[Gavin and Stacey]]'' fame. The team captains, [[Lee Mack]] (from ''[[Not Going Out]]'') and [[David Mitchell]] ([[That Mitchell and Webb Look|from]] [[Peep Show|everything]] [[QI|else]]) have remained consistent through all the run. The guests will typically be one comedian and one guest from another field per team, with actors and television presenters being the most common for the latter -- although singers, sportspeople, and even politicians have appeared.

'''Rhys:''' I think this one dated from about 1987, when Bergerac was in Germany...

'''David Mitchell:''' So this was a prop bed? It wasn't John Nettles' bed, it's Bergerac's bed? There is a distinction... }}

* [[Couch Gag]]: When Angus Deayton was host, he would emerge from behind a screen where he was visible in silhouette engaging in some ridiculous activity, which changed with each episode.

* [[Creator Cameo]]: Of a type; both [[Charlie Brooker]] and [[Pointless|Richard Osman]], both of whom are directors for the show's production company Endemol, have appeared as guest panellists.

{{quote|'''David''': [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|Don't call him Gordon - It's his name.]] He's decided names aren't good enough for the likes of him. He's gonna take a verb! That means everyone thinks he's good, and no one thinks he's a twat.}}

* [[Tears of Fear]]: Lee claimed to have provoked these in a hitchhiker he once picked up, as he had to stop the car and [[The All-Solving Hammer|hit the engine with a hammer to get it going again]] and told the hitchhiker "Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you" as he got the hammer. David Mitchell found the whole idea ridiculous.

** Once he calmed down, he actually considered it might be true, though. {{spoiler|It was.}}

* [[That Came Out Wrong]]: Martin Clunes describing how he was fired from a catering job by Alan Sugar after spilling the contents of his tray on a guest: He claimed that Alan was angry, but "she was just wet and dirty as I remember"...
