Crying with laughter thanks to Lou Sanders and David Mitchell | Would I Lie To You? | ABC iview

David Mitchell wants to know about Lou Sanders' socks for high-heeled booties. Sanders has a different conversational destination in mind: "I'm your little baby." The groans and laughter around the panel suggest his investigation has gone somewhat off course.

That exchange anchors ABC Entertainment's short compilation from Would I Lie To You?, which drew roughly 58,000 views in its first day, more than twenty times the channel's usual start for Shorts. This is a clip from the British panel show, posted by Australia's public broadcaster, rather than a new sketch made for the channel.

The show's premise asks celebrity guests to separate extraordinary personal truths from inventions. Here, the detours become the attraction. Brian Cox uses "sheeps," Lee Mack objects, and Mitchell steps in to defend it as an alternative plural. Elsewhere, Nella Rose's animated account of a giant rat leaves Mack worrying that her gesturing fingernails might catch his eye.

Sanders keeps returning to her unlikely pairing with Mitchell. When host Rob Brydon suggests Rose and Babatunde Aléshé get a room after they discover a shared school connection, Sanders immediately proposes one next door for herself and David. Viewers' comments pick up on that pattern: her silliness keeps knocking the rest of the panel off its conversational footing.
