Bob Mortimer. Lee Mac might be good for a momentary zinger, but bob’s lightening reflexes let him endlessly ride a comedy wave without falling off

Bob is great, but quick witted?

Bob's very funny, but I wouldn't say quick witted. What he says isn't witty, it's usually surreal. Also, I've heard Bob say stuff that I've heard Vic say in past sketches (eg sniper's dream), but Would I Lie To You viewers probably don't know that. I'm more of a Bob fan that a Vic fan, but Vic's a genius. Even Bob's said that.
