Trigger Happy TV

This show is just too funny for words! If you ever see it advertised where you live, watch it! The only people who won't appreciate the humour in this show are, people with no sense of humour or, dead. This takes Candid Camera and actually makes the idea funny. The reactions to the gags aren't the funny part, the actual gags are the funniest. It centres around one man making a fool of himself and making the audience laugh. That's it! The ideas involved in the gags are just amazing! Considering that practically only one man makes the whole show it's a tribute to skill and entertainment. Watch this show, now!

This is probably one of the funniest TV shows ever made. Trigger Happy TV, fronted by the irrepressible Dom Joly, is a programme based loosely on Candid Camera. The show is a series of sketches that focus on those little irritating things in life (mobile phones, fishermen, traffic wardens) by blowing them out of all proportion. Trigger Happy is so irreverent, so insanely unique, that you're absolutely guaranteed to laugh. What's more, the whole thing is wrapped up by a delightful "sad-rock" soundtrack which, unlike canned laughter, makes you just laugh even harder. Look out for the park-bench secret agent, the educated punk, and the door-to-door Grim Reaper in particular! Fantastic.

What can you say about this TV program. It's a guy walking around the streets playing the fool, and the funniest thing is watching the people's reactions. One such example is when he is wearing a fully striped burglar costume with a swag bag and be climbing over a garden wall and people will ask what he is doing and he would say "testing the wall" and they would walk away.

Dom Jolly is a genius, although I have to say I sometimes felt embarrassed watching his antics. If you get a chance to watch this jump at it. It is the funniest thing around.

One night while I was watching Comedy Central this came on. I watched it,and I laughed my ass off. Probably the most I laughed while watching a television show ever. The British are really great when they do comedy. And Dom Jolly is one of the best British comedians since John Cleese. He tricks people,and put's them in rather stupid,and impossible situations. My favorite would have to be the 1,000,000 sex shop customer. Very funny! I recently found out Dom isn't going to be in Comedy Central's second season. I was kind of sad,no new comedian could reach up to his genius.

5/5

HELLO?!!! NO, I'M COMMENTING ON TRIGGER HAPPY TV!! YES...NO!...YOU'RE BREAKING UP, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!!! If you don't have a clue what I just did, watch an episode of Trigger Happy TV and it'll all make sense. When I first saw it, I was quick to jump to conclusions that it was just some British take on Jackass or some trash like that and quickly dismissed it. Until I really began watching it(I don't remember what originally inspired me to, I think I saw a few more previews)and found comic gold. I understand there aren't any more episodes being made, which is a real shame, but I think I smell a DVD collection certainly worth buying. His gags are smart(but not like a Frasier episode) and yet some of them are rather crude, though he almost never resorts to making jokes about farts and crap. He also never inflicts bodily harm on himself or any other, he simply messes with people's minds and that is something that is very funny to watch. I'm very glad that the episodes that made it here did, but I don't think all of them have. I think we should get at least that. Dom Joly is not a genius, he's just someone who has some hilarious ideas and a craving to mess about with the general public. His jokes mostly work with a great set up and a powerful punchline. If you haven't given it a chance, you definitely should.
