Trigger Happy TV

Okay, I don't know what to say other than if you don't find yourself

laughing at this you either: 1. aren't intelligent enough to understand

it - or - 2. are WAY too uptight (like many of the people shown)! Dom

Jolly's Trigger Happy TV is nothing short of comic genius. I'd like to

meet the man personally just to shake his hand! Yes, there are recurring

characters, but none of the jokes are exactly the same (which some

people don't seem to catch on to - they see the same character and

instantly think "he's doing the same thing, this is repatative, and

since I have the attention spam of a 2-year-old, I'm going to write him

off and say this isn't funny because I'm not intelligent enough to pay

attention and see what actually happens!").

Trigger Happy TV is NOTHING LIKE Jackass. Jackass is idiots hurting

themselves and others or just generally disturbing the peace and risking

getting their asses kicked if they haven't already kicked each others'.

Trigger Happy TV is cleverly planned out sketches that rely entirely on

public interaction to make them work. Some of it is juvenile, yes, but

you'll never see Dom Jolly or his cohorts destorying property (others or

their own) or deliberately hurting each other (or others) just for

kicks. When they dress up in animal costumes and get in play fights,

it's just for shock value/hilarity. No one is actually hurt. That is

where the difference lies.

Now, when are we going to get the original UK episodes unedited on US

region 1 DVD Mr. Jolly? I'll be first in line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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

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!

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.
