Simply A Masterpiece

Good concept, poorly executed.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

I always forget to catch the show, but when I do see Trigger Happy TV, I hope I'm not in the middle of doing something else, because I will fall completely awestruck in front of the TV. Fantastic humor, without going "over the top" and being stupid and ridiculous. Absolutely brilliant!

AAAAAAUUUUUGHHHH!!! This again shows the downfall of Comedy Central!! Why can't they be nice and give us back the older episodes of "Mystery Science Theater 3000" with Joel? Anyway, this is a very stupid show. It's about these "hidden cameras" and they do all these dumb things like dress people up like cats and bears and harass people and beating each other up and getting chased by animals and stuff. Like "Crank Yankers" the show has no plot and no point. They have these other dumb jokes like a lady asking people to rub her "lucky" feet or a guy smearing a hot dog in ketchup and throwing it away. Wha------??!!! Or things like a guy running away (in slow-motion, keep this in note) from guys in bull costumes. How could this show be liked so darn much when it's just plain stupid!! But I never liked reality shows. Just look at "Survivor" "The Fear Factor" or any of the others. This needs to be locked away and cancelled immediatley!! I have to rank this with "Crank Yankers" and "South Park" as the dumbest, and crappiest Comedy Central shows ever. A 3/10. Occansional showings of "Saturday Night Live" are the only reasons I "still" tune into the network.

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.

Dom Joly is a genius. Playing a Traffic Warden he will use a pedestrian crossing and warn the motorist who stopped for him he has 'parked' on double yellow lines. Dressed in a striped t-shirt and eye-mask he asks an elderly couple the way to the village post-office. As a park keeper he asks an old man if he is the vandal who chopped down trees with a chainsaw during the night ("If you want to do that sort of thing, sir, get a job as a forest ranger - don't do it here, OK?").These situations are funny but what is even funnier is: the motorist gets angry; the couple *apologise* for not knowing where the post-office is, they're just visiting; the man in the park gives an anxious account of his movements.Are these reactions typically British? That strange desire we have not to make a fuss and stick out from the crowd? The psychology of THTV is fascinating.My personal favourites are the squirrels - but I've given away too much already!
