Trigger Happy TV

I don't think there's a bad word i could say about this show to be honest with you, i think everyone will agree the funniest comedy is real life comedy or comedy in real life situations, because it gives off true reactions and emotions on the "victims" or "marks", and this is exactly what this show is about...an absolutely cracking attempt at winding up the UK public with bizarre reanactments and scenes, and just generally odd behaviour. The show is about one man (and some accomplices? I can't remember) but mainly one man Dom Joly, who does a cracking job here as a guy pulling stunts on members of the public, such classic scenes include ...  Read the complete review

Trigger Happy TV was an Absolutely Productions production which starred Dom Joly and ran on Channel 4 from 2000-2001. However, you can find repeats of this on miscellaneous digitals channels from time to time. The show was a hidden camera comedy programme where cameraman Sam Cadman would follow Dom Joly around as he played pranks on members of the public and often embarrassed people or got them in to ridiculous situations. One of the most commonly remembered sketches was Dom Joly pulling out a 4 foot long giant Nokia mobile phone which was ringing and then he'd scream HELLO down the phone usually making everyone around him cringe with embarrassment ...  Read the complete review

Trigger happy TV is most definately Dom Jolly at his very best, he pulls some amazingly funny stunts on unsuspecting members of the public whose reactions have literally had me crying with laughter. My favourite stunts he pulls include one where he kicks a ball through a 'pretend' window and run's off leaving a member of the public to explain to who they think own's the house!! Other stunts of Dom's are giant squirrels fighting in public, the very classic large phone ringing in the library and giant characters jumping out of bushes making whoever is walking past jump, scream or run away!! This programme truly has something for everyone and appeals to all different types ...  Read the complete review

Trigger Happy TV is the brain child of Dom Jolly. Trigger Happy is basically a load of different "stunts" pulled on the unsuspecting public and it is truly a genius comedy which broke new ground on how far you could push people. The show has some truly memoreable moments including Dom turning up at prison with a giant Get Out of Jail Free card, the giant squirells fighting in the park as people enjoy a picnic, the giant dogs fighting in the middle of a busy street, the man in the snail suit crawling along a crossing whilst the cars sit waiting. These are good but my favourite stunts have to be where Dom calls in the pest control only to find a man in a giant ...  Read the complete review

Trigger Happy TV was screened on Channel 4 between 2000 and 2001. Without any doubt, it has got to be one of my favourite TV shows of all time! The format of the show is very simple. Comedian, Dom Joly basically does silly things in public, and the public's reaction is captured. The classic sketch that Dom used to carry out, usually at the start of the show was with a huge mobile phone. A mobile phone noise would be made, and he would shout down the phone as loud as he possibly could, often making everyone around him jump! The funniest of these clips for me was filmed in a gentleman's toilet - not something you expect when you are spending a ...  Read the complete review
