Americans React to Trigger Happy TV - Best Jokes of Season 2!

[@woooster17]

Memories man…. Try ‘Balls of Steel’ particularly’Neg’s Urban Sports’ They are classics… watching them in the early 2000’s was like a right of passage! 😂😂

[@LewisNuke92]

1000000%!

[@lordcharfield]

Oh yessssssssss! Absolutely 1000000000000000% 😂

[@leenattrass]

I second this.

[@andyc7666]

When Neg was chainsmoking in a club and the bouncers were trying to catch him lol!

[@jonathanlandau-litewski7405]

Woah, I totally forgot all about that show!!!

[@garymcatear822]

Trigger happy tv has the best soundtrack of any show on tv anywhere in the world, i have both compilations.

[@andyquin5386]

I'd forgotten how good the soundtrack was.

[@Chudnut]

Good albums

[@lewishookings7536]

Couldn't really remember it other than the elastica song, having watched this it's got some great songs.

[@johnloony68]

I remember he did one sketch in which he crept up behind an Eskimo, who was fishing through a hole in the ice in the far north of Canada, and did a loud CLANG! noise with a pair of cymbals, just to make the eskimo jump out of his skin with the surprise/ fright. He flew to Canada specifically to do that one joke / sketch.

[@projectdalekmark]

'World Shut Your Mouth' is fantastic too. Loads of trigger happy memories. Beautiful 90's & early 2000's

[@SimoExMachina2]

The memories of this... man. I was in the army doing my consription service. The year was 2001 (we actually saw the 9/11 news while in service). The weekend holidays home with hot sauba, hot pizza, ice cold beer and Trigger Happy TV was the absolute high light of my life those days.

[@zarthur2752]

This was so ahead of the times.. Some were hit and miss but others were hilarious

[@FrowningIke]

20:46 It's a guy in a dog costume being "randomly" attacked by another person in a dog costume. 100% of Brits will immediately realise this is a piss take, roll their eyes and get on with their day.

[@ruddyy123]

Phone jacker is worth a watch. Same as this. But in my opinion it’s funnier

[@colinglen4505]

I was just about to write that. I think it's spelt Fonejacker. The best of compilations are brilliant.

[@ruddyy123]

@@colinglen4505 you’re correct mate, it is fonejacker haha. I just start typing and don’t think about the correct spelling as I want to get the comment posted haha. Really how they do some. I only found out a few years ago that it’s waj from 4 lions who did the voices 😆 was so surprised to learn that

[@sunseeker9581]

Facejacker was better as you got to see the prank

[@ebbhead20]

Loved this in the late 90s. And good to see the Lord of Bath again. Always Found it so funny that he was a lord with a huge estate, but looked like my mum's hippe artist friends. 😊

[@plp50000009]

I’m so happy to see this - loved this since the first time I saw it years and years ago.

[@emmae4602]

I am so happy someone reacted to Trigger Happy. It was such a funny show 😂

[@dainfarley9057]

I remember the frail old guy holding up traffic on the crossing then after crossing runs off at speed lmao 😂

[@FrowningIke]

4:48 This is a safari park. The animals, including Lions etc are in extremely large enclosures that you drive through and they are essentially roaming free. You are under strict instructions to keep windows closed and doors locked. A very common occurrence at these places is having monkeys or smaller apes like baboons swarming your car, breaking windscreen wipers etc.

[@FightingCoward]

KZbin pranks before KZbin existed.

[@tradeladder146]

I Loved the Music all the way thru this, so many Great Memories.

[@Ben-Cricket]

Was an iconic show and soundtrack was amazing

[@themoderntemplar1567]

You should have a look at Burniston, especially the voice recognition elevator in Scotland and Ma mad Uncles. Fkn hilarious.👌😂

[@danielcowan8673]

Dom Joly did a watchalong of Trigger Happy on KZbin during Covid. He said the student he was pretending to recruit for intelligence left 3 messages on his ansaphone just saying "Mugwoffin", each time.

[@johnloony68]

10:32 that’s Lord Bath - a famous aristocrat in real life

[@johnloony68]

15:36 there were Guardian Angels in London too for a while

[@tighabhinn]

Trigger Happy TV was a big hit in the UK - It's funny how the Americans don't seem to find the pranks very funny , preferring to sympathise with the people being pranked. For me, none of the stunts are cruel or hurtful. They simple leave the people puzzled

[@gavinblack450]

Forgot how good the soundtrack was for trigger happy….playlist incoming

[@tallish87]

Phone jacker is another great prank call tv show 😊

[@RikologyGaming]

Gotta remember this show came out in the year 2000, before the internet and before any other real prankster show …

[@rossmacintosh5652]

I never understood why Trigger Happy TV wasn't picked up by North American TV networks. Well worth binge watching everything Dom Jolly has ever done! Little known fact is he got his start by protesting politicians when they were being interviewed. While they were talking he'd do things like have a couple people in giant squirrel costumes start humping in the background. He wouldn't have it filmed but instead relied on the interviewers sharing it on TV as it was always more interesting than the actual interviews. Later one of the networks gave Dom Jolly his own low-budget show and Trigger-Happy TV was created.

[@lancewhitchurch512]

Watch "Brass Eye" its the OG of this type of stuff. 🎂

[@ralphsearing7892]

Help or run? He'd definitely run.

[@paulbromley6687]

Did you know that the main actor you have been watching is Dom Jolly he went to the same school as Osama bin Laden in Lebanon.

[@rossmacintosh5652]

That's cool. I love Dom. ❤ Osama not so much. 💔

[@stuartsmith3555]

You lot need to look Fonejacker. You’ll love it

[@johnloony68]

33:53 novelist Frederick Forsyth

[@Nojj-w7s]

You lads have got to try 'nighty night'

[@richardcallaghan7454]

One of my favourite comedy shows ever ❤

[@ross8884]

The funniest darkest thing on TV..... "things just get...messy" :)

[@michaeltunnicliffe4935]

Trigger Happy TV was just harmless fun. Not offensive, not overly violent, not risking anyone's safety. Modern prank shows have upped the ante and yes, they are the sort of shows which will offend and will threaten peoples safety. Especially this youtube shit where people go around slapping people or stealing as a prank. That's not a prank, it's just criminal behavior. But I think the main problem with this show is that the British are just too laid back. We don't really react. We just observe and ether politely go along with it or awkwardly do nothing. I guess a more modern version of this is Impractical Jokers. And that show had a British and American version and just like I said, the British version didn't really work because the British just shrug it off. It's Americans who are shocked, appalled, insulted or scared shitless.

[@keithfinn1011]

Try the Fast Show for clips (1990's) Johnny Depp guested on it. Or 'Father Ted' if you haven't done it already.

[@pb5531]

Balls of steel next!!!

[@racheldicker5611]

The man in the white t shirt is surrounded by cowards

[@jimjams20001]

Who was the guy that came through the door behind you at 11.05 ?

[@rossmacintosh5652]

Their room mate who just got out of Belleview Hospital. They don't hang with him.

[@chippydogwoofwoof]

Trust me guys do a reaction to Annoying devil

[@shylemon2224]

Please react to fone jacker if you haven’t already 😅

[@slapdashdumper]

Growing up as an early teen and the birth of Monty Python I was blessed to witness the beginnings of Brithish new-age tv comedy but I never found Trigger funny at all ............if these were the best jokes then splice three minutes of Nish Kumar on the end to ensure a coup de grace .

[@billdemudd6697]

re-up

[@Roz-y2d]

These were a bit lame. There are much funnier ones. Disappointing.

[@f3aok]

Scraping the bottom of the barrel with this guys.

[@richardcallaghan7454]

Get f****d! I'm guessing you like your pranks a little more scripted..
