Dom Joly on Losing Millions From Trigger Happy TV

[@philipwells5988]

Such a great interview Rob. I grew up watching Trigger Happy so I found this really fun. I also found it interesting how he mentioned the risk involved with following your dreams and how that is a huge barrier for many.

[@kyladio93]

I absolutely love Trigger Happy, it honestly had a massive impact on my life. Watched it as a kid and again now in 26, revisting it, and its absolute genius. An amazing social behaviour experiment. Gives me a sadness and the best unique laughs like nothing else could ever deliver all at the same time. I think the work of Dom Jolly here was pure and revolutionary and never ever copiable.

[@AJ-rd4ng]

Pop me a message! We are totally the same age group, and we both love trigger happy and seem decent people

[@chrischarlescook]

Such a great show. And feels nostalgic now with the old school cars and pre social media / KZbin world. And the soundtrack is amazing.

[@eightbo]

Super old comment ngl I had a cheeky stalk but I love your taste in music! Papa nu guinea future sound of London, Commix be true, dmx slippin', dub FX, Rufus du sol, cocteaux twins, aphex twin, bicep, bloc party, Bonobo, RHCP, dj aedidas, shlomo, madvillain, burial, joy Division, most of your dub from what I can see, the list is fucking endless to be honest. Plus all the classic nostalgia tunes you must be about the same age as me. Then there's all the Jordan Peterson shit Ted talks I've watched idk just too much crossover for me to ignore thought might as well reach out Idk if you have notifications on but if you do I would love a chat at some point if you're into it? Drop a reply if you're into it. Safe have a good day either way

[@Jason-rn4jk]

I never realized this, but growing up to this day I can’t stand anything English as an American, but trigger happy tv is the only thing that I laugh my ass off too. The ideas were intellectual with a thought basis behind them, not trying to be dumber and stupider than the guy before you.

[@felenti4956]

A reminder to all aspiring interviewers; the subject is the star, not you.

[@AJ-rd4ng]

Underrated comment

[@jackmeeov1908]

Spot on, can’t stand this interviewer

[@Liberty_Freedom_Brotherhood]

Good point. This interviewer thinks he is the star

[@ArifGhostwriter]

Lol - yes - this advice was swimming in my head. I let it go, as I just assumed that the interviewer was indeed a star of equal weight, just unbeknownst to me. Also - the podcast/pub chat format allows much more licence for a two-way conversation - but it goes to show, that there's much to be said for accepted conventions over interview methodology - someone needs to wear the interviewer hat, & someone the interviewee - & - stick to your rails.

[@ArifGhostwriter]

Once when William Shatner appeared on Graham Norton (a big evening chat show, in the UK) - he then assumed the dynamic of being a 'co-host' with Graham, as the other guests appeared on the couch. Such an egotist.

[@harryherman5371]

Watched the whole thing which is rare. Dom is part of an intelligent generation of artists/comics or whatever, a classier time. We must bring it back to the analogue age, we were happier.

[@Locutus]

Dom's looks have hardly changed in the last 15 years! He still looks great!

[@ZCT808]

Good lord, WHY can't the camera guy just leave the damn camera alone? Zooming in, wobbling about. It's like a child who has never seen a camera shot it. And yeah, interviewer, no one cares, focus on the subject not yourself. Also, stop blocking the camera, and it's 'losing.'

[@Moonlightshadow-lq4fr]

I couldn't watch the last half because of this insane wobble! We didn't see any wobble when the astronauts filmed on the moon, even the thousands of still shots were perfectly framed and in focus, just like the movies :)

[@Marky.H]

Trigger happy helped me through tough times back then... I used to suffer terrible depression but I'd put an episode on and it would help me feel better straight away. The music and Dom doing his thing just made me feel happy and warm inside. Thank you for the interview Rob and thank you for trigger happy Dom Jolly 😊 Listening to you both I feel im very similar in my take on life. Respect you both so much. Also Rob.... seriously.... love the way you allow who you are interviewing say what's on his mind and what he believes in... however you don't just agree just to brown nose... you still say if you do or don't agree... much love my friend Dom's outlook on life is IDENTICAL to mine... especially financially.. albeit mine on a poorer scale...watching and listening to him was like watching me and what I do and believe in.. not necessarily his taste in music (I love music and very passionate about it but different) but certainly all his beliefs are identical to mine... love the bloke... I just managed the same lifestyle retrospectively as a carpenter lol

[@CheckFred]

Loved this interview ....... BUT! That bloody Wobbly camera??? ..... A Bleeding NightMARE!!! :-(

[@chrischarlescook]

Please buy some tripods. I've seen POV footage from earthquakes that are more steady. Must be massively distracting for the guest too the way they float about.

[@paulrobinson1288]

Great interview, a very interesting insight. Was the cameraman pissed? I felt sea sick at times😁

[@ManCave1972]

Trigger Happy defined an era-if you watch it now you realise what a moment they captured. You could never shoot it today the way they did. Even the soundtrack wrapped up a ten year period. The streets were different, and Trigger Happy did so many things that we might have not even appreciated at the time. A grown man dressed as a Boy Scout went right under everyone’s radar. The phone thing was actually much greater than we realised at the time- people actually missed the fact the phone was massive, it’s was so absurd that people missed the obvious stuff. I appreciate Dom’s pragmatic approach to work. We can all identify. Anyway, he has sealed his place in history.

[@andrewcurtis100]

Dom is so correct , art comes from the cold , the dark, the hostile . Lock us up in a dark room and art will appear in time

[@jamescricketson9464]

If I told you to Fck off, would that contribute towards your genius?

[@samhenderson7239]

Charles Bronson knows this all too well.

[@Harry-yo8zr]

My friend texted me today saying “Has he paid 2 quid”. This brought me back instantly to my childhood memories of wrenching with laughter while watching Dom as a child. A great interview with a fantastic comedian!

[@matthewmiller8048]

There are three trigga happy moments that make me really laugh out loud, one is the educated cultural punk, another is film writer trying to script a bloke who states, " i just wanna be me". The other is an outtake of the boring snooker guy. Genius

[@Psychological-Services]

Trigger Happy TV 📺 is still a massive part of my life at nearly 50. The humour keeps me alive 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@iArachnia]

Dom’s creativity made the 2000s! Excellent comic and creator. Great guy, makes me miss the 2000s.

[@ArifGhostwriter]

Circa 1h13m : Dom wants kids to know that you absolutely don't have to 'know what you're doing' - when setting out on a given path. Fantastic advice. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@gregmathews715]

We need more Dom Joly, he provides his own kind of enlightenment to so many, we need more of his humour and insights

[@gregmathews715]

He so inspired my sister, who died but Dom gave her some insights. I would like to meet Dom

[@bossdemon]

It's great to see Dom's approach to doing his thing. Such a banal pub convo but actually worth a few listens for the nuggets.

[@PawnMan]

Dom Joly is a goddamn human treasure. So so so funny and talented

[@jin6000]

Trigger Happy TV played a huge part in shaping me as a person. Discovered this interview after reminiscing about the show with a friend and Dom Joly is just SOOO refreshing to listen to. Guy is absolutely brilliant. Thanks you SO much for this interview. Awesome work.

[@rigMan123]

What did it shape you into? A giant rabbit?

[@jin6000]

[@lakerycakes3757]

I used to watch Trigger Happy TV in the 90s and I still watch in 2020. It makes me laugh and I love it.

[@samhenderson7239]

Trigger Happy was from year 2000. Not 90s

[@tomleigh7478]

​ IT WAS NOT THE 90'S!!! OK!!!! Watch out, the century police are about

[@originallifeadvice5640]

Love Dom Joly. Was a huge fan of Trigger Happy as a teenager. This was very inspiring. Thanks!

[@squirrelchops7]

Had to google Rob Moore because I'd never heard of him. He's very intense and focused. Despite this I suspected he was a presenter on Radio 1. Interesting listening as I have a bit of a thing for Dom Joly. I feel like I've sat in the pub with him now. Dreadful camera work. I felt seasick. You can keep it real and un-edited and still use a tripod!

[@terryperring104]

Loosing? This isn't Facebook

[@ReadTheReview-jv4iu]

I’ve always done this sort of stuff almost my whole life. Didn’t know it was a form of art. It’s weird when he said some people just can’t do these things as they feel uncomfortable. For some it’s just natural. I can’t believe I never ever watched Trigger Happy Tv until binging it on Netflix in 2022! Damn! Would have loved to have joined his team and offer some ideas. The guy is a reality tv genius though.

[@jamesmcwhirter1692]

This channel needs more traction! awesome interview and without doubt my favourite podcast.

[@federicohan1458]

The title part is shortly after the 1hr mark. Great interview!

[@Harrison_Rs]

Trigger Happy TV and World Shut Your Mouth were my go to shows to have a laugh as a kid.

[@kyladio93]

Literally wtf I listen to either radio 4 or BBC World Service when going to sleep too 😫😅🙌🏼 hell yee!!

[@eightbo]

Enjoyed this Love how Dom was like "fuck, I said I wish I was gay and I do drugs and it's not going to be edited out?" but also just finished explaining how he loves taking life as it comes, so you know he secretly enjoyed that curveball.

[@bilbobass88]

I grew up adoring this man and Trigger Happy TV, such a funny show.

[@samhenderson7239]

Brilliant Interview with Dom Joly. It’s insightful. Thanks. I met him yesterday, great chap, down to earth but he seems depressed these days.

[@zachsurp]

we're all depressed these days : ) world is boring

[@BroskiRIP]

*losing, not loosing. Come on, be professional if you're interviewing big names.

[@Nickwasere]

Brilliant interview!

[@GreenOilBike]

Heard him on LBC at the weekend - talented journalist! Was disappointed no one made any Trigger Happy TV jokes though haha SN

[@lakerycakes3757]

I love Dom Joly's and I would like to see him back

[@leanatale7251]

Trigger happy. Was So refreshing, absolutely loved it!!!!

[@hexagon9895]

Losing*

[@anUntouchable]

This man is a genius

[@ravenhill_down_yonder-1968]

i used to always get told i looked like Dom.

[@billybonkers94]

Irritating! Couldn't watch more than 5 minutes. I love Dom but I can't stand the self centred interviewing from a nobody

[@erdemir5641]

Relatively speaking dom joly is a nobody too. Neither of them are a somebody to me

[@DavidGerrish]

Loved this interview

[@scarlettspear7447]

You are never an X Goth...HILARIOUS!!!

[@Redemption660]

Imagine if Trigger Happy only came out now with the likes of TikTok as a platform.

[@Ashs-mini-vlogs]

Who’s interviewing who

[@erdemir5641]

This bloke is straight off the production line

[@solomonkane3989]

Watching some Trigger-Happy TV recently on KZbin got me looking at his twitter account. He seems really hateful, he's calling people see-you-en-tees on twitter, calling people 'gammons', russian spies/puppets. Spiteful. 'Virtue-signalling'. He watches too much news I think, and it is sending him (and others who identify as 'liberals') as bitter as a barrel of limes. Unpleasant to see.

[@stormyjlb]

Great interview!

[@soundnugget2157]

9:55 That was Viv Savage

[@danielclemence3689]

Too long. Please edit.

[@ArifGhostwriter]

Am very happy about the non-editing style/aim.

[@stormyjlb]

Improv being not respected? GAH! As an actor, my improv training is the best thing I’ve ever done! I use it so much in scripted material. I have tons of respect for people who are good at improv!

[@veg4life.]

never knew he's Lebanese, mad respect

[@andyb3666]

He was born there & partly grew up there but his parents are British

[@citydesk4527]

No art in the South of France? Van Gogh, Picasso, Chagall, Dufy? I did enjoy this interview though.

[@jamescricketson9464]

He's taking the p1ss

[@neil865]

Probably the worst interviewer ever (Dom Joly's great though).

[@PeteRoy]

very interesting

Why can't the camera guy keep the bloody camera still? This is the worst podcast ever. Total rubbish.

Was a huge fan of THTV but Joly just comes across as a massive bellend on social media

[@mclovin8739]

Dom is a little cry baby always crying about anything that doesn't go his way, mediocre at best.

[@robrob2982]

You clearly did not watch this

[@RefugeeOfModernity]

thanks for the timestamps but where's the part about him losing millions??
