Trigger Happy TV

[Will]

Anybody watch this? It's probably one of the funniest shows on cable. It's a candid camera type sketch show where the English guy(forget his name) plays pranks on everyone but he's dead serious.

There's also some funny as hell furry stuff in there like when the English dude calls up rat exterminators and says he has a bit rat in his apt to then have them show up and he shows them a dude in a rat suit chillin on his couch

It's usually on weekdays at 2:00-3:00 on Comedy Central.

I somewhat like it.

But a few of the pranks in the later shows started to seem less thought out and elaberate, and I didn't pay much attention to the show during their, like, thrid season.
Although the stupidly-large-cell-phone bits always get a smile out of me.

"Hell-O!!!"

Didn't mean to rag, though.

Ah well I haven't caught all the eps per season so I only saw a couple of them here and there. But all the times I've seen it I cracked up.

Mad TV, this, Chapelle Show, and South Park are friggin great shows on CC.

Although the stupidly-large-cell-phone bits always get a smile out of me.

Hell yeah. I also liked when he was jogging behind two ladies and did that and he scared the shit out of them.

One of the later ones, when they add the black dude and that chick, had this one skit where the black dude is running for some kind of office, and he's talking to a crowd of people.

Then some lady asks him to kiss her (fake) baby, and he does. Then he licks his lips and does it again. Then he starts making out with the baby.

That shit was funny.

The only one I remember was this guy walking past some psychic's shop with a sign that said, "Beware of Stalker Mice." And then the guy was walking up an alley and the people were dressed in mouse suits and kept following him. When he turned back to look, they'd pretend they were doing other things.

Retelling it, it doesn't sound funny, but it was pretty good in action.

I love the first season. The second was ok, and haven't seen it since.

I think my favorite skit is when he's dressed as a cop and on the street is bumper to bumper backed up traffic and he goes up to a guy in a little car and says "Sir this is a no standing zone. You'll have to move"

Or something like that, it was great

They tried an American version of this show, and it did not take the trip across the Atlantic well.

[RaBee]

Yeah the thrid season, I figured. That's what I was getting at.

When they introduced a new cast and location. And the show lost that spark, or something.

Nah it still sounds funny as hell.

That's a shame.

Today he was "interviewing" some guy in a public place and chick comes up to him and goes "I love your show, can I have your autograph?!" He's like, I'm doing an interview now...and he ends up signing her chest. The interviewee starts laughing. Then she asks for a kiss and he hesitates and then they start making out. The guy laughs more. Then the chick breaks away and goes "If you want the real stuff you have to chase me!" and she runs away into the crowd. The interviewee is still laughing and then the other guy stands there for a second, drops the mic and hauls ass after her. Great bit. And the dude that wears the slug outfit and crawls across the intersection is damn funny.
