Jackson Booth-Millard I thought Jackass was a great unwritten barrel of laughs, this is even funnier. He started out on the news having amusing protests, e.g. for Teddy Bear Rights, and now British Comedy Award nominated Dom Joly has become a Channel 4 celebrity, and rightly so. He basically plays many different and hilarious characters, and plays jokes on the normal everyday public, most of the time without their knowing or understanding. The most enjoyable characters (that appear more than others) are: The Phone Guy (shouts "Hello!" after the famous ring tone), The Spy/Secret Agent, The Dogs and The Squirrels. Also, as the interviewer he has managed to meet Tony Blackburn, Ian Botham, Alice Cooper, Jason Donovan, Terry Gilliam, Bob Holness, Ken Livingstone, John McCririck, Tim Rice, Tony Robinson, Leo Sayer, Peter Stringfellow and Toyah Willcox. It was nominated the British Comedy Award for Best New TV Comedy. The Christmas Specials were number 51 on The 100 Greatest Christmas Moments, and the programme appeared twice on The 100 Greatest Funny Moments. Outstanding!
puka_puppi83 I never watched much of comedy central until my sister introduced me to the hilarious show, Trigger Happy. It has a hilarious spice with its oddity, which makes it even better. Dom Joly is humorous, and with the three co-stars now, the show gets even better. The only downfall to the show is when it just isn't funny. The older(England episodes) aren't near as funny as the new(US ones) but they still pack a few more original laughs. Over all, I'd say it's a great show that really gets you, well, happy!
theaustinpeay This show is my favorite right now. It's absolutely hilarious. The ideas for pranks are really brilliant and original. Make sure you watch the older episodes that take place in England. I find the new cast and new location to be not as funny. Two thumbs up!
Daelock 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.
