trigger happy TV

has anyone else seen this show? it's on comedy central and it's pretty damn funny. i like how they open every show with that guy talking on the huge nokia cell phone. now everytime i heard that signature nokis ring i think about the show.

Omigod, this show ROCKS!! I love the one where he's going door to door with Carol Decker from T'Pau and trying to sell clothespins.

This show is GENIUS (even though it's still second to Tom Green).

This was shown on english TV a few years ago!

It is shit and not funny, i would like to do some 'funny' shit to him and see how he likes it!
Making fun of the public (or at least scaring them a little) is apparantly comic genius these days. This form of reality TV sucks (as does all of it really)

This is nothing genius, he is a fat twat.

We used to muck about a bit like this when young and knowone but us found it funny then! Why the fuck is it so funny now?

This type of irrelevnace is just so witty isn't it?

No talent in this type of shit AT ALL!

boxed i've never seen anyone get scared on this TV show. most people know that it's just a joke or just ignore them. it's not like tom greene, where people are getting straight up tortured or harrassed.

I think you're being a trifle harsh. I don't think there has been any case that I've seen from the series where a member of the public was scared. Confused maybe but definetly not scared. Neither is it a reality TV show, it's a comedy show.

Calling someone a fat twat and wishing to do 'funny shit' to someone who wants to bring of fun and laughter to people's lives seems a bit, well.....sad. sad

He is a waste of space and people do get annoyed with him.

I just hate the whole "He's a genius" shitty thing! He is making people look foolish and i would like to do that to him and see how he likes it!

Doing that does not make u funny in my book.

Makes him funny in my book. smile

And to be fair, what he is really doing is putting himself in absurd situations and making himself look foolish, not other people. Everyone else always acts bemused and/or amused, which is a perfectly natural reaction.

He's a guy who's always willing to make himself look an arse. And that's one fundamental aspect of this type of comedy - so we, the audience can laugh at someone making a dick of themselves without us feeling vulnerable.
