Honestly, I don't think Trigger is playing dumb, I think he's just completely thick😂
Roger Lloyd Pack who played Trigger was very clever in real life
That's just Trigger lol 😂😂 totally thick lol
One of my most favourite episodes
Trigger was just genuinely dense. They couldn't have cast anyone better. Dead behind the eyes, brilliant.
It’s about time you watched a full episode instead of random clips with no context
Hope you've seen the clip "They're Calling the Baby Rodney After Dave" !
Del Boy got "Hispanic confusion" too: he always used to say "No way, Pedro" instead of "No way, Jose"
Calling Rodney Dave is a wonderfull running gag.
When Raquel is pregnant Trigger says if it’s a girl it’s going to be called Sigourney after a famous actress and if it’s a boy it’s going to be called Rodney after Dave. 😂😂
S3 e1, Homesick, shown in 1983.
Trigger isn't playing dumb, the only reason he said that Del said Rodney was too dumb to accept responsibility, was because thats what Del always says about "Dave" Rodney. If you watch the rest of the episode theres nothing in it for Trigger for Rodney being VP, and there is no further evidence in the rest of the series of trigger being sly and putting on his slowness. And we all know someone who is terrible with names, and calls people the wrong name often repeatedly, it is like many things with Only Fools and Horses an observation on life and the people which inhabit it, the running joke is it never sinks in with Trigger, because he's slow.
Roger Lloyd-Pack who played Trigger, played a completely different character but equally funny role in "The Vicar of Dibley" from 1994 to 2007 another fantastic cast and sitcom series that you need to check out
(Anything to get you away from Harry Enfield) Lol
Trigger is just dumb, full stop, but comes out with some clever sounding things sometimes, just like Stan Laurel did. Just when you think he is having a moment of lucidity, he digs himself back in the pit of dumness.. ...very funny.
I am American and i think this show was the best!!!!!
My childhood growing up watching this on a Saturday with a takeaway with my family. Love this show !
Same here but unfortunately not anymore
@@frozengamer3030 how come? It’s still limited to a Christmas Day watch when I go back home in winter these days haha
@@summer9380 I mean one of my family members passed away.
@@frozengamer3030 ohh sorry to hear that 😔😔 Same in fact though that reminds me of those times with him together as a family!
@@summer9380 I still watch the show but by myself
Other than the first 3 series (I think), all the outside shots were filmed in Bristol. Nelson Mandela House was a block of block of flats overlooking Ashton Gate stadium, the home of Bristol City F.C. and the Bristol Bears rugby union team who topped the premiership last season.
I grew up in the UK on this BRILLIANT masterpiece! I still love it to this day! I don’t think that Trig is playing dumb. I think he absolutely is. I think the joke here is the dumb guy somehow getting one up on the supposedly smarter one. Oh Felipe, you looked awkward when asked about any special favors you have needed from people in the past. It looked like you were trying to avoid that one at college, when you asked Lillian’s friend where she hangs out after class, and paid them off to keep it a secret!! STALKER!!!!! Of course, because Lillian is SO SMART, it was the library!!! 😂😂😂 I know that wasn’t ‘reverse psychology’ but I couldn’t resist!
My cat is called Rodney 😁👍
Oh and Trig is definitely thick, he's as thick two short planks.
Trigger isn’t using reverse psychology. Sometimes he accidentally says clever things. If you watch all the series, you will see Trigger really is dumb!
Naming baby rodney after Dave
Try watching the "my old broom" episode and still think that Trigger isn't thick.😂🤣
CZcams channels like yours are great for creating transatlantic friendships. A friend in Georgia was having a bit of fun with me over the "Dave's not here" thing, which she had to explain was Cheech and Chong by sending me the link to the CZcams clip. I'd never heard of them in the UK. In return, I tried to convince her my real name was Rodney, and "Dave" was just my Google account and sent her the link to this clip, which is also my favourite from the show. Now, when she says hi, I sometimes just say "Dave's not here" and it all starts all over again!
Read-and understand-the standing orders Dave.
It's never discovered why Trigger habitually calls Rodney Dave - no-one else ever does.
Everyone accepts Trigger is in his own little world, so it needs no explanation :)
Filipe, you have discovered the way to get people to do what you want them to do at work. Some like to be ordered, some like a simple request, and some need to be made to feel they are doing you a favour as a friend, I used to try different things with new employees to find out what works for them. I had a problem with a mentally handicapped guy which took weeks to sort out, as he would not do his tasks on time, holding up production. I told him off about a task which should take no longer than 20 minutes, and he claimed it could not be done that fast, so I had to prove it to him by doing in front of him in just 12 minutes. Next time I just reminded him and said "I bet you can't even do it in 20 minutes" to which he replied "Bet I can" and he did it in 15. After that, whatever the task I just had to say "I bet you can't do it in X minutes", and it worked like magic every time.
Great video Lillian! I totally get what your husband Paolo is saying about the mix up of names of people of the same 'ethnicity'.
"would you create a spreadsheet for this? Oh wait you're not familiar with Excel." (knowing full well that they are and they'll be more than happy to prove it).
A manager at company I worked for several years ago called a salesman sat nav, his name was Sat Nam. When I worked for a minicab company many years ago the night controller started calling me Dave, so the drivers called him trig, when asked why he called me Dave, he said because he had been watching a program which featured a character called Dagenham Dave and I lived in Dagenham at that time.
It's easy to see why OFAH is Britain's favourite sitcom. I find flatshare sitcom Peep Show to be even better, but I can see why OFAH appeals to a much wider demographic.
Peep show better than OFAH , please don’t compare them haha 🤣 I know everyone is aloud an opinion but jheezeee 😞
It's true Trigger is ingenious, thanks for this.
Filipe should ask Lillian if she as been a victim of reverse psychology.
People trying to palm work off is a major annoyance in an office!
Reverse psychology is used by everyone all the time. It's about subtlety.
In Jr. High people called ME "Wilt"!(irony as I was VERY short! Still am)
I had a colleague that was lazy, but he was also very competitive. I used to say things like "there's no way you could ever get all those filed by this afternoon" and sure enough he would suddenly develop a work ethic!
"I knew you couldn't do it" is a great example of reverse psychology- the person refusing to do the task is now compelled to prove they can.
Trigger became dumb, but this was not the case in the very early series in which he was portrayed more as a shifty small-time crook. Later on the writer (John Sullivan) turned him into a council worker who is rather challenged in the brain department, as this was funnier.
You've clipped the video to short ye missed when Rodney falls of the chair. Noticed with some of your clip s you cut to short n miss some more best bits.
Perhaps Trigger is from the Future 🌅yet to come and invents a spin off series called Rodney shown on Dave 📺
I somehow suspect that there is a flaw in your idea that Trigger is actually intelligent and it's all an act!
Trigger is consistent in his failure to understand things.
I can assure you this doesn’t lead to Rodney becoming an Executive!
- Ah, " Lillybean " .. !!!
Lillybean - Lillybean - Lillybean - Lillybean - Lillybean ..
Hey Grundy, can you do this for me? No. Oh, go on, I'm only asking because I can trust you to do it properly. OK then. Then I intentionally do it wrong. See, reverse phycology works both ways! 😁
Nobody calls me Christopher. I would hate it if they did.
Should really watch a full episode or do a montage you are watching one of the most treasured comedy's and little clips don't do it justice. If anything it spoils it.
Unfortunately Trigger is acting dumb because he is dumb that's the whole point of his character. There was never any psychology in any of the Only Fools and Horses episodes. They were written for comedy centering on Del Boy being the "crafty cockney", basically getting away with anything he could for a few quid.
Dumb means unable to speak.
Lillybean!!
Come on guys let's get bk to ur family Instead of celebrities celebrities celebrities Etc Etc Etc ur Videos where fun to watch good Clean family fun I enjoyed them used too. and your kids planning and doing things together let's get bk to True meaning
Of Postmodern family theory can be defined as a rejection of the ideas that there is universal progress in human history, that rules and norms are static (apply to everyone in the same way) and that family is the basis for learning about self. ... Postmodernists take this same expansive view to the definition of family.
Nah Felipe totally wrong my friend, Trigger is completely dumb, Del boy put Trigger up to this for his own usual selfish reasons, I won't spoil the plot, but when you see this episode it will all make sense.
Trigger is dumb end of .
Trigger is dumb.
