Privileged to have grown up watching this awesome show, great memories. This is how pranks are done - simple yet creative with great timing and style.
dabadadeeda I watched it on tape
It really is kind of a hipster thing for me knowing this show :D
Every time I'm like: "But do you know Trigger Happy TV" and the other person is like "Oh hell yeah!" it always feels like being a secret club

Yeh and great soundtrack to boot
Dom Joly is, for my money, the greatest prankster out there. His pranks are hilarious - but they transcend even that. They're literally art. And a lot of them are a scathing critique or statement on aspects of society - think the rude phone guy, or the jobsworth traffic warden. Absolute genius stuff.
Agreed. The music choices as well. So good.
I agree almost 100% I don't really seem them as "pranks" persay, I think it's more a "reactionary" show
The people turning up for the launch of a magazine about Will Self despite not knowing who he is but liking the look of the guest list is another prime example.
Eric Andre gives him a run for his money.
The concept and execution certainly is, genuinely, Art.
Obviously it was a collective, with purpose, directed by Dom Joly - but, similarly, "Dom Joly", at his height, has much more in common with, "Banksy", Tati, or the Dadaists, than he has with any of the legion of infantile and inane imbéciles you can find on TikTok and CZcams, simply annoying people by screaming on a train.
This was a brilliant series... I loved the one where he convinces some Japanese tourists to follow him with the cameras through lots of back streets and then gets in a taxi and leaves them standing there lost.
"...coupla bags of MC Hammer, some soggy chimps, 48 foot bastard, uh jumped up custard, and four sheets of 2X6X4X5...divided by 3."
😂
My all-time favourite for years and years. Utterly hilarious.
I've watched this about 50times today it's had me laughing my head off haha
I love the one where he goes in the butchers asking for random meats, like hardbone slybag haha
I don't know what the fackin hell it is?!
Cum on mate don't mess me about 😂
The '5 million' poem is pure genius. Straight up Andy Kaufman. .
I have never stopped thinking about this since the first time it aired. It’s just fundamentally funny at every possible level.
the pace and the arrangements and the soundtracks are what pushes this towards genius
Such a strange window back to 90's London. The alt soundtrack and all the oddball pranks gives a melancholic feeling as well.
It aint London no more
@@Smartacus420 unfortunately
What a shame, it will never be the same but how fortunate we were to of lived it.
@@Smartacus420 it's Londonistan now
This is my guilty pleasure
James, Pulp, Blur, Phonics, Elastica, Underworld, Echo and the Bunnymen... epic British Soundtrack for an epic British show!
What I love about this is that it's basically a slap-stick sketch comedy with random passers by who are unknowingly the audience. Made a huge difference when compared to other prank shows.
This is the craziest show. It's like taking acid on a rainy, foggy day. A weird 90's trip of melancholy.
ORDOTRIO This is so accurate.
Didn't it start in 2000?
Absolutely! A well mixture of comedy and melancholy. Especially in the dog costume sketches.
I love the way you worded that.
Remember banzai?
I wish there was a revival of these old shows.....just repeated on TV for new generations to discover. The soundtrack is incredible and memorable. I remember watching this with my parents back in the day and it was one show we'd always be crying in laughter together. Had it on VHS back then.
Gen Z - This is the origin of prankster videos.
PHONE JACKER
😊
You forget how good the music was in the 90’s and early 2000.
The timber yard scene at 23.45 is hilarious. " I've been in this game 40 years I don't know what you mean "
Can't stop watching it .
Oh cmon mate I don't have the time....... oh man!
Yeah but most of this is timber... ahh come on buddy, i havent got time to muck about. Can you just load us up some jumped up custard
Triple sod and Clarky cat
When he orders 4 dimensional plywood is the best part 😂😂😂
@@Mark-lj1dj
Then.. times it by 3 😁 😂😂
This show has stood the test of time beautifully. So many of his pranks have been imitated by thousands on CZcams since but this was made years before YT existed
Some of the funniest tv I’ve ever seen, still makes me cackle! The music licensing cost more than the filming but it’s an alchemy that worked then and is still brilliant now. Thank you Dom and Sam.
This show was ahead of its time. Still watching in 2021!
For those wondering, the soundtrack was on CD. When Trigger Happy returned in 2016, they did a fresh soundtrack which ended up on Spotify as a playlist.
Dom Joly, wow. You changed my life in ways you'd never imagine and for that i just wanted to say thank you
This show was so underrated. It's way better then any of these modern day CZcams prankers
Yea, and most yt prankers are actually total fakers. They STAGE their little gigs no doubt.
I used to watch the daily dropout years ago, and someone in their comments straight up BUSTED them for being fake af, and then the person calling them out - their comment disappeared pretty shortly after 😅
It was huge when it first aired. the nokia phone joke was massive (just like the phone)
This was the greatest series of all time. So glad I watched it growing up and it makes me laugh to this day.
Brings back memories, a time before hidden camera shows were staged.
Terry Gilliam is cool as fuck. I love how he's still giggling even after Joly smashes the guitar.
"Ooh fuck!"
Nobody will ever come near Dom Jollys pranks, back in the early 2000s, he was originally, funny and entertaining, you never knew what was coming next, but you were guaranteed great entertainment, the music was just perfect for the sketch scenes as well.....
I loved watching this show back in the day.
I love the cell phone bits "ELLO, ELLO? .. THE LYBREE, THE LYBREE!!"
Its hard to believe this series first came out twenty years ago in the early 2000s.
Terry Gilliam's "Oh f*ck!" of excitement at 48:32 always cracks me up!
Loved watching this with my Dad twenty years ago. He loved it. Happy memories.
Nostalgic beyond measure. Plus all the amazing random 90s songs
Prank shows are no longer the same. The old day ones were better :)
these pranks are much better than any old day pranks
+Talk Alot Comedy shows today are just about acting stupid and silly. It's like their target audience are infants. Even stand up comedy is plain and unfunny.
Luis Capellan i concur. Today’s shows Aren’t even funny when everybody is in it
The old day ones are always better because human's brain always forgot the bad.
This is human's perception. I don't think that you are a carrot.
Talk A lot R U stupid!? THIS IS THE SAME
Absolute legend. I loved this show when it first came out and it’s still got it today. Waaay better and more sophisticated than all the shock rubbish produced now.
Asking prices in the £1 store is hilarious 😂 😂 😂
For what it's worth, many so-called dollar stores in the states will have items for other prices. But because most of the items are for $1, they get by with advertising their store as a dollar store.
As someone who onced had a job serving the public it's very believable 😂😂 you have no idea how many idiots like that actually exist
Yeah, I was thinking that that joke wouldnt work here in NY today because it's a valid question here. The $1 store near me, half the shit is like $3+, what a scam @@englishatheart
The ORIGINAL public prankster
But its Remi Gaillard
@@Bruh-fc9dv lol don't you see that Remy Gaillard literatelly copied all of Dom Joly's pranks? He just did the same jokes on CZcams. Dom Joly's Trigger Happy TV started in early 2000's, when CZcams didn't exist yet. So you tell me now who's the original.
Nooooo ur wrong. Just because Remi started a CZcams doesn't mean he's been doing pranks before trigger happy. I think he's been doing it since 1990 or something. He was recording vids back in the 90s so technically he is the original *n i g g a*
There were TV prank programmes long before Trigger Happy
@@fernandopulido4232 now-a -days every fucking prankster does that open your eyes and see for yourself
Can we appreciate the amazing music they use
The self magazine was hilarious :D
I didn't understand it. English is not my main language. But it seems to be a very good elaborated prank. Can you explain it to me?
@@fernandopulido4232 I think they basically got a magazine to do a prank advert of Will Self, (the poet and author), which said (as a joke) that he was setting up a magazine of his own, doing a party to kick off the launch. It got lots of people going who had seen it, with no idea what to expect, including will self himself.
LOL all those wannabes at the fake magazine launch ahahahaa!! desperate!
Georgina Lewis Hey Sexy Girl ☺️
That was funny
Georgina Lewis you ok 😝
'The whole floor just-- the whole floor just whipped me up!'
The interview ones always get me! 😂😂
This is a training video for just about every youtube prankster. Dom Joly was a pioneer. You can see where Remi Gaillard got his ideas from.
I wonder if Ed Bassmaster honed his skill on this too
@@ashtakmetoza5689both remi and ed wish they were as funny cus i can watch dom all day but id get tired of both remi and ed.
I wonder who thought up the "scene in an elevator" bit first, because Remi does the EXACT same thing
Stole them you mean
Slightly different but was Chris Morris before him? Both amazing
GREAT soundtrack! Remember watching this show growing up. Absolutely hilarious
The bagpipe playing is priceless.
Love the music tracks that go with these sketches.
"4 8 foot bastard!" Hahhah!!!
That Travis Perkins skit was originally a deleted scene. It's my all time favourite scene closely followed by the automatic toilet scene.
As funny today as when it was first broadcast 23 years ago. Shear perfection !
The show also had what must be the best soundtrack of any tv show - all 3 seasons. Every song perfectly compliments the scene its playing on.
Quite sad knowing a lot of the older people in the pranks are no longer with us, 20 years does fly
Whatcha mean? What happened to them? Did they go onto do different shows?
I lament the old London, now destroyed
@@annother3350 Yes, the whole place is no longer there, there is just a big flat surface.
@@CellHeart ?!?! Weird statement. Have you wandered around the city? Like around Cannon street perhaps?! They are indeed redeveloping block after massive block, flattening everything which was there before -- often lots of history -- and rebuilding with cold steel and glass structures -- always the same stereotypical version of the future which seems hell bent on removing any fraction of inherent beauty. It's despicable and alienates me as a Londoner.
@@annother3350 Sorry, I thought you were making an anti-multiculturalism comment.
Trigger Happy is one of my top 3 favourite comedy series, together with Faulty Towers and Blackadder.
BASIL
And mine
Trigger happy TV all pranks well thought out and delivered
The Fast show awesome...
Fone jacker ... I'm a mouse a talented mouse
And any prank
Noel Edmunds gotcha's
Ant and deck pranks especially Jeremy Kyle where Dec was a man living as cat
What about the pythons?
@@anda6963 Goes without saying
@@myaselfya1699 Add Ripping Yarns to the list
One of my favorite bits....
"You can't park there!"
(To drivers sitting at a red light)
discovered this through tiktok. wish i watched this sooner. i'm going to split a rib laughing. truly incredible
the dollar store gag had me in stitches
Dom Joly and the mobile phone and the dog beating up the other one are my favourites!
ahh the days of middle school/high school taking or faking a sick days and watching this show. I'm never sick, except today. Took a sick day from work... Back to my old ways. Glad this is on CZcams. Good music as well! " I could tell you stories, that would bend your bones" lmao
It was such a great show. Dom Joly is a genius.
We're burning a Virgin on the heath in 2 week 😂😂😂
I don't know what it was that made this time so special. I can't tell if it was because of who I was and where I was on my life's journey, or if the UK was in fact at a peak. People seemed happier. So much seemed to be iconic, even before we had gotten far enough away from it to justifiably name it so. Born Slippy is a good example. It just somehow summed up that time - but it was immediate, you know? First time you heard it, you knew. And there's so little to it as a track. I don't know. I know this looks like the ramblings of a knobber, but I actually am trying to say something. I had some really happy times in the 90s (without drugs, believe it or not!) and I miss many aspects of life then. My life and the life around me. So much about my situation now is comparably better than it was then, yet I'm still filled with an aching nostalgia when I remember what it felt like. Maybe I'm depressed. Maybe life WAS better then, in general. Maybe this is just what happens as we get older - we fixate on a certain point in time and idealise it. I don't know.
I feel you. I was ten when this came out. But felt like simpler times
My favourite was when Dom Joly asked someone if they were peckish and the guy replied "no I'm Turkish" 🤣🤣🤣
That wasn't Dom Joly
@@londontrada I think you will find it definitely was!!
@@emmylou4522 The video is here - czcams.com/video/6bpJ-QQOG4o/video.html
Who's watching this in 2021? I used to love this show back in the 90's
2022, before the nukes is coming ! :P
God that bit with Self Magazine reminds me SO MUCH of that one episode of Mission Hill where the gang makes a fake club out of a storage closet in an alley and refuse to let anyone in despite the long line
I miss this show
I keep hearing the soundtrack and thinking "oh hey it's that song!" And then I remember I know that song because of this show
The memories!
Loved the big cell phone pranks and the giant rat hahaha
I was fortunate in being in the right place at the right time. In 2002 we had a work meeting of the entire IT department. Someone's Nokia phone went off with the famous ring tone. There was dead silence, so I shouted "HELLO?". Everyone burst out laughing.
Not watched this in years, so so good
awesome you got the original audio tracks as well. WOW this brings back memories.
I’ve been looking for re-runs of this show forever. Thanks for posting.
Love the toilet in the lift prank and the one where he sits on a toilet in a bathroom showroom 😂😂😂
Memories of the 90s lazy stoned Sundays watching this beautiful
Dom the legend is on tour in 2022
Watching this in 2020 I still find it hilarious, the one where he’s teaching the guy the golf swing and his reaction after the third swing with him running had me cracking up!! 😂
This show was special 🙏 thanks for uploading!
I’ve seen a lot of Trigger Happy but I hadn’t ever seen that magazine launch. Fantastic!
I'm surprise he reached 197 lmao
The original and BEST show in this genre.
Oh man the ghost got me
Way ahead of it’s time even now.
Still holds up after all these years.
Exited about it coming back cause I was too young to get it the first time round! The soundtrack is AMAZING lol! 90s !!!!!
Me too, I'm a massive Trigger Happy fan.
It’s early 2000s this was filmed not the 90s.
Trigger happy TV is back as new trigger happy TV! It came back in September! It's on CZcams!
*****THE GREATEST***** TV SHOW IN F--KING HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved watching this, never realised just how good all the music in the show was too. On point! 👌
Still giggled up to this day man! Fkn quality.
I just realized how old I became when I thought "well that baby buggy prank really wasn't necessary"
The ones that cracked me up the most are the ones where he’s a police man walking in the park, then approaches an elderly couple and asks “excuse me, I’ve had reports of two elderly people setting off fireworks in the park and a Catherine wheel”.
Hilarious when you think how it’s making them feel, they would be thinking does this policeman REALLY think we would set off fireworks in the park 😂😂😂😂
And the one where he’s pretending to be an old man taking ages to cross the road, a guy on a motorbike gets off his bike to help him across the road, as soon as he reaches the pavement, he stands bolt up right and marches off 😂😂😂😂
Dom Jolly is a Ledgend - truly original content at its best.
This was awesome. Let’s also spare a moment high fiving the sound track.
love this guy crack me up. He’s hilarious my kind of comedy. So real and confident pranking ppl. I’m assuming he was doing this before CZcams?
Yes it’s like 2000/01
Ok Then you know the kind of era it was if you look at the cars in the background on some of the sketches, all of them are 1980/1990’s cars, ford escort, Nissan sunny, vauxhall vectra etc
Used to watch this every Friday night and smack the pony.
The comedy back then was great
In stitches here. So funny. This was by far some of the comedy on TV
8:58 - It's the epic music that gets me... and the way it cuts too.
Haha that public toilet that sucks him up!
The poem, 5 million. Brilliant!
The burglar bit kills me. Everyone reacts like they caught him red-handed. LMAO!
What a great show with a great soundtrack RIP
Loved Trigger Happy TV when it came out and now I'm watching it again as its so entertaining , 👏 👏 👏
Would be hallarious to see Dom Jolly try some of these skits in SoCal 2020 where people's patience is non-existent
I watched this back in the original run. This show HOLDS UP.
The 90's....
Trigger happy TV
Ali G
Euro Trash and many more. God, we were spoilt lol.
SWAG 😂😂 Where they lock the thief in the back of the truck and drive around.😂😂😂
The poetry group were really patient!
Man I loved this show when it was on.. brings back memories.
great sound track! also have great memories of this show
These days those spy briefcase pranks would probably cause some sort of massive terror alert....
at 18:13 another bunny is just chillin watching the movie. It's the details, for me
The first scene did me😂😂😂 "I'm coming up" lmfao .if you know you know
i absolutely LOVE trigger happy tv!! me and my dad always watch it! 💗
