Trigger Happy TV

Outrageous antics unleashed on clueless, unsuspecting strangers isn’t necessarily funny. Those same antics combined with plush animal suits? Comedy gold. And so we celebrate the return of Trigger Happy TV and an all-new season of its hidden-camera hoaxes. Give the remote a rest while these clever buggers (it’s OK, they’re British) let loose an assault of mischievous, hit-and-run vignettes stacked one on top of the other in a near-endless parade of riotously awkward situations. Observe how unwitting victims react to violating the “Gay and Lesbian Parking Only” spot, penguins and nuns wrestling in the park, and a Trigger Happy cheerleader dishing out nutritional facts mid-meal. (It’s about time someone cheered for pancreatic cancer.) The gimmicks are unrelenting, each episode crammed with more uneasy confusion than a Jackson family reunion. So catch the embarrassing public horseplay while it’s still fresh—and before they go all Tom Green (i.e., stale, predictable, Canadian).
