Trigger Happy: Difference between revisions

* The Heavy from ''[[Team Fortress 2]]''.

** ''Any'' of the classes can be trigger happy, depending on the player. The Pyro especially has gained the derisive [[Fan Nickname]] of "[[Leeroy Jenkins|W+M1]]" (the default commands to run and fire one's primary weapon, respectively).

* Both [[Jak and Daxter]] follow this trope, though Jak uses the [[BFG]] more often.

* In ''[[Dead Rising]]'', Cletus Samson and both Roger Hall and his son Jack have a policy of shoot first ask questions later in dealing with humans that they seem to enjoy. Perhaps somewhat understandable as the zombie outbreak did turn a number of human survivors homicidally insane. Then again, that they take it to an extreme that makes them obviously Trigger Happy is what makes them among those humans themselves.

* Minor Decepticon [[Meaningful Name|Triggerhappy]] in ''[[Transformers Generation 1]]'' lives up to his name. Apparently while goofing around at the military academy he accidentally vaporized his entire squad of trainees and his instructor. This earned him an immediate graduation and field promotion. However, some theorize that his crazed affection for heavy automatic weaponry isn't due to pride at this defining moment, but because he happened to bump his head pretty bad in said accident.

* [[The Simpsons]] - [[Bumbling Dad|Homer Simpson]] became this [[Compressed Vice|for one episode]], where he buys a gun to protect the family following a series of riots in Springfield. However, he quickly becomes ludicrously irresponsible with the gun (using it to change the channel and open a beer, among other feats), which drives Marge and the kids away. He goes to the local NRA for support, but they're just as appalled by him as Marge was and kick him out of the organization. The whole episode serves to deliver [[An Aesop]] about responsible gun usage.
