Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} ''[[Trigger Happy TV]]'' is a hidden camera/sketch show starring Dom Joly. It ran between 2000 and 2001 with a total of [[British Brevity\|15 episodes]] and opening theme is a segment from "Connection" by ''Elastica''. Line 16: * The Annoying Phone Call: The Show's most famous sketch, Dom while in a quiet location will pull out a massive phone and shout into it. Famous? <big>'''NAH, THIS SKETCH IS SHIT! NAW, IT'S RUBBISH! OKAY! YEAH, CIAO!'''</big> In the American version aired on [[Comedy Central]], these [[Once an Episode\|opened each episode]]. * The Rabbits: Two people dressed in full-body rabbit costumes, going at it with vigor in public. The crowning moment for this sketch was when an elevator door opened to reveal this to three waiting people. None boarded. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== Contains examples of the following tropes: ===~~ * [[Blah Blah Blah]]: Dom Joly recites a poem that consists entirely of this through a bullhorn, and is applauded. * [[Briefcase Full of Money]] Line 23 ⟶ 24: * [[Chekhov's Ashes]]: Purposefully scattered so they'd drift over a nearby family. * [[Drives Like Crazy]]: In one sketch, Dom (dressed in a full auto-racer anti-fire suit and helmet) comes screaming up to a line at a cab stand in a heavily beaten car. "FASTEST CAB IN LONDON!!!" * [[Everything's Better ~~With~~with Penguins]]: A number of sketches involve a suicidal man in a full-body penguin costume botching his death. In one example, he laid down on a train track... and then a train passed on the ''opposite'' track. * [[Feathered Fiend]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UftFQzkMqCM&feature=related When Pigeons Attack] * [[Furry Fandom]]: One of the more obscure sketches has an old man walking down an alleyway for about ten seconds...before a hoard of Fursuiters comes rushing at him, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCrDgm_H678 yelling and screaming and waving picket signs].
