Amazon.co.uk Review

Prankster Dom Joly adds a marvellously surreal edge to the hidden camera show in this, his second collection of highlights from Trigger Happy TV, all of which are once again set to a great soundtrack of downbeat anthems. Joly not only waylays unsuspecting members of the public and minor celebrities, he subjects them to any number of odd or downright bizarre scenarios. Among many other gems here we have the millionth customer at the sex shop, the MI6 recruiting officer whose potential recruitee is frighteningly willing to become an assassin, the infuriating traffic warden ("You can't park here"), the workmen who eat and sleep in the middle of the street, the cultured punk, the obvious burglar, the park warden who eats all the birds, and the ice cream man who is incapable of serving anything. Best of all, perhaps, are the creature features: the snail literally crawling across the zebra crossing, the vain gorilla-gram, not to mention sundry sadistic squirrels, dangerous dogs and randy rabbits. Oh yes, and there's still that guy with the huge mobile phone, though it must be increasingly hard for Joly to find anyone who doesn't know this character by now. Trigger Happy TV gamely exploits the British public's unwillingness to confront strangers, but it also hearteningly demonstrates their innate politeness when placed in awkward situations. In how many other countries could he approach people in the street to insult and bemuse them without running a serious risk of assault?

On the DVD: The disc has an excellent, irreverent commentary from Joly and producer Sam Cadman, who talk about the difficulties of filming, chat to people on their mobile phones and munch snacks from the Abbey Road studio canteen. There's also the excruciating stand-up routine Joly did pseudonymously at The Comedy Store, which if nothing else proves he's got no shame at all. --Mark Walker

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely brilliant!!! More of the same!, 18 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Trigger Happy TV - Best Of Series 2 [VHS] [2000] (VHS Tape)
After having bought and watched the best of the first series video repeatedly i wondered if the 'best of the second series' video would be as eyecatchingly original, or whether the gags would indeed have become old and the ideas stagnant.. Not a chance!!! All i can say is that Dom Joli still has that edge and this video is a must buy for anyone that liked the first series, or is just in need of cheering up. Definately a must have!!

5.0 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS , Don't miss out on this one, 11 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This is quite simply hilarious. More of the same from Dom Jolly but even funnier. After you've finished watching it you get to see it again with Dom's commentary which in itself is worth the price of the DVD alone. Favourite sketches include the squirrel gang,"one millionth customer" gags and the copulating rabbits. The funniest DVD yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sequel for one of the best comedy series ever!, 21 Nov 2001
If you watched the first series of Trigger Happy TV and liked it, you're going to love this one as well.
With new characters and many improved ones, this is by far a great collection of the best sketches from the second season of this great series. Dom Joly is in superb form as ever, plus he included his "performance" at the Comedy Store as an extra.
If you like the type of comedy Monty Python did and Gary Larson's The Far Side cartoons, you will sure going to love this one.
If you've seen the series you won't be disappointed and you'll keep laughing away every time you see it again.
Also, I just think Dom Joly has the best musical taste in TV at the moment.

Have fun with this, join a group of friends and laugh your head off for 104 minutes. Excellent stuff!
