Being unemployed in the big city can cause some
incredible stress. For example, living day to day not knowing
where your next meal will come from can prove to be a little nerve
racking. Luckily, Comedy Central provides one hour of escape for
me and millions like me on weekday afternoons. Trigger Happy TV
soothes the anguish and misery that is my life, and makes me feel
like I’m a kid again.
If you are unfamiliar with the show, Trigger Happy
TV is basically a ridiculously funny version of Jackass. Now,
don’t get me wrong, Jackass was a funny show, but that was more
about the shock value than actual comedy. Trigger Happy TV is
downright funny. There are still some shocking moments, but they
are all in the name of comedy, not just to be as shocking as possible.
The majority of the skits involve the men and
women of Trigger Happy TV just f**king around with people on the
street or in bars. This may include the occasional impersonation
of a police officer, annoying tourist, or a man dressed up in
a dog or rabbit suit.
Whatever the episode may involve, it is almost
guaranteed to make you laugh-out-loud while you slowly drift into
a state of altered consciousness and forget the pathetic existence
that you are living. Unless, of course, you are happy with your
place in life, in which case, congratulations, you’re probably
employed.
