Pull The Trigger

I had just about forgotten how awesome this show was when I stumbled upon the clip above. This wiki entry helps to explain why Trigger Happy TV was so awesome and why it didn't suck like 99% of hidden camera television shows:

"The humour in the programme is derived mainly through observation of the public’s reactions to Joly’s shenanigans. This signalled a departure from the usual hidden camera format, where members of the public are themselves pranked or "stitched-up" by show producers. The comedy is also known for its contrastingly sombre musical soundtrack, which was released commercially."
