Video: Trigger Happy's angry cyclist appears on Comic Relief

The video of the cyclists singing "you're in a bike lane" while crossing a busy bridge was funnier and didn't cost license fee payers money.

I'm sure van drivers will sit there laughing as they cement their prejudices even further.

Luckily, I can just watch a different, funnier video clip instead!

I'm half Scottish, half Welsh, chair of the Scientology Society Paul McCartney Fan Club and as soon as I've rinsed the Immac off my legs and genitalia I'm going to pull on my leggings and jolly well cycle over to Mr. Joly's house and pistol-whip him for suggesting I might be angry when all I'm doing is saving the planet and the animals and all the little children, which is more than I can say for him!

Lets all remember. Joly made his money by scaring old people by shouting at them.. you know.. for "comedy". He hasn't done anything new in 20 years.

He ripped the "bike lane!" thing from Portlandia anyway (an actually funny show).

Credit where credit's due, Trigger Happy TV was hysterical, or it least it was when I was 11. 

I see way more angry drivers.

I watched DJ on the celebrity version of Bear Gryll's Island...the man is a total tw@

This 'comedy' was distinctly unfunny, had he acted like that around my way, he'd have received more than a few slaps...and most likely would have had to have colorectal surgery to remove his bike.

...acting like a spong is not comedy...

I think it's either/or: either you're a comedian, and you're doing a funny joke, or you hate people riding bikes, and you want to make a rather nasty point based on a lack of understanding. It doesn't work trying to put the two together.

He's right though, we are touchy. Well, I am.

Dom Joly is NOT a comedian.

His first series, way back when was funny, but he's been doing this for years, it's worn a bit thin.

Just as funny as the Top Gear episode a couple of years ago about cycling, i.e. not funny.  In fact, probably worse.

The irony of him taking the piss of people doing something for charity. When he was doing something for charity..... Or was there no irony....or was he taking the piss out of comic relief whilst making a video... Or was he taking the piss put of himself doing a video for comic relief..... I'm pretty confused!

They are angry and, what’s even worse, unbelievably self-righteous

Maybe the regular threat of physical and verbal assault that cyclists experience would foster that kind attitude as a self defence mechanism?

One thing I've noticed about a lot of modern comedians is that if the joke doesn't work it must be the recipients fault not the comedians. 'nuff said.
