This has been driving me crazy for two days. I used to watch this show religiously until they stopped airing it, and now I can't remember what it was called. It was a British hidden-camera skit show that had scenes like:

* A guy is walking around in public with a huge, torso-length cell phone, and when it rings, he screams "hello!," and always does it in quiet places, like libraries and whatnot.

* This guy answers a ringing public phone, and someone asks him to stay on the line because they're having trouble with ravaging squirrels. The guys stays on the line, but then, in the booth next to his, a bunch of man-sized squirrels (people dressed as squirrels) drag a guy out of a phonebooth and attack him

* There were two dogs (people in dog suits) always killing each other in public

Does anyone know what show I'm talking about? For the life of me I can't remember what it was called and I want to buy DVD's of it at some point, but the original british episodes... when that show came to the States it wasn't as funny anymore, imo. Anyway, thanks in advance if anyone knows what I'm talking about

Correct. Started off funny but last series or two were absolute garbage.

Don't even get me started on Balls of steel...

Boo!

YES! Trigger Happy TV! Thank you so much guys, I've been trying to remember this for days now.

The dogs were probably my favorites. I guess it's sadistic but I tend to laugh the hardest when children are frightened or disturbed . Like the bear in the ice cream truck in Borat... stuff like that cracks me up, although I'm not sure if that makes me an evil person or not lol.

Borat wasn't too bad I think, except for the part where borat wrestles the fat guy naked and then the fat guy sits on his face.
