Trigger was one of those unique characters who made you smile before he even opened his mouth. Probably because you knew full well that you would find whatever he came out with hilariously funny. Roger Lloyd-Pack's interpretation of how Trigger should behave was an example of comedy genius.
One of my favourite trigger moments is when he's talking about his brush, and he says he's had the same brush for many years - it's had 3 new heads and 2 new handles!
I couldn't put a position on what comedy was the best, there all at the same level, top quality, yes minister, yes prime minister, one foot in the grave, ab fab, faulty towers, little Britain, the royal family, gimme gimme gimme, poridge, rising damp, black adder, red dwarf, keeping up appearances, and I'm sure I've missed a few, but ofah did make me laugh when my life was low, thanks
that is his brilliant acting to look like that. he pulls it of so smooth you think he is getting winded up but he's not. it's like trigger playing dumb and thick. that takes a very talented actor to pull that off. look at trigg in the vicar of dibley. another priceless profformer. goes up with the great one off a kind Ronnie barker comedian actor singer.
Hard to imagine "Trigger" being such a fine actor. I mean, he's done Shakespeare and all sort of serious acting roles but Trigger..... absolutely brilliant. There can never be another. Thanks Roger, 😊😊😊
I saw an interview once with David Jason paying tribute to the guy who played Trigger, with every other actor playing similar characters, he said he could look into their eyes and see a little bit of the actor there, with Trigger, he couldn't see a thing, the guy was well and truly in character
@@ElvarMasson I'm sure the actress who played Raquel said Roger Lloyd Pack would never break character and the cast tried to make him and he could easily make them break character but they never could
How utterly brilliant were this cast of actors and with John Sullivan writing???... Absolute brilliance!!!.. Not a line wasted!!!... Genius!!! and trigger!!!..😂😂😊😊
I think you just praise this show and make it seem so much better than it really was just out of respect for it. If anything the show was pretty simple and laugh tracks put on which has been proven to make someone else watching the show laugh as a reaction. So even if something isn't really funny but you put a laugh track over it and very often you will laugh too.
I'm from the U.S., so I've never seen these guys till the other day. This is comedy gold. As funny as Larry David, or Seinfeld. Lol funny every time. Some of the best writing, and comedic acting in t.v. history. Now that I'm hooked, I cant stop watching, and laughing. Too funny these guys. Brilliant, lol.
i watched some episode's with an american sister in law from Louisiana.She didnt find it funny.Unbelevible!I highly dislike all those american sitcoms,complete garbage.The american sense of humour is absolutely alein to the Brits and vice versa,it seems.The only thing in comedy you guys have close to this is The Simpsons.
This is simply not true. As an English man I have to say some American sitcoms are fantastic and some UK sitcoms are utter rubbish! And there are American comics who are fabulous.
You need to watch Miami Twice, one of Del Boy and Rodney’s hilarious holidays. As the name suggests they venture over to Florida, and run into a mafia family.
minaskimbles I love British comedy. I'm sorry you dont find our comedy funny, but I respect your opinion. All I have to say is, what about, Mash, Married with children, Cheers, Friends, Larry David's Curb your Enthusiasm, Mad T.V. First two years of Saturday Night Live, Living In Color, The Dave Chappelle show. Your saying none of these deserve any credit? Your doing exactly what your sister in law is doing. Which I highly disagree with her. So, if I invited you to my house, and watched one of the aforementioned, you would be just like her? Kinda of hypocritical, right? Respectively saying.
I remember watching this episode when it first aired on the TV and I would recite the scene poorly to my friends, and piss myself telling the karaoke version line... This is an all time great comedic scene. The timing (especially), the setups, the punchline and the faces.. Epic stuff.
Trigger was a one of a kind character. Del and Rodney were clearly great. But Trigger and the way Roger Lloyd Pack played him elevated them and Only Fools and Horses to another level. The best ever comedy character and sadly missed
I used to watch this with my dad when I was a kid, and Trigger was one of my favourites characters, I couldn't believe it when he passed away. He was an amazing actor
Phoebe It's always part of the enjoyment, and of the happy memory of it, to watch with family. This was one of my dad's favorite shows, and I loved laughing with him.
I just love the mannerisms that Roger gave trigger giving the character reality God rest his soul and the other cast members we lost along the way ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
Also notice the way Rodney looks around having put his Mozart on as if to say Look at me i’m very intelligent! Brilliant acting. And the long wait before Trigger says You put some music on then Dave. Nick Lyndhurst may have been thinking Come on then Roger deliver your line but His ( Roger) comic timing was brilliant!
I came to this country ad an immigrant 20 years ago, I spoke a little English and came across a dvd of Only fools and horses, couldn't stop watching it since that day. now I speak like bloke from Pickham hhhhhhh
Roger you were an absolute legend. Bar Del and Rodney you got the most laughs without question. Trigger was one of the funniest characters ever. (You were awesome as Owen in Vicar of DIbley) Thank you for the laughs Roger, you’re a legend. RIP.
Best part is that Trigger remembered exactly that is was Mozarts 83 symphony in D major and everybody thinks , "WOW Trigger remembered t..." .It's the karaoke version.😂
When I was in my last year in school in Scotland, I used to watch this whenever in was on and looking back it's like seeing relations one hasn't seen for a long time. I have such affection for all these characters /actors Iain w in glasgow x
Everything about this Sketch is perfection.. Trigger stretching his arms on entrance Alright dave The passive aggressive reply to Rodney about getting a lift The perfect timing and facial expressions before asking the music on line I could go on... Perfection.
Rodney:" You have to walk past the pub to get to this flat" Trigger:" Yeah, but Del said he'd give me a lift".... Classic and beautiful acting from Roger Lloyd Pack.... I love Trig.
Doesn't matter how many times I watch these,and knowing full well what lines are coming,I never grow tied of them.Would love to have a pint at the Nags Head with these characters.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. A fine actor. I can only echo words already written below, and that is: R.I.P. Roger. You are already sadly missed by many no doubt.
Brilliant script writer and an equally brillant actor too. Both were made for each other. Sad 'Trigger' has passed away but he will always be remembered as an excellent 'deadpan' actor. R.I.P.........
Notice that in Roger Lloyd-Pack’s delivery, he never played it for laughs or over the top. He played it completely deadpan every time, and thank god for that
That punchline was absolutely perfection l. We thought the joke would be only Trigger getting the name completely right. But then hits us with a might gut punch with the karaoke version 😂. Simply brilliantly written and perfectly executed.
This never gets old .... never stop laughing at it .... and will never be bettered by any of the tripe dished out today.....God bless all the actors of fools and horses passed and present.
That catchphrase "alright Dave" will never ever stop being funny. It's a genius piece of comedy.
Mike West the funny thing is, I actually know somebody called Dave and I saw him this morning. I nearly walked over to him and said "alright Dave?"
Michaela Coulthard 😂😂
I used to know someone called Dave & it wound him up when i called him Rodney
neilswann80 if its a boy there gonna name it after me oh yeah who after 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My boss is called Rodney i call him Dave.Now everyone calls him the same even his missus.
Karaoke version...what a punch line...just picking myself up from the floor.Beautiful.
I watched this a100 times and still can't stop laughing
You see David Jason break character. Roger Lloyd Pack must have ad libed.
I've heard every version of Mozart's symphony number 38 in D major, and the karaoke version is the best.
Too funny trigger is the greatest ever!!!!!
Alrite calm.down it weren't that funny

Neil from the Inbetweeners is basically a younger version of trigger
"In fact you have to walk past the pub to get to here" 😂😂😂
In fact you have to walk past the pub to get to this flat 🤣
Bloody brilliant who watches this still in 2019
Alright...
Comedy of the highest calibre
Yeah but Del said he’d give me a lift!
Yeah but Del said he’d give me a lift! Ha
Never ever beat this kind of comedy again , it was pure genius
Ha you hav to walk past the pub
Best program in the history of television.
EL MAGNIFICO Definitely a top 10 of all time. No wonder it lasted so long.
100%
Hell yeah 💯 . I was bought up on this absolutely timeless
This is the best comedy and then for me Married with children.

I love how Rodney gets so wound up by trigger and trigger isn't even intending to wind him up lol
Mostly because he keeps calling Rodney "Dave"....priceless
superdave31 lol
Or is he
that is his brilliant acting to look like that. he pulls it of so smooth you think he is getting winded up but he's not. it's like trigger playing dumb and thick. that takes a very talented actor to pull that off. look at trigg in the vicar of dibley. another priceless profformer. goes up with the great one off a kind Ronnie barker comedian actor singer.
I know 😂😂😂
R.I.P Roger, brilliant actor! One of a kind.
The man had immaculate timing.
nitramyar - Indeed my friend :)
R.I.P Roger....Legend 👼🏽❤️
He was a thespian. Brilliant in all he did Vicar Of Dibley he was fantastic in that also.
He never broke character in Only Fools.
Trigg, sadly mised comedy great, with absolutely impeccable timing, R.I.P. mate, you were one of the best deadpan comics of our time!
Now he's one of the best " dead " comics of our time!
snerper i
Clive Bindley That's was terrible.
RIP Trig
Trigger stole the show whenever he was on screen. Perfect comic timing every time. RLP is sadly missed.
Hard to imagine "Trigger" being such a fine actor. I mean, he's done Shakespeare and all sort of serious acting roles but Trigger..... absolutely brilliant. There can never be another. Thanks Roger, 😊😊😊
I even know what is coming and it still has me in stitches. Comedy of the highest order.
It's truly timeless 😊
Trigger's finest scene. The timing is perfect, and how he kept a straight face is beyond me!!
We don't know how many takes they needed to get it right
Comedy at its best 😂

Are there no words to this dave?!
TheConorsmithusa Hahaha.
No, its the karaoke version.
I love the way Trigger stretches when he enters the room. It’s cool. 😎
I never noticed it before but in the poker episode he does exactly the same when he enters the flat to play
@@lexdavies3656well spotted!!
“Will you hurry up, I’ll have to have another shave in a minute”
Every man just knows that feeling 😂
Roger Lloyd Pack's comic timing is absolutely razor sharp
He was an amazing actor nothing like his character in only fools and horse he was a very smart man
Sure
How utterly brilliant were this cast of actors and with John Sullivan writing???... Absolute brilliance!!!.. Not a line wasted!!!... Genius!!! and trigger!!!..😂😂😊😊

"Awright Dave?" Two of the best words John Sullivan ever got Trigger to utter.
My name is Rodney

I cry with laughter every time he says that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Classic British show. All the characters were fantastic. Fools and Horses Rocked.
antt there no word's to this DAVE. 😂😂😂😂 you were one of a kind TRIGGER. up with the brilliant RONNIE BARKER . Legends.

Best part of this scene
Karakter version ,sympmphonie in de majer ,them 3 the bessttt

@@gavrosh00 Nice reply. Good on you mate! :)
Beautifully written,brilliantly performed with perfect comic timing... doesn't get any better.
The gap was just long enough to make you think that Trig had learnt something.
Its comic Gold. If you dont laugh at this, then you have no sense of humor.
Fools and horses one of the best. In fact the best comedy ever. Never be beaten and also R.I.P all actors who have died.
Roger you were an absolute legend. Bar Del and Rodney you got the most laughs without question. Trigger was one of the funniest characters ever. (You were awesome as Owen in Vicar of DIbley) Thank you for the laughs Roger, you’re a legend. RIP.
Total Classic. One of dozens of classics from this show and from Trigger. RIP mate. Sadly missed.
Best part is that Trigger remembered exactly that is was Mozarts 83 symphony in D major and everybody thinks , "WOW Trigger remembered t..." .It's the karaoke version.😂
Somewhat ironically, you didn't...it's #38, not 83.
Yeah I know, 2 years too late and no one cares anyway.
That’s what genius sounds and looks like.
I've seen this clip so many times over the years and it still cracks me up every time.
Quite simply the best comedy programme ever made.

I love how nonchalant Rodney sounds when he tells Trigger “In fact you have to walk past the pub to get to this flat.” 😂😂😂
When I began watching Only Fools and Horses with my British fiance, I laughed out loud and til now when I wanna laugh, I watch again and again.😂
Karaoke version comment is so hillarious
Ik it kills me every time
It’s the “….and we’re back” moment
The art of conversation by Trigger
The best series EVER !
Mozart's Symphony No 38 in D Major. Delightful.
Its the karaoke version
Did you sing the words to it?
I’ve seen this so many times but I still have to come back to it every now and then. Classic.
Oh how I wish they made them like this still. It was a perfect combination of a genius and brilliant writer, and incredible actors
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. A fine actor. I can only echo words already written below, and that is: R.I.P. Roger. You are already sadly missed by many no doubt.
What genius 😂. I've just nearly chocked laughing 🤣
Always enjoyable to watch except the sad loss of Trigg who played the part so well. You are so missed Roger
It never gets old! Brilliant comedy
Not even David Jason could hide that little smile after the punchline lol
Priceless and timeless,they’ll still be laughing at this in a thousand years.
Absolutely great, the timing is perfect Trigger one of the best, sadly as many comics left us far to early R.I.P
His way of delivering is priceless. I'm rewatching this show for the 10th time and it still makes me laugh
Absolutely brilliant, fabulous 👍
*Aint they no words to this Dave?*
