On a flight from London to Vancouver on British Airways in 2001, I saw some episodes of the most hillarious comedy show I have ever seen. Unfortunately my shoddy memory prevents me from recalling what it was called and I can't find it anywhere. I'm hoping there are some brits here who can identify it based on my description:
It's a stunt comedy show where the host (dude with dark hair and a nasty disposition) puts random people in weird situations like these:
A man is feeding pidgeons at a town square next to a sign that says something along the lines of "Don't feed the pidgeons, they grow abnormally large". after a few seconds, a man-sized pidgeon runs into frame and knocks the guy over.
Similarly people are feeding squirrels on a forest path next to a sign saying the same thing. Then suddenly two man-sized squirrels come out of the forest and knock a bicyclist over.
A man dressed as a cop approaches two elderly ladies in a park and starts questioning them about a rabid mass murderer who looks exactly like one of the women.
A man walks into a real estate office to ask questions. Seconds later, the receptionist gets a phone call from a mental institution describing a mad rapist and mass murderer who has just escaped. the description fits the guy that just entered to a T. They tell the real estate agents to keep the guy in the room until help arrives.
These are all kind of hidden camera type shots.
I thought the show was called "The Smoking Gun" or "The Loaded Gun" or something like this but that's not the name.
Do these descriptions ring a bell for anyone? I'd love to find out what it's called and if there are episodes on the web or on DVD or something.
