Even if the concept of "echt fett" may not really be original and rather was ripped-off from the likes of "Trigger Happy TV" or even the German "Comedystreet", it is a great show on its own.
Why I hear you ask? Well, because they picked up the concept and consequently took it to another level in my opinion.
You get the usual Trigger Happy TV stuff like the actors of the show running through the streets of Vienna (instead of London) doing funny stuff like fake chases with the intentionally inappropriate music in the background. But the best part by far surely are all the hilarious pranks they play on innocent random people, which they do in such a great manner - especially Robert Palfrader seems to be a master of his trade.
And the good thing about this show is, in contrary to most of the other stuff on Austrian TV, this should be fairly easy accessible for anyone who speaks at least some basic German. (Or anyone, if there is an English version, which i haven't heard of.)
