I agree, and I'd add that there's also a big difference in the level of talent on display. Trigger Happy TV didn't often go out of their way to make people feel uncomfortable as much as to make them genuinely confused about what they were seeing (though there were some unfunny counterexamples, like their "yelling on a giant cellphone" bit). In the examples here, the victims know exactly what they're seeing, which is yet another imitator who thinks being exceptionally rude is the same thing as being funny.
