Before every episode of Impractical Jokers, a warning message is displayed. It says, "Warning. The following program contains scenes of graphic stupidity among four lifelong friends who compete to embarrass each other." This disclaimer is the show in a nutshell. The four friends from Staten Island are Brian Quinn, James Murray, Joe Gatto, and Sal Vulcano. Each show contains 2 or 3 "challenges" that each one of the four must complete. If they fail to complete a challenge they get a thumbs down. Whoever gets the most thumbs down at the end of an episode, must participate in punishment. Punishment is a punishment thought of by the other three guys to embarrass the loser as much as possible. The challenges are not traditional challenges like feats of strength or mental challenges. Challenges usually consist of one guy talking to people, while the other three tell him stuff he must say to the strangers he is talking to. If he refuses to say it, he loses. This show produces laugh after laugh, as you see the guys visibly struggle to not laugh at the things their buddies say to them in the earpiece. The punishments are the best part of the show. Each man agreed that no punishment can be denied, so they must go through with it. These are the most excruciatingly painful moments that the guys go through. Whether it be presenting a gallery of their art, which the other guys created and he has never seen before, to art enthusiasts or Murray and Joe having to get high-fives from strangers or they have to take off a piece of clothing.
Impractical Jokers, in a word, is silly. It is fun for the viewer to see these guys mess with each other. Impractical Jokers is a must-watch show. It is fantastic TV.
