The Setup- Joe, Sal, Murr, and Q are four high school friends from Staten Island who dare each other to do stupid pranks on an unsuspecting public. It's a lot like the old candid camera but often it is the reaction of the guys to what they have to do that is the funniest part.There are rules laid out before each segment in order to complete the task. Whoever fails at completing the most tasks at the end of each episode is punished by being forced to complete a humiliating stunt.
What I love about it- I love this show! It is the best show on TruTV ( I know not a rousing endorsement) and maybe one of the ten funniest shows on TV. If you like men acting like idiots you can't do better than Impractical Jokers.
Each one of the guys is lovable in their own way. Joe is brash and fearless. Sal trembles and cringes like a schoolchild. Murr starts out strong but usually ends up laughing his way thru each bit. Q is the most reserved of the bunch but can sometimes be the most brazen.
An example of the antics are bits like daring each other to see who can rub their noses on the body of a stranger the most times. They see who can eat the most food off a strangers plate before the person protests. The fact that they know each other so well adds to their glee when watching another joker stumble.
The truth is I can't do this show justice you just have to trust me and tune in.
What I hate about it- The shelf life doesn't seem to long. Either the guys get so famous that they can't surprise people anymore or the bits will start to get old. I hope they can keep it going but for now it's priceless
9 out of 10 Couch Potatoes.- Get your On Demand channel warmed up, grab a case of beer, six friends, and three pizzas and start your marathon. Impractical Jokers may be the next big thing.
