Impractical Jokers - Season 1 Fixed -

The series stars the comedy troupe The Tenderloins: Unlike traditional prank shows where a host punishes an unsuspecting public, Impractical Jokers flips the script. The joke is always on themselves.

Four lifelong friends from Staten Island—Joe Gatto, Sal Vulcano, Brian "Q" Quinn, and James "Murr" Murray—compete in public, point-blank challenges. One joker goes out into the real world equipped with a hidden earpiece, while the other three sit behind the scenes dictating the absurd, humiliating, and borderline impossible things they have to say and do. If a joker refuses to follow instructions or fails the challenge, they take a loss. The loser with the most defeats at the end of the episode faces a custom-tailored, inescapable punishment. ✨ Why Season 1 Still Shines Impractical Jokers - Season 1
