4 Friends Bring Non-Stop Laughs

[tyler-mertens · 10/10 · 16 December 2011]

Impractical Jokers premiered last night with two back-to-back episodes, and it had me laughing non-stop for an hour.

The premise is simple: 4 friends compete in hidden camera prank challenges. Whoever loses the most challenges in each episode must face a humiliation concocted by the other 3 guys. While I initially thought this idea would get old fast, seeing it in action had me in tears from laughing.

The boys' chemistry is delightful, and their ability to improvise their way out of embarrassing situations is impressive. The boys never fail to deliver the goods, and the reactions of those around them are just as funny. Great show, can't wait to see more of it.

Amazing show, MUST WATCH

[Jon_Omega50 · 10/10 · 10 May 2012]

Love the show, I haven't been able to find it on TV in Canada, i have been watching it online...

I love anything and everything comedy. Some of my favourite shows are Curb your Enthusiasm, The League, Big Bang Theory and Tosh.0, the list really does go on. But I must say this show hands down takes the cake.

I have never laughed as hard at something as I do watching this show.

My friend actually had to leave my house after watching a couple of episodes of this show in a row because his abs were hurting him so hard.

I would most certainly recommend this to anybody, my mom is pretty uptight when it comes to foul language in any form as well as dirty humour. Although this show is packed with it (dirty humour that is) she loves this show more then all of us.

I can't imagine this show is on the cutting block, but if it is DON'T DO IT!

I have been watching this show for 2 weeks now and have seen each episode twice, I can't stop getting people into it.

All I can say is this show is a must watch!

Entertaining as hell

[robbiestokes13 · 10/10 · 22 March 2012]

I'm not usually one to fall for a simple laugh. But these four friends remind me so much of the guys I hang out with, I can't get enough. Off the wall, who can make who do the most zany public display of insanity. It cracks me up. These four guys, who really have been friends since grade school it turns out, challenge each other each week to see who is willing to do the most crazy embarrassing thing in public. Usually one of them has an earpiece while the other three friends are feeding them instructions. If the friend with the earpiece doesn't do what they tell him to, he loses that round. At the end of the show, whoever has the most losses, has to do something EXTREMELY embarrassing. I watched the 'best of' where they actually interviewed these guys and that's when I became a real fan, because it started out just the four of them doing this without a camera. Glad they started filming, because it's really funny.

The Funniest New Show in Years

[Gadare · 10/10 · 16 December 2012]

This show is a hilarious combination of real life pranks/dares filmed and prompted by 4 friends with a wonderful sense of humor and camaraderie.

If you ever had a friend that you liked to prank (and who would lay in wait to get even) then you can identify and laugh with these 4 who take the greatest delight in making each other do ridiculous gags on the public. However, it's the stars of the show that get the humiliation rather than the unsuspecting victims a la "Candid Camera".

So, if you want to watch a goofy, goodspirited half hour of belly laughs, check out "Impractical Jokers". It's a winner!

Outrageously Funny

[emelineswanson · 10/10 · 16 September 2013]

I don't know how anyone cannot laugh along with these guys. I always feel like I'm in on the joke. They all have such awesome personalities and it's so funny to see them interact with the public. The reactions are always amusing.

The impromptu style beats anything rehearsed. Pure, natural comedy! Plus it gets me through my workouts. Sometimes I can't help but pause and watch intensely, only to collapse on the floor in laughter. This show is much more fun than your typical sit-com. So glad I came across it.

If you have a sense of humor, you will like this show.

Absolutely Hilarious

[bricebender · 10/10 · 22 April 2012]

I generally hate most of the things on truTV, I'm pretty sure that the majority of the population does but this show is different. It isn't like anything I've ever seen because although it has some "Jackass" aspects to it and some reality TV aspects to it, it is an entirely different show that never gets old. It's what you wish you could be doing with you're buddies rather than going to work, just messing with ordinary people and seeing how far you can take a joke with someone who doesn't know what is going on. It's hilarious and it only takes 15 minutes to get hooked for life. I turned on reruns of this show one day in a fraternity house and within 30 minutes the entire 30 person house was watching and laughing, that is how good this is, everybody who gives it a chance will love it, I guarantee it.

Awesome show

[jclmhabig · 10/10 · 29 April 2012]

I think this show is hilarious!! I have never laughed as hard in my whole life as when I watch this show. Murr is definitely my favorite; he has the most infectious smile I've ever seen..he's just adorable. All 4 of these guys are very talented and what I enjoy most is the fact that their reactions are so genuine and don't seem scripted and fake as so many other shows do. The looks on people's faces are positively priceless!! Sal's reactions are perfect and he seems like someone who is very well-mannered and doesn't want to say or do anything to offend anyone; particularly if it's a pretty girl he's trying to pull one over on. This is a show I will continue to watch as long as it's on the air and my family and friends are big fans of it as well. Keep up the good work guys!!

Funniest show on TV

[shadw24 · 10/10 · 27 December 2012]

If I could give this show more than ten stars I would. I have watched this show from the very first episode and have laughed from beginning to end in every one of them. It is the funniest show I have seen in years. The cast is very likable and pull some great pranks on the people around them. They actually had a meet and greet with their fans in New York City last year. The fans were waiting in lines the stretched out the doors to meet the guys. They shook everyone of their fans hands and took pictures with everyone that came out to meet them. A great show and great group of guys. I have recommended this show to all my friends. Hope this stays on the television for years to come.

Impractical Hilarity

[myronlearn · 8/10 · 18 June 2018]

These four longtime friends are hysterical. They think up clever (usually) stunts and then challenge each other, mostly on the streets of New York, to execute those stunts. Each is rated by the other three as to whether or not his assignment is successfully completed. The one with the most losses by the end of the show then must undergo one last humiliating stunt, again cooked up by his three buddies. It's a 'Candid Camera' with a twist. The hits far outweigh the misses. Unlike most tv comedies, this one produces numerous belly laughs. I once saw them filming in Washington Square Park.

Impractical Jokers: Undoubtedly the Best Show Currently on TruTV

[tylersportsguy · 10/10 · 1 February 2013]

I just started watching this show, and I'll share a little tidbit of how I began to watch Impractical Jokers. When I was watching TruTV, advertisements kept on coming up for this show, and I thought that it looked completely stupid and idiotic. So, one night, I turned it on to see how stupid it was and low and behold, I actually began to like it. I hadn't even watched it for two minutes before I began to chuckle and it stayed that way for the duration of the show. Impractical Jokers is absolutely hilarious! What makes it even more funny is that it seems to be legitimate. With TruTV's programming, most, if not all, of it is fake. Shows like Operation Repo, Hardcore Pawn, Storage Hunters, Lizard Lick Towing, South Beach Tow, etc. all seem to be scripted. Impractical Jokers doesn't have that feel to it, as everything seems genuine -- the pranks, the laughs between the four guys, and everything else. That's what is perhaps the best thing about the show because it's on a channel that airs predominantly scripted shows. Many people seem to think that Impractical Jokers is a reality TV show, but that's definitely not the case. As I said earlier, I thought the show was idiotic at first, but then I began to watch more and more and I have now seen nearly every single episode of theirs.

Another thing that is great about the show is that all four of the guys -- Joe, Murr, Q and Sal -- are very likable. Joe is the guy that never appears to be scared -- on certain pranks that have the three others tell Joe what to say, Joe says it nearly every single time, no matter how embarrassing, awkward, mean or crude it is. Sal, who is perhaps my favorite on the show, seems to be a very genuine guy who doesn't want to make anyone mad and most of the time, loses when the three tell him what to say. Murray, or "Murr" for short, is the part of the group that everyone jokes with -- i.e. calling him names, making fun of his looks, getting him to the more embarrassing things, etc. If it weren't for Murr, this show would be a lot less funny. Q... I really don't know about him (haha). He rarely loses and like Joe, is rarely scared.

DEFINITELY check out this show if you haven't already. Impractical Jokers isn't a show like Jackass, as they primarily had very crude stuff on their show. IJ has primarily fun pranks that is sure to get the people around them to laugh hysterically. It's definitely a barrel of laughs and shows a great amount of camaraderie between the four pranksters.

I would love to see Impractical Jokers come out on DVD in the future because there's no question that I would buy the first season or two as soon as it hits the shelves. There's also no doubt in my mind that this is unquestionably the best show on TruTV's network right now. When perusing through the user reviews, completely disregard the negative comments toward this show -- I was once one of those guys, but I'm definitely not like that now. This show is hilarious, check it out!

Be sure to look out for new episodes of Impractical Jokers -- they come on Thursday night. You won't regret it!

Just spent a day binge watching it, and I ain't mad

[rickfletcher28 · 10/10 · 3 August 2018]

These guys are the best. I've always seen this show playing at bars when I cant hear, but just seeing it always cracked me up. Then today I noticed it was on tru tv all day long, so I decided what the heck, and watched so much of it. Eatch guy has something to bring to the table, bit for a while I thought Joe and Murr were being picked on more than the Sal and Q. Luckily it started getting even and that makes it more fun in my opinion. Great great show!

Hilarious

[kiekeo · 26 June 2018]

I like to watch this with my grandad every time I go to Ireland. He's a pretty cool dude.

Nice but they're running out of ideas

[theirishfox-23402 · 7/10 · 16 June 2021]

It's a nice and funny show. A lot of the antics the guys pull on each other are pretty amusing, and you and definitely see and feel the friendly chemistry they have between them.

Though lately I haven't laughed as much from their episodes as I used to, it seems like they've been going too over the top with the punishments now. Some of the punishments they do now are flat-out painful (in a recent episode Murr had to have a CATHETER put in him) and it's not right. It's like their idea pool is starting to run low, and in my opinion it's beginning to be one of those shows that have gone on too long where it starts out good but ends up a shell of its former self; think of the Simpsons. I don't even see how they can do the show anymore since they're so popular that people recognize them all the time.

Another gripe I have is with Sal, he's so annoying to me. He acts like a big manchild who whines and cries over everything. Everyone disses on Murr but he's far more tolerable to me than Sal.

In summary, funny at times nowadays but not like it used to be. The Jokers are funny guys but the show is starting to get somewhat dry to me.

Bring back Joe.

[alexandrmarki · 5/10 · 19 June 2022]

The show is not the same anymore without the heavies hitter Joe. No more joker va joker challenge. The jokes are more about shock value rather humor at this point. Bring joe back. FatOne will do too.

Hilarious!

[hannah-96687 · 9/10 · 23 October 2015]

Hahaha just thinking about this show makes me laugh.. The show is about four friends daring each other to act and say inappropriate and or funny things to strangers to earn points and the person with the lowest points gets punished at the end of the episode. Joe and Mirr are my favorites, but Q and Sal are super funny too. I've never laughed so hard watching any other TV show nor movie. These guys make me fall to the ground from laughing! They are so smart and clever with the skits. Aside from being so funny, the show is also very believable. I don't get any feeling to indicate that the strangers are acting like I do with some other shows. IJ is a weekly treat. This show is a weekly treat. It's the best comedy on TV, in my opinion. So glad I discovered this this show...going to tell everyone about it.

Wonderful show

[jayme-40890 · 10/10 · 16 February 2018]

Unlike most shows, this show deserves all the air time it can get. Jokes are daring and quite hilarious. 10/10 well deserved jokers!

Funny as hell!!!!

[kylelikescod · 10/10 · 2 September 2016]

I came into IMDb actually not sure what this would get. I was thinking a 5.9 or 6.3 but it was an amazing 8.7/10!

4 friends from college now in their mid life's have created a show that is funny, original, clever and nerve racking. Another thing I love is that the things they do aren't anything to extreme and not life threatening or too silly. And people were very harsh saying it was a complete rip-off of Jackass (it's nothing like it FYI), and also saying things like they force their laughs. It adds to the atmosphere of the show and what people have to remember is that these guys have been friends for 20+ years and are making a fool of themselves in public. If one of my closest friends started dancing around in public I would laugh my bum off.

Overall I think anyone who likes a good laugh and has a good taste at comedy then I 100% recommend this to you.

Humorously Entertaining!

[gwnightscream · 8/10 · 9 March 2018]

This reality TV show features 4 pals from New York, Brian Quinn aka Q, James Murray aka Murr, Joe Gatto and Sal Vulcano who love to perform improvised, practical jokes/gags on each other. They each have 3 challenges to tell someone to do something and vice versa via earpiece/hidden cameras. Anyone with the most losses must participate in an embarassing, challenge whether they want to or not. I started watching this recently and it's humorously entertaining. The guys are very funny (especially Joe) and the stuff they ask or do is outrageous. If you're into laughs & goofiness, definitely check this out.

Damn Right Funny

[coryfoster_24 · 10/10 · 21 December 2012]

This show is hilarious. You should totally disregard any review that is negative about this show, as they are just haters. This show is nothing like boiling points Punk'd or any other show, it's just four dudes that do totally embarrassing/hilarious things with normal people onlooking or involved. This isn't a reality television show, so I don't know why people say it is, everything on this show is real. Which includes the laughs which are not forced. My favorite skits include: well pretty much everything, but I would say my favorite is when they are working at the sub shop. Watch this show you'll pee your pants, but you will be laughing so hard you won't notice.

Come Back Joe

[coreycitn63 · 8/10 · 8 July 2022]

I know that Joe left due to personal problems such as separating from his wife but Impractical Jokers is not the same without him. It is clearly that Joe was the leader and the heart of the group. From the new intro and rotating guests it is falling flat.

Can't...stop....watching

[BruceWayne3 · 10/10 · 27 February 2019]

Seriously one of the best shows ever on tv, so addicting. Every episode is funny, love the cast.

This show cured my depression

[suvechhabose · 9/10 · 4 March 2019]

Four friends, public humiliation,stupid presentations,16+ jokes, each and every episode is awesome.Soundtrack,editing,You ll never get tired of this show.I feel kinda lucky that i found it.

show is great (joe is the best)

[alcooper-34828 · 19 October 2016]

Impractical Jokers, while it may or may not be scripted, is great. I have laughed more while watching this show than almost anything else. The dynamic that the hosts have with each other as well as the embarrassing situations that they have to deal with, create an amazing atmosphere that drags the viewer in. Joe is honestly my favorite of the four friends, but all of them add to the awesome comedic experience of the show.

I recommend this show to so many of my friends and all of them think it's great. Impractical Jokers is good to watch with other people or to watch on my own.

Keep up the good work and i hope it continues to make good content for me to watch.

good but

[Cleoseni · 7/10 · 22 July 2021]

These guys are evil and obnoxious but this show is funny and comforting for some reason so i like it.

Was good at first

[tvmicman-18694 · 1/10 · 1 June 2021]

It's not really a punishment if you know in reality you're safe from danger. Show was great till season 5. Totally fake since. Also the guys egos have gotten out of control. The pandemic dinners were awful. The season after that is awful. The name game and focus groups were great but are totally fake now.
