'Impractical Jokers'

The best, lesser-known TV show.

"Impractical Jokers" is a television show on TruTV where four lifelong friends compete to embarrass each other in Long Island, New York. They compete by challenging each other to do or say something stupid, embarrassing or inappropriate to a stranger.

If they refuse to do the action, then that person gets a thumbs down. The joker who gets the most thumbs down by the end of the episode gets a punishment. Punishments have included skydiving, throwing chicken at a stranger and even becoming a human piñata. Here are some of the best things about the four jokers who star in the best lesser known TV show, "Impractical Jokers."

Joe Gatto

If "Impractical Jokers" had a team captain, Joe would be it. He is the only joker who will do just about anything for a laugh, no matter the conscience. Once he even stood on top of a moving tram in a superhero costume yelling at people passing by in other teams. Joe is most known for his imaginary character, Larry.

My favorite Larry moment was when Joe kept calling for him to do a price check on asparagus at a supermarket register (he never came). Joe is also the only joker who is married, which is definitely used against him. One challenge required him to find the paid actress in the crowded mall food court and kiss her. However, once he found the actress, the other jokers sent out Joe’s wife. Needless to say, Joe did not kiss the actress and he got a thumbs down.

Sal Vulcano

Sal is the quirkiest joker in the bunch. He is a germophobe and has a strange fear of cats. One of his punishments required him to find his phone that the other jokers hid ... in a landfill. Another memorable punishment was when he had to run through a maze where people in cat costumes jumped out and chased him through the entire maze. He’s also the most likely to laugh while in the middle of a challenge. To prove this, Joe once said “fart noise,” and Sal nearly fell over in laugher.

Brian Quinn (Q)

Q is the most blunt and most relatable joker, however, he still has his quirks. Q is the proud owner of several cats, he loves them so much he even has a cat cam set up at home to check up on them while filming the show. He even took one of his cats to Sal’s house for a punishment because Sal is afraid of felines.

Q is my favorite joker because he embraces playful teasing. The other jokers make fun of Q’s hair and even regularly compare him to a fat Rosie O’Donnell. In one challenge, Q was surprised by the actual Rosie O’Donnell and they pretended they were looking into a reflection of a mirror Lucy and Chaplin style.

James "Murr" Murray

Murr is a confusing character. He seems like he would be an investment broker or an accountant, but he is a comedian. He is also the most put together of the four jokers who enjoys being fit, healthy and well dressed. His most famous lines are, “I have a fool-proof plan,” which most of the time is a false. It seems like he is the joker who has received the most punishments whether it be the human piñata, getting a tattoo of a skydiving ferret and getting his nipples pierced.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
