Impractical Jokers

Remember that. It was great. The presentations are absolutely incredible btw.
 
Only saw this thread - didn't know so many others watch it and enjoy it! (I love it).

In one of the most depressing football nights (morning for me) in recent seasons, I was still able to have a little chuckle because of this:

the funniest moment for Murray is when he gets his mouth injected with Novocaine and has to present a talk about food...fecking hilarious...
 
They're on in Manchester, and I was going to go, but the tickets sold out in about 2 minutes...now they're going for about £120 each on ebay/ticket resale sites...

So if anyone hears of 2 spares for this, let me know...

Ah damn, would love to go.
Didn't realise it was that popular.

I'd like to echo the spare tickets thing.
 
Fairly certain I've watched every Impractical Jokers clip on YouTube now :lol:

That fecking elbow drop in the video I posted above. Gets me every time.
 
This has been a bit of an obsession in our house recently, just the default show to stick on in the background if nothing else is on, is surprisingly funny for an American "reality" comedy show. Tried to get tickets for the UK shows too but it's crazy how popular it seems considering they don't seem that famous.

Also, my girlfriend has a crush on Q (who is a United fan FYI).
 
The new series has now started. I have to be honest, the quality hasn't dropped. The punishment wasn't great but the rest of it was very funny
 
I was gutted I missed out on tickets for the two night stay in the UK this coming weekend. Hopefully they'll do more in the future though.

It's a show to look forward to every week in our house. TV doesn't seem to be offering much good stuff in terms of comedy at the minute so this is a welcome relief each week.

What did everyone think of the UK version that has since been cancelled? I thought it was really good too tbh. Shame it got cancelled.
 
I was lucky enough to get tickets for this and went to see them at the o2 Forum in Kentish Town on Saturday night. They were absolutely brilliant. It has been one of my favourite shows since it started airing over here and I couldn't believe I was in the same room as them! It was like a 4 man stand-up routine but they really got in to the spirit of things (most of the crowd were 'merry' due to the 10pm start time of the late showing!) and they talked about how the show is made and generally took the pi$$ out of each other, there was some great behind the scenes footage and challenges that never got aired as well. Hands down best £33 I ever spent.
Good news for those of you that weren't so lucky, they have announced they are coming back next year and the o2 Arena is part of their plans so they've obviously realised how popular they are over here now.
 
Great show.

Surely some of the pranks have to be scripted though, does anyone know?

The chemistry between the four is brilliant

Supposedly not. Murr did an AMA on Reddit and said as much, but then he would.
I'm sure I remember reading that someone had noticed recurring people in it but don't know how true it is.

Something he did admit, which makes a lot of sense, is that no one actually wins or loses a challenge. They just film loads, then the winner/loser is chosen by the results of whichever shots are the most entertaining.
 
They are back bitches,new season just started and episode one is called "British invasion"
 
They filmed a scene here at Wycombe Wanderers. Missed it though :(
 
New series? I thought they were just having a break in showing the current one. There wasn't as many episodes as normal.
 
Any ideas when that'll be aired in the UK? Noticed that Jokers Wild wasn't on Comedy Central last night.

Going to see these in Manchester in January, can't wait. :D
 
fecking brilliant show :lol:

One of the few TV series' to genuinely make me laugh out loud. The UK version is utter shite though.
 
Recently got into this working my way through it on series 4 atm. Favourite punishment so far is Sal at thre bingo
 
Can't remember the episode, but the punishment where Joe had to stare at people at the gym almost killed me. I've never laughed so hard
 
I love this show. It really works because the 4 of them have great chemistry with each other and aren't afraid of being fools. I think my favourite is Sal, though.

Cringe punishments are the best ones...

"Whose phone is ringing, mine, mine mine"
 
Worst show ever, beyond shite.
 
It's surely fake. Everyone in America knows who these guys are now. The second you see any of them out and about you know exactly what's going on.

They get recognised a lot, you just don't see it in the show. A lot of people question how real the show is but it's actually legit I believe.

One of the Jokers, Joe Gatto, insists to Life & Style that everything you see has to be 100 percent real, or else, it wouldn’t work. “It's definitely authentic,” the 41-year-old explains, “because the show works thanks to that genuine hesitation and fear, dealing with a stranger who doesn't know they're on a hidden camera show. That's the magic of the show.”


That said, as the show has grown more popular and gained fans, he admits it’s been “a little harder to do.” Luckily, they have the advantage of filming in a big city like NYC. “If anyone recognizes us, we just shuffle them along and pick somebody else — there are so many people in the city,” Joe details. “If someone recognizes us, they're not on our show.”

Well, sometimes they will use viewers, but only so they can play around with them. “[Some people have] said that they were fans and we've messed with them on purpose to let the public know that we knew they knew the show,” the reality star shares.

They also don’t always have the option of avoiding these people, and that’s when producers will step in. Joe recounts times where they’ve been talking to someone totally clueless, and a fan shows up and puts their prank at risk. “We have our production team that helps us swoop in and Liam Neeson these people, like [in] Taken — [they] pull them off to the side,” he jokes.

Joe has a final warning for those who think they can pull off going on the show as a fan: You’re not fooling anyone. “They'll walk over and they turn into these robots,” he says of the fakers. “They can't even act human. They're excited and nervous to be on the show — it's easier to sniff them out than people think.”
