Impractical Jokers'eleventh season premiered on July 11, 2024.[3]That season features a rotating group of guest comedians instead of Gatto, who left the show halfway throughseason 9.[4][5][6][7]Afeature-length filmwas theatrically released on February 21, 2020.[8][9]

Overview

edit

A typical episode is a series of competitive games of dares in which each cast member, or "joker", receives either a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" for his performance. At the end of the episode, the joker who has received the most "thumbs downs" is declared the "big loser" of the episode and must undergo a "punishment," usually involving public embarrassment. If there is a tie for the most "thumbs downs" between jokers, the tying jokers are all "punished." The games are contrived scenarios in which one joker is challenged to embarrass himself by engaging with unwitting members of the general public, receiving commands from the other jokers who are orchestrating and surveying the bizarre scenario from behind the scenes with covert surveillance equipment. The most common premise is that a joker will immediately lose a challenge if he refuses to follow any instructions given by the other three. Some games involve all four jokers competing at once to be the first to reach a stated goal.

The intro describes the show as "scenes of graphic stupidity among (four) lifelong friends who compete to embarrass each other". The games are loosely structured, relying heavily upon improvisation. The show's comedic themes range from witty dialogue to slapstick routines, with the reactions of both the jokers and the members of the public serving as punchlines.

Development

edit
Intertitle from Season 3 to the first half of Season 9. From left to right: Q, Murr, Sal, and Joe.

Joe Gatto, James "Murr" Murray, Brian "Q" Quinn, and Sal Vulcano are four friends and former classmates fromMonsignor Farrell High SchoolinStaten Island,New York.Gatto, Murray and Vulcano were original members of the live improv and sketch comedy troupethe Tenderloinsin 1999. They transitioned to producing more comedy material on the internet, with Quinn replacing former Tenderloin Mike Boccio in 2006.[10]In 2007, the Tenderloins won the $100,000 grand prize inNBC'sIt's Your Showcompetition.

In 2008, they filmed a pilot episode for a scripted sitcom forSpike TV,but the show did not go to series. TruTV announcedImpractical Jokers,originally slated to be namedMission: Uncomfortable,on April 12, 2011, eight months before the show's debut. Murray explained how thehidden cameraformat made sense based on the jokesters' skills. "We needed to find the right format... thing is, we've been doing this for years, but when it's on camera, the embarrassment is amplified."[11]Vulcano said "We wanted to utilize our improv strengths… put ourselves into a situation where we know we can be funny and also ourselves. If we’re ourselves and also showcase our friendship, something might resonate there."[12]The concept of feeding each other lines using an earpiece was inspired from talk show hostDavid Lettermanfeeding neighboring storeownerRupert Jeelines onLate Show with David Letterman.[12]Quinn and Vulcano have said when they gave their pilot episode toTruTV,it was recorded on theiriPhones.At the time that they pitched the idea to TruTV, Murray was VP of Development forNorthSouth Productions,the company that has produced the series since its inception. Murray describes the show as an "upside-down hidden-camera show where the joke is on us, instead of the public. So it takes away the thing people hate about hidden-camera shows, which is, 'Oh, I feel bad for the people getting pranked.' We're messing with each other. The public is just there to witness our embarrassment."[13]

On December 31, 2021, Joe Gatto announced on his Instagram that he would be leavingImpractical Jokersafter nine seasons.[14][15]Shortly thereafter, Quinn, on behalf of Murray and Vulcano, sent well wishes for Gatto and announced thatImpractical Jokerswould continue working despite Gatto's absence in 2022.[16]Subsequently,Pastereported that TruTV andHBO Maxhad removed "several episodes featuring Gatto in compromising situations" from their platforms.[17]On February 14, 2022, the show announced that the season would proceed with a lineup of various celebrity guests.[4]

Challenge format

edit

Prior to every challenge, the Jokers explain where they are and what the challenge is. Often (but not always) the cast member(s) performing the prank wears anearpiece,while the others have a mic in a covert location.Cameras are hiddennear the area to capture the action. The challenge location is usually a public area in or aroundNew York Citysuch as a city park, or store. The criteria of each challenge are the same for each of the Jokers competing in the round. If the Joker cannot or refuses to complete their task, they get a thumbs-down. At the end of the episode, the Joker(s) with the most thumbs down receives a punishment. The punishments cannot be refused, lest they be kicked off the show.[13]

Critical reception

edit

Impractical Jokershas been well received by most critics, with Linda Stasi of theNew York Postcalling it "possibly the funniest, most ridiculous show I've seen in years".[39]

While it has been compared to earlier hit prank shows such asCandid CameraandJackass,critics have offered praise for its unique twist on the genre, wherein the stars' reactions to the pranks are often equally as humorous as those of the innocent bystanders. Neil Genzlinger ofThe New York Timesstated that "the gag pays off twice: once in the reaction of the unsuspecting passer-by, once in the discomfort of the fellow doing the asking". He later wrote that the cast-members' occasional integrity "[kept] these four clowns a little bit lovable".[40]Dean Robbins ofThe Daily Pageechoed this sentiment, stating that "the friends are jovial rather than Jackass-obnoxious, even rejecting some dares as too offensive".[41]

The series has been generally well received, garnering 1.5 million viewers during its December 15, 2011, premiere.[42]

The review of the show byVariety'sBrian Lowry was less positive, ending with this statement: "Nobody will ever confuseImpractical Jokerswith high art, certainly, but as low-brow, micro-cost comedy in the context of truTV's programming resources, it's actually quite practical—and occasionally funny ".[43]

On February 6, 2023, the borough ofStaten Islandofficially declared the first Monday of every February "Impractical Jokers Day" in honor of the tenth season of the show.[44]
