Meet the Four Friends Who Turned Pranking Obsession into TV Series

The guys of TruTV's "Impractical Jokers" have become cult favorites with their never-ending quest to embarrass each other.

[@5gururaj5]

5:51 the way their headshakes are synced! I can point out 5 other instances where the guys were in total sync! Tells you about their solid friendship and how much they are into each other's mind.

[@korrblank1361]

It would later happen on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

[@SamBlitz]

There Robots!!!!

[@jessdanielle9878]

Joe's just the best, so charismatic and cheery. He makes me smile so much.

[@Princess4fh]

[@Jazzman2476]

[@Princess4fh]

[@CliffJumpingProd]

[@AryaEZAF]

It's still good AF.

[@kayleeschwart9421]

[@ducksnhell]

[@zachperez8937]

Mother Coconuts

[@robweck6822]

I love this show. This show is so hilarious. If i'm in a bad mood, all I have to do is watch this show and it instantly makes me laugh and makes me feel better.

[@Carlsjennifer]

Rob Weck -ME TOO ❤️

[@lyla4]

Everybody is talking about Joe and Sal, but I'm here saying that Murr is my favourite. He's just such a sweet, light hearted person, with the most adorable personality. Seems kind and friendly, AND had to do the hardest challenges and led every single one of them to fame and victory. They wouldn't even be famous without him. He's had to do the scariest, yet still the sweetest.

[@MemeL0rd13]

lyla u called?

[@cvessell]

To be honest, they would be nothing if any one of them quit. They all made each other famous. I agree though that he gets the hardest punishments lol Poor ferret Murr

[@papa6274]

My favorite is Q. He’s just so down to earth that it makes him funny

[@dr.wumbo8552]

Party Pig I agree that if one of them left, the show would die slowly. Like even if they don't get a replacement which would be a lot better than getting a replacement, it's gonna make things more difficult and awkward and a portion of there audience will leave because of that

[@inactiveaccountvl1252]

Hell yeah boi MY FAVORITE IS MURR TOO

[@TheSololobo]

They're like the modern day stooges.

[@UltraAtomic1]

TheSololobo yup pretty much

[@tiffanymonroe18]

TheSololobo Just funnier

[@ricimercury9490]

yeah indoubtedly.

[@toneeh1307]

I agree especially with the 2019 movie they have coming out hope its the first of many.

[@lariwebb]

Where was Q? 😂

[@sumalumadumalumabiyatch4173]

He may have been sick considering he deals with some health issues

[@shannoncatney5202]

Sumaluma Dumaluma Biyatch 41 Like what?

[@dawn.carlisle]

Encephalitis and meningitis but I heard he's already recovered from those.

[@mr.manchess3837]

I was asking myself the same thing.

[@GS-ow5wr]

Getting high

[@eri_nique]

hands down--best show ever!!

[@brokendoll7286]

Where's my man Brian?

[@9rempire892]

“Cranjis, Cranjis McBasketball?”

[@gijijia]

9rEmpire Ms. Mcbasketball?

[@dalestrunk1749]

Jianna P mr and ms. Mcbasketball

[@carolwhite5701]

My son in law turned me on to Impractical Jokers. I'm now addicted and looking into rehab :D I adore them all. Joe is my favorite. I too have no fear, no embarrassment and we are kindred spirits. I like all the guys, I'll keep lookin for when they are coming nearer to me, for a concert :-D

[@Carlsjennifer]

Carol White -THEY’RE THE BEST 😊❤️

[@xmatisse127]

the ferret looks great in a suit haha

[@keithhougasian2093]

I actually like Joe the best, because while doing this show, he has no sense of fear or dignity. He even goes above and beyond embarrassing himself, even not being told to. Take the "Senor Frog" episode for example. And in other episodes, he runs and screams "Larry!", sprint-walking in isles, sneezing on the walls, sitting on people's laps, cursing up a storm, and acts as if he has no frontal-lobe in his brain at all! 😆😆😆

[@cruzpozo5090]

*señor

[@KingCasual1986]

I’m with you buddy! Although I don’t think he hats punished enough as opposed to Murr who gets punished TOO much!

[@hijack69]

Where's my Tony Gunk??

[@hopeygirl8110]

Hi Jack he must've been having some health issues, as you seem like a true fan i believe you know what i am talking about

[@caitlinmckenna6359]

4.07 he's there

[@vigneshsenthilnathan3207]

GUNK OUT!

[@Ilmhmmsm]

@@caitlinmckenna6359 that's from the actual episode not the interview

[@Cmc-lg8ik]

I'm team Q...but if you're having a bad day, watch IJ. If your a PC person...don't! I'm blown away at how much nerve they have, but also humbled when they know in their heart, they shouldn't say what their told. Great team of 4. Greatest show out there! Thanks for making a bad day better guys!!

[@JuiceAddiction]

Each one of them is their own dimension of funny and together they cover 4 dimensions which makes the show so good.

[@markprice998]

Very well Articulated Comment 👍

[@minniemack6526]

[@abbylovesminyoongi_]

[@markprice998]

[@gosulanre6669]

[@cynicaltimber3455]

It's not just the pranks that make the show funny, it's the friendship and chemistry. Like Top Gear was with Clarkson.

[@shaunmarimbire5972]

I pray when I get old, I'll be put in the same Retirement Home with these guys, pranking at 92

[@DeltaAlpha-iw9rv]

[@tobi_versace]

God this show never gets old. They can literally do the same thing every episode and it never gets old

[@mischiefmanaged1726]

best and my favorite tv show ever with the best guys

[@anime4318]

I never knew they made a video about them! I saw these guys in Toronto and they were amazing! Murr is by far my favorite

[@rikiishitoru8885]

This show has only been getting better with every season

[@zachbergland4876]

My boys are movin' on up!!

[@karametzger3635]

this is one of the only Tv shows i'll actually watch

[@lyndarougeau2763]

Sometimes just hearing them laugh or seeing Sal fall down laughing makes me laugh.

[@carterjohnson7117]

I remember watching this with my grandma way back when like 6 years ago. I thought it looked stupid, but it's hilarious. Now besides sports it's the only thing I watch on TV really. I was surprised when I found out a good amount of people I know watch these guys too

[@dreamluvr1600]

i feel so blessed to know about this show, be able to watch clips free on youtube, and most of all be alive in a timeline where it exists. this show is one thing that cheers me up LITERALLY no matter what, its kind of magical. you know how some jokes get old? i swear the concept of this tv show NEVER gets old, its never unfunny or boring or tired, i literally binge on it over and over and never get used to the concept. its so fucking genius. and it wouldnt be the same without these 4 guys. which is why it kills me that joe is leaving. i cant even begin to express how sad that makes me, i LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCHHH

[@amihan99]

why do people still not recognized them?

[@minniemack6526]

amihan99 right

[@cola8575]

what're you talking about a lot of people know them.

[@stephanies.114]

Its New York. That's a BIG city. It is getting to a point now, though that it's more difficult.

[@KAO-lj3oz]

They do, but those obviously don’t make the tv

[@dnyriaforris2404]

I don’t think a lot of people watch tru tv

[@RPD1175]

Love these guys

[@abbymead4732]

[@onetakejake8255]

You can tell they don’t fake their friendships, they have an actual channel they had on yt from before the show started of them all messing around.

[@jennifercarson4757]

I love them 😍 My 8 year old and I can’t wait to see the movie 🍿

[@FNhub]

Exactly! I’d usually pirate a movie that I want to see, but I can’t do that out of my respect for these guys.

[@D1sc0rd-]
