Impractical Jokers
For a show that ’s been going for over 200 instalment , Impractical Jokershas stay remarkably coherent — but withImpractical Jokersevery season is dissimilar . Of course , as is often the case with show like this , the lineament can vary wildly . Some segments and instalment are well than others . The reality show follow four prankster who have been friend since attending mellow school day in Staten Island , New York : Joe Gatto , James Murray ( Murr ) , Brian Quinn ( Q ) , and Sal Vulcano . They ’ve turned their hysterical antic into a competition , in which each jokester has to succeed in travel along the rule .
9Season 7
In terms ofImpractical Jokersevery time of year place , season seven had some struggles . The seventh season ran throughout 2018 and curb many episodes far below the show ’s mean military rating . Two of the worst - receive episodes are " Dropping Knowledge " and " Staten Island Holiday Spectacular . " The latter is obviously a Christmas special , with the penalisation seeing Sal feeding chicken to grizzly bears .
The former is a middling episode with a punishment that sees Murr playingAre You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?and lose various item from his apartment . It ’s unfortunate , but it seemed like the fun hold out off betimes in time of year 7 , with the Impractical Jokers ' estimation for pranks go thin and a bonny few bland installments .
8Season 9
When it make out toImpractical Jokers , every time of year features the four titular jokers . That changed whenJoe Gatto announced mid - time of year 9 that he was leave the seriesto focus on his family and personal lifetime . To make up for his absence , Impractical Jokerssaw a muckle of celebrity guest from installment 18 onward , such as Eric Andre , David Cross , and Rob Riggle . While it was entertaining to see the celebrity comedians burst out their improvisational chops , it was sorely clear that the radical was missing something without Gatto .
Punishments , in particular , took a honkytonk in term of quality . What start out as a deeply entertaining gimmick in which a fellow member of the group would have to face up to a major fear or encounter public mortification took on a more forcible focussing , which cheapened the segment . Soon the boys were facingJackass - stylepunishments like Sal having to give a tour with shock absorber collars on his arms and legs . Impractical Jokersseason 9 bear witness that it ’s really only curious when Johnny Knoxville and the rest of the son physically abuse each other , and the intact instalment felt forced after Gatto ’s departure .
7Season 5
Impractical Jokerswas going hard throughout time of year 5 , but in terms ofImpractical Jokersevery season range , it did n’t quite tick out the rest of the competition . There ’s some unsatisfying stuff here , include the lackluster " Nitro Circus Spectacular . " This was yet another disappointing season finale that was theme around Nitro Circus and the X - Games .
It ’s not really in the Jokers ' wheelhouse , and watching them do things like swing around on a harness is n’t really why audience tune in . On the other script , this time of year contains the iconic " Whose Phone is Ringing ? " punishment , which is easily one of the best in the series ' history . However , containing one of the most iconic punishment of the series does n’t make up for a slew of other sequence that fell flat .
6Season 6
In terms ofImpractical Jokers , every season is different , but season 6 order somewhat in the middle of the road for the show . Season 6 aired throughout 2017 and contains a few classic punishment . These include Q presenting his wall painting to the town of Dover , Joe , in one of his topImpractical Jokersmoments , steal autographed baseball game from child , and Sal shushing people in a mall for no reason whatsoever .
However , it also contains the lowly - rated " G.I. Jokers , " the 60 minutes - farsighted time of year finale meant to honour the military personnel . It ’s a uncanny mixture of pre - recorded challenge and a strange penalization regard Q getting his Jeep " put down by a tank . " To be fair , none of theImpractical Jokersspecials are all that cracking . However , " G.I. Jokers " sort of drag down the rest of the time of year , as closing out an installment with one of the worst episode is never a salutary idea .
5Season 1
While it ’s not purely a convention followed by all series , first season of TV show are almost always uncollectible , and a lot of shows contain somewhat shoddy first go - rounds . Shows are still trying to happen their " identity " during these earlier embodiment , and the characters / performing artist need prison term to settle into their roles . However , in terms ofImpractical Jokersevery time of year rank , time of year 1 sits astonishingly gamy .
Laputan Jokerscame out the gate running . It ’s a petty " tame " compared to what the joker are willing to do in late seasons , especially in the punishment department . However , season 1 come across the Jokers at the meridian of their talents and was a right institution to the hysterical world ofImpractical Jokers . It ’s funny , it ’s shocking , and , at the time , it was fabulously unequalled . Unlike many other programs , there ’s merely no going wrong with time of year 1 .
4Season 2
Out ofImpractical Jokersevery season range , time of year 2 seemed to be peakImpractical Jokers . It may seem confuse to see the show peak so early , but , really , it ’s so coherent that even " bad"Impractical Jokersis still great television . There was a detectable melioration between seasons 1 and 2 , with the jokers unforced to take their antic ( and punishments ) to greater altitude .
The show ’s 2nd season is historic , complete with many great challenge and punishments . These include Murr explaining off - color art pieces to a disgusted crowd , Sal loud " watch " smut in a coffee store , Sal running the No Apology Gauntlet , and both Sal and Joe playing in a dire stripe and opening for Imagine Dragons in front of 15,000 the great unwashed . This season was peak frivolity creativity .
3Season 4
Every season has its senior high , but time of year 4 has the most consistent run of hysterical episodes back to back . It ’s potential that the reality prank show was depend upon the waving of the incredible third season , butImpractical Jokersseason 4 was hard to beat . For starters , the season hold back some of the best punishments in the series like Sal judging a kids ' gift show , and Joe as Captain Fatbelly .
However , Impractical Jokersseason 4 ’s most memorable moment comes in episode 6 , " The Blunder Years , " which is one ofImpractical Jokers ' best punishment . The installing sees the crowd convince Murr that he is performing at an amateur body - construction contest , and manage to get him oiled up and into a speedo . wrench out , there is no competition , and he ’s forced to interview his puerility crush Danica McKellar fromThe Wonder Yearsin the get - up , even forced to " show off his muscles " at one point .
2Season 3
Coming in second billet onImpractical Jokersevery time of year ranked is the show ’s third season , which again see the Jokers at the absolute top of their biz . Season 3 contains the oft - maligned Father ’s Day special , which is fans ' least favourite sequence of the time of year . But , aside from that , every episode of time of year 3 is an right-down winner .
Especially " The Permanent Punishment , " an iconic installment that ascertain three of the Jokers welcome embarrassing tattoos . Q have one saying " 38 . living alone . Has 3 cats , " Murr gets a skydiving Mustela nigripes in honour of his memorable punishment , and Sal getsmovie actor Jaden Smith ’s face tattooed on him for seemingly no reason whatsoever . The Jaden Smith tattoo is oft brought up throughout the rest of the show , with Sal being forced to get a second Jaden Smith tattoo in theImpractical Jokersmovie , raise season 3 ’s longevity .

After season 7 made some mistakes , Impractical Jokershad the replication of all return , surprising audiences with the calibre and laughs that time of year 8 bring .

It ’s clear that the joker fuck off their vallecula back going into season 8 , examine fabulously imaginative and original harlequinade , hysterical punishments , and tons of laughs .
The time of year definitively features some ofthe best punishments , but Murrin fussy faces the most ill-treatment . In " The Closer , " he is forced to close random café patrons ' laptops until they tell him to stop . In " Sucks For You , " he sit as scientist Dr. Dexter Scott and must give a speech at a technical school conference , where he alternately inhale He or S hexafluoride at the other joker ’s whims to either compound or make his voice higher at any given time . All in all , season 8 prove thatImpractical Jokersis on telecasting for the long catch if they can get Joe Gatto back .
