The show catered to a huge fanbase, this time not just limited to the United States, as the prank show went on to become the #1 show on Comedy Central in the United Kingdom and India.

Impractical Jokers Compete to Embarrass Each Other

Impractical Jokers is built around the premise of four lifelong friends competing to embarrass each other with tasks designed by the troupe themselves. By the end of every episode, the Joker who fails to complete the tasks assigned is subjected to a grand punishment.

When expressed in words, it sounds cruel—well, mostly because it actually is—but watching Joe and his pals enact the bizarre tasks is through and through hilarious.

Impractical Jokers is also not limited to TV either. Joe and the gang have steadily been touring for the last seven years, performing for over one million fans in the US and UK, including six sold-out nights at Radio City Music Hall, a sold-out Madison Square Garden, and six sold-out shows at London’s O2 Arena.

In addition to the massively popular reality show, The Tenderloins also star in a reality game show called The Misery Index.
