Linda Stasi New York Post Possibly the funniest, most ridiculous show I've seen in years. Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times Once in a while one of the four simply refuses to execute a challenge because it's in such bad taste. Although this results in a forfeit, such displays of occasional integrity keep these four clowns a little bit lovable. Nov 5, 2018 Full Review Brian Lowry Variety Nobody will ever confuse "Impractical Jokers" with 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. Nov 5, 2018 Full Review Anthony Ocasio Screen Rant Nestled in the heart of cable television, TruTV's comedic gem, Impractical Jokers, has been sweeping the world with its hilarity.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review big m honestly perfect in every way Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review john b fantastic show, love it loads Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review matthias s "Impractical Jokers" Season 1 is an uproarious rollercoaster ride of hilarity, delivering gut-busting laughs in every episode. With its unique premise of four lifelong friends challenging each other to outrageous dares in public, this season sets the tone for the series' addictive blend of cringe-worthy comedy and genuine camaraderie. From awkwardly approaching strangers to absurd tasks in crowded locations, the Jokers never fail to entertain with their infectious chemistry and unwavering commitment to absurdity. While some challenges may miss the mark, the majority hit the bullseye, leaving audiences in stitches. Season 1 serves as a promising introduction to the comedic brilliance of Joe, Sal, Q, and Murr, setting the stage for the uproarious antics to come. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Tristan C Hilarious, I can watch it for hours on end. The 'final punishments' can be a little forced and hard to believe though... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Matthew L Better with 3 guys, four seems too many Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
