The Impractical Jokers

"I know what goes on in the shadows of the cross" - James Murray

The Impractical Jokers are a comedy group that have their own show on TruTV of the same name. The group consists of former firefighter Q, fat male Joe Gatto, comedian Sal Vulcano, and cadaver James Murray. On the show they prank strangers by doing or saying what the other guys tell them or they lose. At the end of each episode, a joker is punished by the other three. He is the "big loser". The concept of a big loser was co-opted by George Costanza, who uses it as an excuse to carry out nuclear attacks, citing how they are "the big loser" and "you can't say no to a punishment. The Jokers are featured in An Impractical Jokers Story (2018) on of the most popular entries in the Cinematic Universe. They also have arcs in George Is Incarcerated By The Impractical Jokers (2018) and Shock And Awe... (2018).
