Impractical Jokers is known for cringe-worthy and hilarious punishments, but this hidden camera show featuring the jokers, Q, Sal, Mur, and Joe, have brought fans to a whole new level of awkward in season 8. The jokers compete against each other in awkward social experiments and public pranks, but the catch is that the joker who won't do or say what the others tell them to is the big loser of the episode. The loser is forced to partake in a punishment that is tailored to their fears and weaknesses, making it particularly miserable for the loser and sidesplittingly entertaining for the audience.
