Not a great episode, but Q in the store shaking that guy's hand was amazing.

The way Sal kept reeling that guy back into keeping the handshake going was amazing.

I loved Joe's brazen approach when it came to the handshake, and Sal's gesturing of the "may. I. kiss. your. abs."

The humiliation might've seem a little on the tame side compared to some of those we had earlier in the season but that had to have been the most excruciating half-hour of ___Sal's___ life.

Just watched the last two episodes and I like how they're mixing up the formula a bit. The instant loss and the tournament were really fun. I think the wheel of doom kind of flopped this time but the concept was good. I hope they keep finding ways to make the show fresh so it stays on the air for a good long time.

Another episode of the podcast came out, this one features Q and Joe only. They have a great discussion on some some stuff related to editing of the show, and their thoughts on the show in general.

A great episode, worth checking out.

I told my wife that we HAVE to watch the show Thursday night, otherwise I'll see spoilers on my Facebook feed. It's almost worse then "Walking Dead" being spoiled by all my friends on Facebook if I don't watch it right away.

One of the best episodes. I was in tears during "The place where Ed Koch got the splotch on his crotch".

The housesitter was fantastic as well, it just kept getting better and better with each joker, and Joe inviting the guy to a threeway was amazing.

As for the punishment, that was horrible and amazing in every way.

I had found out from the podcast that Q and Sal were in New Orleans for few days last week and that they were going to have a meet-up in the French Quarter for that week's episode.

The very same day pulled my back. :negative: Perhaps the only time they'd ever be in my neck of the woods and I couldn't see them.

Sal is doing an AMA over on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/16rfoq/hey_im_sal_vulcano_from_trutvs_impractical_jokers/

quote:

Can you explain why on some of the challenges, two of you go head to head as opposed to all four of you being in on the challenge?

Sure. It can be a bunch of reasons. Most likely the "marks", or real people we interact with, refused to be on tv. In that instance you can blur them, but since the show is built around people's reactions, the blur is not ideal. Another reason sometimes is the network didn't ultimately like it. Sometimes we push things further, and it's always a risk we take, bc we are willing to go further than the network sometimes. But we have to maintain a tone to the show, so it's a necessary evil.

I'm recovering from a knee surgery so one of the only things I can do is watch TV... so I happened to stumble upon this show and I'm absolutely hooked. My favorite bits are when they have to read off slides for presentations because most of their improv skills are awful.

I wish they'd stop showing a preview of the punishment early in the show. All the jokers have pretty distinctive body types so you can pretty much instantly tell who's going to lose.

I don't mind it being spoiled who gets punished, since I don't find that to be a big deal at all. Finding out that "Sal gets punished" or "Joe gets punished" doesn't really spoil anything for me because I don't know what happens to result in them being punished or what the punishment really is, which are the important parts.

That was great how they threw some normal questions in to get him to let his guard down. This show could be on 24/7 and I'd never tire of it.:colbert:

The best part about that punishment was how his face lit up when he read off the softball first question only for it to come crashing down as soon as he realized that the box had been tampered with.

I always end up watching the hour of reruns before the new episode just because they never stop being funny. Also, what the hell else am I going to watch?

I was watching old clips of this to tide me over not having an episode this week when I found out that apparently the UK has made their own version of it. The first couple episodes were a little rough, in fact you should probably just skip the web pilots they put out, but it starts to hit its stride as it goes on. The big thing is that it's missing the chemistry that the original has because it seems to just be four comedians they put together for the show.

Oh this week was a repeat, by the way.

Yeah, they mentioned on the podcast that the format was sold to other countries, which is tough to make work when one of the core elements is that they've been close friends for 20+ years: it's just not the kind of thing that transfers over.

That was a good episode, but man we're up to 13 already? Where'd the season go? If it's like last season then we have 3-4 episodes left; I hope, anyway!

It'll be airing again in just over an hour (2am E/P, 1am C/M).

Q's nervous laugh absolutely killed me. :allears: That and his use of metaphors. :v:

Edit: Ah, there we go: there are 2 episodes left!
