Talk:Impractical Jokers

Spoilers
Isn't it a bit of a spoiler to add the losing Joker to the end of the episodes? It's a bit like adding "guilty" or "innocent" to a list of law and order episodes. User:torourkeus}torourkeus — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.238.90.247 (talk) 11:40, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Knowing who is the eventual loser in the episode does not really spoil it, it's only a small part of the show. The fact that it could be considered a spoiler shouldn't have any weight on whether it should be included in the article or not as WP:SW. NachoDuck (talk) 11:36, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Notability
Why question notability? The references in the article indicate sufficient press notice in reliable sources. Whoever placed the template did not even bother to document any rationale on the talk page. I looked up the show to try to determine whether I wanted to Dvr it, after seeing incessant promos on Trutv...so I certainly consider it qualified for an article. I'm removing the template, feel free to restorre it but provide a rationale for doing so here. Bustter (talk) 22:08, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * It is indeed a notable show. Whoever added the tag did it without any rationale. I will work on some grammar and other fixes to it. Tinton5 (talk) 03:04, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Total losses
Should we add a chart that shows the total number of losses for each Joker? I think it'd be a good idea.--TheDevin13 (talk) 22:33, 24 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose I don't think it would really add anything to the article.--Astros4477 (talk) 23:01, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Paid actors and actresses?
The same lady can be seen in two different episodes. In season 2 episode 12 during Joe's punishment, there is an older lady with a red-white top and a turtleneck outfit. This SAME EXACT lady is also in season 2 episode 28 in the "business over lunch" skit during Joe and Q's turn. She's even wearing the same outfit! Is this something that the show makes known to its viewers that it uses paid actors and actresses?

Here is proof.

Also sal has the same lady in two challenges, one when he spanks himself and one when he's being swag, it's the same woman. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.2.80.24 (talk) 19:28, 28 January 2016 (UTC)


 * not looking good for the show: http://fringeoffame.com/2014/01/01/proof-that-impractical-jokers-is-fake/ 213.61.149.100 (talk) 02:38, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Good data for a criticism section indeed.

Protected article suggestion
This page should really be semi-protected because a lot of unregistered users keep coming in here and adding random, useless stuff to the article and these people usually don't even bother trying to blend their "info" in with the actually relevant content. It's not helping the page at all and it's about time it gets semi-protected to prevent this. 189.78.3.156 (talk) 07:09, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Someone has gone through the development section re-wording sentences and changing dates. I agree that this article should be more protected. I could go in and correct the info myself, but that is exactly the problem. Jenniferc1224 (talk) 04:55, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Murr's marriage
I think someone should add a note about Murr marrying Sal's sister stating that they had the marriage annulled the very next day. They were only married as part of the punishment. The note about Joe being the only truly married one of them should be added back in as well. 98.31.25.121 (talk) 13:46, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Individual Wikipedias for the Guys
Why don't Sal, Joe, Murr, and Q have their own pages? There is enough public information about the four of them, and they are each becoming extremely notable figures with the attention the show and online memes has been giving them. Should I go ahead and just make pages for them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lilydog945 (talk • contribs) 00:45, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Joe Gatto is no longer a cast member so he can't be in Cast Members anymore. Sincerelyoungboy (talk) 17:19, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Joe's Divorce
I think someone should add a note saying that why did Joe and his wife divorced 208.101.129.40 (talk) 03:42, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Confused... is this a sort of sitcom show, or a reality show?
I realize these aren't mutually exclusive categories, but is this a scripted or even improvised sitcom about a practical joke troupe with some extras playing the role of the public, or is it a reality show involving non-actors? I'm not talking about the premise (which Welles'-style may carry over into claims about the show) but about what it actually is. I came to the Article to have this question answered, but didn't get it. I ask because I can't take seriously the idea that people think this is real.24.57.144.66 (talk) 22:35, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
