Impractical Jokers, the well-known US comedy group, want to come to India to shoot an episode of their popular show with the same name, says group member James Murray. “We would love to (come to India). We’ve talked about touring there, we’ve talked about doing a back-to-back Australia – India tour or maybe shoot an episode here or there and one day hopefully we will,” Murray said.

To this, Brian Q Quinn added: “It’s always a discussion, we always want to go.” The New York-based comedy troupe also comprises Joe Gatto and Sal Vulcano. The troupe, also known as The Tenderloins, caught the spiral of fame with the hidden-camera comedy reality TV series “Impractical Jokers”.

They use a combination of hidden microphones and cameras to dare each other to go out of the comfort zone and embarrass themselves. The show is aired in India on Comedy Central.

Impractical Jokers – A typical episode is a series of competitive games of dare, in which each joker receives either a thumbs up or thumbs down for his performance. At the climax, the joker who tallied the most thumbs down is the loser and is thereby subjected to a “punishment”. The games are contrived scenarios in which one joker is challenged to embarrass himself by engaging with unwitting members of the general public, receiving commands from the other jokers who are orchestrating and surveying the bizarre scenario from behind the scenes with covert recording equipment. The most common premise is “you refuse – you lose.” The intro describes the show as, “scenes of graphic stupidity among four lifelong friends who compete to embarrass each other.” The games are loosely structured, relying heavily upon improvisation. The show’s comedic themes range from witty dialogue to slapstick routines, with the reactions of both the jokers and the members of the public serving as punchlines.
