Impractical Jokers

S01E08: Who Arted?

The guys conduct a focus group with unique consumer questioning, are totally unfit as trainers in a gym class, and pretend to work at a famous New York bakery.

Overview

This hidden-camera series follows four lifelong friends -- Brian "Q"' Quinn, James "Murr"' Murray, Joe Gatto and Sal Vulcano -- who take dares to an outrageous level. To find out who is best under pressure, the guys compete in awkward and outrageous hidden-camera hijinks with the loser performing what is deemed to be the most-mortifying challenge yet.
