History Series / ImpracticalJokers

** In the [[SpinOff "Inside Jokes"]] episode that mentions behind the scenes facts about Murr's {{Flashmob}} punishment, where a [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom Mola Ram]] {{Expy}} throws his blanket into a fire, it mentions that two copies of the blankie were made. Once the Flash mob disassembles, the other guys reassure Murr that they burned a copy, Joe takes out the "real" blankie as proof, and throws it into the fire. Murr later found the actual blankie safe and sound at home, which he tweeted to relieve fans, and on ''After Party'', production showed that his true blankie remained safe and sound.

'''Sal''' He's now berating ''them''! The whole point is to get people to cheer for him!\\

* AllForNothing: {{Invoked}} at a sushi bar where the Jokers know that they can make Q lose just by telling him to eat sushi (which he absolutely refuses to do), but first they make him do a bunch of other stuff that they know will be for naught.

* ContinuityNod: In the episode "The Truth Hurts," Murr was hooked up to a lie detector and forced to admit he had a crush on his Spanish teacher, Senora Lanza. When Joe and Sal get punished in "Enter The Dragons," they have to pose as a rock group that Murr has dubbed Senora Lanza.

* WritingAroundTrademarks: One of Murr's punishments was taking part in the mock game show ''[[Series/AreYouSmarterThanAFifthGrader Is Murr Smarter than a Young Child Student Between 4th and 6th Grade?]]''

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: For one of Murr's punishments, he has to go to an internet café and play a game called "Close Everyone's Laptops". The objective is to close everyone's laptops.

-->'''Q:''' I'm never gonna un-see what I just saw.

* TheCastShowOff: Sal is a surprisingly good singer!

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Almost every episode up to the first half of season 9 is named after the punishment inflicted on the losing Joker; after Joe left, each episode since is named after the celebrity guest who joins in for the punishment.

* PantsPullingPrank: Done twice as a challenge, where the Jokers have to get a stranger to untangle earbud cords before a special guest walks over and pulls down their pants. The first time featured [[Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys Bully Ray]], Wrestling/TommyDreamer, Wrestling/VelvetSky, and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Luke, a child from a previous challenge]]. The second, filmed in Hollywood, starred Jay and Silent Bob for three Jokers; the recently fired [[ButtMonkey Rob Emmer]] went during Sal's turn and pleaded for his job while pitifully pantsing.

* KillItWithFire: During one round of Risky Readers, after Q persuades a young woman to let him read entries from his (fake) daughter's diary, the entries seem relatively innocuous until he gets to a part that has the daughter gush about her [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything vividly-described desire for hot dogs]]. After the challenge is won, the woman promptly encourages Q to [[FieryCoverUp burn the diary and leave no evidence of him having ever read it]].

* {{Unishment}}: The jokers have mentioned on numerous occasions that Joe is the hardest of the lot to punish because he has little shame. He looks like he's enjoying at least half of his punishments.
