History Characters / ImpracticalJokers

* {{Catchphrase}}:
** Whenever the jokers need to give someone directions: "Up your ass and to the left."
** Whenever a joker is tricked into believing that they're doing a challenge rather than a punishment, the other jokers will say "Weeeeeeeell..." before revealing the punishment to the loser in question.

* CatchPhrase: "LARRY!"

* BellyDancer: He got hit with this in the punishment at the end of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Bellydancer."]]

* BerserkButton: He appears to have a passionate hatred for bloggers, as shown in the intro of a challenge pertaining to blogs:
-->'''Joe''': ''(mockingly)'' Blah, blah, blog! My puppy can do somersaults! ''(goes back to his normal tone)'' '''[[BigShutUp SHUT UP]]'''!!! No one cares!

-->'''Joe''': ''(mockingly)'' Blah blah, blah, my puppy can do somersaults! ''(goes back to his normal tone)'' ;;;SHUT UP;;;!!! No one cares!

-->'''Joe''': ''(mockingly)'' Blah blah, blah, my puppy can do somersaults! ''(goes back to his normal tone)'' NO ONE '''CARES'''!!!

** Ironically, in "That's Electric," where he and Murr have written each other's TV show pitches, bonus footage shows Murr struggling to read a pitch that Q had loaded with extremely verbose and flowery words. Made funnier by the fact that Murr has a Bachelor's degree in English!

* ButtMonkey: He is often subjected to MyFriendsAndZoidberg treatment by the other guys and his punishments are noticeably more brutal than anyone else's. Chances are, if someone's gonna get screwed over, it's Murr; i.e. Joe making him lose the hide-and-seek challenge by calling his phone, even though Sal and Q were also fair game. There's also the fact that they've used his crippling fear of heights against him numerous times.

* HeelFaceTurn: There are a few times when he thinks a punishment goes a little too far.
** In "Look Out Below", he is clearly not as enthusiastic as Sal and Joe are to watch Murr skydive. In the Inside Jokes special for the episode, it was revealed that he had tried to talk the other guys out of having Murr skydive in the first place, but he was overruled.
** While he was in high spirits during the "Brow Beaten" punishment, which had the Jokers shaving Murr's hair and eyebrows off right before their trip to London and two weeks before his nephew's confirmation, Q stated, as the Jokers arrived at the salon, that if he were the one getting the punishment, he would've quit the show entirely. He doesn't make a move to stop the punishment, but he does watch the spectacle looking rather distressed.
** He is pretty disturbed by and is reluctant to watch when Murr has a catheter inserted into his penis as part of a punishment at the end of "The Bachelor Party." After the catheter goes in, he says, "I feel like we've done something bad." Subverted when he mentions a nearby zip line, which comes into play during the next part of Murr's punishment. Q also can't watch when Murr's then-fiancée, Melyssa, removes the catheter.
** In general, Q seems to be most empathetic to Murr during his physical punishments. Since he is not allowed to interfere, he is often shown to watch the punishments with dismay on his face (if he even watches at all) while Joe and Sal watch with rapt anticipation.
*** Ironically, he tends to be the one who Murr is first to attack in retribution for his punishments.

* HeelFaceTurn: During the “Drive, Drive, Drive” punishment, Murr asked Q to go to the White Castle in the Bronx to get food for him. Q, having already endured an arduous trip to and from the Bronx, pleaded with Murr to let him go to a White Castle on the way to his (Murr’s) home in New Jersey instead. Murr agreed.
-->'''Q: ''' ''[holding up box of laxatives]'' Joe gave me this laxative to slip into your food. I promise not to mess with your food at all if you just let me go to a White Castle on the way to you. Please!
-->'''Murr:''' ''[beat]'' My friend, you have a deal. Absolutely!
-->'''Q:''' ''[cheers with relief]''

* HeelFaceTurn: In bonus footage of the punishment in which he had to ruin pictures signed by Yankee great Tino Martinez for fans at a meet-and-greet, Q begged the guys to give him a pass when his next target was a little girl with her father. Being the father of a young daughter himself, Joe snatched the microphone from Murr and Sal and emphatically granted the pass.
--> '''Joe''': ''(to Sal and Murr)'' You'll thank me when you have a little ''bambina''.

* HeelFaceTurn: Admitted to feeling bad when watching Q get pummeled by Tommy Dreamer during the former's punishment in "The Lost Boy." He also watched with extreme discomfort when Q had to paint red X’s on art students’ canvases during his “X-Man” punishment.

** [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-zagged]] in "Stripteased," where he is forced to perform with the Australian male striptease troupe Thunder Down Under in front of a packed house... covered in red skin and hives from an induced allergic reaction.

* OnlySaneMan: Well, the ''sanest'' of the bunch. With a NeatFreak NervousWreck of a germaphobe (Sal), a LargeHam with a ThousandYardStare (Joe), and a sensitive ButtMonkey with acrophobia (Murr), he's a step closer to normal.

* {{Catchphrase}}: Whenever the jokers need to give someone directions: "Up your ass and to the left."

* DidntThinkThisThrough: In "Tooth & Consequences", due to one of his teeth suddenly falling out right as they're beginning a challenge about getting selfies with challenges, he decides to forfeit the challenge. He forgets that, due to the scoreboard and how this was the last challenge of the episode, it means that he loses the episode as a whole and has to do a punishment. Sure enough, the other jokers decide that his punishment is to try and get a stranger to take a selfie with him anyway.
