The Impractical Jokers are a group of four best friends: James “Murr” Murray, Brian “Q” Quinn, Joseph “Joe” Gatto, and Salvatore “Sal” Vulcano. They’ve known each other since meeting at school in 1990 (in a religion class, no less) and can make each other crack up. The guys make their viewers feel like they’re in on the joke, which makes the show so appealing to watch. As Comedy Central says, “[w]hile their pranks are as hilarious as they are painful to watch, the stuff that comes out of their mouths makes us cry-laugh every time.”
