The live improve comedy troupe known as the Tenderloins are back!
Featuring Joe Gatto, James Murray, Brian Quinn and Sal Vulcano who would be known for their comedy sketches on YouTube and other social media sites, they are now taking things to a new level with their comedy show “Impractical Jokers”.
For those not familiar with the Tenderloins, back in 2007, the four-man comedy group would win a $100,000 grand prize for NBC’s “It’s Your Show” competition. Not long after, the group began developing a scripted comedy pilot. By 2011, the group would have a hidden camera comedy show on TruTV titled “Impractical Jokers” and their first season alone was watched by 32 million fans.
In 2015, as a fourth season is about to conclude in October, “Impractical Jokers: The Complete Third Season” will be released on DVD in October 2015. Featuring a total of 31 episodes (episodes 46-77), the guys take things even further with their pranks.
“Impractical Jokers” is a series in which a member of the Tenderloins must take on a challenge set up the group. With hidden cameras in the vicinity, and a member wearing an ear piece to receive instructions, that member must do what the group members say. If they succeed, they pass but the one with the most failures by the end of the day, must receive some sort of punishment.
For example, in the first episode of the fourth season titled “Lookout Below”, each member must work as bellhops and listen to what their fellow team members ask them to do (if they resist, they lose out in points, and the person with the worst points must do something very embarrassing or daring).  In a second skit, the guys must work as hot dog vendors and offend people coming up to him. Meanwhile, the guys must present the weirdest inventions during a focus group. The loser of the first episode must conquer his fear of heights and go skydiving by himself.
Another example is the fourth episode of the fourth season titled “Nationals Disaster” in which a member must cause trouble at a grocery story, give away a mystery bag and find “The Chosen One” at a food court.  The loser of the episode must pretend to be a gymnast in front of real gymnasts and perform a routine.
The third season also features an episode shown to a live audience as the group must partake in joker challenges such as participating in a focus group, competing to have their team mascots approved, setting a dancing debate in the mall and presenting their ridiculous book ideas.
And with 31 episodes, this season and this DVD releases has the most episodes yet…which means more fun and more embarrassing situations!

I first discovered “Impractical Jokers” several years ago on television (at that time, I believe it had a different title) but for those who are used to having friends who act stupid for a joke, there is no doubt that the comedy troupe, the Tenderloins and their comedy show will attract you.
Featuring four friends who usually prank each other, why not see how far these four can go with their stupidity and go to embarrass each other in front of people. And to these four people, they have been doing this since they were attending Monsignor Farrell High School in Staten Island. Four guys, always trying to get a laugh and now these four are continuing their hijinks into their adulthood and millions of people continue to watch as the show is in its third season.
When I first saw it and began DVR’ing the show, the first thing that came to my mind about this series was how insane this group was. From being dared to go into a laundromat and take a woman’s panties and put it on your head for 30-seconds in front of them, to going to a buffet and stealing people’s food and putting it on your plate or even going to the grocery store to take someone’s groceries in front of them, that is insane and I often wonder how these unsuspecting people react when they are going to be on television.
The level of hijinks is also quite impressive and with the third season, obviously the guys are doing something right because not only did their episode count get boosted up to 31 episodes but we get to see the guys in a variety of locations and it doesn’t get dull. There is always something new as the guys really go all out in getting their friends to do something crazy, idiotic or offensive.
But it seems like the guys are used to taking on challenges on what to say and act, but the punishments are going even further in embarrassing or taking the guys to conquer their fears or doing something not expected.  For example, Murr has to eat exotic foods after having Novocaine injected into his gums. A member must get an embarrassing tattoo, a member must keep yelling “Bingo!” during a Bingo tournament. A member must go to JFK International Airport and steal people’s luggage and frisking anonymous people. So, things are taken up a notch when it comes to punishments.
As for the DVD, fans of the show can expect to see all 31 episodes, audio commentary for two episodes, deleted scenes and a good number of digital special features included.
“Impractical Jokers: The Complete Third Season” demonstrates that embarrassing jokes and awkward situations remains popular on television and while there have been shows that have done crazy hidden camera segments before, especially on late night talk shows, the four members of the Tenderloins have no doubt shown they can take things up a notch higher and don’t care if they make a fool of themselves. And they are much more daring than ever for the third season!
Overall, if you love awkward hidden camera pranks, the improv comedy troupe the Tenderloins take things to a new level for “Impractical Jokers: The Complete Third Season”. More episodes and more crazy, embarrassing and daring situations! Check it out!
