For almost all of us, being stuck in our homes has led to mass amounts of boredom. For those like myself, not being able to go to the movie theater is a huge change from what we’re used to. Luckily, a number of films that came out just before the Coronavirus pandemic broke out have gone quickly to Video On Demand, allowing audiences to still indulge in their offerings. One such title is Impractical Jokers: The Movie, one of my favorite comedies of 2020 so far, and a perfect tonic from all of the world’s stress right now.

Besides the show, the tour as the comedy quarter The Tenderloins, playing to sold out theaters across the world. Even more recently, they’ve become game show stars with The Misery Index. Quite frankly, they’re everywhere, including constant rebroadcasts of Impractical Jokers, and that’s meant as a compliment. Again, as a reminder, Impractical Jokers: The Movie is a feature length version of the show, with an added narrative. The plot summary, via IMDb: “The story of a humiliating high school mishap from 1992 that sends the Impractical Jokers on the road competing in hidden-camera challenges for the chance to turn back the clock and redeem three of the four Jokers.” Essentially, there’s a light story to give the guys an excuse to do a version […]
