What Season 5 of Impractical Jokers

Four friends from Staten Island, New York, Joe, Sal, Murr and Q, form the improv group The Tenderloins and force themselves to play pranks in public. Each episode features two or three challenges. One of them tries to complete an embarrassing task in front of passersby who don't know it's a game, while the other three, hidden and equipped with surveillance gear, tell them what to say through an earpiece. Whoever fails to reach the goal of each challenge loses, and the one who racks up the most losses takes the punishment their teammates impose. The stars created the series themselves, which airs on truTV. Improvisation drives the whole format, and the reactions of the four are often as striking as those of the people who cross their path.
