Q, murr, and sal have had a great season so far,
Full of highlights and lowlights.
We've got a lot to break down tonight, so let's get into it.
Q: Hey, here we go!
Another season of the "impractical jokers"
Is upon is.
I'm gonna [bleep] you up!
The guys have been in a league of their own for years,
But can they answer the bell for season 10
After taking so much punishment?
Oh, my god!
We won't pull any punches
As we dig into nerve-racking clips
And never-before-seen segments of "ij."
No way.
Let's see who rises to meet the challenge,
And whose hope will come crashing down.
Hey, everybody, and welcome to the "sideline smack talk,"
Live in branchburg, new jersey, the home of smack talk.
I'm casey jost, alongside
Nfl cornerback turned food network host,
Friend of the show, eddie jackson.
Hey, buddy.
How's it going?
So this must be a highlight for you.
Have you watched much of the show?
Actually, I have, since the beginning.
My mom, my dad, my coworkers,
They're super excited that I'm here on the show.
So this is just -- this is the biggest thing for you.
The joker bowl is like the little cherry
On top of my career.
Yeah, and so right now, we're gonna dive right into action.
Eddie, what do you do to warm up before a game?
You got to stretch.
Stretching. It's key.
Okay, I did not stretch today. I should.
The jokers like to do some warm-ups of their own
Before they hit the playing field.
These backstage antics are called wild card games,
And we just recently started filming them.
So check this out. This has never been seen before.
♪♪
We've been playing this game on set all day.
We are point blank shooting at each other's faces.
I'm gonna record in slo-mo,
And then we're gonna watch it back,
And whoever flinches the most in the slo-mo gets a thumbs down.
No! [ laughs ]
We haven't started yet! I know.
It's not as easy as you might think it is. No.
And that's what we're doing now.
I'm gonna shoot right at his mouth.
Don't, don't. Come on, man.
You're going first,
So whatever you do to me is getting -- tenfold.
Thrice. Thricefold upon you!
I think you go for the eyes,
'cause that's gonna cause the most flinch.
Yeah. Game on. You ready, buddy?
Alright, I'm ready! I'm ready.
I'm gonna count to three.
Okay.
Sal's whispering, "go on 2."
You know? Why would you say that?
Because he knows I'm gonna go on two.
We're against him.
Ready, q? Yep.
One, two...

[ laughing ] how was it?
You flinched a bit, but it's good.
I think I peed a little bit.

Ah, now, you see?
Oh, now you see!
Q: Open your eyes wide.
Your eyes are literally closed.
I know! It's terrifying!
You're not gonna flinch. I need to witness.
You will never be able to do this.
It's not so easy, right? No!
It's harder than you think. Terrifying.
Open those balls.
Ready?

I failed. I failed so --
We don't even need to go to the tape for you.
I failed so bad!
It's between me and you.
You're never gonna be able to do this.
Just so you get used to it. Oh.
All day we're shooting each other.
Right in the face is different, though.
Alright, alright. Alright.
One thing.
[ murr laughs ] here, let me just...
Let me just get this ready to go.
That was the count.
Yeah, no. We're just gonna see if you...
Oh, my god, no!
Don't flinch and you can win, buddy.

I can't not close my eyes prior.
You have to keep your eyes open.

Is this something that might happen in the locker room?
Actually, you know what? Yes.
You just never know when you might take
A nerf bullet to the face.
Okay, so how does this kind of cross training
Parallel to your world?
For me, I think it's all about intimidation, preparing you,
Getting your game face ready,
And that's what I just saw right there.
Wow. What are some tips that you would do for, like,
Looking fear straight in the face?
Well, first off, you don't want to flinch. Right.
You don't flinch.
You want to look into the eye of your opponent.
You want to scare them a little bit.
Uh-huh. Yeah. So that's what it's all about.
Oh, you're good.
I was raised in the hood.
[ chuckles ] I wasn't.
[ laughs ] alright.
Alright, so a major part of any pre-season is making sure
You're putting in the work
To keep your reaction time lightning fast.

We will be performing the infamous parlor trick,
The tablecloth pull.
Each of us will take a turn,

I don't mean to brag --
I did watch a few videos on this before.
Oh! Why would you do that?
I ran the numbers, and because I'm on the --
Yeah, but you know what this sounds like to me?
Like a foolproof plan.
Yeah. We know how that ends..
I know the technique.
Yeah, we thought you learned.
Alright, go ahead. Show us how it's done.
I'm sizing up the table.
Here we go, baby. Come on, baby!
Oh, my god.
This is reckless.
Come on, baby.
Oh, whoa! Oh, my god!
That was not bad. Not bad!
I'm eating my words immediately.
Not bad. Whoa!
That is most of the stuff on the table.
Yes. I'll take it!
Ever since I saw bill murray do it in "ghostbusters,"
I've wanted to do this.
And here we are. This one's for bill.
Alright, buddy.
Alright. Ready? This is not gonna work.
Ready? One, two...

And the flowers are still standing!
[ applause ] yes!
Are you kidding me? Nothing even moved!
Nothing fell off the table?
Nothing.
I'm speechless.

Quinn, quinn, quinn.
To tie, I can't have a spoon drop.
Q: Yeah! To tie.
Why aren't you happy for me?
A perfect score. Yes.
I might as well just --
You might as well go.
Q: Come on!
[ cheering ]
Alright.
Oh!
One spoon!
I've never had a perfect anything in my entire life.
Alright, in this game,
How much do you think is natural talent versus preparation?
I think this is all about luck.
Really? No skill at all?
That's no skill. No skill?
I don't know, I think if it is luck,
Then I do believe what you're saying,
Because sal has the worst luck,
And he called that he just needed a spoon.
Like, "oh, a spoon can't even fall,"
And a spoon fell.
Sal came so close to winning.
What is your advice for a player
That loses by such a small margin?
Well, for me, being a competitor,
I feel like where you lose by little
Or you lose by a lot, you still lost.
You still lost.
They don't put an asterisk next to the loss.
I'm like, "oh, they only lost by a point."
You're right. No, a loss is a loss.
Yeah. I mean, yeah. That's so true.
Don't touch that dial, folks.
We'll be right back with more show.
[ crowd cheering ]
And we're back.
I'm casey jost, alongside
Pro footballer, gourmet chef,
And friend of the show, eddie jackson.
What's the best trash talk
You've ever heard on the field?
The best trash talk that I've ever heard on the field
Is just something that I didn't even hear.
It was randy moss. He just put his hand up.
There's all the trash talk you needed,
When you don't have to use words.
Show, don't tell. Yeah.
Wow, that's crazy.
Let's see how the fellas
Can walk the walk while others are talking the talk.
I will bend all of you over and verbally annihilate you.
Yo, I'm gonna [bleep] you up!
How would you describe their fashion sense?
I would say, um, they get a really good star for trying.
Shields? Yeah.
You're in my world now.
This ain't studio 54, sweetheart.
I would really love if you'd just stop talking to me,
You worthless, fat, poor, piece of shit.
You want to be honest? Alright.
What do we got ourselves into tonight?
Do it in a tight diamond.
Okay, so this isn't traditionally like a triangle,
But it's more of a tight diamond.
[ laughter ]
I guess that's what they call triangle on staten island. Yeah.
With that hairline,
How do you say that with a straight face?
Dude, I'm your future in about ten years, buddy.
Is that right? I've see your hair.
I had your hair, and it was better than yours.
You look like you can be really picky.

I--I--I'm just saying --
What's up with the -- with the wolfman jack hairdo?

I'm sorry! [bleep] you, turkey tits!
I'm sorry about that, turkey tits,
You son of a bitch [bleep].
He's rubbing off on me. I don't know. What's happening?
What are you looking at, you piece of shit?
So, yeah, trash talk is scary to me,
Because I feel like in my head,
I'm like, "oh, I know what to say."
But when you get there, you're like, "you idiot."
Like, it never comes out right.
You have to feel the trash talk.
There's no script for trash talk.
You have to just feel it. It has to just come out.
Alright, well, let's talk about the rookies
We drafted this season.
We saw a lot of new faces out there
Joining the jokers in challenges,
But these fresh faces
Might be trying to hurt you more than help you.
Let's take a look at some highlights.
It's your first time here,
So I brought something that would help us.
Without a doubt, it's irish whiskey.
Cheers. Cheers.
Thank you.
You guys are product inventors.
You have never seen your products before.
This is the... Grow-n-boil lobster.

We can't -- I can't --
I'm trying to hear you.
This could yield up to two. What?
All those eggs?
Pay attention, please. I do tantric yoga for lovers.
You look at each other's eyes, and you're gonna breathe.
Breathe and breathe. And breathe.
Look in each other's eyes.
Breathe. Yes.

Whiskey steve is behind the wheel right now.
Attributes that most zoos do not have --
See-through bathrooms.
Do you want to walk them through that,
And how you would urinate or defecate
In this petting zoo slash bar?
Well, that's --
I mean, like, look, here's the thing.
I'm drunk.

You put on the shower pajama, and...

And the water comes through like that.
If you took the suit off in the morning,
You absolutely will not be dry.
[ laughter ]
Alright, alright.
Talk to me about q going up against steve byrne.
I want to get a ruling, because I think there was
A performance-enhancing drug
That may have helped them a little bit.
What do you think?
Spectacular. Good idea?
Great idea. So you allow it.
Oh, I do allow it. Okay.
Don't, though, because they'll just do that
For every challenge.
So in this challenge, steve constantly was throwing q
Under the bus, giving him new things to explain.
How do you handle somebody that just keeps coming at you?
You got to roll with the punches.
Really? Yeah.
You got to be able to overcome adversity.
That's all that was, just a little adversity.
So roy is a cerebral opponent.
How do you get an edge on someone who always seems like
They're one step ahead of you?
See, you got to find that weakness.
You just got to keep digging it and keep digging it.
Basically, just push that knife deeper,
And that's what roy was doing.
With the audio, right?
With the audio. It was noisy, right?
It was noisy, and he was calling out
That the product is flawed.
"are those eggs?"
[ laughs ] yeah. Yeah.
Roy kept a straight face through the whole thing.
He didn't break. See, you said it.
Yeah. The face. The face is everything.
Yeah. What did you think of henchhench?
Hilariously terrible. That's my rookie of the year.
Really? Yes.
Rookie of the year, henchhench.
Are you kidding me? The hair, the shirt.
He went all out. Six buttons undone?
These other guys aren't bringing that.
No, no, no. That was awesome.
Henchhench brought it.
