Narrator: Coming up -- what's
got Joe hitting the bottle?

[ Laughter ]

Why is Murr having
a brief encounter?

[ Laughter ]

And which losing joker
will be caught in a cat fight

in tonight's big punishment?

[ Cat meows ]

[ Laughter ]

Sal:
Prepare for something amazing.

Q: Hey, mustache, what's up?

[ Laughter ]

Murr:
I want my mommy!

[ Laughter ]

Sal:
I will never forgive you!

Joe: Larry!

[ Laughter ]

Today, we are posing
as trainees

in Organic Avenue
in Chelsea.

While learning
the job,

we'll have to do and say
what the other guys tell us.

At the end
of the training session,

we'll have the trainer rank us
on a scale of to .

Whoever gets
the lowest ranking loses.

Joe: You want
to give them a minute?

This is James.
Hi.

James,
this is Melissa.

None of the employees know
that we are working here today.

Only the manager knows.
She's in on it.

She's gonna help us out.

I'm gonna be
in back, okay?

Gotcha.
Thank you.

All right, Murr,
good luck on your new job.

This is exciting.

My first day --
I'm very excited.

Q:
Somebody's walking in.

Murr, tell them you're closed
for training, buddy.

I'm sorry,
we're closed for training.

[ Laughter ]

We're closed for training.
I'm sorry.

We're closed for training.
I'm training. I'm new.

We're closed.
I'm sorry.



Thank you.

[ Laughter ]

Should I
do that, too?

I guess.
[ Both laugh ]

I don't know.
Okay.

Did you
take the subway, too?

Did you
take the subway, too?

Yeah, I did.
You did.

I should wash my mouth,
then, too.

So, I sho--

I should really
wash my mouth, too.

Hold on.

[ Laughter ]

Okay.
This is organic?

This is organic?
Yes.

I got to bring this home
to my wife.

This is great.

I have to -- I have to
bring this home to my wife.

She says I never bring her
to an organic.

She -- she s--

[ Laughter ]

My wife says
I never bring her to --

Look at him, he's losing
it out there. What's
the matter with you?

My wife says I never
bring her to an organic.

Yeah.

[ Laughter ]

Okay, so let's say
a customer walks in.

Let's say, for example,
a customer walks in, all right?

Play out
what a customer would do.

So, a customer
walks in --

you know, let's say
he's got, like, a moustache.

And he comes up to me
and he's, like...

"What's the best
for me?"

[ Deep voice ] "Hey,
what's the best tea for me?"

[ Laughter ]

[ Normal voice ] And
I'm like, "Well, sir,
we have many options.

The most popular one
is the Green Energy."

Go over
and do his wife.

His wife is here,
and she's like,

[High-pitched voice]
"But I don't like bananas."

[ Laughter ]

Make him get in a fight
about how he doesn't know her.

She's like,
"I can't believe you thought

I would like bananas."

[ Deep voice ] "Well
[bleep]damn it, bitch!"

[ Laughter ]
[ High-pitched voice]
"But come on,

you promise me
an organic, Roger."

[ Deep voice ] He's like,
"Oh, she got me there."

Okay.

[ Laughter ]

What are
the different settings for?
So...

Scream when
she turns it on.

The screen...
[ Yells ]

[ Laughter ]

Sorry,
I just have PTSD.

I have to apologize. I have
a little bit of, like, PTSD.

From the time I --
I was in a blender.

[ Laughter ]

From the time I --

from the time
I was in a blender.

Oh.
Yeah.

Wow.
I'm sorry.

[ Laughter ]

Uh-oh,
quick piss.

Uh-oh,
quick piss.

[ Laughter ]



Now we're gonna send in
the manager to ask how Murr did.

How's it going?
So, how's he doing?

Like, to .

That's amazing.

Still too good.
I'll take it.

I'll take it.

You got to be kidding.

So, what we're gonna make today
is a Green Protein.

Good.
I'm excited for this job.

Sal, have a stupid face when
you concentrate on something.

[ Laughter ]

So, like...



Look at his face.

[ Laughter ]

Am I doing it right?

Yeah, yeah.

[ Laughter ]

Blueberries,
strawberries, bananas.

Okay.
All right.

Toss it in.

Concentrate, concentrate.
Concentrate. Look at him.



[ Laughter ]

Look -- look at him,
look at him.

[ Laughter ]

So, you want me to pour this
into the bowl?

Yeah.
Okay.

Look at him.

[ Laughter ]

Hey, how you doing,
sir?

Welcome to Organic
Market. If you eat meat,
get the [bleep] out.

Welcome to
Organic Market.

If you eat beef,
get the [bleep] out.

[ Laughter ]

sh**t the look,
sh**t the look.

[ Laughter ]

Oh, hi.

You're from
the building?

Yeah.
Oh, okay.

[ Laughter ]

That's the landlord.

[ Laughter ]

Now we're gonna make
a bowl.
Q:
Quick question --

how do you know who's an
employee and who's a customer?

How do you...

[ Laughter ]

...discern who's an employee
and who's a customer?

Oh, the uniform.

Yeah.
Yeah.

[ Laughter ]

Okay, the next thing I was gonna
train you on was the register.

So, we have a bit where
we're working behind the counter

and somebody comes in
and throws water in your face.

This is not
that bit.
But we're gonna
do it anyway.

Watch what you're doing.

[ Laughter ]

This is not that bit.
[ Laughter ]

Joe: Have the face
as you're going to get the mop.

[ Laughter ]

Keep it together,
keep it together!



[ Laughter ]

Here we go,
here we go.

So, how you doing?
Let's see
what he got.

Scale of to .



[ Laughter ]

.

Q:
A three.

[ Laughter ]

What do you think's
the most important...

So, you worked
at the other location?

So, you worked
at the Bleecker location,

the other one?

What's their security system
like there?

They got cameras?

Over in that one,
what's the, uh --

what's, like, the security
system like over there?

They have cameras?

They do.
They do.

[ Laughter ]

Always.
Always gloves.

Gloves, yes.

Right, you don't want
to leave prints.

Yeah.
You don't want germs,

you don't want to leave prints,
nothing like that.

[ Laughter ]
Sal: Do you think
the security codes

are the same
between both stores?

Like, the codes and everything
like that -- the same thing --

they're all the same
in all the stores, right?

Yeah.
We'll find out.

I guess we'll f--

[ Laughter ]

I guess
we'll find out.

[ Laughter ]

On average, how much cash
is there in the drawer

at the end
of the night?

On average...
[ Laughter ]

...how much cash
is there in the drawer

at the end
of the night?

I'm just gonna
sh**t you straight --

I'm looking
to rob this place blind.

[ Laughter ]

I'm just gonna
sh**t you straight --

I'm looking
to rob this place blind.

[ Laughter ]

Sal: She doesn't know
what to make of it.

So, these are
the juices.

Q: Got it.
They're right over here.

Could you just show me,
like, what...

Like,
if people ask,

I don't even know
what's over here.

That's -- that's --

Brussels sprouts
and [bleep]-take pecan?

Joe: Shitake!

Murr: Shitake.

That was actually
Q reading that.

It's shitake!
It's shitake mushrooms.

Oh, man, I never had
[bleep]-take before.

It looks all right.

Speaking of [bleep]-take,
I'll be right back.

[ Laughter ]

Speaking of [bleep]-take,
I'll be right back.

[ Laughter ]

Pop out disheveled.

Help.
Help.

[ Laughter ]

How's it going?

Like, on a scale of to ,
what would you say?

!
!

Yeah!
[ Laughter ]

So, now which one
are we making, the...

Green Energy smoothie.

Drink the coconut water.
[ Laughs ]

That smells good.



Murr:
Take another one.

You can't stop.

You're addicted.
You're addicted.

Do it again.



[ Laughter ]

It's delicious.

He's now ruined
two full bottles of milk.

See, it says ounces,
specifically...
Got it.

...it'll say half a scoop of
which fruit specifically to...

Cool, cool.
[ Laughter ]

Don't drink.

The hardest thing for me
to remember is,

don't drink
directly from the bottle.



You need another taste
of that sweet nectar.



How's that?

Good?

[ Laughter ]

That's better.

That tastes better.

[ Laughter ]

Get your cup ready.
Get my cup ready.

Q: Joe, you've never seen
a cup sleeve before.

[ Laughter ]

Let go.

I got it.
I know.

I'm just doing it
on my own,

'cause I have to learn.

[ Laughter ]

I'm just trying
to make sure it's in.

[ Laughter ]

So, I just
take this out?
You open it.

Sal:
Do a trick and say,

"I feel like Tom Cruise
in 'Cocktail.'"

Whoo, see that?
[ Laughs ]

Oh, you don't want
to spill?

I won't spill.
I'm good like that.

I'm Tom Cruise
in "Cocktail."

I hope Gina Gershon
parks her ass

at the end of the counter
and I get to [bleep] her.



Hit me
with that Gina Gershon.

[ Laughter ]

Say it!

Hopefully,
Gina Gershon comes over here,

puts her ass down,
and I get to [bleep] her.

[ Laughter ]

Murr: Joe, you got to drink
a little more milk.

Here he goes.
Here he goes.



She's coming back.
She's coming back.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh!



You got to drink
a little more milk.

Here he goes.
Here he goes.



She's coming back.
She's coming back.

Oh, oh, oh.

Mm.

[ Laughter ]

I should go wash my hands,
actually.

Sal:
She keeps scolding him.

Murr:
Look at her face.

She has had it,
dealing with this guy.

She's in
a catatonic state.

[ Laughter ]

All right,
let's send in the manager.

What's going on?

You're getting
a [bleep]ing...

Negative three.

From to ,
how do you think he did?

A .

!
[ Laughter ]

You've got
to be [bleep]ing me.

Narrator: Sal wasn't
employee of the month,

but his photo will be displayed
on the loser board.

Today, we'll have to
get a stranger

to help us untangle
these headphones

before a secret guest gets to us
and rips our pants off

right in the middle
of the mall.

What?
Yep.

If the stranger gets your
headphones untangled in time,

you're safe.

If they can't get them
untangled in time,

your pants get ripped off
right in the middle of the mall.

What?

It's a pants party.
[ Laughs ]

Joe:
So, Sal's put on

the trademarked "Impractical
Jokers" breakaway pants.

Yes.

Dude, there's no way
to get these things untangled.

Murr: Choose somebody carefully
to untangle those.

Your pants
are in their hands.

Or your pants are gonna be
in someone's hands.

Excuse me,
dude.

I need to untangle these things.
I can't do it.

Do you feel like
you can untangle them?

Thank you so much.

Here he comes.

Q: Here we go,
here we go.

[ Laughter ]

It's Bully Ray.
[ Laughs ]

[ Laughter ]

Bully Ray is a legendary
professional wrestler

who almost b*at the crap
out of Sal years ago

in a parking lot at a wrestling
event when Sal insulted him.

If you could just --

if you could just hurry up
and get them untangled.

[ Laughter ]
Bully Ray.

Okay,
that's good.

No, don't give them
back to me!

What is he doing?

Why are you
giving them back to me?

Can someone
untangle these?

[Bleep]

[ Laughter ]

[ Laughter ]

Murr: Look at this guy --
He's got no pants on.

[ Buzzer, laughter ]

Murr: Q.
Yeah?

Choose your ally
very carefully.

Murr, there's no sh*t.

You just need, you know,
someone that's dexterous.

Shut up.

Stop saying -- that's the third
time you've said "dexterous."

It seems like
the right fit.

He just
wants everybody to know

that he knows
the word "dexterous."
I learned it.

Do you think you could take a
sh*t at untangling these for me?

Oh, yeah?
Cool. Thanks.

All right,
let's do this.

Oh, my God, no.
It's Tommy Dreamer.

[ Laughter ]
Oh, man.

This guy banged me up a lot
last time.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

[ Laughter ]

You got them.

Oh, you're so close.
Oh, man. Come on, please.

[ Laughter ]
Oh, man, come on.

Dude, I thought
we were friends.

I thought --

How you doing?

[ Laughter ]

Please don't
hurt me again.

Please don't
hurt me again.

[ Laughter ]

You weren't supposed to
pull my [bleep] out, dude.

We're gonna get arrested.

Murr:
Oh, my God.

That's what
I was afraid of.

[ Laughter, buzzer ]

Dude, are you good
with untangling these things?

I've been trying
for like minutes.

I have made
no progress whatsoever.

Can you
give me a hand?

And here we go.
And...

Ready?

Go, go, go!
Come on, come on, come on.

Sal:
Here she comes.

[ Laughter ]
We have Velvet Sky --

former TNA women's
knockout champion, Velvet Sky.

Who's actually walking
much more briskly

than the two of you did.

It's...

Q:
She's walking too fast.

You boys ready for some
hot girl-on-girl action?

[ Laughter ]

You get that end,
I'll get this end.

Walk with me, walk with me,
walk with me.

[ Laughter ]

Hi. Hi.

He's done.
He's done.

Hi.
No, no!

[ Laughter ]

[ Laughter ]

He's got
women's underwear on.

Yeah,
I wore my panties.

[ Laughter ]

Put your pants on.
It's over.

[ Laughter ]

[ Buzzer ]

Guys, I got a problem.

Oh, they're all tangled.

What an issue.
Excuse me.

Yeah, you,
come here a second.

She's coming.
She's coming.

He called her
out of the store.

, feet away.
Unbelievable.

Joe:
This is what happened --

I had the red and the blue ones,
and they got tangled.

You look like you're good
with wires.

We downshifted
a little bit.

Yeah, I've been doing
some shop-- oh, God.

[ Laughter ]

Joe: Yeah, you,
come here a second.

I had the red and the blue ones,
and they got tangled.

You look like you're good
with wires.

All right.

We downshifted
a little bit.

Murr:
Here comes Luke.

Yeah, I've been doing
some shop-- oh, God.

Remember the challenge where
we get people to watch our son?

That's Luke.

He's gunning it.
He's gunning it.

Q:
Cute little kid.
He's gunning it, though.

Oh, you're close.
Go ahead, you got it.

Keep to it --
oh, this little bastard.

Hey, buddy, how are you?
How you doing, man?

How you doing, buddy?
How's it going?

Go ahead.

Keep working,
keep working.

[ Laughter ]

Go ahead, do it, come on!
Put your heart into it.

Murr:
This doesn't look right.

He's got --

Put your heart into it.
Come on!

[ Laughter ]

Didn't get it.
[ Buzzer ]

Narrator: No one
could keep their pants on,

which means Sal
is tonight's big loser.

Okay,
here we go.

Joe, would you
do the honors?

Okay, ready, bud?
Here we go.

Okay, ready?
One, two...

Q: Does this place
look familiar at all?

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Soak it in,
buddy.

[ Laughter ]

Now,
do you remember

when you dropped tarantulas
on me, my friend?

We all did.
[ Laughs ]

You seemed
to enjoy it

just a little bit more
than everybody else.

Don't come near.

No -- pumpernickel,
pumpernickel.

Pumpernickel! Stop!

[ Laughing ]
You're a grown man

screaming "pumpernickel"
in a warehouse.

[ Laughter ]

Instead of covering you
with tarantulas,

we're gonna cover you
with kitty cats.

[ Laughter ]
No, you're not.

Oh, yeah, we are.

Oh, yeah --
and don't worry, buddy.

If you start panicking,
just say, "Whole wheat."

You just say,
"Whole wheat."

It's a safe word,
buddy.

Tarantulas cannot att*ck you
like a cat can.

They can't att*ck you
that swiftly.

They can't bite you,
they can't scratch you.

Of course
they can bite you!

Knock, knock.

Who's there?
Catnip.

[ Laughter ]

Oh, I do not like this.

[ Breathes deeply ]



Q:
Let's get this started.

Sal: And the punishment
begins...

All: ...now.

Okay,
let's bring them in.

What is that?

[ Eerie music plays ]

Murr:
There they are.

[ Laughter ]

Oh -- what the [bleep]
is that?

Q: Those are
five-week old kittens, buddy.

Aww,
they're adorable.

Oh, God,
that looks like it was...

[ Laughter ]

Oh, it's meowing.

[ Laughter ]

One more!
Bring him one more!

Murr:
One more cat.

[Bleep] face off.

[ Laughter ]

There you go, buddy.
You survived phase one.

All right,
let's take out the kittens.

Bring in
the next phase of life.

Phase of life?

There's one other phase --
kittens, cats.

[ Laughter ]
Here we go,
bud.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Oh, my God.

Wait, wait, wait!

[ Cat meows ]

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Murr:
Here we go, bud.

[ Music continues ]

[ Laughter ]
Oh, my God.

Joe:
Those are cats!

Guys,
I can't do it.

Wait, wait, before you do it --
wait, wait, wait!

Wait.
Please -- whole wheat, please.

Before you do it,
can you just tell them -- guys.

Oh, my God.

He's scared of kittens.

Here's cat number one.

[ Cat meows ]

[ Laughter ]

There's another one.

Two cats!
[ Laughter ]

Can they sense my fear?

[ Laughter ]

Oh.

[ Laughter ]

You looked less scared when
there was a tarantula on you.

I know.
This is crazy.

Oh, my [bleep]

[ Laughter ]

My balls.

I can't do this.

I'm afraid they're gonna sense
how afraid I am.

Oh, my God.

Please, stop, they're fighting.

[ Laughter ]

[ Cat meows ]

[ Laughter ]

[ Weakly ]
Whole wheat.

Q:
Did you say, "Whole wheat"?

I couldn't hear
what you said.

The cat's sitting on your mike.
We can't hear you.

[ Laughter ]

[ Weakly ] Whole wheat.
I'm saying, "Whole wheat."

You're years old saying,
"Whole wheat" in a warehouse.

[ Laughter ]

Okay,
phase three.

Oh, what is that?

That's a steak.

Q: That's a steak.
No. No.

You've got Plexiglass
around you.

Is that
to keep things in?

Or to keep things out?

[ Laughter ]

What is that?

What is that? Please.

[ Laughter ]

Don't --
oh, you [bleep]ing assh*le.

[ Laughter ]

Let's get the last cat
in here.

The biggest and best cat
that we know.

Please, don't -- don't, please.

If this is a tiger,

do not let it
get in this thing, please.

You don't know
what these things --

they're trained --
you don't even know.

Look what happened
to Roy.

[ Laughter ]

Here we go,
the biggest cat of all.

Murr: Uh-oh.

My favorite cat.

Uh-oh!

[ Laughter ]

[Bleep] cat.

I hate
this [bleep]ing cat.

This cat
keeps coming back.

[ Laughter ]

And...

Joe:
There you go, yeah!

[ Laughter ]

Hump, Benjamin.
Benjamin, hump.

This is where Sal Vulcano
was just punished,

and now we're gonna give you

an exclusive, behind-the-scenes
look of how it all happened.

I'm also gonna show you
some bonus content

from tonight's episode.

[ Meows ]

So, what are you doing,
making sure the cage is good?

I am making sure that we are
ready to go to punish Sal.

And right now,
I'm looking at the cage.

You look like a kid
on Christmas.

I'm very excited.

Oh, my God.

[ Laughter ]

What's interesting
is that he was in this building

not too long ago.

What's racing
through his mind?

I feel like the suspense
is k*lling him.

Well, we've done a bunch of them
in this building,

so that's kind of
throwing him off.

So, even when he comes
to this building,

he won't know,
'cause we did --

I wrestled Byamba next door,
the sumo wrestler.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

[ Cheering ]

You know, Q's tarantula,
of course.

[ Screams ]

[ Laughter ]
Get it off!

You should've had him
wrestle a tarantula.

That would've been it.
Next time.

This is kind of your
brain child, this punishment.

Yeah, this is direct revenge
on Sal for the tarantulas.

Oh, so this is
just the Sal one.

This is --
oh, yeah, they're all --

they're all getting
specific punishments.

Okay, but not necessarily
always tortured?

No, no, no, no, no.

This was just a funny one
'cause I know it'll get Sal.

When I strike,
I will specifically say,

"This is because of
the tarantulas."

Wow.
Yes.

Since when do we do this,
though, by the way?

Nobody else does this.

I'm always the one
that has to be put through

this stupid [bleep]

They're doing the intro
right now,

and Sal just found out
what his punishment is.

Tarantulas cannot att*ck you
like a cat can.

He's trying
to convince you

that cats are worse
than tarantulas.

I know!
Is this guy kidding me?

What about my eyes?
Yeah,
you got two of them.

I mean,
it's funny because

he's somehow
trying to convince me

that cats are worse
than tarantulas.

The balls
on this guy.



Murr:
Look at him.

[ Laughter ]
What's the point of that?

No, the [bleep] extra.
It's done.

[ Laughter ]

I'm not going anywhere.

Well, you don't know
what's gonna join you.

[ Laughter ]

Oh, God.

I swear to God,

I thought you were gonna
bring out a [bleep] Bengal.

We're here, moments after
Sal just got punished.

At any point,
are you worried, now,

that he's gonna lose
the fear of cats?

No. Did you see him
out there?

I mean, I agree.
Look at him
right now.

Look at him,
he's soaked.

Well, thank you guys so much.
This has been so fun.

And then, what do you guys,
now, you clean up?

No, we go home.
That's it.

No, no, no, that's it.
You get to clean this mess up.

I have to clean up?

Oh, okay.



You were just on
a hidden-camera TV show

called
"Impractical Jokers,"

and I'm so sorry
for lying to you.

[ Laughter ]

She ran away!

Hey!

An ?
An ?

What are you,
nuts?

Oh, my God.
[ Laughter ]

Oh, you are a terrible
judge of character, Melissa.

You're awesome.
Thank you for giving me an .

Sal: Dude,
what are you doing?

Why are you
giving them back to me?

[ Laughter ]
