History Trivia / ImpracticalJokers

* {{Corpsing}}: Naturally, the guys very often completely break down laughing at the others' antics during a challenge, at least OnceAnEpisode by this point. Some of the challenges, like Laugh Man Standing, Now You See Me, and Cranjis [=McBasketball=], invoke this specifically; whoever corpses the most times loses, or, in the case of Laugh Man Standing, whoever laughs is out of the game until there is only one Joker remaining. Sal is, by far, the worst offender here; it doesn't take much to have him falling to the floor doubled over laughing. This has been lampshaded InUniverse by the guys multiple times over the course of the series.

** While filming in the park, one of the bystanders was a chatty foreigner who didn't understand the challenge going on and proceeded to talk to Joe for so long that the background music switched to melancholy trumpets as the challenge ground to a halt.

* OldShame: Back when Murr was in college, he made a movie with a couple of his college roommates, entitled ''Damned!'', which was about God banishing a teenage Jesus to modern (1998) day New York. To say it wasn't good would be an understatement. This would later become the basis of one of his punishments, where the guys had it screened to some film students and then held an impromptu Q&A panel. It was here where it was revealed Murr's father was going to buy him a car with the money that would become the film's budget, but Murr asked if he could use the money to make the film. [=TruTV=] has since put the entire film on their website, calling it "Murr's Bad Movie," which the Jokers did a [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]]-style riff of on Twitter. The movie can be viewed for free on [=YouTube=] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwAWwLtSX7I here]].

** The show has such popularity these days that every single day features it being run on Creator/TruTV for between 12 to 15 hours, with other shows being saved for the early mornings or late nights (or midday for ''Series/WorldsDumbest'').

* BannedEpisode: After Joe's departure from the show and his separation from his wife, certain episodes were pulled from airing on Creator/TruTV and streaming on Creator/HBOMax. Most notably, "The Dream Crusher" (where the Jokers brought in Joe's then wife during a challenge involving kissing people at the mall) and "Bull Shiatsu" (where Joe hid in a massage chair for a punishment) are absent.

* MissingEpisode: In one unaired challenge, the Jokers took turns being cashiers while being instructed to do and say whatever they're told. Murr nonchalantly told Prince Herb to take a picture of a shopper's credit card with his cell phone. He did, and the shopper called the police. Thankfully, the Jokers got off easy when the officers who showed up turned out to be fans of the show.

** This served as the basis of one of Herb's punishments, which was originally going to be another challenge the guys were all going to do. The task was to block a shot from a water gun that was fired by a kid, followed by an embarrassing line. However, the first time this was attempted, the kid tripped, thus ruining the scene and forcing them to retry it. The second time, the kid chose a target that was about to leave, prompting Herb to do nothing as he wanted the target to stay sitting. It was at this time that the Jokers decided to change this from a challenge to a punishment for Herb, which had him do countless retakes of a scene that was set up to fail each time. [[LampshadeHanging This was even alluded to when Murr asked Q if the rules can let them do that]].

** In one punishment, Herb had to abandon a boat tour and go kayaking across the Hudson River. No one expected the rough waters to throw Herb off the canoe, and it was left in.

** Murr's tooth unexpectedly fell out right as the Jokers were beginning a challenge to get strangers to take selfies with them (Q had barely started his turn when Murr's tooth fell out). Since he didn't want his picture taken with a missing tooth, Murr took a loss for the challenge, which made him the episode's big loser. His punishment was to have his selfie taken anyway.

** The Jokers contemplated doing the "Did I Deserve That?" challenge with [[PieInTheFace pies]]. They thought it was too over the top, so they changed that to cups of water.
