Linda Stasi New York Post 11/06/2018
Possibly the funniest, most ridiculous show I've seen in years. Go to Full Review
Neil Genzlinger New York Times 11/05/2018
Once in a while one of the four simply refuses to execute a challenge because it's in such bad taste. Although this results in a forfeit, such displays of occasional integrity keep these four clowns a little bit lovable. Go to Full Review
Brian Lowry Variety 11/05/2018
Nobody will ever confuse "Impractical Jokers" with high art, certainly, but as low-brow, micro-cost comedy in the context of TruTV's programming resources, it's actually quite practical - and occasionally funny. Go to Full Review
