My guilty pleasure every Thursday night at 10 PM EST is the comedy show Impractical Jokers. Joe Gatto, James "Murr" Murray, Brian "Q" Quinn, and Sal Vulcano are the men who make me cry laughing every week.My personal favorite joker is Sal, I think it's because he's just as anxious about little things as I am. Which is why most of the pictures in this article are featuring him. These guys have been friends since high school and have always made each other do the ridiculous things they do on TV. I think that is what makes this show so relatable. So here are 12 ways in which I related to the Jokers, and I think you will to.
1. Things do not always go as they were planned.
Sometimes, shit happens. As I person who has every detail of her day planned out, when things don't work out I freak out. But sometimes you just have to lift yourself up and move on with your day.
2. Sometimes, you just do not understand what is going on.
This kind of stuff is what gets me the most. I hate being confused in situations. This unsuspecting victim of the Joker's prank just could not take the confusion any longer.
3. Coming face-to-face with your fears can be scary as shit.
Let's face the facts. Facing your fears can be one of the hardest things you will have to go through. Sometimes, you're going to let out a curse word, or two, or maybe even all of them, throughout the process. I know whenever I get on a Ferris Wheel parents need to make sure their children are not on the ride, unless they wish to provide their children with a free curse word crash course.
4. Flirting does not always go as smoothly as planned.
To be completely honest, I'm equally ecstatic and confused about my current relationship. With my flirting skills, I'm surprised I have made it this far.
5. You can always mess with your friends' social media accounts.
Not going to lie, I do this ALL THE TIME. Mostly it's liking random Instagram pages to freak them out the next time they are on the app on their own.
6. I'm not clumsy, things are just always in my way.
As an individual who can trip over a pebble, I connect with Sal on a spiritual level on this.
7. Dance parties can happen where ever when you are with your friends.
In the car, in your basement...you name it. With a group of loyal friends and good music on, it will become a dance party. Even if the music is just a catchy TV commercial jingle.
8. Sometimes going to the gym does not always work out for you.
This past summer I have been going to the gym almost religiously. But there was days where I just don't want to get my ass off of that bike because I was too comfortable and the stair master was too intimidating.
9. Public speaking can be torture.
To this day, I avoid public speaking like the plague. My least favorite part of school is when the teacher would ask the students to tell the class a little bit about themselves. I was so excited for college because I thought that shit was over, but guess what kids...it's not. If you have a class of 25 or less, the professor will more than likely ask you to introduce yourself to the class. That shit just isn't fun.
10. You will stop whatever you are doing when you hear juicy gossip.
Whether you're out having dinner, shopping or minding your own business at a coffee shop, whenever someone starts talking smack about people you tune out everything else in the world in order to hear what they are saying. Does it matter to me that I don't know who Suzie is or who her boyfriend John is? No. But I want to know all the gossip surrounding their life JUST IN CASE I ever run into them in this small town.
11. Sometimes you just do not know what to do with children.
As a babysitter, I could not relate more. I LOVE taking care of children, but sometimes they drive me crazy.
12. How you hate most people.
To be completely honest, there is a very small population on this Earth that I do not want to throw bricks at.
If you would like to see the hilarity of this show, tune into TruTV on Thursday nights at 10 PM EST. You will not regret it.
