Ep 2. The Coward

The episode titled "The Coward" is the second episode of the ninth season of Impractical Jokers. The show follows the four friends Joe, Sal, Q, and Murr as they compete against each other in various challenges. Each challenge has a loser, and the loser must perform a humiliating punishment.

In this episode, the guys start off by posing as scientists in a park, convincing people to sign a petition to save an endangered species. The catch is that the species they are trying to save is a fictional animal called the "Ugliest Bird in the World." The guys have to see how many people they can get to sign the bogus petition before they are caught.

Next up, the guys head to a store where they must try to get people to take part in a fundraiser by making donations to a fake charity. What the guys don't know is that the charity they are raising money for is actually their own personal charity, the "Save Our Asses from Punishment Foundation."

In the third challenge, the guys are at a yacht club where they must try to get people to invest in their new line of "yacht-ready" clothing. The only problem is that the clothes they are wearing are actually just regular clothes with the sleeves cut off. The guys must see how many people they can convince to invest in their phony fashion line.

For the punishment in this episode, the loser must pose as a motivational speaker at a high school. The catch is that the loser must read a speech that was written by the other guys, and the speech is full of absurd and humiliating statements. The loser must try to keep a straight face while reading the ridiculous speech to a room full of unsuspecting high school students.

Overall, "The Coward" is a hilarious and entertaining episode of Impractical Jokers. The challenges are creative and the punishments are especially cringe-worthy. Fans of the show will not be disappointed with this episode, as it delivers the same level of absurd humor and friendly competition that viewers have come to love from the series.
