In Poor Taste Buds is the twenty-first episode of Impractical Jokers: Inside Jokes season 1. In this particular episode, the four jokers Joe, Q, Sal, and Murr, execute their outrageous pranks while presenting food to both customers and restaurant employees.

The episode starts with Joe's punishment, where he has to feed a customer while Murr and Sal give him ridiculous instructions through an earpiece. In the same segment, we see that Joe, who has a fear of germs, had to roll around in a pile of used napkins as a part of his punishment. Interestingly, the episode reveals that it took Joe and the production team a few attempts to pull off this punishment as the target customer did not respond to Joe's antics initially.

It is revealed that this segment found varying degrees of success, with some customers liking the food regardless of the terrible smell.

Later in the episode, we see Sal posing as an employee at a pizzeria who has a unique talent of flicking garlic knots from a distance. The segment shows the jokers bringing in "plants" (actors pretending to be customers) who react with an equal measure of hilarity and confusion. Interestingly, In this segment, the jokers had a tough time flicking the garlic knots, and the final edit used the one successful throw that Sal performed all day.

In the final segment, the jokers take out random food items from strangers' bags and use them to make personalised chef's specials at a restaurant. The jokers had to come up with recipe names and customer recommendations on the fly, resulting in hilarious exchanges between them. This segment reveals that Q had to act as a customer earlier for the restaurant to let them film, and he nearly gave the whole gag away.
