Impractical Jokers: Inside Jokes Season 1 Episode 22 Hellcopter

In this episode of Impractical Jokers: Inside Jokes, the guys reveal behind-the-scenes information about the infamous "Hellcopter" challenge from Season 3 of the original Impractical Jokers series.

The challenge involves the jokers posing as helicopter tour guides and giving ridiculous and often inappropriate commentary during a tour of New York City. The twist? Each joker is wearing noise-cancelling headphones and must rely on their fellow jokers to feed them lines through a hidden earpiece.

The episode starts off with a fun fact about the challenge - it was supposed to take place during the winter but was delayed due to inclement weather. This led to the challenge being filmed in the middle of a sweltering New York summer, with temperatures reaching 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

One interesting detail about the challenge is that the jokers were actually in a real helicopter, not a soundstage or green screen. As a result, the cameras had to be carefully rigged in order to capture both the jokers and the beautiful New York City skyline.

We also learn some hilarious tidbits about the jokers' interactions with the helicopter pilot. For example, one of the jokers used the pilot's headset to talk to the passengers at one point, causing the pilot to hear everything and crack up laughing. Another joker accidentally broke one of the helicopter's controls during filming, but luckily it was quickly fixed.

As with all Impractical Jokers challenges, there were plenty of hilarious moments that didn't make it into the final cut. The guys reveal that at one point, Q accidentally referred to their tour as a "sexual flight" instead of a scenic flight - a mistake that had everyone in stitches. We also see a deleted scene where Sal tries to start a "wave" in the helicopter, but fails miserably.

One of the most memorable moments from the challenge is when the jokers convince a group of tourists to take a group selfie. However, the jokers are secretly trying to see how many ridiculous things they can do in the background without the tourists noticing. The result is a hilarious montage of the jokers making bizarre faces, posing with funny hats and glasses, and even fake fighting in the background of the tourists' photo.

The episode also sheds light on some of the challenges the jokers faced while filming on location in a helicopter. For example, the noise of the helicopter blades made it difficult for the jokers to hear their earpieces, leading to some miscommunications and missed cues. Additionally, the jokers had to be careful not to let their microphones pick up too much wind noise, which could ruin the audio quality of the episode.

Overall, "Hellcopter" remains one of the most memorable challenges from the Impractical Jokers series, and this episode of Inside Jokes gives us an entertaining and insightful look at the making of this hilarious segment.
