In this episode of Impractical Jokers: Inside Jokes, the focus is on the Nitro Circus Spectacular. The guys went to the Nitro Circus to watch the show, and of course, test out their own stunt abilities. The episode starts off with a trivia question that has to do with Joe Gatto. The answer is revealed later on in the episode.
The guys are excited to go to the Nitro Circus, but they're also nervous about trying out their own stunts. Sal Vulcano admits that he's afraid of heights and has never done a flip in his life. Murr, on the other hand, is confident in his abilities but gets nervous when he realizes that Nitro Circus has some of the best riders in the world.
During the show, the guys get involved in a stunt where they have to ride BMX bikes through fire. Joe quickly realizes that he's not good at this, and falls off his bike several times. He eventually gives up and has to walk his bike through the rest of the stunt. The other guys do better, but they all agree that it's a lot harder than it looks.
After the show, the guys get to test out their own stunts. They each have to ride a bike off of a ramp and into a pile of boxes. Joe is up first and he's nervous. He tries to psych himself up by yelling "Nitro Circus!" but it doesn't seem to help. He manages to make the jump, but his landing isn't very smooth. Sal is up next, and he's even more nervous than Joe. He hesitates at the top of the ramp, but eventually makes the jump. Murr and Q both do better, but Murr gets a little too cocky and almost crashes.
The episode also includes a behind-the-scenes look at how the guys filmed one of their most popular challenges, the "No Laughing Challenge." The challenge involves the guys trying not to laugh while doing silly things like pretending to be security guards or giving ridiculous speeches. We learn that the guys often have to do multiple takes of these challenges because they can't stop laughing.
There's also a segment where we learn more about Sal's fear of cats. Apparently, he's so scared of them that he can't even look at pictures of cats without feeling uneasy. The segment includes some funny footage of Sal reacting to pictures of cats.
In another segment, we learn about the origins of the name "Impractical Jokers." Apparently, the guys came up with the name because they wanted to emphasize the fact that they were doing something that was completely ridiculous and impractical.
Overall, this episode is a fun look at the Nitro Circus Spectacular and includes some interesting behind-the-scenes tidbits about the show. It's also a good reminder that even when the guys are trying to be daredevils, they're still just a bunch of regular guys who sometimes get nervous or make mistakes.
