  • €˜Impractical Jokers’ Brings Brand Partnership to SDCC Block Party
    ‘Impractical Jokers’ Brings Brand Partnership to SDCC Block Party 07.24.2017 For Brian "Q" Quinn, Sal Vulcano and James "Murr" Murray, when it comes to challenges on Impractical Jokers, their limit is, well, death. "That's why I'm afraid of the series finale," Murr quipped. But six seasons in, and with Turner's truTV having ordered a seventh, it doesn't seem like he has to worry anytime soon. In fact, the trio (Joe Gatto was attending the birth of his baby girl) talked about plans for a movie and revealed an upcoming nine-episode-long punishment during the Impractical Jokers Block Party at San Diego Comic Con 2017. "It's a punishment that for the first time in Jokers, it affects the rest of the season," Murr said. Photo Credit: Kristin Craik The party at Petco Park offered experiential activations where guests got a taste for some of the pranks featured on the show. Activities included riding a mechanical bull to see if they could outlast Murr in season three, stepping into the ring for pseudo sumo wrestling (without having to wear a diaper as Joe did in season four), and getting first-hand vertigo with a VR experience of walking the same high-rise tightrope the Jokers crossed during their 100th Episode Live Spectacular. "It's truly amazing how these four guys from Staten Island have built this following," said Serge Masyra, senior VP of emerging consumers content partnerships, Turner Ignite. The one-day event drew more than 16,500 people, dwarfing last year's 12,000, and was moved to Petco Park to accommodate the growing attendance.
