Sex and nudity in Impractical Jokers: The Movie
Moderate. Several pranks are built around sexual and suggestive humor. In one scene, Q must play a video for an audience that includes his parents acting out the intro to a fake 'softcore porn' film. In another, Murr is surprised by his family while at a club with scantily-clad women and is later shown wearing a pink thong. The humor is consistently juvenile and based on awkwardness.
Violence and gore in Impractical Jokers: The Movie
Mild and almost entirely slapstick or prank-related. In an opening flashback, a young Sal is comically clotheslined by Paula Abdul. Later, Sal is tasered by a security guard and collapses. A running punishment involves one Joker being put in a situation of perceived peril, such as being locked in a room with a tiger or strapped to the wing of a flying biplane, though these are played for laughs and no one is seriously injured.
Language in Impractical Jokers: The Movie
Moderate. The dialogue includes common profanity like 'shit,' 'damn,' 'ass,' and 'bitch.' There are also two bleeped uses of 'pussy.' The film contains a single, non-sexual use of the 'F-word', which is the strongest instance of profanity.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Impractical Jokers: The Movie
Mild. There is social drinking at parties. One significant prank involves a Joker trying to convince a stranger to help him with his car, which has a trunk full of bags of fake cocaine powder. The prank is based on making the stranger believe they are witnessing a drug deal, but no actual drugs are used.
Mature themes in Impractical Jokers: The Movie
The central theme is comedic humiliation. The entire premise revolves around the Jokers forcing each other into intensely embarrassing and awkward public situations for laughs. Scenes include giving a bizarre eulogy to strangers, being publicly shamed, and failing at assigned tasks in front of crowds. The friendship between the four men is also a core element.
