The Impractical Jokers Episode That Hurt Not One, But Two Cast Members

By JASON CONNOLLY

There's something incredibly hilarious about watching the “Impractical Jokers” try their hardest to embarrass one another, especially when a performance goes horribly wrong. That said, not every mistake on the show is lighthearted or funny, particularly one back in Season 5 that almost left two cast members seriously injured.

The episode in question is the Season 5 finale, which saw several of the jokers taking on an X Games-inspired obstacle course to help raise money for a charity of their choice. During an interview on a podcast, Brian “Q” Quinn, revealed that he broke several ribs while preparing for the obstacle course, after accidentally flipping his quad bike.

With Q sidelined for the actual obstacle course competition, his co-star Joe Gatto smashed his head against a door during his attempt at the course and stayed on the ground for a few moments after the hit. Joe ended up being okay, but later revealed he stayed down because he thought he was going into cardiac arrest.
