I love Impratical Jokers. I wonder how much of it is scripted though. On the other hand, pretty much all of the Carbonaro Effect is scripted. I remember on the first season the dude asked the chick if she's ever heard of the show called the Carbonaro Effect and she said "yeah that magic prank show on TruTV?" How the fuck would you know that if the first season didn't even air yet?

The conversations the jokers have among themselves are scripted, their interactions with the public are not as the entire point of the show is how their actions affect the people around them and their own reactions to having to do stuff around people like making Sal piss himself while locked in a room with strangers or making Q steal a bunch of pissed off metal fan's money by pretending to take cover charges or when Joe had to steal autographed baseballs from people.

Oh, and it gets better about Carbonaro, a show usually films for a year before official airing so not only did that lady know the show, she apparently knew it while the show was being filmed for the very first time. It's so fake it take me out of it and they don't make any attempts to hide it.
