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?

Impractical jokers definitely isnt scripted when theyre out doing challenges. The main caveat is that the places of business they do skits at already know theyre there, but that should be obvious. However, I think it worked a lot better in the first few seasons since at first they were absolute unknowns. In some of those behind the scenes episodes, the guys admit that its been a lot harder to film recently since theyre pretty famous now. If people recognize them, they basically cant or dont wanna use that interaction in the final episode so yeah. Also, there have been a lot of near fights on the show from people that didnt take kindly to the jokers but you only hear about them on the behind the scenes episodes.
