“We really don’t see the problem,” said Impractical Joker Sal Vulcano moments after using an invisible earpiece to command Murr to take a baby out of its crib and shake it as hard as possible in front of a crowd. “REAL fans of REAL pranks are gonna think this prank is hilarious. But everyone was saying that this is the final straw and that if we do this, not only are they gonna pull the show from TruTV, but they might actually send us to prison. Clearly, only we, The Impractical Jokers, can handle this kind of uncensored humor. Hoo boy, this is gonna be so embarrassing for Murr!”

“Hey guys, I’m actually not sure about this one,” said Murr, now several minutes into an epic prank where he was forced by decree to grab a three-month-old baby and vigorously shake it above his head like a bartender making a cocktail as onlookers watched in horror. “I know I’m Tonight’s Big Loser, but I’m seeing the police cruisers pulling up outside, and I’m actually thinking that this prank might be too Impractical, even for us, the Impractical Jokers.”

At press time, obstacle course game show American Ninja Warrior received backlash for experimentally incorporating real, armed ninjas.
