Synopsis:
Lifelong friends Sal, Joe, Murr and Q return for the third season of Impractical Jokers to compete to embarrass each other in the craziest and most humiliating ways yet. With episode titles like “Make Womb for Daddy,” “Junk in the Trunk,” and “Baggage Shame,” the foursome take entertainment and laughter to the next level.
Get ready for plenty of kooky mayhem and nonstop hilarity when everyone’s favorite group of goofballs returns yet again, making every attempt possible to humiliate each other during the most elaborate pranks imaginable and bringing some wild new levels of punishment to the mix for the losing parties. The fun and laughs don’t pause for a moment as this season Joe, Murr, Sal and Q do everything from wreaking havoc at singles’ events, tennis lessons and a video game store, while also taunting the hapless customers as they weakly attempt to adapt the roles of everything from deli waiters, liquor store customer service and questionable bellhops.
Fans of TruTV’s wonderfully ridiculous and at times almost painfully hilarious series ‘Impractical Jokers’ will almost certainly want to make sure to pick up a copy of ‘Impractical Jokers: The Complete Third Season’ on DVD to add to their collections. While expected, it should be noted that the release includes the standard 2.0 Dolby Digital Audio tracks for the episodes, not 5.1 tracks as listed on the rear of the case.

VIDEO:

AUDIO:
The DVD release includes a lossy 2.0 channel Dolby Digital soundtrack on all 32 season three episodes. These lossy stereo soundtracks are nothing extraordinary, yet they deliver in nearly every aspect required of them, providing a fairly clean and clear audio presentation on each episode, never with any conflictions resulting from the activity sharing the two channels and never causing any dialogue which may be occurring simultaneously with other auditory elements to become distorted or rendered inaudible. Overall, these are capable 2.0 Dolby Digital soundtracks that hold up and deliver in every way required.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
