Ep 3. Captain Fatbelly

The show Impractical Jokers features four lifelong friends, Joe, Sal, Q, and Murr, who engage in hilarious and outrageous public pranks. In season 7 episode 3, titled "Captain Fatbelly," the guys take to the streets of New York to see who can embarrass themselves the most.

The episode opens with the guys sitting in a restaurant, discussing their latest challenge. They must approach strangers with bizarre requests, such as asking for a bite of their food or trying to get them to pose for a picture with a ridiculous prop. The joker who completes the fewest challenges will face a punishment at the end of the episode.

The first challenge involves the jokers pretending to be tour guides in Central Park. They must give a tour to a group of unsuspecting tourists and make up facts about the park. For example, one joker claims that the park was built on top of an abandoned zoo, and points out non-existent animal cages. Another joker claims that the park is home to a rare species of "singing rats." The tourists seem amused and somewhat confused by the jokers' bizarre tour guide skills.

Next, the guys head to a busy street corner where they must convince strangers to let them use their phones. However, they have a catch: they must perform a ridiculous dance before making the call. One joker does the "Chicken Dance," while another does a flamenco-inspired routine. The third joker opts for an interpretive dance, while the fourth does a hip-hop number. Surprisingly, most people are willing to let the jokers use their phones, even after their performances.

In another challenge, the guys must approach strangers and ask them to take their picture with an unusual prop. For example, one joker asks a woman to take a picture of him with a giant stuffed bear, while another asks a man to photograph him with a fake traffic cone. The jokers must also come up with a creative backstory for the prop. One joker claims that the traffic cone was a gift from his "cone-loving grandma," while another claims that the stuffed bear is a gift for his "bear-loving girlfriend." Most people are willing to play along with the jokers' strange requests, although they seem a bit bewildered by the whole experience.

In perhaps the most outrageous challenge of the episode, the guys must walk around with a giant foam finger and ask strangers to "poke" them with it. The jokers take turns wearing the foam finger, and must convince as many people as possible to give them a poke. The catch: they must pretend that the foam finger is a precious family heirloom, and act as though they are deeply offended if someone doesn't treat it with respect. As usual, the jokers pull off this challenge with hilarious results.

At the end of the episode, the guys meet up to see who completed the most challenges. They tally up the scores and reveal the loser, who must face a humiliating punishment. Without giving anything away, it's safe to say that this episode's punishment is not for the faint of heart.

Overall, "Captain Fatbelly" is a highly entertaining episode of Impractical Jokers, full of the absurd and cringe-worthy antics that fans have come to expect from the show. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a newcomer to the series, this episode is sure to make you laugh out loud.
