Impractical Jokers

Joe, Sal, Murr and Q obey every instruction they receive while posing as dentists, carrying out the tasks exactly as told. They then compete head‑to‑head, each striving not to laugh while the opponent creates a scene in a donut shop.

Stripteased is a programme presented in an episode format that leans into a light‑hearted, sketch‑style structure. The show gathers a small group of participants and places them in deliberately absurd situations, prompting them to adopt roles that are far removed from everyday life. Its premise is built around the contrast between a professional façade and chaotic, improvised comedy. The core of the episode follows four individuals—Joe, Sal, Murr and Q—who are instructed to act as dentists and to follow any direction they receive while maintaining that pretense. Their compliance is part of the first segment, where they deliver lines and perform actions dictated by the producers, all while pretending to be dental practitioners. Once that portion wraps up, the focus shifts to a head‑to‑head challenge: each contestant must keep a straight face while the others attempt to provoke laughter. The competition takes place in a donut shop, where one participant deliberately creates a scene designed to break the others’ composure. As the “scene‑maker” ramps up the absurdity, the remaining three strive not to crack a smile, turning the simple setting into a test of self‑control. The tension between the urge to laugh and the need to stay stoic fuels the humour throughout this segment. By alternating between the obedient dentist routine and the laugh‑suppression duel, Stripteased crafts a two‑part episode that hinges on the participants’ willingness to follow orders and their ability to resist humour in a deliberately ridiculous environment.
