In the long history of Sal's "Impractical Jokers" punishments, he's gotten some pretty rough ones. A few noteworthy examples include Murr marrying his sister while he was forced to watch and the time he was forced to derail a bingo game. While these and others are certainly bad, fans don't seem to think Sal gets the worst punishments of the core four "Impractical Jokers" stars. According to the program's Reddit community, specifically in a thread by u/Mental_mango444, the consensus is that Murr has been plagued by the worst punishments of anyone.
"Hands down, I think it's Murr," the original post said, listing off several horrific examples of past Murr punishments. In response, numerous Redditors commented in agreement. u/jbabs95 noted that Murr always ends up physically and mentally tormented by his punishments, with u/HelpImAwake expressing that some of them are just plain mean. As for u/inchandywetrust, they don't think Murr has the worst single punishment in the show's run, but collectively, they think he's had more unbearable ones than his companions. At the same time, many feel that Sal is a very close second.
Sure, Sal may get punished more often than his fellow "Impractical Jokers" stars, but at least he hasn't been saddled with as many scarring, frightening, and downright mean punishments as Murr.
