The Impractical Jokers Punishment Fans Think Is Too Painful To Watch

As fans of "Impractical Jokers" know, former firefighter Q's punishments often force him to act like a jerk in front of crowds, and sometimes children are involved. One of the most difficult to watch punishments saw Q pretend to be a loud dad in the bleachers at a Little League game. Unbeknownst to him, a young actor had been employed as his fake daughter, too.
Instructed to shout ridiculous comments, such as "Slow it down with those pitches!" Q's behavior almost gets him jumped by other parents, who watch in obvious anger as he ridicules their children and then treats his own daughter so horribly that she starts crying — especially after he yells, "Macy, you want daddy to love you or what?"
Selected by user u/njpunkmusic as the most cringeworthy punishment to watch, others on the "Impractical Jokers" subreddit agreed. U/cingerix wrote, "that one was one of the first Jokers bits i ever saw and, at the time, i thought it was his real daughter who was really crying!!! i was so relieved when i found out later that she's an actor and Q has no children," while another user commented, "I thought he was about to get jumped for real."
