In 1994
Staten Island, a group of four teenage friends,
Joe Gatto,
Sal Vulcano,
James Murray and
Brian Quinn sneak into a
Paula Abdul concert disguised as security personnel. However, they accidentally ruin the concert after Joe jumps out on stage and poorly acts as a
hype man. The outcome embarrasses them and angers Abdul, who delivers a
clothesline blow to Sal and vows to get her revenge on the Jokers. However, the incident inspires them to do practical joke challenges as a comedy gimmick. 25 years later, in 2019, the four became celebrities as a result of their TV show,
Impractical Jokers, but were surprised to see Abdul at a
Red Lobster. Abdul approaches but admits she is a huge fan and invites them to a party in
Miami. However, shortly after Paula leaves, the group realizes she gave them only three tickets instead of four, meaning that one person cannot go. To decide who will be left out, they decide to
road trip to Miami using Q's
Crown Vic. while competing with each other in hidden-camera challenges; the one who loses will not get the ticket. Some of the significant challenges include: reading a
eulogy to folks outside the
Lincoln Memorial in
Washington, D.C. and getting the listeners' approval; on a boat ride near
Myrtle Beach in the Carolina coast, convincing passengers not to pick up someone in distress; getting
roadside assistance from strangers; and interviewing for a staff job with the
Atlanta Hawks while being fed silly actions and lines by the others. Individual challenges and pranks also arise. Sal gets locked in a motel room with a chained
white tiger. Q must ride a horse while wearing a
gladiator uniform to meet the others. Murr visits a club with scantily-clad women, only to be surprised by his family wishing him happy birthday behind a two-way mirror. Joe dresses like a
cave troll to surprise a tour group. Q gives a presentation at a social media conference but the videotape footage includes a bit of his real parents acting out lead-in scenes of softcore porn. Sal attends a fan party featuring
Jaden Smith, dressed as Jaden's number-one fan. He shows off his tattoo of Smith from a previous season, but Smith has Sal get an updated one on his other thigh. When they arrive in Miami, Murr becomes the loser, so he has to stay behind while the others go to the party until he decides to sneak into the show using the same security disguise from 1994. This results in Abdul recognizing them from when they crashed her concert 25 years ago. Sal gets tasered, but Joe hypes the crowd into cheering for them. The next day, with
Joey Fatone in the background at
Miami Beach, Joe tells the Jokers that he received an offer to go on tour with Abdul as a hype man, but turned it down. Since Murr snuck into the party, the others subjected him to one last punishment. Joe, Q, and Sal fly back to Staten Island on a private jet, while Murr rides harnessed to the top wing of a stunt plane. ==Cast==
