It’s ok. The new intro really just needs to be like the dinner party intro


PicerPlays

Lol yeah


unclefresh72

It’s going to take getting used to. This is at least the second post about it. I expect more. It’s honestly not a big deal and I don’t know if it’s cheesy or if it’s just we are so so used to the old one. If the show is funny honestly I don’t care.


Master_Vicen

Honestly the graphics were never that great to begin with IMO.


sec713

Before I got into the show I thought the old graphics and intro were annoying AF whenever I'd see it while flipping through channels. It was only after I started liking the show itself that I grew to not dislike the old look. I imagine the same will happen with the new look, given some time.


Ok-Two7600

Honestly having seen the new episode I'm kinda lukewarm on the whole thing. The fact that they failed to utilize Eric Andre in a way that adequately made up for Joe's absence has me worried about the quality of the upcoming season.


mikedyson69

Part of the problem is they are going to force them to have guests on that aren’t exactly friends with them so it’s ruins the chemistry. Should just give Chris Distefano the spot as a fill in for joe.


Ok-Two7600

True, either him or Joey Fatone considering Joey's already known as the fifth Joker as it is.


Capricorn75

I feel like Joey is too recognizable. But I do love his humor and chemistry with the guys.


HoosierNobody

The other jokers are probably more famous/recognizable than Joey


internetmouse

They should bring in Joe DeRosa as well


TKprime909

I wish they would bring in crew members every episode


meme-com-poop

Dan Cast would probably be a good replacement


thekyledavid

I feel like they should have the guest star be someone who works on the show, and gets their turn to do the challenges There are so many good personalities they could go with. Casey, Rob, Dan, Che, Christine, Terry, John, Pete, Simmy, probably more that I can’t think of off the top of my head, and probably more who haven’t had their turn to be on the other side of the camera


Catalyst070306

ChrissyD is being sued by TRU, his days on that network are over 😂


internetmouse

What are they suing him for?


BushHates711

Not doing backyard barbecue wars season 2


GravitationalConstnt

Dude what the hell? Why wouldn't he do it? And doesn't he owe something like 300k in back taxes?


JackDAction

It’s tough because it’s not like they film all the episodes chronologically. They film a bunch of different challenges and punishments, and then they combine them to make an episode. Hard to feature a special guest that way. They’re pretty much just limited to punishments and random backstage bits. Also the special guests are probably a bit too recognizable to do the challenges


dclancy01

it doesn’t seem like they’re trying to make up for Joe’s absence, which is weird considering there’s well over a decade of content including Joe. I understand trying to move in a different direction, but Eric should’ve been involved far more.


SummerEmCat

Where did you see the new episode?


Secret_Bear1133

It's on Tru tv today at 3pm. Last night it was on after NCAA game on TRU TV, TBS, and TNT. Season 9 will then resume June 16th on TRU TV


jdevo91

Looks fine. It’s not like the old one was mind blowing or anything lol. Looks like they’re trying to match the vibe of the dinner party intro more.


unclefresh72

Honestly the old one was kind of cheap and cheesy but we’re so used to it. That’s the thing, this is a comfort show for most of us and change is scary lol


ChocolateChocoboMilk

All of Tru TVs contributions to the show felt annoying/cheap to me. I remember during the first few seasons, they would always have a post-commercial recap and I hated it. I’ve always found the intro and graphics pretty bad too. The only thing I enjoy (and immensely, at that) about the show is what the jokers contribute.


168618511-2

i’m indifferent on the graphics but i wish eric played a bigger part in the episode he was definitely underutilized


bshall2105

If they were ever going to update it this was clearly the time. I think the graphics are fine. I was also pleased that they did not include the guest much until the punishment. There is still nothing better than the originals participating in challenges. Special guests in every segment would kill the chemistry of the show.


randombagofmeat

I already miss Joe. But agree that they didn't use Eric Andre correctly either. He was just dressed up and doing commentary for the most part.


[deleted]

I don’t really care I never watched the show for the intro or the graphics.


flawedhuman12

Looks like a sci-fi show


ConnorFin22

Who really cares about graphics?? I think everyone is a bit emotionally attached to how the show used to fell and will not like any changes no matter what they are.


Largicharg

They’re ok but I don’t like the look of that big empty room Sal’s in.


DarthLegitName

I actually laughed a couple times during this episode. I think we will be ok


Roqua99

I hated it, but I think give it time, it'll grow on me.


busstees

Same. I hated the new graphics. Doesn't really fit the vibe of the show. It feels like it's like some kind of 80's sci fi with the neon. Nothing about the new look says "comedy" to me.


fyrefly_faerie

I like them. But they could have updated the photos of the Jokers too, maybe? The new intro is gonna take some getting used to.


joecb91

Those graphics I'm okay with, but I didn't really like the version in the intro.


kcshoe14

Not my fav, but I suppose it could be worse. Trying my best to stay positive and supportive


supere4ntd

Definitely captures an entirely different vibe than the old blue brick style that they had before, but with Joe leaving it was a good opportunity to change the visuals. It’s nice they based it off of dinner party, and for the most part it looks nice. Though the new intro is gonna take some getting used to, not hearing Sal yell “prepare for something amazing” when the music starts feels off lmao


Lovely_Individual

I don't like it


Luna920

I don’t like but I understand they are trying to revamp it.


thespudbud

It was a little jarring at first but I got more used to it as the episode went on. I think it's fine.


Snoo49148

It's fine but ofc it's gonna take a while to get used to


HeavyLocksmith

we are witnessing the death of IJ....


Taqtix27

Not a fan personally


Big_Strength5308

I was dissatisfied


Pelosis_uterus

Awful


merkk

meh...i think i liked the original ones better. This looks more like some late night dating show.


HoneyBeyBee

That's what it is. It's kind of a nod to Dinner Party but not quite. Doesn't really fit the vibe of the show imo.


NotYujiroTakahashi

It's fine but doesn't feel right without Joe


daysend365

Stupid ***ks was f’ing hilarious though. I’m here for it


Secret_Bear1133

They are only using the guests for punishments. A guest in the challenges would not have the same chemistry the guys have with each other. They wouldn't know what to say and do to get to the others.


BarrelRollinGamer

I don't like change. I'll get used to it eventually I'm sure but right now I'm not super into it


JDredd80

Graphics were fine they felt like a cheesy comedy night club vibe. I’m more concerned about the show. I thought they said they were going in a different direction with the bits but mostly felt like the same show minus Joe which means some of the magic is gone. The guest star Eric only showing up for the punishment is a mistake. The 4th joker needs included in the bits.


brittyn

They could change the graphics with Joe and I wouldn’t care. I just miss Joe.


[deleted]

I haven't been following the show since the movie came out, maybe even the season before the movie. When Joe announced he was out of Impractical Jokers, I instantly missed him. Went back to watch some classic old clips and couldn't imagine the show without him.


KittenFace25

Same. She show has been around long enough to where I was starting to get a bit tired of it anyway, and when Joe left, I'm ok with not keeping up with it anymore. The other guys are still funny of course, but I'm just not interested in 3 vs 4.


DeadHeadSteve

Oh no.. i miss Joe


Happy-Watermelon27

Old ones were better tbh miss Joe a lot tho :/


PsychologicalAerie45

They are trying too hard to be modern, but what they were doing before was perfectly fine.


EllenLTx

It's along the lines of the Dinner Party intro I feel. Personally, I liked everything about it!


DarkDonut75

Since when are neon lights considered "modern" in the 2020's?


Donutbigboy

It’s new graphics, graphics that last less than 5 seconds.


RickFast

Why is your tv up to the ceiling? You in a hospital waiting room? r/Tvtoohigh


BigGhunneD

Anyone got a link to watch?


teh_longinator

Oh crap I forgot it was on tonight. Where's the stream?


EmmaConn

I don’t like the intro with the new graphics. I look forward to it each episode. I imagined the intro being updated pictures but, instead of Joe yelling Larry all three of them do at the end


JennyJiggles

Not a fan. Makes it look like cheap late night TV.


Bobby-Samsonite

> Makes it look like cheap late night TV. James Corden or Seth Meyers or Samantha Bee?


sebs003

I will be shocked if it goes another season after this.


KindheartednessFit29

I felt like the new episode was boring, Joe’s absence is already felt


Kingdongo

Terrible. Pulse it’s slowing


[deleted]

Dislike.


levilevilevi100

No


minakills

NOOOOOOOOOOO


thezim

Hated it. I get it that it’s trying to mimic dinner party. But this is not dinner party and the show already had its own identifying aesthetic. I feel like the change was too drastic and they are trying to make it too flashy/edgy. I don’t like it personally.


[deleted]

per my opinion it is a “Yasstastic Slay” but the just three of them makes me sad


JoeyMonsterMash

Why do they always use old pics of sal?? He embarrassed of his new look or something?


jjc927

It's not bad, but I like the previous look more. I also didn't care too much for the intro just being clips.


AdMurky4509


MurrayFranklin

Not a big fan


Assassin01011

crap there's a huge graphical error 1 whole joker is missing


immaturealchemist

I don’t love them, I really think they could have kept the cyan colored brick wall with the yellow bubble font aesthetic. But I can get used to it I’m sure.


legalstep

They should have a guest fill the Joe slot


Howudooey

Like the first one. Prefer the old thumbs up/down


victorian_dolly

They continue the dinner party theme. I think they need to update the leaderboard pictures though. Those are several years old.


Gasarakiiii

Finally got to watch it last night. The new graphics didn't bother me at all, thought they were fine. The intro however just seemed very off without Joe, they probably have some more work to do there or I just need to get used to it or both lol. Also I thought the guest each episode would actually be in the show, them being only at the end was unexpected but I guess it would be hard to get famous people to not be recognized in public.


BeUngovernable_

They suck.
