Impractical Jokers Is Must Watch TV, Has Nothing To Do With Poker


This post has absolutely nothing to do with poker, but we were recently introduced to the show Impractical Jokers on TruTV.

The show is about four lifelong friends who like to fuck with each other. They set up various pranks and there’s sort of a loser every show who doesn’t complete the most aforementioned pranks.

The above clip has some pure gold. Particularly go to about the 4:20 mark (wassup Pauly!) and watch the mall caricature segment.

In completely unrelated news, Full Tilt still isn’t operational and no one has received any money back from them. Maybe they’re playing an impractical joke on us all.

Caption This


Yeah, there are some obvious jokes, but let's see how creative you can be. Caption this...

Been awhile since we’ve done a Caption This.

The above photo is of Bill Perkins at the 2012 PCA High Rollers (photo credit: Neil Stoddart and Poker News). Clearly, there are some obvious jokes you could make, but let’s see how creative you can be.

We’ll select one winner from the Comments for a free subscription to Wicked Chops Insider.

Have at it.

One More Time for PIUS HEINZ


It’s so inexplicably weird and random that it’s kind of awesome.

For whatever reason, whenever PIUS HEINZ won a hand, his German supporters in the crowd began singing “Na na na na na na na na now, Pius Heinz, Pius Pius Heinz” to the tune of KC & the Sunshine Band‘s “Baby Give it Up.” It happened, oh, maybe 100 times over the past few days.

So for us and all of the other poker media–the song is embedded in our head and likely will be for awhile.

It’s not like this song was popular the year when PIUS HEINZ was born. It came out about a decade before he was conceived. And as far as we know, it’s not like this song is the German equivalent of say, “Don’t Stop Believing” for us. Or that “Baby Give it Up” sounds anything like “PIUS HEINZ.” It’s…just…random.

So enjoy the song one more time for the 2011 WSOP Main Event winner. Off to iTunes to download it now. Dammit.

Isaac, You Are Not the Father Is The New Andrew, You Are Not the Father


As regular readers of our site know, we love the Maury Povich DNA paternity test shows. Riveting TV. We think these shows should be in prime-time. Just as quality television as Mad Men, Community, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Walking Dead and American Idol.

And as you know, of all of the potential fathers who were not the father, Andrew (here) is by far and away our favorite.

However, Andrew now has a challenger to his throne.

Meet Isaac (above video).

The one minute and forty seconds of this video is so captivating, we’d confidently stack it up again almost any one minute and forty seconds of video ever produced. You’ll be glued. We’re so impressed with it, in fact, we breakdown all key elements of the video after the jump.
