Further details

Based on the hit US hidden camera comedy show, the series sees four best friends compete in a series of challenges, turning everyday situations into outrageously funny and embarrassing tests by breaking all the rules of British politeness.

David, Matt, Lee and Paul take turns to be told what to do and what to say via a hidden earpiece. They have to put themselves through whatever torturous public pranks their friends can dream up, because if they refuse, they have to undergo an even more mortifying forfeit. In this merciless fight, there are no winners--only losers.

In the first challenge, the Jokers compete to add as many scoops of peas as they can to other diners' plates, whether the diners want them or not.

They then head to Brighton beach to sell swimwear designed by their friends by modelling it themselves. How will David get on wearing a half man-thong in public? What about Paul's edible bikini?

The third challenge requires working as salesmen in a furniture shop, while doing anything but selling furniture. Whoever ends up as this episode's loser faces a horrific toesucking forfeit as his punishment.
