Impractical Jokers' Murr Made A Movie (& It's Worse Than You Could Imagine)

Way back in 1998, James Murray directed, wrote, and appeared in a low-budget production titled "Damned!" An absurd comedy at its core, the film takes on three famous Biblical stories and sets them in a modern context. With its late-1990s student film aesthetic, far from Oscar-worthy performances, and amateur writing, "Damned!" is low-budget filmmaking in its purest form. If you're interested in checking it out for yourself, you can watch it in its entirety for free by simply looking it up on YouTube.

Considering how few people knew about "Damned!" for many years of its existence, it's no stretch to say that the film didn't launch Murr into Hollywood superstardom. Although, thanks to the project that would ultimately make him a household name, "Impractical Jokers," the movie would find some mainstream attention. For the Season 8 episode "Damned If You Do," Sal, Q, and Joe dusted off "Damned!" for Murr's punishment. He had no choice but to sit through a screening of the film alongside a legitimate film critic and a packed theater audience. Worse yet, once the screening concluded, he had to endure a string of questions about it.

Murr remains embarrassed by it, viewers like Redditor u/danarbok clearly don't care for it, and "Impractical Jokers" made it a punchline. If nothing else, at least Murr gave it his best shot and gave "Impractical Jokers" fans a laugh.
