Most of the top punishments on "Impractical Jokers" involve Sal and Murr, but when Q loses, the payoff is fatal. One of his most memorable punishments is seen in Season 3's "Just Say No," where — as the title suggests — Q's punishment is to go out onto a baseball field, stand on the pitchers' mound, and say no to everything he interacts with. What he doesn't know is that a beautiful woman is waiting in the wings to publicly ask him to marry her, and she runs off in tears when he rejects her. Though she's in on the joke, she sets up a backstory of them being together for seven years, making the inevitable outcome of onlookers gasping and booing even more painful to watch.

YouTube commenter Brianna Elizabeth, who claimed to have been at the game itself, revealed that no one in the crowd there knew what was coming — or even that Q was actually a TV star. Painful, cringeworthy, and hilarious all in one go, this punishment succeeds on the stellar acting ability of Q's "girlfriend." Even though fans might feel it's impossible to decide which are the best punishments, Q often takes a top spot.
