The guys must obey three specialized commands at a video game store, coax rock climbers into repeating a specific word, and do a Joker vs. Joker challenge, selling fake tickets. Punishment: Murr is forced to answer questions about the other guys, or spin the "Wheel of Piercings", which assigns him a body part that he has to get pierced.

60	16	"Junk in the Trunk"	June 12, 2014	Sal	1.31 [15]

In the second episode shown to a live audience, the Jokers review clips of four Joker vs. Joker challenges.

Punishment: Although it is a clip show, Joe counts up all the challenges they viewed and states that he has won the most (Q, Murr, and Sal all lose two each). So to 'punish' the other guys, 'King' Joe has Q fan him with a palm frond, has Sal feed him grapes, and uses Murr as a throne while the credits roll.

66	22	"Fe-Mail"	July 31, 2014	Joe	1.05 [20]
The guys must do what they are told while getting massages, reveal some uncomfortable thoughts to strangers in the park, and obey tasks given to them on a slot machine. Punishment: Joe is forced to dress up like a woman, thinking he is going to participate in a fashion show, but it is actually a seminar for tech students involving new app ideas, and he has to go through the presentation dressed the way he is.
67	23	"The Lost Boy"	August 7, 2014	Q	1.08 [21]
The guys talk business with strangers at a networking event, team up to teach a photography class, and complete tasks in a certain amount of time in the park.

71	27	"Parks and Wreck"	October 9, 2014	Sal	0.71 [25]

72	28	"A Legendary Fail"	October 16, 2014	Murr	0.96 [26]

The guys work at Katz's Delicatessen and take turns running a popsicle cart in Union Square.

75	31	"Brother-in-Loss"	October 30, 2014	Sal	0.92 [28]
The guys must explain their off-color resumes while applying for a job at Appetizer Mobile and complete a series of bizarre gestures outside a Staten Island Ferry terminal. Punishment: While strapped to a hand truck, Sal is forced to watch his sister, Jenna, marry Murr in a church filled with guests, including the parents of Sal, Jenna, and Murr. In a video played at the wedding ceremony, he sees that both Murr and Jenna legally signed a marriage license on March 13, 2014. In "Funny 'Cause It Hurts", Murr said this was revenge for his skydiving punishment in "Look Out Below".
