Watch a Rude Sea Lion and Prankish Parents in This Clip from The Misery Index

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
TBS’s The Misery Index might seem like a weird idea for a game show. Take the British star of a popular network sitcom (The Good Place’s Jameela Jamil), throw in the very Staten Island comedians from the Candid Camera-style prank show Impractical Jokers, and devise a game that’s part Hollywood Squares and part @midnight. If feels very old-fashioned in 2019, but also has a self-aware kitschiness that makes it almost kind of timeless. Your reaction to it will depend heavily on how you feel about the comedy of the four Impractical Jokers stars; if you like their stuff, you’ll probably like this show.
