About

Tonight's Big Loser refers to a photograph of reality television prank show Impractical Jokers cast member Salvatore "Sal" Vulcano, often paired with a caption describing him as "tonight's big loser" or "tonight's biggest loser."

Origin

Impractical Jokers is an American hidden camera reality show which premiered on TruTv on December 15, 2011[1]. The show follows the comedy troupe The Tenderloins consisting of Joseph "Joe" Gatto, James "Murr" Murray, Brian "Q" Quinn, and Salvatore "Sal" Vulcano. In the show, the four compete in various challenges, with the loser forced to complete any demand set by the other three.



In November 2016, photoshopped versions of an old picture of cast member Sal Vulcano started growing popular on Instagram. After the 2016 United States Presidential Election, on November 13th, Instagram user @daddyfanclub_[2] posted a photo of Sal superimposed on the map of United States. Following the original post, the image gained popularity on Instagram and other social networks.


Extensive scientific research shows that this is the last image the human brain creates at the point of death. Could this be God himself?
This was left on my car at work. I'm literally shaking right now. I'm not sure if I can even. I fear for my life in #TrumpAmerica

Spread

In December 2018, the image began being paired with captions describing Sal as "tonight's big loser" after failing at a specific challenge – often illegal, offensive or considered to be frowned upon. While the exact origin of the meme is unknown, one of the earlier popular posts utilizing the format was made by Redditor[3] Menmario on December 19th, 2018. The post gained over 4,100 upvotes in 12 days.
