what episode was it where jimmy smith headed back to israel and gets the living shit kicked out of him by a curler

You’re probably thinking of Impractical Jokers and the recurring James “Jimmy” Smith bit — the episode people usually point to is “The Tipping Point” (Season 8, Episode 3).

A quick caveat: the phrasing about “heading back to Israel” and the “curler” doesn’t match a clean official episode description, so the reference may be a fan-memory mashup or a different clip from the same episode.

Why this is the likely one

• The search result specifically ties “Jimes/Jimmy Smith” to “The Tipping Point.”

• That makes it the strongest match for the “Jimmy Smith” part of your question.

Note

If you meant a different show or a different “Jimmy Smith,” the episode title could change, but based on the wording you gave, “The Tipping Point” is the best fit.
