You think this is funny?.......2006-07-18

Each Jerky Boys CD is a bit less funny than the previous one. This being the last one they released (so far), it's the least funny one. That being said, it does have a fair share of laughs. You at least have to give them credit for trying something a little different this time around. Instead of the usual 20something short prank calls, this time they have less than ten calls, which are all fairly long (the album is over an hour long). Four of the tracks are incoming calls from a florist, who gets exasperated when she keeps being given the runaround. Like I said, this is their weakest album, but fans of the Jerks should get a few laughs out of it.

to the idiot who said primitive calls. .......2006-01-19

late 1980's huh? i dont think derek jeter was playing for the yankees back then.

I Speak English Better Than You!!.......2004-03-23

Genius! The Jerky Boys take this collection in a different direction than any of their other albums, as this one is centered around 4 long calls where they use nearly all of their characters to harrass one New York flower shop employee. At one of the funniest parts of the album, Tarbash cries out in pain, "Ah! You bring back horrible memory! Teacher used to beat me!" Buy it, ya barrelass.

Primitive Calls.......2001-12-24

The Jerky Boys have broken up and Kamall had released his solo-project last year. These calls are probably off the duos earlier works (before the signed a record contract). I would assume that many of these calls were done in the late 1980s and had the original Jerky Tapes a few years ago, however, I do not recognize some of the calls on the CD version. There could have been a little bit more calls on here (I am sure there are 1,000 of unreleased prank calls). Anyway, the calls on here are funny, innovated, and are what The Jerky Boys were all about.

Hey, it's pretty good........2001-09-10

I disagree with the reviewer who said that they "phoned this one in". Although the documentation with the CD is scant, and no real information can be found about the CD on their website(Have they broken up or what?), I think it's clear that this material is not "new", but a release of older outtakes made before they got famous. (the sound quality is proof of this alone)

It's interesting to hear the Jerkys do their thing in this longer format, the flower shop calls being the best example of that. The mixing of the characters in the same call, the extent to which they antagonize this lady - it's all at a level that we've never heard before. I thought it was pretty darn funny. Pick it up. It's at least as good as "Stop Staring At Me!". You may even like it more because it's a change of pace from the usual shorter bits.
