4 out of 5 stars I LOVE THE JERKY BOYS!.......2007-01-29

THE JERKY BOYS ARE GREAT AND I WANT THE REST OF THEIR CD'S!

5 out of 5 stars prank calls done brooklyn style.......2005-12-07

still makes me laugh after all these years.2 guys from brooklyn prank call people from doctors to lawyers,convincingly.they are so good at it and they know how to do it to make it down right hysterical.yankee haters might not be able to appreciate this and too bad for them because they don't know what they're missing.my favorite moments are with sol,a woody allenesque nerd who has problems with his glasses,roids,motorbike,and a fascination with his shoes.other good moments are with the gay man and frank rizzo.the last track is also great about a man and his son who call a plumber expecting it to be their uncle freddie. good stuff folks,that everyone,ecept children of course, should check out for the laughs.

5 out of 5 stars The Birth Of The Crank-Call Boom.......2005-04-30

The Jerky Boys somehow managed to find great commercial success by making prank phone calls, and this is the album that started it all. It introduces just about all of their classic characters - Frank Rizzo, Sol Rosenberg, Tarbash, etc. - and their unique brand of off-the-wall humor.

While crank-calling doesn't seem like a sophisticated style of humor, the Jerkys manage to elevate it to a vulgar art form. John Brennan (the Head Jerky, if you will) has a remarkable knack for improvisation and off-kilter remarks. You'll laugh as Frank Rizzo calls someone 'sizzlechest' or 'rubberneck,' even if you're not entirely sure what he's talking about. While the album is certainly vulgar, it's not a mindless swearing fest - there's some genuinely clever humor to be found here. And Sol Rosenberg is quite possibly the funniest crank-call character ever, although this particular album is definitely Rizzo's show.

This is a must-own album for comedy fans, provided you're not easily offended. Albums 2 and 3 are also great; everything afterwards is basically wretched.

4 out of 5 stars Jerky Boys - self-titled (Select Records).......2005-02-20

Loved the movie and always get a big jolt out of the CD.Some unforgetable lines from those two jobless 20-something ace phone pranksters:"Hey,tough guy,this better important!I'm having my little toe nails done here,you nookie-licker!What kind of a fruity operation are you running there anyway,sugar pants?".This is prime material to stick on your answering machine or to perhaps leave on someone's voice mail at 2am.Some more lines:"They call me Rubberneck!Because whenever I go off the handle,I get my dog to bite your b***s off,I'll break off your legs and shove 'em up your ass!!I'm silly that way,silly!!".Outrageous humor for those who can appreciate just that.A should-have.

5 out of 5 stars "They call me 'Rubberneck!'".......2004-06-28

Now, this is a hilarious album that brings back memories. While going through my ridiculously large CD collection, I stumbled upon this gem. I hadn't listen to it for a long time, so I decided to take a stroll down memory lane. And what a great stroll it was! "The Jerky Boys" is one of those priceless classics that can never be duplicated. This was the album that introduced the world to two hilarious pranksters and their amazing creations.

Let's face it, anybody can do a prank call. It's not that hard to do. However, that does not mean that anybody can do a GOOD prank call. These guys are improv geniuses, and they can never know what to expect. Great characters like the annoyed and always ticked off Frank Rizzo, or the always injured and paranoid Sol Rosenberg. There's the openly... er... "happy" Jack Tor S who is always looking for a whacky job. And who can forget Tarbash; the Egyptian Magician and an unfortunate victim of dental malpractice. That's only to name a few.

Since this is the very first album from the Jerky Boys, all of their characters were still not yet fully developed or completely solid, but they each showed overwhelming promise. You knew that we would be hearing more from these characters in the future, and of course that is what happened. Still, this album is absolutely hilarious and never seems dated. The two most developed and memorable characters are Frank Rizzo and Sol Rosenberg. Even years later, this album still had the power to make me laugh as if I were hearing it all for the first time.

It goes without saying, this album isn't intended for those who get offended easily. Lots of profanity and adult humor can be found on almost every track. While I pretty much enjoy every call, my favorites are "irate tile man," "laser surgery," "sol's glasses," "car salesman," "super across the way," "the home wrecker," "dental malpractice," "hurt at work," "firecracker mishap," "punitive damages," "piano tuner," and everybody's favorite, "uncle freddie."

"The Jerky Boys" is one of those classics that will never seem dated or tiring. It's always funny and outright hysterical. If you haven't checked these guys out, then this would be a great introduction to them. There may be a bunch of wannabes in the world, but we all know that there can only be one Frank Rizzo! Now, go grab your toolbox and enjoy these calls, Jerky! -Michael Crane
