About
When their first album earned the distinction of being the best-selling comedy album of 1993, the floodgates were thrown open for people copying the Jerky Boys' shtick of foul-mouthed, bruising prank calls. They took the crass humor and rude stereotype of the typical roughneck New York City citizen (made popular by Andrew Dice Clay) to a new level. Verbal abuse is the name of their game, calling up unsuspecting businesses and individuals, berating them on the phone to sometimes hilarious results. After five albums and a movie that flopped, the Jerky Boys are still at it, beating their one joke like the dead horse it is.
