Jerky Boys 3 CD

Our antiheroes have added a new twist this time around to freshen up their shtick. Included on this album are incoming telephone responses to strategically placed "ads" announcing the sale of various items. Never has the spider drawn the fly into its web in such a side-splitting fashion. The Jerky Boys remain the undisputed kings of the guerrilla comedy record.

By the time The Jerky Boys 3 was released, they were far removed from their cult status having starred in their very own Hollywood movie, The Jerky Boys. While their popularity had reached a peak, the 'boys' still managed to come up with some hilarious material here, although those moments are fewer than on their first two releases. The skits with the Frank Rizzo character seem to work best, as it is the best developed character they have come up with. Overall, this is an inconsistent set, but worth it for the "Body Building" skit alone. ~ Robert Taylor

The notorious Jerky Boys come back for a third round of uproarious prank phone calls, this time to a children's summer camp, a bicycle shop, a masseuse, a pet store and many others. This outrageous comedy team will go to any lengths for a cheap laugh, and cheap laughs are in abundance on JERKY BOYS 3. The Jerky Boys assume a coterie of characters, all equally obtuse and argumentative, for the express purpose of psychologically torturing their telephone victims. Like smart-aleck fifth graders, they use profanity, verbal abuse and any other weapons of bad taste at their disposal, and the results are crudely hilarious.
