Summary: The Last Hurrah
Comment: This is the last great Jerky Boys album, and it basically marks the time they 'jumped the shark' and faded afterwards into mediocrity.
While there are many great characters on display (including a few fun new ones, like Bob The Cattle Rustler and Curly G.), the album belongs to the immortal Sol Rosenberg. His 'Lawn Equipment Debate' call is probably the funniest bit the Jerkys have ever done, and amazingly, it's done without vulgarity or mean-spiritedness. If you need to prove to someone that the Jerkys are more than just foul-mouthed punks with no comic skill, that's the call to show them.
'Lawnmower Sale' is a close second, featuring hilarious ranting from Bob The Cattle Rustler. You'll be quoting that call for weeks.
As always, Kamal's calls are mostly dead weight ('Stop That,' 'Tarbash's New Shoes,' etc.), but they're easily skipped to get to the good stuff. If you're a fan of prank-calling, this is as good as it gets.

Summary: What's up with that delivery boy?
Comment: Starting with track 1, you know the Jerky Boys didn't slow down. As Rizzo rants about a Santa Claus-dressed delivery boy who, er, accosted him, you know it's gonna get nasty, and funny.
Could be the best Jerky disc, actually, as they retread the usual cast of characters and go above and beyond the call of prank calling duty with new characters, and even new set-ups where they place ads in the papers and wait for victims to call. Who said prank calling wasn't hard work?
Aside from irate, blue-collar Queens resident Frank Rizzo (who often gets the best rants out, including one about his annoying son's upcoming birthday), we have the fragile Sol Rosenberg (some of the funniest moments in this disc) as well as the psychotic Kissel, and the flamboyant Jack Tors. New additions include Big Ol' Badass Bob the Cattle Rustler (why didn't he do this character again?) and one track from Curly G, an inept rapper (funny, but like most of Kamal's tracks, it runs out of steam quick).
Johnny B, who did most of the characters, has to be a comic genius. The guy comes up with some choice lines, and thinks his way out of inquiries in a second, always with a vulgar sentiment thrown in. For fans of the first two albums, or even of the classic, Oscar-robbed film, this is a must.

Summary: Cradle rock style!
Comment: This is another Jerky Boys crank calls album. Lots of funny stuff here. Favorite Jerky Boys characters are back, like Frank Rizzo, Sol Rosenberg, Kissel, Tarbash and Jack Tors. There are also a few new characters introduced, my favorite of which is Big Ole Bad Ass Bob The Cattle Rustler. One new thing they did here was take out classified ads in the newspaper and record the responses they received from people. It's pretty funny stuff. Recommended to fans of crank phone calls.

Summary: "No, I have... other lawn chairs."
Comment: This has always been a favorite "Jerky Boys" album of mine. While I admit I'm not all that impressed with some of the newer stuff, "The Jerky Boys 3" has some classic comedy moments that are bound to get laughs and cringes from you. It's those jolly pranksters who are terrorizing the business world with their prank phone calls once again.All the classic characters are here: Frank Rizzo, Sol Rosenberg, Kisso, Tarbash, and Jack Tor S. There are also some new characters too in this one, which is why it's a favorite of mine. All of the calls are downright hilarious and they never get old. A really cool feature of the album is that now there are tracks that are actual incoming calls. Witness the hijinx and shenanigans these innocent callers experience as they try to get information on lawn equipment that they'll never see. The calls are CLASSIC. The album has 29 tracks all together. My favorite calls are "Santa's Delivery," "TV Repair," "Tarbash's New Shoes," "Lawnmower Sale," "Sol's Chainsaw Shock (parts 1 and 2)," "Safety Gates," "Lawn Equipment Debate," "Silly Food," "BAMM!" and "Sol's Civil War Memorabilia (parts 1 and 2)." They're all very funny and humorous to listen too. If you're a fan of the Jerky Boys, then I suggest checking out "The Jerky Boys 3." There's a very high replay value on this hilarious CD. Unpredictable and outrageous, this is an album to remember.
