Jerky Boys 2 is the second comedy album released by prank call artists, the Jerky Boys. The album was released in 1994 and was the final Jerky Boys album released on the Select Records label, distributed by Atlantic Records. It went Platinum as well as the first album. This album was also nominated for a Grammy Award at the 1995's Grammy's for Best Comedy Album, but lost to Sam Kinison's Live From Hell.
Jerky Boys 3 is the third comedy album by prank call artists, the Jerky Boys. The album was released on August 20, 1996, and was the first Jerky Boys album released on the Mercury Records label.
In 1995, prior to the release of this album, the Jerky Boys took a year off before signing with Mercury Records, and recording this album. Also, it was the first time they had added responses to ads they had put in the paper. During this period, the duo released The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the accompanying soundtrack album.. Johnny Brennan revealed in his podcast that this is his favorite album, largely due to the new characters introduced.
The Jerky Boys is an American comedy act from Queens, New York, whose routine consists of prank telephone calls and other related skits. Formed in 1989, The Jerky Boys were made up of childhood friends Johnny Brennan and Kamal Ahmed. After Kamal left the act in 2000, The Jerky Boys continued on as a solo act featuring only Brennan, before going on hiatus after the 2001 release of their final album, The Jerky Tapes.
The calls were made by ringing up unsuspecting recipients, or in response to classified advertisements placed in local New York-based newspapers. Each call was made in character, usually with over the top voices influenced by the duo's family members.
According to their current record label, Laugh.com, the act has sold over 8,000,000 CDs since their 1993 debut.
On February 25, 2014, Rolling Stone published an article on The Jerky Boys, in which Johnny Brennan made several prank calls.
Brennan began making and recording prank telephone calls in the 1970s, and teamed up with the younger Kamal, in the late 1980s/early 1990s in their Queens neighborhood. The duo made a number of bootleg tapes of their recorded phone calls that eventually found their way to New York-based radio personality Howard Stern, who played the duo's tracks on the air.
The Jerky Boys: The Movie, also known as The Jerky Boys, is a 1995 comedy/crime film starring John G. Brennan and Kamal Ahmed, best known as the comedy duo The Jerky Boys.
The film features two men, Johnny B. and Kamal, aka "the Jerky Boys", two self-described "low-lifes from Queens", who get into trouble with the Mafia when one of their prank calls leads them into a money laundering business. The Jerky Boys discover that their long-loved hometown bar will be torn down unless they stop it.
The film opens in a New York police station as a pair of "low-lifes from Queens" named Johnny B. (John G. Brennan) and Kamal (Kamal Ahmed) are taken into police custody and interrogated by an NYPD detective named Robert Worzic (Brad Sullivan). Worzic demands to know exactly how the pair got into their situation, so Johnny explains that for the past twenty years, he and Kamal frequently entertained themselves by performing prank calls on the telephone. He brings up an early call where he got his neighbor Brett Weir, the local goody-two-shoes kid, in trouble with his mother by impersonating an angry citizen and claiming that Brett has been spitting and cursing.
The Jerky Boys is the self-titled debut comedy album by prank call artists, the Jerky Boys. The album was released in 1993 by Atlantic Records' subsidiary Select Records, which was formerly an independent New York City-based label previously known for releasing rap music.
The album was well received by critics and the public alike, eventually reaching double platinum sales certification by the Recording Industry Association of America , making it their best-selling album.
The Jerky Boys is the original soundtrack album of the film of the same title, starring The Jerky Boys. It was released on January 24, 1995.
The Jerky Boys had a busy year in 1995; they took the year off as far as recording an album, however. They did not release a new album until they departed from Select Records and signed to Mercury Records for their third album The Jerky Boys 3, which would be released the following year.
(intro)
Teen drinking is very bad.
Yo I got a fake id though.

(1st verse)
1, here comes the 2 to the 3 to the 4,

maybe cause she heard that I rhyme hardcore,
or maybe cause she heard that I ride out the stores,

(chorus) everybody in the club gettin tipsy,

(verse 2)

while she tellin me how much she hate her guy,

she started feelin on my johnson right out the blue,
girl you super thick so i'm thinkin that's koo,

her eyes got big when she glanced at my jewels,
expression on her face like she aint got a clue,
and she told me she don't run with a crew,
you know how i do but i guess why i gotta do.
(chorus)
(verse 3)
