#8 My daughter is sick, my wife is sick and you're talking about coupons?


I recently watched the movie Funny People.
In the opening sequence Adam Sandler is doing a prank phone call that reminded me of the legendary kings of prank calling: The Jerky Boys.

The Jerky Boys is/were an American comedy duo from Queens New York, who were on top of the world sometime in the mid nineties doing telephone prank calls and putting them out on records.
They did well for themselves, believe it or not, these guys sold over 8 million records (that's an 8 and 6 zero's), did a couple of commercials and even made a movie entitled Jerky Boys: The Movie in 1995.

Two of my favorite sketches are "Pablo Honey" (where Radio Head took the name from for their first album) and "Terrorist Pizza" in which they scare the shit out a Pizza Guy by threatening to "bomb his place". Both are from the Jerky Boys 2 album. You're welcome!
