History Creator / TheJerkyBoys

* FakeHairDrama: Sol goes through this after losing his toupee (and some of his teeth!) during a saving beating he receives at a basketball game.

* NoodleIncident: Frank mentions to a potential employer that he had some differences with his boss, forcing him to find work in an entirely new area. As per the trope, he doesn't elaborate, but given that it's Frank it's unlikely it ended diplomatically.

* {{Fingore}}): "Firecracker Mishap" sees poor Sol get his hand obliterated and reduced to a "nub."

* ((Fingore)): "Firecracker Mishap" sees poor Sol get his hand obliterated and reduced to a "nub."

* Fingore: "Firecracker Mishap" sees poor Sol get his hand obliterated and reduced to a "nub."

* Jack Tors, a CampGay caricature who is typically engaging in bizarre sexual activity, or equally bizarre dance routines or other live performances.

* EthnicMagician: Tarbash. According to him, acts like stabbing people in the eye with a saber are considered magic in Egypt.

* Yellowface: Well, the audio equivalent, where Ahmed plays an extremely unconvincing racist caricature of a Japanese sushi chef. It has aged exactly as badly as you'd expect.

* ToiletHumour: By the carload.

* SirSwearsALot: Frank is the standout, but most of their characters are pretty foul-mouthed.

* TheNicknamer: Frank, who constantly doles them out at random to the point of it being a VerbalTic. Common ones include 'rubberneck,' 'liver-lips,' 'fruitcake' and 'tough guy.'

* Sol Rosenberg, a neurotic, JewishAndNerdy ButtMonkey who always seems to have some new ailment or calamity befalling him.

* Frank Rizzo, a blue-collar ball of BrooklynRage. (Or Queens Rage, if you prefer.) A five-star SirSwearsALot and probably the character people most associate with the act.

By the year 2000, the duo had split for good. Ahmed released a solo album to little fanfare, while Brennan would keep the official Jerky Boys name and has released solo albums periodically over the years, also to very modest success. With their commercial heyday long gone, they are mostly remembered as a fun bit of 90's nostalgia. Brennan is probably best known now as a voice actor for WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy, whose character Mort Goldman is essentially Jerky Boys stalwart Sol Rosenberg in animated form. Ahmed has gone on to become an independent actor and filmmaker.

They achieved surprising mainstream success at first, with their first two albums going platinum and the third going gold. They even managed to get their own BigDamnMovie, with Brennan and Ahmed playing themselves. The movie was lambasted by all but their most die-hard fans, and began the duo's downward spiral both professionally and as friends. Things got so bad between the pair that they refused to share any screen time together in the Music/InsaneClownPosse movie Film/BigMoneyHustlas.

The Jerky Boys are a long-running comedy act, specializing in the time-honored art of the PrankCall. The original duo consisted of Johnny Brennan and Kamal Ahmed, childhood friends from Queens who enjoyed making and recording prank calls together. They kept at it through the 1980s, making bootlegs and working hard to KeepCirculatingTheTapes. They would get their big break when their work was discovered by Creator/HowardStern, who would play their calls on his wildly popular radio show. After that, an official album was inevitable and was released in 1993.
