The Jerky Boys were a comedy troupe whose routine consists of prank calls and other related situations (such as fast food drive-thru speakers). They use a form of comedy called "middle comedy" (which is a mix of actions and witty things). They also resort to the use of profanity for humor. They officially formed in 1989 and split-up in 2001.
