If you thought these guys were funny on audio, wait till you see them on video. The coolest thing about this is the fact that you can see most of the victim's reactions as they're being screwed with. For instance, they call employees at MTV studios and watch them via closed-circuit TV, so they can see various physical things they can make jokes about. One of them knows that there is a sandwich in one of the drawers in one of the employees' desks and they make a 3-minute call about it. My favorite part by far is the segment where they are at the grocery store and point out various people to make fun of over the loudspeaker. One is a middle aged bald man whom they accuse of possibly stealing. They give a perfectly funny description of the man, who is shown right as they are making the announcement. Other segments include Johnny and Kamal on an NYC tour bus, calling impatient New Yorkers on payphones, and personal reflections on life as disguised, silhouetted Jerky Boys characters like Kissel, Jack Tors, and Sol Rosenburg. A must-have if you're a fan, but it is fairly hard to find (bought mine from Blockbuster a llloooonnngg time ago) but should be pretty cheap on the net as it has only been released on VHS as far as I know. Otherwise, watch it once and I guarantee something will make you crack up or at lest exclaim, "WHAT did he just say?!?"

Translates well to video

You wouldnt think phone pranks would translate to video but they do. The boys come up with some creative pranks including pranking over a tour bus PA, pranking over a grocery store PA, and harrassing the MTV request line operators. A must for all JB fans.
