Synopsis: Sol calls the optometrist because he has a problem with his glasses and can't see so good.Īnalysis: Sol's true coming out party is on this, one of the all-time great JB calls. 'For encore I choke some of your faculty staff.' The Tarbash character seems to work best when put into goofy situations doing 'lost in translation' humor such as this. Synopsis: Tarbash tries to get an audition for gig as a magician, though his act is a little 'out there'.Īnalysis: Kamal's first character is introduced in one of his better calls. 'I eat the fuckin' shit, I put mustard on it and I eat the fuckin' shit!' In particular, I often use Rizzo's sarcastic 'I'm very proud of ya' as a backhanded compliment in everyday conversation. It's relatively tame compared to some of the later ones, but produces some great lines.

Synopsis: Frank calls to apply for a job in the insulation and boiler removal business.Īnalysis: This is the first in a series of calls on this album dedicated to Frank calling to apply for a job, a concept that, strangely enough, they never revisited on their subsequent albums. In particular, Brennan first shows here his talent for making an ordinary word (in this case, reputable) seem funny when uttered by Sol. Bad.Īnalysis: Our second great character is introduced, as with Frank, in a short call that nonetheless gets the gist of the character across. Synopsis: Sol needs laser treatment for his hemorrhoids. Considering the inflammatory nature of the early JB's work, it's inteesting that Brennan chose to pal with this mark instead of antagonizing him, but it pays off with some real great lines. It wouldn't be until album number three that Derucki was reborn with a seperate personality. Synopsis: Mike calls a number he got from the paper looking for a job, but ends up befriending a fellow out-of-work painter.Īnalysis: This could really be considered a Rizzo call, since at this time Derucki was little more than a Rizzo alias. 'Frank Rizzo, open ya fuckin' ears, jackass!' It's a short but satisfying example of the early Rizzo character's taste for confrontation and frequent profanity use. Frank Rizzo, is a solid opener for the album. Synopsis: Frank's a contractor with a job to do, and he's angry at the tile company because half the tiles he ordered came in busted.Īnalysis: Our introduction to the first of the great JB characters, one Mr. The Boys' first album is pretty much unanimously considered ther finest work, taking some classic material from their bootlegs and mixing it in with never-before-heard stuff to make not only the finest crank call tape of all time, but one of the great comedy albums in history.
