You know how sometimes you get nostalgic for things you loved in the past, see them again and realize they’re not as good as they used to be?  This could be a comedy movie for example.  You see it as a teen and think it’s hilarious and notice that later on in life it’s just not that funny anymore.

Me and my buddy Nick were talking about this the other day. Now I’m not sure if you can use the word genius but maybe you can. I personally think the Jerky Boys had some comedic genius in them back in the day.

Do you realize how quick these guys were on the phone? The sheer speed of their comebacks and ability to respond on the fly was simply, dare I say, “uncoached.” Seriously though, they were incredible.

And if anything, I want to bring back the Jerky Boys. This clip is from what I consider one of the best comedy videos of all time: “Jerky Boys: Don’t Hang up Tough Guy.” If you don’t have it, it’s a must buy.
