The Jerky Boys
They were just a couple of losers from Queens...until they dialed a wrong number and got the mob!
A high-energy comedy romp about two Queens losers whose prank-calling antics accidentally entangle them with the mob, driven by irreverent humor and escalating chaos.
When two unemployed telephone pranksters decide to use their vocal "talents" to impersonate a Chicago mob boss and curry favor with organized crime in New York, the trouble begins. It isn't long before Johnny and Kamal (the "Jerky Boys" of crank call fame) are wanted by the local mafia, the police, and their neighbor.
