The Jerky Boys own website describes Rizzo as an "abrasive foul-mouthed blue collar Italian-American accuses the Mickey Mouse character at Disney World of molesting his children." Tors is "a flamboyant homosexual man who frequently takes part in bizarre sexual activities." Sol Rosenberg is "a frail, insecure New York Jew."

"Hey Mark, what do you say there, you fuckin' flapjack," he says in one example video tagged as a #gift.
