F Jackie is an album by American comedian, comedy writer and radio personality Jackie Martling. The album was released on August 22, 2000 on the Oglio Records label. By Martling's own account, it is the raunchiest of his many recordings. [1] The album's title is from a catchphrase fans/callers would say before hanging up. The "F" is used because swearing isn't allowed on terrestrial radio.

Background

In 1979, Martling issued his debut LP, What Did You Expect? He released two more albums, 1980's Goin' Ape! and 1981's Normal People Are People You Don't Know That Well. Martling sent all three records to fledgling New York City disk jockey Howard Stern. [2] By 1986, he was a full-time member of Stern's show, later becoming the program's head writer. Martling maintained a steady schedule of live dates while working with Stern, recording Sgt. Pecker , Hot Dogs + Donuts , and The Very Best of Jackie Martling's Talking Joke Book Cassettes, Vol. 1 . F Jackie is the fifth CD from Martling's Stern era.

Description

F Jackie was recorded live at The Comedy Place in Andover, Massachusetts on May 12 and 13, 2000.

While most of the album's material is dedicated to telling jokes in his trademark manic, high-pitched style, Martling begins the album by insulting audience members and ripping hecklers without mercy. He relates one such instance in an interview: [3]

The funniest stuff on my CD F Jackie was after a guy yelled, 'Nice shirt.' Then I went off with: ‘Yeah, I know. Your mom got it for me because I made her come faster than Dennis Rodman. Is she working tonight, or is she resting her snatch? You ever see her? Her pussy lips are so swollen that the crotch of her panties looks like Jiffy Pop. She's got a clit the size of a Pez, and it glows like a firefly. Go shit yourself a twin sister.’

Martling's comedic delivery is sharp and rapid-fire, relying on a stream of consciousness technique which is tailored to individual audiences. [4]

Critical reception

Fans and journalists alike testify unanimously to the album's filthy content. A listener's ambivalence toward Martling's dirty jokes must inevitably contend with, and make allowances for, a world that is not perfect, as one review explains: [5]

Some of these moments are old Tasteless Jokes stand-bys (such as the Helen Keller material – I loved these jokes as a kid), some of them are modern-day (including a few jokes at the expense of President Clinton and his escapades a few years back), and some of them are good ol'-fashioned ethnic jokes that are incredibly non-P.C. today. Well, you know what? Fuck being politically correct. If you can't laugh at yourself (and Martling even includes some self-deprecating humor to prove this) and each other's foibles, then you may as well be dead.

While Martling’s humor is famously off-color and his reputation as a comedian is firmly established in the entertainment industry, there is a caveat for those fans that are unacquainted with his comedic performances: [6]

Martling's near-shrieking delivery and relentlessly fast tempo may wear some listeners down over the course of 70-plus minutes.

Anti-humor is a type of indirect and alternative humor that involves the joke-teller's delivering something that is intentionally not funny, or lacking in intrinsic meaning. The practice relies on the expectation on the part of the audience of something humorous, and when this does not happen, the irony itself is of comedic value — humor can be, and often is, about unexpected contrast (see Theories of humor § Incongruous juxtaposition theory). Anti-humor is also the basis of various types of pranks and hoaxes.
