For those who don’t know, Jackie the Jokeman Martling was the head writer and sidekick of the Howard Stern Radio Show during the 90’s. Well now Jackie is back- in app form! That’s right with the new Jackie the Jokeman iPhone app, you can bring the hilarity of the Jokeman with you anywhere. The app features tons of hilarous jokes and crazy sounds for you to amuse or annoy your friends. There are many different categories of jokes to choose from, or you can opt to play a random joke. The interface is customizable so you can pick your favorite jokes or sounds at the press of a button. Perhaps the best feature of the app is the fact that the author has promised to release new content periodically for free. Once you pay the one time purchase price of $0.99, all future updates will be free.

Of course there are many things that this app leaves to be desired. Such as the amount of content that is currently available. After playing with the app for a few minutes you start to hear the same jokes and noises again and again. Also the jokes are all very sanitized to comply with the iTunes store rules. If you are familiar with Jackie’s material then you know that dirty, off color material is his forte. But Jackie has been quoted as saying that the app will feature more adult material as soon as Apple puts age restrictions into place for the app store. So hopefully when Jackie is finally allowed to unleash his dirtier side, what is now a bit of fun for a dollar will hopefully become even better in the future..
