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.

He relates one such instance in an interview:[3] The funniest stuff on my CD F Jackie was after a guy yelled, 'Nice shirt.'

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.

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.
