Sol Rosenberg is one of the best known characters created by Johnny Brennan for The Jerky Boys, the American prank call duo who became popular in the 1990s through their comedy albums. In the Hurt at Work routine, Sol calls about an injury claim and insists he was verbally abused, repeating that bad, awful things were said to him. Clips of his nervous voice later circulated on soundboards and in meme edits, where the complaint became a reusable reaction for fake offence and workplace whining.

Sol Rosenberg says he said bad, awful things in this Jerky Boys hurt at work prank call clip, used as a reaction sound for complaints and workplace jokes.
This is Sol Rosenberg, the anxious elderly character from The Jerky Boys, complaining in his shaky, high-pitched voice that someone said bad, awful things to him. The delivery is whiny, indignant and slightly panicked, as if a minor insult has become a serious workplace injury claim. His drawn-out phrasing and repetitive wording make the line instantly quotable. It lands as both pathetic and funny, perfect for exaggerating offence, mocking a dramatic complaint, or giving a character an over-the-top reason to be upset about something trivial said at work.
