Roy D. Mercer's shtick involves phoning unsuspecting folks from his roost at Tulsa, Oklahoma, radio station KMOD and blamin' 'em for one ridiculous thing or another. Mercer's accusations are prefaced by wild yarns and followed by demands for a few hundred dollars. Of course, the people he calls aren't so agreeable and that's when Roy threatens to whup some ass. Mercer's marks respond in wildly different ways. The guy on "Dead Hamster" isn't threatened at all; he can't stop cracking up at Mercer's convoluted tale featuring a stylishly attired, piano-playing hamster. The man at the other end of the line on "Bird Dog" is all macho. It sounds like he can't wait to tangle with Mercer and even gives the professional prankster detailed directions to his house. Each track has a Candid Camera ending where writer-producers Brent Douglas and Phil Stone let on that the call is just a gag. Even these sections provide some added yucks. --Fred Cisterna

Summary: these guys should be ashamed of themselves 2005-07-01
Comment: Roy D. Mercer is a rip-off of Leroy (NOT LEE ROY) Mercer. Do a search for Leroy Mercer aka John Bean and find out the real story.

Summary: A very UNfunny cd. 2004-10-31
Comment: These are the worst phony-phone calls that I have EVER heard, I assumed they would be funny, based on the other reviews- let's just say they were a HUGE disappointment. I love this type of humor, Roy Mercer is not humorous at all. I believe that the positive reviews must have been written by his family and record company. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GUY.

Summary: Use Caution While Driving 2003-06-30
Comment: My better half and I bought this and some other comedy CDs for a recent road trip. This CD was so funny that I felt it impaired our ability to drive. We found ourselves listening intently and occasionally we'll make jokes with each other about the more memorable lines. It's not exactly high-brow humor, so don't buy this CD if redneck jokes and laughing at prank calls doesn't work for you. However, if you've ever listened to morning radio pranks and enjoyed them, you'll love this CD. It's perhaps the best set of radio pranks I've ever heard. My favorite on this one is the naval recruiter, but it's just one of many, many other hysterical phone calls.

Summary: Don't think this is funny? Then probably a Prozac candidate 2002-12-15
Comment: Sure, the well crafted stories delivered to the victims of R.D. Mercer are hilarious in themselves, but it's the candid reactions of the victims that add to the cheerfulness of this effort. Unlike many of the other self-indulgent phone call pranksters on the market Roy manages to set verbal traps, luring his victims out into the open where they expose their true character. Also compared to most attempts at comedy the amount of profanity is very low ... proving you don't have to be foul mouthed to be funny ... you just have to be imaginitive...and Roy is exactly that.
