Customer Reviews:
Roy D. Mercer is a hack!.......2005-11-07
Roy D. Mercer is a rip-off. The original Leroy Mercer was a man by the name of John Bean, from Knoxville, TN. He found out he was dying and decided to live life to its fullest. He made the prank calls in the late 70's and early 80's and died in 1984, at the age of 33. I grew up in East Tennessee, and I remember getting a bootleg tape of his around '91. I have been hooked ever since. Bean's work is classic, he gets the people so made they could kill him. If you wany to know where this all originated it has samples of his calls there and info on how to get the CD of his classic pranks.
Same thing warmed over once again..........2002-07-22
Putting aside the fact that Roy "borrowed" his prank idea from Leroy, this CD has the same prank call premise agonizingly rehashed again for the 5th time. Call someone up, complain that he's been wronged, demand compensation, and then half-heartedly say that he "might have to come down there to give someone a ... whooping". Furthermore we get to listen to that same Oklahoma draw voice of his (or whatever you call it). Often his call victims pick up on the phony voice, and just hang on the phone to play along for fun. Roy's "character" isn't gritty or edgy. If you like Luke warm, "Senior citizen approved" calls then maybe you can sit through this for the 5th time. As for my likes, these CD's aren't half as titillating and inventive as the Jerky Boys, Musacha Tapes, TTT, Phil Hendrie, and the Bum Bar Bastards.
Still funny.......2000-05-03
I don't really know why people seem to not like this one as much.! Basically, if you like roy, you will like this..NUFF SAID! I cried several times during a few!
I laughed my ass off!.......1999-03-16
Absolutely the best comedy I've heard in my lifetime. I loved it
A Rip-Off.......1999-03-09
If you have heard a bootleg recording of Leroy Mercer phoning a Thom McAn store and a junkyard mechanic and you think this CD is the same guy, IT'S NOT. This "Roy D. Mercer" obviously heard the same recording and is trying to rip off the original, but he's nowhere near as funny. I was told that the original was a "police surveillance tape" and that Leroy Mercer is a real person. If anybody has any additional information on the REAL Mr. Mercer, please email me!!!!
