4.0 out of 5 stars Has Roy lost a step??, May 22, 2001

I thoroughly enjoy Roy D Mercer's albums as they are probably the funniest comedy albums currently on the market. The whole candid aspect of it all just begs for laughter. Unlike Roy's previous efforts however,"Roy D Mercer vs Yankees" seems a little stale. Sure, the laughs are prevalent, but it is clear to see Roy D is in danger of losing his "close to home" flavor as he makes several references to pop-culture favorites. Obviously an attempt to win over a wider range of audience. Roy's "victims" have a hard time understanding his colorful phrases and southern dialect, which was intended. However, it can be argued that some of the humor is lost in the dichtomy of the two clashing cultures. Overall a good effort, but could be better. Here's hoping Roy will always remain true to his roots

4.0 out of 5 stars He's good, but single-dimensional, July 17, 2001

Roy D. Mercer can be very, very funny but it is the shame he can only play the same character over and over again. You can often predict the path every call would take. Yes, this allows caller to achieve mastery, but after that much repetition, the comical quality wears thin. This is unfortunate because, like I said, Roy D. Mercer is one ace prank-caller.

You will note excellent writing and some fine touches delivered in a flawless casual style. However, these days the art of prank calling has been elevated to incredible heights by Touch Tone Terrorists (a.k.a. Junkyard Willie, a.k.a. RePete) and Tom Mabe, and you really need to try a bit harder. Let us hope that Mr Mercer finds a new dimention within his unmistakable talent.

If you are looking for something that is funny and easy to listen to, then Roy Mercer CDs are great! Sometime strong language, but all in keeping with the idea of the story.
