Roy D. Mercer is a fictional character created by American disc jockeys Brent Douglas and Phil Stone on Tulsa, Oklahoma’s KMOD-FM radio station in 1993. Douglas, who voiced Mercer, used the character for comedic sketches involving prank calls. In these calls, Mercer would confront individuals or businesses with fabricated grievances, often demanding compensation and threatening an “ass-whuppin'” if his demands were not met. The character’s humor stemmed from his exaggerated Southern drawl and confrontational style, which resonated with many listeners.
