Ocker was recorded from 1916 as a nickname for anyone called 'Oscar'. Notably, the comic strip
Ginger Meggs contained a character called Oscar ('Ocker') Stevens from the 1920s. The ocker as an Australian stereotype didn't appear until much later, and is strongly associated with a character of that name played by
Ron Frazer in satirical television comedy series,
The Mavis Bramston Show.
