80s *Alice* Shake 'n' Bake* Commercial

[MisterTimewarp]

I recall seeing her in a couple rice commercials (I'm thinking it was minute rice, but not sure). I had seen them on a Canadian channel (which made me think she was Canadian).

[MercuriePL]

She didnt paid! LOL

[KillerHelix]

I had a dream about Alice and I sitting around... We had a weird night and then boom! Wake and Bake... T'was awesome.

[somewhatlongdong]

Many are not aware that Ann B. Davis is a lesbian.

[UglySean]

For nine chicken experts. She even made a Brady tie-in here. It's been said that Ann Bradford Davis is "happily retired" and doesn't do many TV appearancea anymore. Too bad. IF they ever did another Brady reunion I'd love to see her on it.

[RebeckaSarkozy]

I miss you Anne B. Davis! You made the Brady Bunch awesome! Loooove the reruns! Hugs to you if you read this!

[Jefgg]

Ann B. Davis endorsed Shake 'N Bake. Florence Henderson endorsed Wesson oil. I wonder if there was some kind of rivalry going on there.

[BraceletAccumulatrT2]

makes me look golden, if you know what I mean - yeh because youve had a fucking spray tan

[KoolDudester]

I wanna know what the fuck the guy says to her as he hands her the box, but on the other hand, I wanna keep believing that he's saying "MAKES BASEMENT EGGS"

[KoolDudester]

could these people act any more retarded

[AdamCartwrightMyLove]

oooooh Im so telling Sam!!!!

[Simon5005]

Alice is evidently getting meat all over town.

[1967mustanggta]

I think she built up an image to pitch anything related to the kitchen. Seriously. Who wouldn't want her as their pitch man.

[torchkit]

My family tried Shake 'n Bake ONCE. Even the dog wouldn't eat it. That was 1968 and I've never had it since.

[vacuumlover1]

Do the shake and bake and put the flavor back! do the shake and bake and put the flavor back! When you chicken smells clean your oven does too Everytime you cook REMEMBER WHAT TO DO! Do the shake and bake and put the flavor back SHAKE AND BAKE A NEW CHICKEN FRAGRANCE FROM GLADE

[JoshuaTaylor]

Shame the Brady's wouldn't even let her eat at the table with them....

[bwild61]

What ever happened to Linda Lavin??

[mikeellerbeck]

"It makes me look golden if you know what I mean."

I don't know what you mean. What, are you coming on to me or something? Sick!

[sonikdude49]

thanks a bunch haha har har

[fivebearrugs]

There sure were a lot of commercials for homemade fried chicken until the 1990s.

[emlodik]

Umm... Did Ann B. Davis just imply Shake n Bake chicken gives her orgasms?

[MrReeseRideout]

That lazy whore, buying cut-up chickens at a butcher shop. She should be buying fryers at Winn-Dixie and cutting them up herself. AND FRYING THEM, for chrissakes! Her boss, Flo Henderson, is the Wesson Oil spokeswoman after all. Sheeesh!

[Playstation72]

Alice? Who the fuck is Alice?

[Playstation72]

Sorry for the obvious joke, but someone had to.

[arhuxtable]

That was the Brady Bunch actress Ann B. Davis who was Alice Nelson,the Bradys' housekeeper. Not to be confused with Linda Lavin's character Alice Hyatt. LOL

[classicphile]

I loved this commercial even though I didnt like chicken. In 1981, at age 12, I was (and still am) a big fan of the Brady Bunch tv show. I liked how they used Ann B. Davis (who played Alice the housekeeper on the Brady Bunch) in this commercial and the two Brady Bunch references: "A family dinner...for 9 chicken experts" (the main Brady Bunch cast consisted of 9 people, including Ann), and "thanks a bunch"

[fivebearrugs]

LOL, four cutup chickens will wield about 32 pieces of chicken. Every one gets 3 pieces of chicken (27), leaving 5 extra pieces...assuming the men are gentlemen, it would go to the ladies :)

Yeah I know...pointless observation :)

[iammrchamp]

@classicphile Thanks for revealing the secrets of this commercial

[Kingportable]

@classicphile Wow thanks for describing the commercial and its context roflol

[sre65ct]

I miss the old commercials from the 70's.  They made one or two points and drove them home. Today's ads are overloaded with talk and mostly forgettable.

[KoolDudester]

@sre65ct These people are constantly talking and they act like inhuman psychopaths to boot

[monkfistlust]

if ALICE says its good

it gotta be

[citizenterryk]

@monkfistlust in regard to domestic matters, the word of Alice is the Word of God!!!

[BlowMeSlowlyBitch]

I thought the butcher's name was Sam?

[XxPnuemaxX]

Shake and Bake is the shit

[SharkSport]

she looks and acts like Ellen Degeneres

[Bradyfan027]

NO.

[Nikes62]

Love that Ann B. Davis!

[DA90027]

Yeah I get it and so did she...from Jane Hathaway from the Beverly Hillbillies...right in her dressing room.

[DA90027]

4 WHOLE CHICKENS? That's a big lesbo party right there.

[TheoMurpse]

That's Alice from the Brady Bunch, man. Get it now?

[spaceorbison]

The acting is so over the top in these old commercials its so funny.

[dovermoreno]

Ann B. Davis ?

Yeah, I did her....

[rpcplayboylife]

Alice could shake my bake any day you rock old lady come make love to my cock-a-saurus

[futboler454]

wow....i'm not mad at you, though

[fivebearrugs]

Hmmm...Ann B. Davis did commercials for Shake-n-Bake, and Florence Henderson did commercials for Wesson Oil. Man, just how much chicken did the Bradys consume?

[AdamqK]

I saw the actor who played Pete the Butcher in these ads doing a play in Long Wharf, Connecticut back in the 70s. He was already doing these, but they were supporting what he really wanted to do. It was O'Neill's Ah Wilderness and he was pretty good, too.

[citizenterryk]

@AdamqK indeed, those old-school character actors could really surprise you!!......

[Holdthesausage]

Hey! Where's my money!

[z4rt4n]

Like Sam the butcher bringing Alice the meat

Like Fred Flintstone driving around on bald feet.

[edroth555]

shake and bake ricky bobby

[Phloid82]

Pete? I thought the butcher's name was Sam. She must have been cheating on poor Sam.

[sharpielicker]

She forgot the chicken. :(

[goodgirl1966]

yes she did! LOL

[lekidney]

You gonna pay for that?

[verucasaltshaker]

SAM!?

[stebaer4]

This is a very interesting ad campaign as well as to see Ann B.Davis a.k.a. Alice Nelson in a new and different butchershop scene.

[freezepoop]

yummy!

[Ferroman1]

hahahaha

[manitogata]

A terrific actress!!

[fl1992]

Ann B Davis is a great actress to play a dufus like Alice!

[laneatlileden]

i thought alice got her meat from sam?

[citizenterryk]

@laneatlileden okay now, play nice!!!......i had a chance to meet Alan Melville(Sam the Butcher)years ago in Baltimore.......nicest guy you'd ever wanna meet; he was a big lovable lug in person, too!!.....btw, i was just kidding about the "play nice" part....take care!!

[FutureRetro2010]

@laneatlileden yeah but she gets her sausage from Pete lol

[damron13]

@laneatlileden yeah I bet she did, LOL

[wissam24]

@damron13 Joke getting fail

[laneatlileden]

@wissam24 and so is your mother.lol! peace

[hkfan1980]

@laneatlileden his meat wasn't enough :O Thats to Mrs Brady and alice wesson and shake n bake was always in my house :(

[wtf66611]

@laneatlileden LOL

[Tyronethe23rd]

Four fried chickens and a Coke?

Sorry, wrong 70s memory.

[lizzyfan1986]

and some dry white toast!

[assynipplechops]

Sam would disapprove. He'd most likely hack Pete up with a cleaver while yelling "The only meat Alice handles is mine!" Then he'd probably go down to Archie's place and have a cold one. Godspeed Allen Melvin.

[fivebearrugs]

LMAO

[mthivier]

I saw an interview with Ann B. Davis, where she said she would never reprise her "Alice" character in any other context for fear of being typecasted...But I guess she needed the money.

[Beany695]

Um. I actually don't know what "it makes needle in gold" means. can anyone shed some light on the subject?

[fitzer1965]

"it makes me look gold" is what she said.

[Orionsaint]

alice is still the maid for the brady's but now for greg's son who has three kids

[jazzybee1]

you mean in real life?? you got to be kidding me.. please tell me you are kidding..

[quirpco]

Ann's still with us today, God bless her...82 years young.

[keithsmove]

Sam isnt saying much these days

Passed away yesterday....

RIP

[KENVAIL]

she seemed like a lezbo lol!

[fromthesidelines]

General Foods decided, in 1981, that it wasn't enough that John Braden had successfully pitched Shake 'n Bake as "Pete the Butcher" for almost 10 years...so "Alice" pops up to help him sell more. Great teaming, but the mix itself was losing ground to General Foods' more popular coating, "Oven Fry". You can still find both on grocers shelves today- from Kraft Foods.

[Kristinmylove]

I didnt even know "Shake and Bake" was a cooking product..I thought it was just a thing from Talladega Nights.

[Tyronethe23rd]

It's still available here in the United States.

[thecolorofsilence]

shake n bake is good stuff. so easy and tastes great. even todays kind.

[timpage54]

anybody have the one with the two little girls with the impenetrable southern accents?

[mthivier]

"It's Shake 'n' Bake...and WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HELPED!"

[timpage54]

So glad somebody else remembers this! Although I recall it as something like "Shike and Bike -- and WEEEEEEEE HAY-ulped." Hope someone can post.

[SockBoy65]

That's the one I'm a lookin fer. :)

[naturewoman28]

So memorable!
