1972 Scott Paper Towels commercial

[greenwich1754]

I remember as a kid this woman being an annoyance to my father, the way she just "pops in" with her irritating voice, so he called her Aunt Bubonic.

Is it Aunt Bluebell or Aunt Blue Balls?

[jess4metoo]

What a talent! That "irritating" voice provided her with an amazing career. She's like that embarressing relative that we all have, yet still love so much. RIP Ms. Questel.

Thank you for sharing Wookie.

Look up Mae Questel. She was also Betty Boop and Olive Oyl in those very old 1930s cartoons. You can really hear Olive Oyl in her voice in this commercial. This is so strange seeing this because I had completely forgotten this rather irritating commercial!

[fiftiesflashback1953]

@Motherbattleaxe IRRITATING! I loved this commercial, especially because of Mae Questel. This was nothing compared Mr. Whipple and PLEASE DON'T SQUEZE THE CHARMIN! LOL

u can get 5X more than that (sponge towels) at walmart for special for 99 cents... lol!

[awesome12886]

scott was the first paper towel brand

[fromthesidelines]

Listen closely, and you can detect a bit of her "Little Audrey" voice as well...Mae was also "Winky Dink" on TV in the mid-'50s, and Nabisco's "Buffalo Bee" (representing their Rice and Wheat Honeys cereals) at the end of that decade...

@fromthesidelines --

Also Betty Boop, Olive Oyl and Woody Allen's mother in

New York Stories.

[angeloamericano]

this was a classic. I didn't know if that was real or if aunt bluebell was a figment of my imagination. Aunt Bluebell was real!

[William111061]

I have been told that Aunt Bluebell also did the voice of

Olive Oyl in the late 1950's early 1960's Popeye cartoons -

which I loved as a child. I even learned to like spinach!

[signmanj]

She even did Olive in the 1930 Popeyes and on except a few years. She also did The Sea Hag in the 1960 Cartoons and Sweepea.

[William111061]

I never knew she did Sweet Pea and The Sea Hag,

but it's not surprising. I remember that a school friend of mine absolutely freaked out when I told him that Olive Oyl and Aunt Bluebell were voiced by the same actress:)

[softwater88]

Yeah, also Mae Questel was in the 1968 motion picture "Funny Girl" she was one of Barbra Streisand's aunts. Sadly Ms. Questel passed away in 1998.

[mss2400]

She said, "Hi Dear, Aunt Bluebell here" in all her commercials, right?

[William111061]

In one of them during the Bicentennial period,

I remember her ringing a hand bell and saying,

"Hear ye dears, Aunt Bluebell here."

[musicom67]

Same NY accent like Mrs. Costanza from Seinfeld!

[heine71]

Aunt Bluebelle was played by the late Mae Questel, who was the original voice of Olive Oyl in the Popeye cartoon shorts.

[RolandTaylorJr]

AUNT BLUEBELL!!! YAY!!! I've been wanting to find a Scotowels commercial featuring her again!
