"Mrs. Burke, I thought you were Dale!" Grape Nuts commercial

My dad used to quote this all the time in the 70s

the website moved but you can still find it if you google it

I love this commercial! Thanks for posting and also posting the link to their website!

It seems about half of the MST episodes reference this commercial. I had to look it up finally to see what the commercial was. The palmolive thing makes sense, though, since about all of the "dale" mst references are about hands.

Yep. Now i can't watch a TV show, movie or hell, anytime I have to look at my hands, I say "I thought I was Dale."

It's a long-running mistake they never bothered to correct. There was a Palmolive commercial involving "mistaken identity" similar to the "I thought you were Dale!" Grape Nuts commercial, and the writers just forgot which slogan went with which commercial. Doesn't matter. It's still funny. :]

Yes, definitely still funny.

Actually if you read the MST3K Episode Guide, Mike's episode entries are fraught with inaccuracies. Funny, funny guy, but he doesn't know shinola from that other stuff.

I loved that commercial- we used that quote all the time in the 60's! I think Mrs. Burke liked the goose...

I remember they used the classic line in "Kentucky Fried Movie", I didn't know what it was from until now....LOL
