"got a load of the waitress, she was stacked like a truck and her name was Mavis" - Jingles that would not fly in 2023.

If youtube ads were Old Home Bread commercials I wouldn't skip those.

As a C. W. fan and Iowa boy, this is everything I’ve ever wanted

I am from Sioux City and I remember when they baked the bread, the whole city would smell like fresh baked bread. My mom would go down to the outlet store and a big box of rejected cookies for three dollars. Miss those days.

Thank you for sharing. Thank you also to Bill Fries for sharing his God-given talent with the rest of us. RIP.

Thank you for sharing ..... I believe I went to school with his son Bill, Jr

Grew up in the midwest. This takes me back. Bullheads, and "warsh" instead of "wash 😆

Once again ol’ CW has made my day. I can’t thank you enough for posting this. Bill’s records were my favorite thing in the late ‘70s-early ‘80s (before I had discovered his Old Home Bread commercials), and coincidentally I ended up spending a 30 year career making commercials myself and did quite a bit of original soundtracks for them along the way. Late in my career I learned Bill’s bio and had to write him a letter. I never heard back, but he passed just a year later at the age of 93. It kills me I never got to connect with the man that was a big inspiration but finding this video was a gift.

Rest in Peace, William Fries Jr.🙏 Thank you posting this.

I’ve always loved this guy’s work. i never knew he started in advertising.

my dad would have loved to watch this, I had no idea there was so much to this tune LONG LIVE C.W. McCall (RIP)

RIP "Rubber Duck"

What a treasure of material. I never new of his work before ‘Convoy’ and lost touch with him soon after his classic. Maybe that was to be expected living in the Northeast.

Been a CW McCall fan since the 70's and this is the first time I've seen this. Put a huge shine on an otherwise dull and dreary day. Thank you!

RIP also to: Mavis... Jean McBride Capps Wear (1938 - 2007) Truck Driver CW... James Alexander Finlayson, Jr. (1926 - 1988)

Been a C. W fam for news and knew that he worked outside of music. From the bottom of my heart thank you so much posting this. I didn’t even know it existed.

I just felt like hearing Convoy again, and I wound up here. What a find! I remember hearing the Old Home fill 'er up song on WWL radio, but I didn't know it involved all this. I put this video in my favorites. Thank you very much for uploading this. Enjoyed it very much.

Bloopers and Practical Jokes showed several of these ads. They often ran old commercials. The actor who played C.W. looks like someone who played J.D. in some commercials for Louisiana National Bank. I wonder if it could be the same person. My mom met him one time. There was no mention of Chip Davis. Mr. Fries did rather well with the campaign and some hit records. RIP.

I loved him when I was growing up in Houston

Dad played a storm on his three finger fiddle… Love this!!! Back in 1988, my Dad and I were Jeepin’ the Black Bear Pass and someone in our group played his Black Bear Road song over the CB radio. I was 15 and already loved old country music but instantly became hooked on CW McCall’s music.

Oh my goodness these are classic!!

Absolute magic. Like a window back to a better time and an opportunity to sit down for a while with a legendary master storyteller. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thanks so much for sharing! I never knew there were so many ads! Great to hear the full story from Bill Fries Jr. himself. Who would have thought a bread commercial would lead to a hit song and a movie.

I finally went to Audubon today, I don't know why but I have been stopping at every single place that I could remember from the CW songs! I drove the Wolf Creek Pass looked for the old feed store in Pagosa Springs, drove from Durango up the canyon next to the Silverton tracks, drove by the entrance to the black bear road and drove back and forth through the tunnel where the Riverside slide flows. Yesterday I drove through Wiggins Colorado Comma I don't know why I'm doing all this but when I was such a little kid these songs were so much fun! Not to be rude but Audubon and Wiggins aren't much but everything else is absolutely fantastic! Oh yes the Nishnabotna river is not much more than a Creek in any other area😂

Priceless

This man out here spitting bars. Get that bread 🍞😂

In the Heavy Date spot, the Bruton Rd. Drive-In Theatre is shown, which was in Mesquite, TX, near Dallas.

These are great fun to watch.

What a wonderful watch, thank you for posting!

I heard the Old Home An' Filler Up and Keep On Trucking Cafe yesterday driving home. I said, "Alexa, play some C.W. McCall." Then that song played.

Purdy little thing, name was mavis

This makes me happy

Perfect 😭

Decoder Ring brought me here.

Wow, this is awesome! 🍞🤠🇺🇲

This is great!!!!!

This is great

This is a funny video. CW had no choice but to include Mavis mother. There are times that he uses a Southern accent. Why? Did he like the winter cold?

Did this air on TV, where did you find it? I love this stuff.

Mavis looks a bit like Polly Holliday aka Flo on Alice.
