Even to this day whenever you mention Shake & Bake, somebody is going to say "And we hepped!".

Oh gawwwwd....nothing worse than an affected or theatrical "Southern accent"....
I can remember cringing on this commercial as well as the other incarnations of it.
There is a distinct difference between a cultured Southern accent and the accents of the actors for which you just listened.
Effective commercial to sell the product, I never forgot this ad.
It was also an effective commercial to let anyone that was not from the south, think that we all spoke/speak like this commercial depicts.

@petek - Thank You. Always Wondered How "Haylped"
Was spelled! *LOL*
Strange that the children have such an Appalachian accent to my ears but the parents barely have any sort of southern accent at all.Indeed they almost sound like "Yankees" trying to speak with southern accent.
As for "no one" in the south speaking that way today, I don't know about that. Paula Dean has made herself a boat load of money sounding like or even worse than those two girls. *LOL*

Well I guess you have to admit it was a good ad campaign because anyone of a certain age even up here in Canada would know exactly what product it referred to even today if they hear those 3 magical words. I still say it once in awhile but it's lost on younger ones since it hasn't really played in decades.

It's based on what the ad execs in New York think that's what southern people talk like. Yes, Paula Deen really turns it on! I just wish she'd get better wigs. She certainly can afford it!

I think we have all had enough of Paula Deen's over the top everything. She has become a caricature of herself. NO one I know from the south says uses "y'all" every 5 seconds. But thanks to the Food Network celebrity machine and their brand creating mission, people like Paula and Rachael Ray have to exhibit that manic behavior. Unfortunately most of America is really clueless about cooking and food but will believe anything they see on Food Network. Even Giada deLaurentiis has worn me out. I haven't watched that network in a long time - just can't stand the hype. One of the realtors in my office (my second job) who considers herself and her husband to be "serious foodies" will snort at any information from America's Test Kitchen or Jacques Pepin, but proudly discusses all the "yummo" recipes she gets from Rachael Ray.
Really!!
Anyway back to accents - outside of the Shake & Bake commercials, the worst affected southern accents I ever heard were from Olympia Dukakis and Julia Roberts, (strange since she is from Georgia), Tom Skerritt, Dylan McDermott and the two guys who played the Eatonton boys in Steel Magnolias. Today, that is still painful to watch. Funny that Sally Field and Shirley MacLaine's accents were more restrained.
Of course my favorite is that of Miss Sela Ward. Although she had intense training to rid herself of her Mississippi accent, when it slips through, that, combined with her flawless beauty is enchanting!!

Angus,
Correct on Paula Deen. However, her accent is a bit more authentic since she actually is a Southerner. The Olympia Dukakis and Tom Skerritt accents were awful, as mentioned above. Julia Roberts has, I am sure, spent many hours trying to "loose her Southern accent"....shame. A cultured, rich Southern accent is as smooth as they come and is wonderful to hear. Very rare these days.

My kids still have the New Orleans/Metairie accent. /some Southern but more at (Where you at and the erairiez Brooklyn) accent.
dime is a silver dime
a sidewalk is a banquet
center median is the neutral ground
they still make groceries only Harps
When all are together they get with the ya ya ya.
The stoop is the front porch.
Thery still talk about us getting out and making groceries at Schwseggmann

Yes, no argument on the authenticity of Paula's actual accent.
Regarding the New Orleans accent, I could see some similarities between that speech pattern and that of my hometown of Brooklyn. Both accents have strong European influence which affects pronunciation of some letter sounds and words and New Orlenians (at least the ones I knew) tend to speak somewhat more rapidly than others from the South.
A lot of what is portrayed by Hollywood as the "typical" Brooklyn accent (berl for boil and goil for girl) are the residual results of the speech patterns of Brooklyn's original Dutch settlers combined the many other immigrant groups - Italians, Germans, Irish, etc...

What year was this commerical made? I don't remember it. I remember Shake & Bake commericals but not this one.
As far as accents - I too hate hearing those fake southern accents. Regional accents are interesting to me. It's funny how you can drive up I 75 at the TN/KY border and the accent slowly starts to be much more subtle (still there though).

Mark-
The ad is very, very early '70s. You were- a) not yet conceived, b)- in utero, or c)- newborn.
I wish I could say the same for a-b-c.
There are plenty of recipes on the web for Shake and Bake copies, some far better tasting, and almost all far less expensive per use.

A great find, Launderess! Next time you're relaxing in front of the computer with a glass of wine, maybe you'll find an old TV commercial where a daughter snaps this famous line: "Please, mother! I'd rather do it myself!"
I remember the line, but don't recall the product being advertised.

The earliest one I remember was in black in white, mid to late 1960s, with a little girl holding the iron skillet and asking, "Hey mama, can ah help you make frahhd chicken?" Mom announces she no longer fries and lets the girl help with Shake n Bake. At dinner, dad compliments mom on the great fried chicken, at which point the little girl lets the cat out of the bag with "It's not frahhd daddy, it's shake n bake....and ah heeelllllped". Even people of my parents' generation used to make fun of the ad, by parroting "and ah helped".

Oh that infamous or famous Anacin televison commercial from the 1960's. Everyone from Carol Burnett on has made parody of it.
Sadly it's not online, but almost everyone and their mother above the age of reason at the time remembers the thing.

Cast Iron Skillet
Along with the fat of one's choice ( I prefer Crisco shortening, but any oil that can withstand high heat such as peanut will do) is all one needs to fry up the best chicken.
Of course all over the South housewives are trying to keep their girlish figures and their husbands and sons from coronary disease do hardly anyone makes fried chicken anymore. What once was a stable at least for Sunday dinner is now a rare treat in most households. Some will make it on Fat Tuesday or similar occasion.

My partner is not from the south and he delights in correcting my speech...at times it drive me crazy!!!!!! But for him it's all in good fun...so I try to humor the old guy.
Paula Dean: Bless her heart..as we say in the south. I agree with Angus...I don't know anyone in or from the south that uses "ya'll" as much as she does. In fact between the constant finger licking, fingers and rings in the food, feeding the dogs from the counter/table and saying "ya'll" every 5 seconds...I cannot watch her program. I'm sorry she's encountered some health problems..but that's to be expected when everything she puts in her mounth is laced with butter and sugar. I ate at her restruant in Miss. back in the fall.....it was good...but few choices that didn't involve high fat and sugar.

Yes and apparently Ms Deen and her two sons have been offered "lucrative contracts" to shill for that drug company. May I ask exactly what credibility her two sons have for this? Nepotism anyone? And while the drug company is paying them their fat salaries how many underprivileged folks won't have access to that drug (I hear it runs $500 per month)? I often wonder when we buy things, how much of the cost is due to the celebrities being paid to endorse...

Crisco and Fried Chicken
Nupe....Crisco does not fry chicken as well as lard...yes, lard.
I would imagine Crisco is only a few molecules away from being plastic...lard will melt when you place a dollop on the top of your hand. Crisco, will sit there until Doomsday. (and most likely survive Doomsday).
This being said lard will hold up when frying just fine.
The flavor imparted by lard when frying chicken is second to none.

Best Southern Accent From A Non-Native
IMHO has to go hands down to Mr. Robert Duvall.
Listen to him not only in the film "Something To Talk About" but also the little known "Tomorrow". One could almost picture him sitting on the front porch shooting at lawn jockeys. *LOL*
