I never heard of the cereal before.

Here is John Lawlor in the Malt-O-Meal commercial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LK0RQrHlLFE). That other dude isn't John Lawlor.

That was a really popular saying, back in 1981-ish. I remember my parents quoting the commercial.

I don't know about that! We've got "Butt out, Garrett", "Miss Mahoney's been around", and "The trophy is MINE!" :lol:

It's too bad Mr. Bradley never had a catchphrase. Something like "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Miss Mahoney?" ;)

Yeah, that first link is wrong. I hope 80s Dude will edit the post, to clarify. But John Lawlor was definitely the Malt-O-Meal Dad in other commercials, as linked below the original post. I wonder who came first? Did John swoop in and steal the role? Or did John's agent call with the "good news" that he was "free" to pursue other acting roles?
