I remember saying "that's good stuff, Maynard" but I don't recall where that saying came from. Anybody have a clue?

I believe that came from a Malt-O-Meal commercial.

I believe the saying comes from "The many loves of Dobie Gillis" back in the 50s. There was a character named Maynard G. Krebs played by Bob Denver of "Gilligan" fame.

Re: the maynard line.Something similar was used in the '84 film "Explorers" . I believe one of the other boy stars says it to River Phoenix, something like good job Maynard or way to go Maynard...whether it existed prior to that film(??) But they used it there..if you have it, take a listen.

It is from a Malt-O-Meal commercial in the 70s. A kid doesn't want to eat his food so he gives it to his imaginary friend, Maynard. The dad plays off Maynard by saying... *Points to everyone around the world* That's good stuff, Maynard

I haven't heard anyone say Good stuff, Maynard! in a long time. I never liked that saying.

Malt-o-meal. There were two versions of the commercial. Here's one of them (In this one, the kid is Maynard.)
