 Did you Know...?: Pillsbury Doughboy
The character was quite a risk--making a 3-D claymation Doughboy costs a whopping $16,000!
Almost 100 years after The Pillsbury Company was founded in 1869, a new and enduring mascot was introduced--one who would change the face of carb-centric goodies forever--the Pillsbury Doughboy.

 Spokestoon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An established cartoon character who is hired to endorse a product, a spokestoon should not be equated with a cartoon character invented specifically to give identity to a product, such as the Michelin Man, Speedy Alka-Seltzer or the Pillsbury Doughboy.
For these and more, see List of advertising characters.
Though fast food franchises have used gimmicks to tie-in temporarily with current releases of animated features since the 1950s, a few toons have become more permanently associated with a product or service offered by corporate culture and may be considered genuine spokestoons.

 Salon Newsreal Mighty Mark strikes out
In place of Ruth's roguish swagger, McGwire substitutes a Rambo-like lurch, roughly the difference, in military terms, between a fresh-faced doughboy scrambling onto the beaches of Normandy and a million-dollar Tomahawk missile flying 800 miles to annihilate a pharmaceutical plant.
McGwire's response to the pill controversy so far has been straight out of the Clinton playbook: Act offended that anyone would even dare to question your character, while reminding everyone that you didn't break any law.
McGwire's other known booster of choice, creatine, is produced naturally by the body as well, but not at the unnaturally inflated levels found in athletes' taking supplements.

 [6-19-98] Infinite, Ice Cube: From Death Certificate to The Player's Club
Side one, the "death" side, presented a face similar to Cube's Doughboy character from Boyz N The Hood-the crack dealing hardrock with philosophical charm.
On Death Certificate, Ice Cube was taking a stand for the freedom, justice and equality of his people by successfully presenting the ills of the Black community and redirecting energies to a more positive effect.
Unfortunately, I kept thinking of the actor/rapper's 1992 music release Death Certificate and, to my eyes, The Player's Club is a walk through the death side.

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Charles Chaplin - A First National Collection at Epinions.com
Regardless of the category that it belongs in, Shoulder Arms is a funny movie, and the only film in which his character depicts a soldier during wartime.
Chaplin originally intended to begin the film with scenes of the doughboy's home life, which includes an abusive, unseen wife and three little tykes who walk and talk like Chaplin himself.
With a running length of 45 minutes, Shoulder Arms is either Charlie Chaplin's longest short, or his shortest feature.
