The Pillsbury Doughboy has become a bit of an icon for the American Family. We've all grown to laugh with him, love with him, and eat with him. It's always a great thing, then, when we see him thrown into an ad for another product/service than we're used to seeing him in (horizontal intertextuality). So is the case in the above commercial - we smile when we see our familiar friend talking about Nestle Cookies, but we laugh when we realize it's actually a commercial for "Got Milk?" and he's been caught red-handed. Guess you can go wrong with the Pillsbury Doughboy - "woohoo"!

I've been trying for a few days, now, to figure out why this isn't formatting correctly (text), but haven't had any success, yet - sorry!
