#25: From Doughboy to Digital
Here’s a layered joke—literally. The Pillsbury Doughboy looks on wistfully as someone “pokes” a phone screen, remembering when pokes belonged to him. First it was the commercials, then it was Facebook, now it’s apps and emojis. The poor guy has been replaced by touchscreen culture.

What makes it funny is the melancholy twist. A mascot who once lived for giggles is now out of work, watching humans poke pixels instead of bellies. It’s nostalgia and satire rolled together, reminding us how quickly cultural icons get sidelined by tech—cute, clever, and a little bittersweet.
