I never cared much for the pillsburry dough boy after he went on The Tonight Show with Johney Carson.

He just started saluting his arm and chanting:

WHITE FLOUR!!!

WHITE FLOUR!!!

WHITE FLOUR!!!

Never could get past the racism with him....

Someone care to explain the one on the right?

Passover calls for matza which the Pillsbury character on the right is depicted as. Matza is unleavened, no rising involved.

It could seem also to be making the in poor taste joke that the Jewish one went to the oven.

Puns being both the lowest and highest forms of humor, I suppose it could go either or both ways.
