When I was a kid, I had a talking Rodney Allen Rippy doll by Shindana toys. I lugged that little guy w/ me everywhere! He was my constant companion. I have one now, but sadly, he no longer talks. On his t-shirt it says “Take Life A Little Easier”.
Wow. That doll sounds familiar. I certainly remember the commercial and song.
