Yup loads of times (my top toons doodles are from DDL and maxxed, my lower ones are from BRGGH and MML some tricks maxxed, none lower than that).

Twice I can recall in factory, where we got abandoned, i was on lower toon with MML doodle, the toon I was with was about 43 laffs, I was playing a toon about similar we didn't have much lure between us, I had blue magnets, but only 5, and had used a couple, we were abandoned and still had warehouse and silos to do, we dicided to go on. We had a few misses and near end had to ride our luck, I used the doodle JUMP trick 8 times all hit with +10, this was not much but it kept us in, and with a little luck we made it through.

In solo situtations they saved me aswell, one 10$ bill to hold single cog for 4 rounds, then use JUMP trick usually working and giving 20 or 30 laffs, if needed will repeat process until i think doodle has run out of steam or laffs are at good level again.

My top toons mainly now use doodles for fun, but again if in solo build situtation or when no ones want's to or can't toon me, or at end of battle if no one will toon up on last cog etc. will use to.

And even on occasion have gone on strike when toons in battle start training silly gags and won't help defeat big cogs properly, or when they think they can have free ride playing nothing, i'll use doodle, then again, saying help or choose better gags (word to that effect), basically saying i use doodle until you start playing.

Although have two maxxed doodles i usually use JUMP or second trick I brought from cattlelog, usually BEG or BACKFLIP, even though highest tricks do work, they are unreliable and tire doodle too quickly.

If doodle is in right mood, can get upto 8 jumps in a row, 80laffs, if really lucky may get one talk at 22laff, you do the maths

TBH tho, unless you work at getting tricks maxxed, or go to doodle training club, doodles very unreliable, and if you have toonup, there is not much point unless you like playing with your doodle, training takes long time and requires dedication. Maxxed trick doodles can be a help, if toonup less or you like soloing a lot, but other than that, they are just for fun.
