Dilbert 12/1 - actually funny!

Okay, i gotta say it, today’s Dilbert cracked me up so much I spilled coffee on the dog.

Might be funnier if you start with yesterday’s strip and move forward to today’s:
Dilbert 11/30/2016

I’m cracking up about you spilling coffee on the dog!

If this counts as funny, Dilbert must have been really bad lately. (I haven’t read it for 10+ years)

Didn’t think it was funny at all.

OK. I laughed.

That is pretty funny. :smiley:

I smiled a little, that’s it.

I give it a meh+

It’s about on the level of a ghost named “Notme!” Seriously, Dilbert making a joke about how your boss gives you dumb work? BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Treading new ground there!

It isn’t about the work. It is about his brain escaping.

I found it pretty amusing. (I did misunderstand the OP initially, though. The comic linked to is the set-up comic and you have to go forward to read the comic that is the subject of the OP. For some reason, I originally thought the linked comic was the OP comic and the set up was the one before that.)

AB gets his coffee from Starberts, served by a bertista named Joebert.

I haven’t read Dilbert for years. Big fan maybe twenty years because he could actually craft a joke. Set up a premise and then pull the ol’ switcheroo. Sometimes he’d even do it twice in a three part strip. But this… oh look, Dilbert’s brain is literally trying to escape! Sorry, just didn’t work for me. Ah well, at least Adams used to be clever.

…yeah. I got that.

It’s a meta-joke. it’s autobiographical.

I thought the brain coming out of Dilbert’s ass joke was kind of amusing, and I did not see that coming.

Yeah, I’m wondering how many above realized that I was referencing the next strip in the series, not the one directly linked. There’s nothing terribly funny about the first one, but it takes that setup to make the second one work.

Agree that Dilbert has become 99% tedious recycling, but I still glance at it from time to time. The unexpected twist - for this strip - got me.

Moving to CS.

For me, it wasn’t laugh-out-loud funny, but it was eww-out-loud gross.
