Humor:

  • The humor in this strip comes from Dilbert's deadpan delivery and Dogbert's absurd suggestion.
  • The idea of keeping customers' brains frozen in a river is ridiculous and over-the-top, adding to the comedic effect.
  • The punchline about the best kind of customers being those who can't write bad Yelp reviews is also humorous, as it pokes fun at the common practice of leaving negative reviews online.
