Would jokes where Dilbert’s pointy-headed boss says idiotic things be less funny if the boss were replaced by a co-worker? If so, does that suggest bosses are Hated Enemies, and Dilbert jokes bring false laughter?
I don’t think this is true in general of Dilbert strips, but I would venture that it is true of an awful lot of Dilbert style or associated “humor”.
