    I feel like them acting like dogs is a punchline without a setup. There’s nothing that links the comic to the dogs-freaking-out-when-someone-vanishes meme, so it just comes out of left field without landing comedically.

    Imagine that this is a sketch people are performing. Do you laugh when the guys start barking, or are you confused because they start barking for no reason when a guy was just quitting?

      See, this is exactly why I thought it was funny; came out of nowhere. But that’s what is great about humor - lots of different flavors for different types of people. You do need to know about the Internet “dog trick” to get it though.

      He lifted the list up like a blanket and disappeared like people do when they’re playing a trick on their pets

      I’m also assuming he sprayed “essence of dog potion” in there for them to react like that but that’s another thing

    I expected barrier aggression in doges but no barrier. I am confuzzled. Also no doges.
