Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the name of the fast-food restaurant that invites you to yell at their employees?

Answer: Char-Cow Burger

The restaurant was also giving away free Dupeys, even though they didn't have any and didn't know what they were. This got even the normally-pacifistic Dilbert to give the guy at the counter a whack!

2. According to Dogbert's Baby Assertiveness Seminar, what was a baby's most powerful weapon?

Answer: Cuteness

Other topics Dogbert was talking to the babies on included Guilt ("if you parents feel guilty, they are guilty") and making all the candy in the jar yours by the miracle of slobber.

3. What was the name of the store from which Alice bought some Dupeys?

Answer: Toys B Here

Alice bought a bunch of Dupeys and put them in her bottom desk drawer at work (she named a few of them ... Billy, Eric and Sebastian). Later, after they mutated, the PHB let them out and declined their offers of thanks (which included curing a disease and creating a new fuel source).

4. Who provided the voice for the Dupey that Dilbert raised?

Answer: Christopher Guest

Second City and SNL-alumnist Christopher Guest is probably best known for his work in many comedy films, such as "This is Spinal Tap", "A Mighty Wind", "Best of Show" and "Waiting for Guffman".

5. How exactly were Ann and Ken from marketing killed?

Answer: They were in the path of Loud Howard's sneeze

Loud Howard's sneezes are the stuff of legend, only skeletons were left of both Ann and Ken.

6. What newspaper was the guy at the landfill reading when Dilbert and the Garbage Man arrived?

Answer: Racing Form

Dilbert and the Garbage Man were trying to save the Dupeys from being pecked to death by seagulls. The guy at Garbage Oasis stressed that the rule was that no one took anything out of the landfill, and was very covetous of anyone looking at the melon rinds.

7. After the Dupeys mutated (and sales fell dramatically), the PHB announced that they were reintroducing the Dupey product line as what?

Answer: Pizza Topping

Dilbert was, of course, shocked by this development. Ratbert was happy though, since his perceived status as cutest member of the family was restored.

8. According to the Garbage Man, what is smarter than bananas?

Answer: Pineapples

The Garbage Man stressed that everything was relative. The PHB lost a game of chess to a pineapple in the next scene.

9. What did the Garbage Man suggest Dilbert market the Dupeys as to keep them from being food?

Answer: Insurance salesmen

Dilbert went to the firm of Billem & Lovett Advertising to get the billboards up. The slogan: "Dupeys: They're like little insurance salesmen with wings".

Answer: Apple Computers

A great dig at companies that make every worker use PCs at work (when Apples are almost always better).
