* ObfuscatingStupidity: Dennis, the customer in Vern's comic book shop, appears to be TheStoner and seems to be completely blown away by Vern's koan style riddles. He responds by coming up with an embarrassingly childish riddle of his own ("What's a ghost's favourite colour? Boo.") and then trying (and failing) to explain why it is actually deep. However, he is later revealed to be a player of the game himself, and as skilled at riddles as Sara and Vern.
