The humor in the game is characterized by absurd and outrageous elements, such as a character driving a bathtub, which many players find hilarious. However, the comedic tone can be overshadowed by the frustration of losing progress, leading to a mixed experience where the initial lightheartedness gives way to a more challenging gameplay dynamic.
