An episode of Dilbert, "The Off-Site Meeting" (season 2, episode 9) has Dilbert and his coworkers gathering at his house for a meeting
with an environmentalist who is suing their company. Alice sets up a game of paintball as an 'ice breaker' activity.

Dilbert
In this episode, an environmentalist, Elmer Oakley, is suing the company for "raping" a forest. The Pointy-haired boss
(voiced by Larry Miller) eventually has an idea to talk with Oakley to settle the issue, and in typical PHB fashion,
volunteers Dilberts' house for an off-site meeting. As the meeting starts, we hear from Wally, (voiced by Gordon Hunt)
who was in charge of the food and snacks. In "phase 1" of his analysis, he reports that his survey indicated that everyone
wanted hot dogs. When asked where they are, he states that aquisition was "phase 2", and he hoped to get to that
sometime in the next quarter.

Dilbert
In reply, he's immediately shot in the face with a paintball...

Dilbert
... By a now fully-outfitted Alice (voiced by Kathy Griffin.) "I guess we can go directly to the icebreaker
phase of the meeting. Everyone grab a paintgun, we're playing street rules!" (I have no idea what that means.  )
Her marker looks somewhat like an ATS AT-85, an early magazine-fed mechanical full-auto.

Dilbert
"Are your meetings always like this?" "Not always. One time, we had hotdogs! Ow!"

Dilbert
At which point everyone grabs a marker out of a crate full of them.

Dilbert
With, of course, the obligatory war cries.
The other markers look quite a bit like Airgun Designs AutoMag RT, albeit with the tank mounted
vertically at the bottom of the foregrip.

Dilbert
They also seem to have a slight problem with scale.

Dilbert
The game gets underway, basically as a free-for-all. No one except Alice wears any sort of
protective gear.

Dilbert
"That paint washes off, right?"

Dilbert
SPLAT, SPLACK, SPLAFFITY-SPLORK!

Dilbert
Within moments, Dilbert's entire house is covered in colored paint.

Dilbert
And moments later, Oakley runs from the house, pursuied by Alice, Wally and Asok.

Dilbert
"There's your consensus you tree-loving freak!"

Dilbert
"Nice going Dilbert. This is the last time I let you talk me into having an off-site meeting at your house!"

Dilbert
"I'll sue your tree-killing company into sawdust! But not before I win this icebreaker game!"
Oakley 'cocks' his RT for emphasis- by 'pumping' the foregrip forward and then back. RT's don't work that way.

Dilbert
Oakley then takes aim at the neighbors' elephant on his roof (it makes sense in context ).

Dilbert
Oakley lines up the crosshairs, despite the fact his marker doesn't have a telescope...

Dilbert
And fires, striking the already-distrubed elephant on the rump. The elephant gets angry and stomps the
treehouse into rubble...

Dilbert
Which collapses onto Dilbert's house, destroying it.

Dilbert
"My house! You destroyed my fortress of solitude!"
(Alice remarks it wasn't much of a fortress...)

Dilbert
Just then, Dogbert shows up in a helicopter, back from a mission 'looting national treasures'.

Dilbert
"I'm not afraid of some little dog!"

Dilbert
Dogbert, however, gives him a reason to be.
Note Okaley's marker flying away as he flung up his hands.

Dilbert
"Never mind".
