In my opinion, no. The writing is quite weak and there's nothing particularly political about the show. I literally marathoned some of the episodes awhile back, but eventually, the dullness got to me and I had to stop. So maybe you should watch one episode to see if you like it, but in my opinion, it does not get better. Some interesting ideas, though, but again, animated sitcoms should, at least, be judged on the strength of their writing, how clever they are, how good the individual jokes and gags are, and in that respect, it almost totally fails.

It's very anti-corporate and libertarian.
It was funny and only got shitcanned because the network it was on wanted to be BET and then shut down.

wtf does "redpilled" mean

I love the show and sadly I have to agree. It's not particularly dense joke-wise

it's a label neckbeards use to give off the illusion that they're superior than everyone else

It's something from a movie made by trannies that Sup Forums picked up on and uses to mean "without illusion", "mindful of the truth", specifically relating to the cultural zeitgeist.

*cue reddit responses*

Dilbert cartoon was a great sleep aid.
I got the DVD set for Xmas back in 01 or whenever. Any time I needed to go to sleep, I'd just put it on.

The proto-Flash cartoons for that office company, or whatever. I remember finding those funny. Unfortunately, they're also lost media.

Scott Adams isn't redpilled. he's an autist who only endorsed Trump after Shilleryfags bullied him.

Promoting Loud Howard to main character was a stupid move. Any fan of the strip would be turned off by it as much as they would Dilbert's visible mouth.

Redpill predates The Matrix by years, cuck.

BRUH I'M IN DOWN BAD BRUH

Not bad, just kinda slow paced and a bit dull

Loud Howard is a goat character however

This. I actually own a bunch of the Dilbert compilation books, but the TV show was godawful. It turning out that years later the artist supports my political views was just a nice bonus.

The show does rag hard on corporate culture honestly, so it is anti-corporate to an extent.

link? otherwise you're full of shit

>Hating Loud Howard

fag.

>the Matrix went back in time and retroactively invented Lewis Carroll references!

As well as the comic, of course. That's one of the things they captured well from the comic, if not in quality, at least in style, but to properly capture the tone of the comic, you would have to have jokes that are as good as what was found in the comic, which would have been very difficult, so much of them are just mediocre imitations and some of them are just bad attempts as surrealist comedy.

Not him, but there were obvious influences of Alice in Wonderland on the Matrix, but the concept of red pill and blue pill was one one of them, except in a somewhat loose way of being presented two choices to each which would determine what would happen to you, which is a scene that occurs in Alice in Wonderland, but completely different from the red pill and blue pill scene in the Matrix.

was scott involved in the show in any meaningful way? i'm under the impression he just sold the rights of his characters.

*but the concept of the red pill and blue pill was NOT one of them

It's the eat-me/drink-me stuff from Alice in Wonderland. Lewis Caroll is right in the damn scene with the "rabbit hole" reference.
Almost nothing in Matrix is original. The whole story is a cyberpunk Jesus allegory with shit stolen off the production for Dark City.

I guess you've never watched Total Recall.

I really liked it. Better Office than The Office, both versions.

If you've ever read his blog and stuff there's some things from the show that overlap with what he writes about.

they never say "redpill" except for the part where they tell him to take a pill to go back to reality.

fuck you.

This fucking faggot. It's as if you can't have a goddamn conversation without having to provide bibliographical references for every point.

>likens the redpill literally to Alice going down the rabbit hole
>"alice going down the rabbit hole never happened"

...

You literally take a red pill to wake up to reality. Also nice job ignoring Why does it upset you so much that The Matrix is derivative as fuck?

I'm aware of that, but the redpill and blue pill itself was not from Alice in Wonderland, except in a loose sense from a particular scene, which would be this one. I'm copying it from the Disney movie because it's almost identical to the one in the book:

But Sup Forums isn't living in reality

>tfw I'll never be mad at another board on a Congolese call center forum
Feels good

this

as far as animation quality, tone, and ESPECIALLY voice casting, they did a terrific job

overall it's a very pleasant and well-made show

but it doesn't quite nail it as hard as it could have. you won't think it sucks, but you will also notice that there aren't very many lines that make you laugh.

bad comparison

The Office is the epitome of cringe humor. It's torture porn with social situations.

Dilbert is a relatively low key and more conventional sitcom. It's very easy to watch.

besides the fact that they take place in offices, they are nothing alike

I don't care for the The Office, but is it really fair to say that Dilbert, a show that completely failed to get an audience, is better than The Office, one of the most successful sitcoms of the last decade?

it was good to watch at like 3 AM on a weeknight on cable TV. what else was on?

What channel shows Dilbert at that time?

i have no idea what channel it was on. probably comedy central. this happened a long time ago. like 7-10 years.

Oh. Seems like an irrelevant point, then.

I think IFC showed Dilbert for a while

The Dilbert cartoon is great, I highly reccomend it.

The show was good
Much better than the strip

Premiered on UPN for some reason, had reruns on Comedy Central and IFC

Anything that manages to get through to the big screen or television is heavily modified to promote certain (((views))).

Is the strip better than the show?

>Much better than the strip
Definitely not. The strip has declined in recent years, but it used to be much sharper and genuinely wittier than anything on the show. It's not entirely a fair comparison because a cartoon needs much, much more content than a daily comic strip, but the cartoon lasted much shorter and I think its quality reflects that.

No. It was really boring and the jokes fell through. Also Scott Adams himself is a literal cuckold.

This is my favorite episode, highly recommend it. Really surprised it didn't gain cult status. I heard Scott Adams would lock himself in his room for days on end to animate thee frame by frame, said it felt like he was channeling something greater then himself. He'd just gone through a divorce an swore off alcohol after hitting rock bottom, he really put turned that inner turmoil into his work.

Then it's being self-referential and not necessarily anti-anything.

They did on Sundays when everyone was at church or elsewise busy.

stopped watching at "acorn"
lowest form etc

>Scott Adams
>pro-Trump

What the heck happened? I saw him on Real Time earlier this year and he really thought poorly of Trump - even though he firmly believe he was going to win.

He's a misanthrope, through and through. Trump represents the ugly parts of humanity he believes will prevail. I've read two of his books and he's a really sad, angry man.

Being anti-corruption is pro-Trump this year.

...

Which books?

...

God's Debris and another one I don't remember the name of

Where's the joke Buckley

Really? I read that one. When you said sad, angry man I was expecting there was a book that read like his Twitter.

Literally me

marked hard when this happened

The only episode I can remember is the one about employees being sacked, turned into little gnomes (because of "reduction" in the department) and forming a savage hidden tribe in the office while getting high in stolen sharpie fumes.

The 12-year old myself was somewhat entertained with it. The opening scene was also neat.

They're still closer than even your average Leftist.

Literally everyone that isn't Sup Forums is a leftist.

u wot

Only episode I remember was one where they go to some shitty country that lives off some terrible food and they fix their crisis with ketchup.

I was just thinking the other day whether somebody had compiled all the dilbert mentions of DJT, I know there are more. One where dogbert becomes Donald trumps hair or something.

>right now Sup Forums is spreading a conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton is a satanist

Sure thing buddy, they totally live in reality

Scott Adams is an Engineer.

Pretty much every person in STEM or industry-fields are voting for Trump, because they're the ones that are on the chopping-block when Democrats are in office and enact "Pro-Diversity Legislation".

This show made me feel despair.

Got a source on that outrageous claim friend?

...

...

...

...

Talking to STEM people.

And basic logic.

Why the fuck would people whose jobs are threatened by outsourcing and H1B-abuse vote for the candidate that supports outsourcing and H1B-abuse?

...

In other words you have no source

>tfw this isn't the Dilbert they have in the newspaper or made a show out of

>tfw Scott Adams sent an email saying "Do you want to go to jail?" to the guy who made these who is not in jail

Scott Adams is a dipshit

>had a pretend mental disorder

Got a source on that outrageous claim friend?

"STEM" workers =/= code monkey CS majors who are easily replaced with a Pradesh

>people that fell for the STEM meme

they fucking deserve it kek.

I looked into it because I was interested in the idea, and what do you know, the data says the exact opposite of what that user claims, trump is doing badly with college-educated males, even white ones.

sage, cause this thread is obvious Sup Forumsbait

>fivethirtyeight

What's wrong with fivethirtyeight?

>Is it redpilled and pro-Trump like Scott Adams?

haha fag

it's a reference to the matrix in which one is aware of the true nature of things. in the parlance of Sup Forums it is used by the Sup Forums board to indicate that you know the government is composed of jews and reptilians and that you definitely don't have a small penis or a deep-rooted persecution complex. and you know 9/11 was done in order to further the isralie agenda. also donald trump, who is a bankrupt real estate man, somehow conforms to this set of beliefs and will save us and our guns from the liberals (i.e. progressives)
