There was a Dilbert TV show. Because it wasn't written wholly by Adams, it was funny and engaging, with character development, a critical eye at business management, and it treated minorities like Alice and Asok with a modicum of dignity. While it might have been good compared to the original comic strip, it wasn't good TV or even good animation. There wasn't even a plot until the second season. It originally ran on UPN; when they dropped it, Adams accused UPN of pandering to African-Americans. (I watched it as reruns on Adult Swim.) I want to point out the episodes written by Adams alone:

1. An MLM hypnotizes people into following a cult led by Wally
2. Dilbert and a security guard play prince-and-the-pauper

That's it! He usually wasn't allowed to write alone. I'm not sure if we'll ever have an easier man to psychoanalyze. He was very interested in the power differential between laborers and managers because he always wanted more power. He put his hypnokink out in the open. He told us that he was Dilbert but he was actually the PHB.

Bonus sneer: Click on Asok's name; Adams put this character through literal multiple hells for some reason. I wonder how he felt about the real-world friend who inspired Asok.

Edit: This was supposed to be posted one level higher. I'm not good at Lemmy.

Okay this takes the cake wtf

ok if I saw “every male encounter is implied violence” tweeted from an anonymous account I’d see it as some based feminist thing that would send me into a spiral while trying to unpack it. Luckily it’s just weird brainrot from adams here
