On this month's super-sized AD, the guys are chatting about what Chris Cabin so rightly deemed "Libertarian Wallace and Gromit," it's the endlessly obnoxious Dilbert! 

The episode in question, "Little People," originally aired back on April 5, 1999, and features Dilbert getting accused of looking at pornography at work, Dogbert admitting he doesn't believe in evolution, a bunch of employees getting high on markers, and an army of tiny people living beneath the floor of the office! PLUS: Did Ben Shapiro model his personality after Dogbert?

What happened to Scott Adams? I mean maybe he was always an asshole, but he must have had some kind of ability to...you know, not be a complete maniac or he wouldn't have gotten off the ground in the first place. My guess? Like Rudy Giuliani, papa likes the hooch.

Driven narcissist. Look up stories about how he thought his "Dilberito" frozen food was a failure not because by all accounts they tasted terrible and made you incredibly flatulent, but because "big frozen pizza" was sending agents to grocery stores and hiding the stock behind other products. He's also run at least one restaurant into the ground. He just has this trail of failed ideas behind him much like one D. Trump.

I need to know more about the new theme song!! It's so cosmic and gorgeous. I'd love to hear it as an isolated track!

The bit about Dogbert criticizing Dilbert’s masturbation game gave me flashbacks of A Boy and His Dog. I can picture Dogbert muttering, “Breeding is an ugly thing,” while watching Dilbert get it wet.

I love all of Eric's feelings about humanity and they mirror a lot of my own. So, I hate myself a little bit for loving office food so much. I think it's because the food is the only bonus we're allowed any more ...

I owned a few collections of Dilbert, Calvin and Hobbes, and Far Side in my preteen years. Dilbert got sent to the yard sale over a decade ago for obvious reasons but I look forward to sharing the other two with my kids when they get older. For me Calvin and Hobbes still remains a beloved and generally untouched piece of nostalgia and those seem less and less common these days.

Remember Silly Slammers? My dad was a big Dilbert fan (and also a techy IT guy) and had Silly Slammers of Dilbert, Dogbert, and the Pointy-Haired Boss on top of the family computer. Dilbert comics were really the only comic collections that our family had, so sadly I read a lot but I was like, six, so I never really got it. It was a great day when I picked up a Garfield book at a yard sale.

I did like the Dilbert strip back in the late '90s/early 2000's, had several of the book collections. But never saw this cartoon, and lost interest before I noticed what a horrible person Adams is. This doesn't sound like the strip I enjoyed, but I could have just been a stupid kid and now blinded by nostalgia.

I first noticed a shift in Adams's work when reading The Dilbert Future. His attributing his success to the power of positivity and writing down affirmations was jarring coming from someone who had thus far presented himself as a skeptic. (Rhonda's Byrne's "The Secret" made similar claims.) For me, his tendency toward contrarianism gradually turned him from a skeptic to an out-and-out eccentric. Everybody thought Dilbert was an alter-ego for Adams, when he was actually Dogbert the whole time.

Who else rushed to IMDB to confirm that it was a different David Silverman?

"You're chugging your Fruitopia, you're stroking your fuckin troll's hair, having a great...great time." Pure poetry.

Never knew this cartoon existed and damn glad I never saw it because yuck. I think I can only count on one hand how many Dilbert strips I found funny in the past 20+ years even with having an office job.

Eric and the rest of the gang are spot on with the take on the office potluck/pizza party. Some food from your gross coworker’s gross house? No thanks! Your employer acting like you should blow them for getting you some shitty Little Caesars pizza? Nope!
