Dilbert Audience Reviews

Pluskylang Great Film overall
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
TheExpatriate700 The 1990s UPN adaption of Scott Adams's Dilbert does a reasonably good job of capturing the comic strip's bleakly humorous vision of corporate life. Featuring excellent vocal talent and an anarchic sense of humor, it makes for worthwhile viewing despite some weak points.Most of the elements familiar to fans of the strip are present – Dilbert and his coworkers, Dogbert, Elbonia, and the ever competent pointy- haired boss. The characters are backed up by a superb voice cast, with Chris Elliott a stand out as Dogbert. The voice actors become their characters, to the point that it seems odd to hear other actors voice them in later web-based adaptations.The series also features an anarchic sense of humor. Although early episodes seem strained, trying almost too hard to be over the top, the writing soon settles into a comfortable groove, plunging Dilbert into a variety of absurd situations. Episodes involving a cute, Beanie Baby- like toy that evolves, electronic voting machines, and an off-site meeting are particular stand outs. An episode using a non-existent co- worker as an atheist metaphor is also memorable.Dilbert suffered from some flaws. Aside from the weaker early episodes, the last few episodes, in a desperate attempt to attract more viewers, started over-relying on guest stars – including the professional wrestler Steve Austin – to the point that it weakened the show. Still, this series is well worth seeking out.
cobra-8 This was one of the only comedies I've ever seen that has ever been able to successfully blend such ridiculous premises with such clever humour. Especially for a cartoon, most of which are so mind-numbingly idiotic that you feel insulted watching them.The characters, all outlandish and over-the-top, are well developed and larger-than-life in their own individual ways, as opposed to clones of one weird character that might make the show boring and repetitive. Dogbert in particular stands out as a shining example. Even guest characters like Bob Bastard (one of my personal favourites) and Lena the Warrior Engineer are superbly fleshed out and captivating.The plot lines are all so far-fetched and zany that they could easily slip into the 'Family Guy' genre but the writers, goofy as their ideas may be, infuse the madness with smart jokes, witty dialogue, and even some well-executed slapstick. And they can pull off both kinds of comedy in such a way that they compliment, rather than clash with, each other.Unfortunately, this sort of humour was just too much of an acquired taste for the average audience to grasp. The failure of Dilbert and the success of cartoons such as Family Guy are proof that there really isn't much of a future for intelligent comedy - the general TV- watching masses are simply, sorry to be so blunt, too thick.Too bad. I miss this show a lot.
disdressed12 this animated show is hysterical.not only is it insanely funny,but it is also very cleverly written.i like the fact that it makes fun of society and our way of life.i don't agree with certain philosophies on the show,but that doesn't mean i like it any less.i also thought the voice casting is brilliant.the show didn't last very long,and i'm not sure why,but it sure was great while it lasted.for those of you not familiar with Dilbert,he started out in a comic strip.he's an engineer at a huge company.and like hundreds(or thousands)of employees)he spends his day in a cubicle.there are no walls and no doors,except fir the boss,of course.what the company actually does is anybodies guess.there are a great mix of characters in this show.other than the boss,i won't go int any detail here.lets just say that each character's quirks make for some very interesting and very funny moments.as for the boss,well,he's dumber than a fence post,but very likable.some of the stuff he comes up with are brilliant in their stupidity.you'll definitely be scratching you head a lot.when you add all the components of the show together,you have one brilliant result.i highly recommend "Dilbert".you will be holding your gut from laughter a lot.i give it 10/10
Tommy Nelson Stars: Daniel Stern as Dilbert. Chris Elliot as Dogbert. Kathy Griffin as Alice. Gordon Hunt as Wally. Larry Miller as the Boss. Jackie Hoffman as Dilmom. Tom Kenny as Ratbert and Ashook. Jim Wise as Loud Howard. Jason Alexander as Catbert. Maurice La Marche as the Trash Man.This was one of those gem shows that for some reason only picked up a select cult audience. Because of that it was canceled, even though it was a great show. It was about workaholic Dilbert and his life in his cubicle. His closest friends are Dogbert, his talking pet dog that's smarter than him, Alice and Wally, his buddies from work and the mysterious trashman who always disappears after giving advice. I highly recommend you buy the DVD because this was a great show, and its a shame only 2 seasons were produced.My rating: 9 out of 10. 30 episodes. TV PG.
