The Knack - Dilbert Season one episode
November 4th, 2007 | by A T M |Dilbert’s Knack. I was watching this season one episode over the weekend. First let me tell you the story in the unpopular dilbert bulleted style.
- The engineer Dilbert drinks coffee, accidentally from his pointy manager’s mug.
- That makes him lose the knack for technology.
- The planned outer space advertising campaign is misfired and disturbs the orbit of satellites.
- In a chain of events, it collapses the modern technological society. There’s no power and communication.
- People go back to ancient times but they are happy with the olden lifestyle.
- Dilbert is upset and regains his knack.
- Restores the orbit of the satellites and brings back the modern life.
If I chop the story even more, this is how it would have been briefed to the animators.
Wrong Cofee mug –> Misfired Advertising campaign –> satellites going out of orbit -> Downfall of civilisation -> Single handed restoring of the society.
This is the first minute animation of that video. You’ll find the entire length on youtube.
In the first place, I wonder how he would have thought of such a story. Secondly, how he would have convinced the creators that it’s going to receive a good laugh. A highly irrational piece of imagination spun together with a logically sequenced events. That’s why Scott Adams is my God of imagination.
