Dilbert

1999 30 episodes

Dilbert, the bespectacled potato-shaped engineer with the upwardly mobile tie, is the poster boy for the corporately disenfranchised. Though Adams's cynical, cubicle eye-view of corporate culture was somewhat co-opted by The Drew Carey Show, animation gives the series a surreal flourish not possible in a live-action series.
