Ep 8. Hunger

Dilbert season 2 episode 8, entitled "Hunger," follows the daily life of Dilbert, his friends, and colleagues at the company where they work. In this episode, the employees are gathered in a conference room, awaiting a presentation from a food company that is introducing a new snack line.

The employees are all excited about the prospect of free food and eagerly await the arrival of the food company representatives. However, when the representative finally shows up, Dilbert and his coworkers are disappointed to find that the samples of the new snack line are not food at all, but rather, inedible pieces of plastic.

Despite this setback, Dilbert and his colleagues continue their workday, but begin to experience extreme hunger pangs as a result of their disappointment. Dilbert, who is particularly affected by the hunger, begins to hallucinate, seeing his boss as a towering monster and his coworkers as cartoon characters.

As Dilbert's hunger worsens, he and his coworkers become increasingly agitated. One employee even threatens to quit his job if he is not provided with food soon. Finally, Dilbert's boss agrees to order pizza for the office, and the tension is temporarily alleviated.

However, as the employees eat the pizza, they notice that it is overly greasy and not very appetizing. One employee complains that the pizza is reminiscent of "liquid garbage," and the group begins to feel even more ill.

In the end, the employees come to the realization that they have been so focused on their hunger that they have neglected their work. They vow to refocus their efforts and make up for lost time, even as they continue to suffer from the effects of the terrible pizza.

Overall, "Hunger" is a humorous episode that pokes fun at corporate culture, bureaucracy, and the human need for sustenance. While the premise is simple, the episode manages to offer an insightful commentary on the modern workplace and the absurdities that can arise from the daily grind. Fans of Dilbert and workplace humor are sure to appreciate this episode's biting wit and clever observations.
