The Virtual EmployeeEpisode Number: 25 Season Num: 2 First Aired: Tuesday May 30, 2000 Prod Code: 212 |
The engineers hear that there is an unused cube to be had. They discover its location and lay claim to it, before marketing can get a hold of it. To ensure that they don't lose this precious commodity, they quickly create an employee named Todd as a new employee and the cube's occupant. Word quickly spreads about this great new employee and soon Todd is made the engineering project head. So Dilbert and Alice find that they must do Todd's work in addition to their own and the Wally's When Catbert can't find any record of Todd, the engineers create an employee file for Todd. Catbert counteracts by instituting a rating system, which means that while Todd is the highest performer in the group, Wally is classified as "Retard", which gets him fired. The engineers decide they need to kill Todd. The Pointy-Haired boss overhears this and the engineering team is arrested and it's up to Dogbert and Wally to save the day.

(edit)
Asok: How do we kill someone who doesn't exist?
(edit)
Pointy-Haired Boss: While you two are lollygagging around, Todd's having important meetings with important people. I don't know how he does it all.
(edit)
Asok: And to think I emigrated here for the wide open spaces alluded to in folk songs and travel brochures. Never have I felt so betrayed.
(edit)
Dilbert: How do you steal garbage?
Asok: You can tuck it in your pants. (edit) Pointy-Haired Boss: It's a recycling container. No obsolete equipment, no food, no toenail clippings, no dead animals. I'm probably forgetting a few things. (edit)

One of the police officers questioning Dilbert is a character like Andy Sipowitz from NYPD Blue.
(edit)
Why aren't they morphing Wally too? He's in on the scam. They only morph Loud Howard, Asok, Alice, and Dilbert.
(edit)
Dilbert: "We have seen the face of Todd, and he is us."
An allusion to the religious idea of Imago Dei: in which we are created in the image and likeness of god. (edit) Dilbert: "We have seen the face of Todd, and he is us."
This is a paraphrase of a famous line spoken in the comic strip "Pogo." The original quote being "We have met the enemy, and he is us." (edit)
