I cannot express how much I enjoyed watching Dave, the show. It is hilarious. It’s off the wall. And it is creative. This is a one of a kind series. The deprecating humor is mixed with a fun story of a guy getting famous on accident.
Premise of Dave
The show, Dave, is all about how Dave Burd became famous and became Lil’ Dicky. It all started with a music video on YouTube about how much his dick sucks. And then it goes viral. That leads to another viral video. That then leads to him working with some of the biggest artists in the business. He is self deprecating and very silly in his work. He is a non expecting rapper, being white, tall, skinny, and Jewish, and he makes this very clear. He play up his nerdiness but then surrounds himself with all the famous rappers of today.
His possy is also off the wall. There is GaTa, Dave’s depressed hype man. Then there is his manager, Mike, who is just too serious to understand any of what is happening to Dave. Between the three, the crazy ideas and plot lines for the show are perfectly executed.
The Hilarious Music Video
One of the most memorable moments of the show to me is the music video presented to his new record label. It’s at least ten minutes long, but probably longer. It is a full story that goes into every detail and very offensive. It starts with him on a stage at a huge amphitheater and ends with him in jail with a sign up sheet to give blowjobs. He is then goes to court, is released from jail, and continues with other adventures of his life. You would need to see the whole progression to even understand what it’s about. And even then, I was very confused.
The whole show goes on like this with weird thing after wierd thing. Off the wall thing after off the wall thing. There is a scene where he makes best friends with Kourtney Mary Kardashian (yes, the middle name of Mary is important) at Justin Bieber‘s house, when the famous producer, Benny Blanco,leaves his side for a bit.
I am looking forward to season 2 for when it comes out. I cannot wait to see where the ridiculousness that is this show goes and what celebrities show up. I want to hear more of his absurd songs. And I want to see what happens to Dave. How does he cope with everything coming into his life.
