Dave

Overview: A comedy where David Burd, a.k.a. Lil Dicky, plays a fictionalized version of himself. In the show, his character is an aspiring rapper. 20210904:
Today I started watching again. It's been a year since I watched the show.
20240808:
After watching the second episode, the show feels raw and honest with some dramatization and artistic license as to what would be in the mind and challenges of Dave Burd. That is, I highly doubt much of the mental themes are made up. Truth is stranger than fiction. This show is the fictionalization of the truth.

20240813:
Overall this season ended great. As there's a story arc of sorts. There's arguably some growth for Dave. With that being said, I thought the season started slow. I love the increase in song tracks towards the end of the season.

It appears this episode is based on his actual appearance on the show.

S2E1:
hehe BTS
hehe I dont remember this intern from season one but lightly humorous how they treat him
hehe no backup. i get it... we genetally dont think about that kind of thing until it's too late [Dave: from the hackers]
lol gata still has weed and their text conversation
wow things got sooo dramatic with Dan being in jail and upset, and calling Dave kut for his offensive video among other things
hehe... i guess he got what was coming to him.
also the track was not even really funny in any way.

S2E2:
1: hmm... so the thing about Dave (the show character, not the real person)... is I empathize with him, yet he's also unlikeable. He's unlikeable in a real way as opposed to in a satire way, e.g., Always Sunny characters. As such, the show is currently feeling more drama than comedy.
1: throughout the episode you get Emma and Elz as some kind of foil. Emma gets ticked off at the cyclist and runs after him. says fuck you and says defensively that she's not a bad driver. Elz does cocaine.
1: the episode ends with Dave masturbating with ants on his device and crashing out a window before a plot twist.
Dave tried to do the auto tune with the girl but she doesnt get it. btw her replies reminded me of his track with Brain ("Pillow Talking")

*Jotted down some notes after watching the episode

S2E3:
he could/ should have easily turned his head... (Dave throws up on Ally's back). I guess it was written in for comedic effect to break tension but... I guess I can't read the show... in other two episodes it wasn't afraid to commit and here in this moment he vomits in her wound. I guess it could be a metaphor but the obvious reason is they just decided to go for a quick laugh [20240815: the action ends up in a song, so I guess the song was written in coordination with the episode which is rather genius]
I noticed Scooter Braun is an executive producer... [he manages Lil Dicky, but many artists managed by Bruan started leaving him. not sure if LD would follow suit]
1=20240809

S2E4:
episode started with rising tension between Elz and LD but ended on a light note woth LD looking like he wanted to resolve. meanwhile there's a sidestories with Mark and Gata. I was afraid when Gata hopped the fence tonuse the outlets. especially when all the lights whent out. but in the end he arrives at the bar mitzcah with the best ending after everything went poorly

S2E6:
[lost my notes for this when computer crashed; some notes below from memory]
Doja Cat!?!
Smile. "big breasts"
I love this text style of narrative
Aww... Dave's personality ruins an opportunity... they were getting along great until his character flaw kicked in (though I guess it could be considered an exaggeration of what many people go through?)
did that chain of dating result in the last guy matching with Ally?
1=20240812

S2E7:
this episode with Emma and kind of a backwards based video was cool. interesting cliffhanger end. I'm not quite sure I understood Emma's reaction. I think she felt screwed over in the ad pitch but so what... she's been living in Dave's shadoe ever since? did they stop being as good of friends?
1=20240813

S2E8:
hmm... so Ally's Song appears here. I heard Penith prior to watching this season, so I knew about the track and I apready liked it. in any case the "puked on you" has a relevance to the episode where he puked on her so that was neat inncontext of the show. meanwhile the arc with his parents makes this a lighter epusode even though there was some tension quickly resolved at dinner

S2E9:
is one of these two rick? or is rick just a red herring?
hehe Flea afraid of spiders
smile. the lyrics sticking up images from maxim.com...
that's a joke. oh yeah this was a good track
1=20240813

S2E10:
hehe he's on the billboard, a reference to his ad idea in previous episode
holy shit. I didn't see that ending coming. even right up to where gata puts on his glasses. it's cut so well it looks like he's viewing the show like everyone else (ally and emma). in any case it had me with tears in my ducts for several seconds (where usually it's just a moment) as they're coming out and singing "we're good" (which is on the album). I'm trying to remember though... the last time... oh yeah snoopy. that was a longer than average moment where I had tears in my ducts. but this was even more. i kind of let out severap sighs as if crying without any tears falling. [i guess the term should be "teary eyed"]
