![]() ![]() The show makes Dave’s sidekicks even more human and complicated than him - the highlight of Ally’s episode is the beautiful, emotionally fraught toast she delivers at her sister’s wedding, where she manages to turn their lifelong rivalry into a positive thing - and in the process becomes something more compelling and richer than if we were just meant to cheer him on. And as the fictional Dave’s celebrity begins to approach that of the real Dave Burd - one episode features Dave hanging around with, among others, Justin Bieber, Benny Blanco, Marshmello, and Kourtney Kardashian (maybe the most relaxed and human she’s ever seemed on TV) - the show is also smart enough to ask whether we should be rooting for him to succeed, or yelling at him for turning into an entitled ass. Later episodes deftly balance character work with dick jokes, including spotlights on Ally, who begins to feel left behind by Dave’s career ambitions, and on Dave’s friend and producer Elz (Travis “Taco” Bennett). But seeing them in the aftermath of that one made the entire world of the show seem more human and welcoming - and I laughed a lot at the third one, “Hypospadias,” about the extreme measures Dave takes to avoid letting girlfriend Ally (Taylor Misiak) see his penis in all its mangled glory. ![]() The episodes in between weren’t as serious as “Hype Man,” which had concluded with Dave encouraging GaTa to embrace his condition as part of his identity, rather than try to hide it. And it suggested that those early installments were keenly aware of their own scatological awkwardness. Here was an episode smart and empathetic and poignant enough to merit comparisons with Atlanta, for reasons beyond both shows taking place in the rap world and being part of the FX brand. (*) Burd co-created the series with Jeff Schaffer, who between The League and his work producing the later seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm has plenty of experience of writing people who can’t help putting their feet in their mouths. As GaTa’s erratic behavior in earlier episodes was explained as symptoms of his struggle with bipolar disorder, it felt like Dave as a whole was being similarly recontextualized. Then a friend encouraged me to jump ahead to the fifth episode, “Hype Man,” a purely dramatic spotlight on Dave’s titular friend GaTa (played by Burd’s actual hype man, whose real name is Davionte Ganter). (I had seen the “Freaky Friday” video with Chris Brown, and that was about it.) The first two episodes, filled with Dave making a fool of himself(*) and/or talking at great length about his deformed male anatomy, made me write the show off as decidedly Not For Me, and I moved on. I have to admit to knowing very little of either Lil Dicky or Dave Burd prior to Dave‘s premiere earlier this spring. I’m gonna understand the inner workings of a womanĭijon McFarlane, Twice As Nice.
