Dave Burd, main character and creator of 'Dave', spends a lot of FXX's comedy justifying the name and identity of his YouTube-rapping alter ego Lil Dicky
, spends a lot of FXX's comedy justifying the name and identity of his YouTube-rapping alter ego Lil Dicky.
In one early episode, Dave announces, "It's actually a super-intellectual commentary on hyper-masculinity.". Well, not the "super-intellectual" part, but I'd maybe go so far as to say "smarter than you might expect.
The joke, such as this feels like a joke worth making in 2020, is that Dave is a vaguely morose, middle-class Jew from suburban Philly and nobody takes him seriously as a rapper, but he fortunately takes himself seriously enough for an entire posse and when the light goes on, it turns out that Lil Dicky is possessed of some moderate rapping skill.

Independent Bookstore Puts The Dave Eggers Right Where The Fuckers Can Find ThemPORTLAND, ME—Saying that he wanted to make things as easy as possible for all the dumbshits to locate, Back Pages Bookshop owner Stephen Larrick told reporters Friday that he had placed all of the Dave Eggers titles on a table near the independent bookstore’s entrance where any stupid son of a bitch who wandered in could find them. “A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius, Zeitoun, the new one—I piled all that shit smack-dab in the middle of the room for the dum-dums to snatch up,” Larrick said of the centrally located display, adding that he had attached a handwritten list of staff recommendations that directed the fuckers to several further titles located nearby. “And wait until these dim bulbs see the bookcase I set up with those anthologies of George Saunders’ short stories. They’ll start squealing like pigs in shit.” Larrick added that he would almost feel bad for these chumps if he wasn’t riding them straight to the goddamn bank.
