8	----
9	!!''Dave'' contains the following tropes:
10
11	* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: When Dave doesn't invite them to a party at Music/JustinBieber's house, Ally and Elz get drunk at a sports bar. Later, they crash Bieber's party anyway, where Elz picks a fight with {{Music/Marshmello}}.
12	* AsHimself: Apart from Dave and [=GaTa=], many other celebrities appear on the show as themselves, such as Music/JustinBieber, {{Music/Macklemore}}, Benny Blanco, YG, {{Music/Marshmello}}, and [[Series/KeepingUpWithTheKardashians Kourtney Kardashian]].
13	* BunnyEarsLawyer: In-universe, Dave is socially-awkward and a bit of a {{Jerkass}}, but he's a fantastic freestyle rapper who never fails to impress.
14	* CaughtWithYourPantsDown: In "Hypospadias", Ally catches Dave masturbating with a rubber female sex aid, leading to a discussion about intimacy and Dave's sexual hangups.
15	* TheCameo: The show is set in the modern music industry in LA, so there are ''loads'' of them.
16	* DidYouJustHaveSex: [=GaTa=] takes about five seconds to work out that Elz and Emma have been sleeping together.
17	* LenoDevice: A radio version, to promote his music Dave goes on The Breakfast Club, a radio show that in real life is famous for having rappers/R&B artists on as guests. The show is also infamous for the gaffes the hosts and/or guests make, and Dave almost puts his foot in his mouth about cultural appropriation.
18	* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: DiscussedTrope since Dave is a white rapper.
19	* PrisonRape: Features in the controversial track that Dave want to release as his first single.
20	* SelfDeprecation: As much a part of the fictional Dave's career as the real one. His first in-show viral hit is even called "My Dick Sucks".
21	* ShaggyDogStory: In "Dave's First", Dave is asked to perform at a memorial show for a recently-deceased 10-year-old fan. He spends most of the episode writing a song to use at the show, only to be completely replaced at the last minute by {{Music/Macklemore}}, the kid's ''other'' favourite white rapper.
