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. |
