I was right there with your assessment through the first half of the episode, 100%. By the end of the episode though, my impression was that they actually did a good job highlighting how fricked up Dave and his entire entourage really are, and that weirdo people they deem beneath them(likely because of religion) are the most relatable, caring people. Meg tongue-lashing Dave at the dinner table about her parents and beliefs was kinda the turning point for me.

I go back to what I said earlier in this thread, this season seems to be really playing up the Dave is actually an a-hole theme. Seasons 1 and 2 had a lot of pity for Dave and this one seems to portray the opposite, more often than not.

I'm really diggin' it so far.

ETA: There was a point in the episode with Meg talking about Dave's music and how he takes the supposed narrative and flips it on it's head, something along those lines. That's kinda what this episode felt like to me as someone who's much closer to rural, Christian, Mississippian than entourage member of a touring rapper.

Exactly. IMO the whole point was that Dave and his crew were shite talking this family and making fun of them, and in the end they were just normal people with heavy religious values and ended up comforting Dave and crew in their time of need (well, safe to say the grandma is definitely weird

).

But in the end Dave is the a-hole because those people weren’t racist really at all (hard to tell if the brother actually was or not) and even the daughter was happy with her life and didn’t need to be saved by Dave.

It seems like this season is kinda about Dave learning about himself, and sort of realizing he’s an a-hole as someone said.

You must be misremembering season 2. He came off as an arse hole who was a dick to his friends in that season as well.

I almost wonder if he realizes he’s making himself seem like a huge douche sometimes
