re: Dave season 2 on FXX June 16th (some spoilers)

The last two episodes were crazy good and made up for about 5-6 pretty weak episodes. At least weak in comparison to last season. It just wasnt as funny. It was still good, funny, entertaining TV but season one was just all time good.

i wonder if the first half of the season was kind of dave's nod at not wanting to be viewed as a comedian, and be taken more seriously as an artist. idk, i remember when ex boyfriend came out (pretty sure i found it thanks to this board, way before the music board) and i thought it was hilarious, possibly so funny that you miss just how skilled the dude is with his timing, phrasing, vocabulary, etc. when he wants to be. yeah, he's got a juvenile sense of humor but he's also a super talented artist.

overall, i didn't think s2 was as good as s1, but i think the gap is going to lessen with time.

has dave said anything homophobic in any of his lyrics? i can't think of any, but the gay episode might have been his way of apologizing if so. and giving a nod that it's hard to be black, it's hard to be gay, it's extra hard to be both. who knows


s2e9 might be my favorite episode of the series
