>>81482152>I'm pretty sure I know what you are referring to, but I think that was played for laughs, not meant seriously.see that's the thing
that's exactly what dave us talking about
just because it's "played for laughs" doesn't mean it's not legitimate
that's the whole thing
as a kid he played off a lot of that stuff for kicks and giggles but that doesn't mean it was actually a joke, it just meant he acted like it was a joke
when dave imagined being fawned over, it was dudes
he laughed it off like ironic humour
but the fact remains that that's what he imagined
>While he has a sincerity problem, this simplifies his character too much.i think it's just a simplified explanation, not a simplification of his character
he was raised to only like things "ironically"
but he actually does like them, he just pretends to be ironic
he doesnt collect dead things ironically, he does it cuz they're cool and he just says it's ironic
he makes bad comics cuz it's fun
