The spot sees the rapper ‘looking for love’ on a tour bus with his best pal and confidante,GaTa.Davereturns to FXX on Wednesday, April 5 with a two episode premiere, with episodes airing the next day on Hulu.
Set to the tune ofJohnny Lee’s songLookin' for Love, a “tumbleweed” of Dave’s iconic hair is seen ambling through a desert, a diner, and city streets. It ultimately ends up on the windshield of Dave and GaTa’s tour bus, with the latter noting Dave’s hair “is everywhere.” While mostly played to comedic effect, this trailer also hints at the more dramatic elements of the series, namely Dave’s loneliness and inability to get out of his own way.
Loosely following the career and life ofDave Burd(aka Lil Dicky),Davefollows the titular character, “a neurotic man in his late twenties who has convinced himself that he’s destined to be one of the best rappers of all time.” Dave’s second season, which aired its final episode in the summer of 2021, saw the rapper finally embrace his friendship with GaTa. The two ultimately decided to rap together and embrace their partnership, with Dave abandoning his ambitious and self-centered performance at the VMAs for the more modest duet.
