Dave Spoofed On Family Guy
On Family Guy tonight they did a quick bit where Peter says something about scuba diving with Dave Navarro which cuts to Dave and another scuba diver who gets his foot caught in coral with his air running out. Dave motions he'll share his air mouthpiece leading to the other diver reacting first in horror then cutting his own throat as Dave edges closer. Cartoon diver Dave looked pretty funny.

And me and DN had this conversation:
He should totally do it.
After the Star Wars joke, and this joke (have there been others?), it's time to let the man make fun of himself too.

Re: Dave Spoofed On Family Guy
Kind of stupid. Was the joke that Dave has VD? Do that many people who watch Family Guy even know who Dave is?
Re: Dave Spoofed On Family Guy
apparently they do since this isn't the first Dave reference on Family Guy
Re: Dave Spoofed On Family Guy
... I know that it wasn't the first reference. In fact, there was a Jane's Addiction reference on American Dad a few years ago, too:Romeo wrote:apparently they do since this isn't the first Dave reference on Family Guy
But that doesn't mean the audience is supposed to get the reference, or the "joke". Maybe Macfarlane likes the band and thinks he's being clever.

Yeah even Dave said it was a "not sure where he's been" joke.Hype wrote:Kind of stupid. Was the joke that Dave has VD?
I think Dave is a lot more recognized than you would think. He's always seemed to find a way to remain in the public consciousness.Do that many people who watch Family Guy even know who Dave is?

Re: Dave Spoofed On Family Guy
I think with MacFarlane, a lot of his 80's and 90's cultural references are hit and miss with his audience so yeah, I'd bet a big number of viewers probably don't get some of the jokes like this. I agree the "joke" was kind of lame but the depiction of Dave (who looks like a chubby armed child with a bunch of random tattoos in the cartoon) made me laugh.Hype wrote:Kind of stupid.

Re: Dave Spoofed On Family Guy
I know more than a few people that know who he is from all of the bad TV he's done over the last several years, and are completely oblivious to Jane's Addiction. 25 years ago, who would have thought Dave would have far more mainstream fame than Perry? Also there's the Chili Peppers stint.Six7Six7 wrote:I think Dave is a lot more recognized than you would think. He's always seemed to find a way to remain in the public consciousness.
As for the joke, I thought it was hilarious, I sure wouldn't do bong hits with him.
As for the Family Guy audience, I'm sure the entire audience gets plenty of the pop culture references, while plenty more blow right past them, but I expect the vast majority got that one.

Looks like Etty just made a car payment.
