As we all know, Dave is canonically a sellout, no matter how pure his original ambitions are.
Celebrity cameos have played an important role insince the first episode when Dave made it to YG’s Instagram Story. Sure, there’s the inherent comedic value of Lil Dicky bantering with Kourtney Kardashian about male pregnancy or Trippie Redd handing Elz a wad of hundreds to babysit his nephew. Just as importantly, though, they serve as a barometer for Dave’s relative position and comfort in the music industry at any given point.
It’s his most ambitious project yet: a suit that inflates to a 40-foot globe when a chain is pulled at the back. It could do some damage to whatever lucky starlets are in his general vicinity, but the way Dave figures it, “It’ll hurt more if the world wasn’t saved.” And who cares if he’s banned from the Met Gala forever? It’s a phony event for sellouts.
Well, probably not — McAdams has to be the biggest guest star of this episode, to the point that she got her own spot in the press email, and I have no clue if she’d make any more appearances on this show. But she and Burd do have a surprisingly lovely, playful chemistry . When she joins Dave on the floor to use a nearby outlet, he opens up about his Met Gala stress, and she agrees to help corral people for the bathroom selfie.
Then again, who cares when Rachel McAdams calls you cute and funny, suggests you get a meal together, and puts her number in your phone? But my natural inclination to fanboy is exactly the same problem Dave has: No matter how much he might hate the newer generation of “cool people,” he still covets and fetishizes that proximity to fame and success.
GaTa’s story has hints of cynicism, too, though it’s much shorter and simpler than Dave’s. He’s going through a similar process, gradually getting acquainted with the spotlight, though, and Elz even says, “He’d do anything to be famous at this point.” Elz is there for moral support while GaTa speaks on a panel about media depictions of mental illness — not that he really knows much about the subject outside of his own experience.
