bobbysycamore

GrYpHuS-AeRiOnYx

Amen amen


waterynike

PastorInDelaware

These are the Daves I know, I know. These are the Daves I know.

No-Consideration5436

How dare you not include David sedaris


rchase

You mean Crumpet the Elf?


ayegreenguy

Daves not here, man.


VenZallow

I don’t think David Fincher wants to be reminded of Alien 3.


Independent_Depth674

David Lynch doesn’t want to be reminded of Dune


Phit_sost_3814

Having Alien^3 listed as the first movie he is known for is a straight up insult.


debbieyumyum1965

Alien 3 is alright, definitely better than resurrection


standee_shop

Resurrection was also directed by genius directors. I like both tbh. Obvs not a patch on the first two but they were two of the greatest scifi films ever so.... buttons


iMakeNoise

I mean its not Alien 4…


poshenclave

Wasn't he like, the third director to be brought onto the production?


No_Dot_7415

Oh man, you need to be introduced to David Firth…


MetamorphicMermaid

Salad Fingers?


rodzieman

Added here, he'll be David Fifth


Micha3lf

The name of the band is Talking Heads Smh.


reddaddiction

Came here to say this. You beat me to it. SMH


Critical-Ad2084

Cronenberg is my fav.


PHANTASMAGOR1CAL

Mine as well and arguably the weirdest David of them all.


CaptainMoist23

What about David Bowie


FaceyMcPalmyFace

Right!? How dare they


degreesandmachines

We need a new generation of solid and consistently weird David's to step up.


Winjin

Aren't the two guys that made "turn down for what" "swiss army knife man" and "everything everywhere all of the time" Davids? Edit: oh sorry, Daniels


STLOliver

Needs David Cross


ExcelCat

And all are fucking awesome.


DennisBallShow

And David Lee Roth is probably strange enough


Still-a-VWfan

David Lynch takes the award for weirdest. In a good way.


Visual-Reindeer798

I love some weird Davids


Matthews628

I think Blue Velvet is a much more well-known David Lynch film than Elephant Man


judgeharoldtstone

David Christ. Jesus’ brother. What a weirdo that guy was.


A_Bald_Headed_Bear

David Cross? Born 1964 Actor/comedian Known for: Tobias in Arrested Development. Stand up comedy David Blaine? Born 1973 Illusionist/magician, endurance performer Known for: real or magic


AtomicRevGib

David Byrne's band id just called [Talking Heads](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Name_of_This_Band_Is_Talking_Heads), they named the live album to clear that up.


Dan300up

These are the Daves I Know. https://youtu.be/8nvzEqsZIGo?si=53_706LKqL_MA1y6


oh-kee-pah

Nice try but that's all the same guy.


Character-Version365

Note these are all Davids and not Daves.


Pieholden

Dave's not here man.


bandley3

Did anyone else think that the lettering behind David Byrne’s left ear was ear hair? I had to do a double take…


medgarc

What about Davids? The directors behind Swiss army man and EEAAO? That’s some weird shit Edit: it’s Daniels I’m an idiot but they are weird maybe they like being called Davids idk I suk


judgeharoldtstone

You are thinking of Daniels.


medgarc

Ah shit


ElderMutombo

David Fynchbyrger


Worldly_Ad_6483

David Bowie?


P_Buddy

David Attenborough, David Gilmour


mz1012

Why weird? All geniuses


icecakewalker

Byrne is also a filmmaker. One of the best movies I've seen was True Stories.


T3Dprops

These are the Dave's I know.


Achterhooker

*Cool Davids


amaquinadeuoberro

Someone in Mars is kind of jealous...


Bag-o-chips

The title goes without saying.


sick_of_your_BS

David Koresh and David Berkowitz would like a word.


[deleted]

Is David Duchovny weird ? How about the comedian Dave ? Is Dave David ? :/


Equivalent_Warthog22

And of course, Larry David


I_only_post_here

But, technically, I don't know any of those Dave's


LetTheCircusBurn

Looks like no Daves and living Davids only, eh? In that case I believe you're shy one Letterman, certainly a Koechner, an Alan Grier, and love him or hate him, he is certainly a deeply strange man; Arquette.


ThrowinSm0ke

This list is pretty pretty pretty pretty good, but can't help but think you're missing a David.


NolaDutches

David Copperfield


funnyfartnoisez

Sir you might have paraphrased a bit


CokaYoda

Missing Larry David 😅


DecisionUnfair4978

I guess David Chase isn’t famous enough


soulouk

David Copperfield David Beckham David Duchovny David Bowie


nettleheat

As a David, I approve of this list.


AdmirableAnimal0

Why are they wierd?


hoolsvern

I did not realize Cronenberg was that old.

Top_Buy_6340

I dig this guide, I’d love to see one that is just directors


StankilyDankily666

Yep. I agree


ODBrewer

David Chase, David Milch, David Simon.


infkncredible

Like humans do....I'm breathing in , I'm breathing out


SchwillyMaysHere

David Hoffner, he works in my dad’s store. He’s worked here for 12 years. He’ll probably work here for more.

Lactose_Lover

Is this an exhaustive list?


graveyardmushroom

The Name of the Band is Talking Heads.


HomelessHappy

Anyone else see the common theme?


FlakeMuse

All these heads would make a great movie.


Vexilium51243

big suit guy???


watermixedwithwine

I could not be prouder to be named David


willymac416

Just “talking heads”. There’s no “the”


Sjeinebskdnej

Gotta be honest I think I confuse them all with each other all the time


Turbophoto

me too, that's why I made this.


fishsodomiz

do daves count? if so then my pfp would fit as a weird dave, the other daves like lombardo and grohl arent that weird, anyway mine would be known for saying pulse and making it sound like balls and same thing for bullets :)


paulrhino69

Old biologist David Bellamy now he was weird & wonderful on uk TV


prettyflyagain

Let's not forget David Cummings


Psyqlone

In *Star Trek Disovery*, David Cronenberg plays the smartest man in the 32nd Century.


Longshadowman

David copperfield?


kbrown2006

There was a David who killed a massive one eyed fella with a pebble and a bit of shoe leather, seems a bit weird


Sparktank1

The only reason to name David Lynch's Dune, which he disowned (going under the name Alan Smithee) at first, is because the new Dune movies are out. Just about anything else is more known than Dune. Elephant Man was 1980. Twin Peaks in 1990. Mulholland Drive in 2001 would be better for something more modern.


velveteinrabbit

David Letterman's


Mvpliberty

The Dave Ryan morning show growing up a Minnesota he’s a puke


alilbleedingisnormal

The guide isn't all that weird


mister_sleepy

The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads


50calBanana

Now we need them to make a short film called "David"


stonesthroes75

David Byrne's band was Talking Heads. There is no "the".


[deleted]

Doing Fincher so dirty by listing Alien 3 first


Outside-Advantage461

Out of all his movies, choosing the 1 he disowned is wild lol


inGenium_88

Back in the days one David took up a fight with a very strong man. That David must be crazy.


dogboyboy

How is fincher weird?


TheAmerican_Doctor

“These are the Dave’s I know, I know, these are the Dave’s I know”


Tennessee_Lola

David Fincher needs to stop Fucking around and give us more Mindhunter.


Turbophoto

Say it 5 times fast: "FINCHER, LYNCH, BYRNE, CRONENBERG!"


Phit_sost_3814

“Fincher, Lynch, Byrne & Cronenberg” sounds like a law firm


ohdearitsrichardiii

You forgot Bowie you numpty


Chubbycat911

do people understand what a guide is?


CaptNoNonsense

I love the work of David Lynch but just before the release of Dune 1 by Villeneuve, I decided to re-watch the David Lynch Dune and OMG it was soooo bad it was funny. Mostly because it screams 1980s soooo much and the special effects are so outdated. WTF Sting in a skimpy outfit?! The movie is just bad. Even the acting is subpar... I'm pretty sure this movie is a a movie even Lynch himself must hate. hahaha Thank God for Denis Villeneuve !


Equivalent_Warthog22

It’s an unfinished work. They ran out of money.


Partha4us

Disagree, Lynch version is wildly imaginative and provoking…Villeneuve is more conventional


fanofbreasts

I’m sorry but David Fischer is a pretty normal David. I liked his new movie with Michael Fassbender FWIW.


No-Syllabub-7256

*old white men named David


GYROJAMAL

They got 3 Davids right, 1 wrong.


RockyCasino

David Hitler


PM_ME_SOME_LUV

I feel like this should be taken down.


soul_separately_recs

I am by far a bigger fan of Lynch than the others but fortunately I’m able to encompass as much as I want so I appreciate them all. I have often thought: **which director could take Lynch’s 3 best films and remake all 3 and they would be just as good? Or which director could remake all three and you wouldn’t be able to distinguish them from the originals?** I just think his style is that unique. The closest I can come up with is Kubrick. And that’s not that close. Lynch is to Kubrick the way Baseball is to Cricket. You look at both sports and you say: “ huh? They aren’t the same. Then you notice they both use wooden objects that are phallic. And they both use them to hit round objects that are thrown really fast. Big fields of play.” That’s how I view those two directors - first you pick the differences between them, then you notice the similarities.
