When I say "Dave" who's the first person you think of?

Famous Dave’s Barbecue Dave.

Then Letterman. Then “These are the Dave’s I Know.”

This is literally what my brain gave me first.

Dave Foley as well, with a nod to the Kids in the Hall sketch linked above.

Dave Thomas, both of them.

Weird, for me it was almost all personal. In order of what I thought of…

  1. Dave my son
  2. Dave a Windows programmer that recently worked here
  3. Dave the movie starring Kevin Kline
  4. Dave Ramsey.

6 guys named Dave who all worked in my office years ago. I took a picture of them all together at the company Christmas party (back when we had company Christmas parties) and posted it to the intranet site with the caption “Dave”.

I thought of both of them after I had posted my list above. I assume you meant the Great White North and the Wendy’s guy?

I wonder if anybody will say “Sam and Dave”…

I also wonder who will be the oldest, or longest dead, Dave to be mentioned. We could also have a list of Davids who were rarely called Dave.

Somebody ought to start a similar thread for another common name like Bob or Jim or Kevin.

Letterman.

The Minion from Despicable me, I have two children.

Dave Bowman. (i.e., “I’m sorry, Dave, I can’t do that…”)

This.

Wendy’s Dave Thomas

Ditto.

This.

Followed by “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that”.

David Lo Pan

First thought…

…followed instaneously by this:

Ditto

My human uncle on my maternal side.

Dave Davies of the Kinks.

Letterman
