Announcer discussion: Crazy Dave
Crazy dave is the leader of the plant forces in the shooters. Due to the games changing artstyles he's had different designs and animations.
Gw1 quotes: "25 vanquishes left", "10 vanquishes to go!", "Hey, vanquish 50 zombies. "Time to get CRAAAZY", "Hurry my little sprouts! Grab that gnome bomb and blow up those tombstones.", " Scribbly lickings! You really messed up that tombstone", "Was busy eating off the floor but it sounded impressive.", " oh no the zombies are winning", and "The fog man cometh".
He even hops in his RV to take into combat with boss mode and drops supplies for plants across the field ranging from spotting stations, twin healing flowers, revives and cherry flowers.
Uses his head sprite from pvz 1 alongside the audio gibberish.
In gw2 dave recieved an entire character model that sadly was cut from appearing the garage where davebot 3000 now resides. This model is still seen in the backyard menu and his audio prompts where he has several animations such as being angry or sad upon losing gardens, joyful banter when the plants are winning, and an uncaring groan if zombies are winning.
Quotes: "I'm not a space wizard. Vanquish zombies to win", "Zombies reached 25. I made a paper hat", "You need help out there! Where is Crazy Dave?" " Old fashioned hamburgers. Vanquish those zombies", "Halfway there. Can i smell the winner?", "Put on my glitter gloves we are about to win!", " Dr zhangus is mean", " take those zones. Sweet sassy molassey", "Touchdown", "I'll shed a single tear", "Try again zombies. That wasn't even ours!"
In bfn dave was redesigned in the new artsyle with a fluffier beard and slighty more dented pot on his head. However he is a single image rather than being animated.
Quotes: " Halfway to victory or is it too quarters to victory?" Only 10 more to go. Ill put on my victory-dance leotard". "Clear this area so i fan set up my solar paneled sun lamp", "Don't let the zombies win. Heal pals and unhealed zombies", "Wowie kablooie! Do you teach winning lessons?", "Oh no. Fight back. Fight front. Fight sideways!".
Note that I can't get everyone of these.
In Gw2, he can sometimes be seen in person in his flying car when you are entering Ops mode.
He is known to hate cats in gw2 and a Bfn statue shows him being attacked by them.
In gw1 and 2 multiple wanted posters and insignias of him can be found for both teams. These posters reveal that he's 6ft,2.
I think I prefer gw1 dave the most. He seems way more aware of and invested in the situation and doesn't just say things that are random for the sake of it. I do like how he's animated in gw2 though and seems to generally care about somethings like dave bot 3000.
I actually like his Bfn redesign. The scruffier beard and pot fit well but why in tarnation isn't he animated, when he was animated he was better as displaying tone of voice since you saw if he was angry or sad. He also seems a bit less invested.
Overall he didn't change as badly as zomboss, although that is a completely different bag of worms that I want to punch in the face anytime I see him in Bfn.
