“ | Aw, seriously? | ” |
— David's catchphrase.
|
David is a male contestant in Battle for Dream Island and Battle for BFDI.
In Battle for Dream Island, David was one of the 30 recommended characters that had a chance to join the show in "The Reveal". The votes for the debut were revealed in "Reveal Novum" and he got 102 votes beating everyone else and joining the show. David was then eliminated in "Gardening Hero" with 331 votes, placing 8th overall.
In Battle for Dream Island Again, David had a chance to join at the start of the season but he only received 251 votes which was not enough and so he was sent to the Tiny Loser Chamber. He placed 29th to join the season.
In IDFB, David is currently in the Tiny Loser Chamber due to failing to join BFDIA. He's had a chance to join the season and received 1,234 votes[2], which is not enough, placing him 6th to join the season.
In Battle for BFDI, David competed on Beep until "Enter the Exit" where he was eliminated with 11,292 votes, placing 58th overall.
In Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two, David was in The E.X.I.T. until his escape in "Out Of The Blue" due to being eliminated before "The Escape from Four". He was up for voting to join TPOT in "What's Up Bell's String?". He failed to join with 8,415 votes, placing him 7th to join the season.
Appearance[]
David is a crudely drawn stick figure, his outline and facial details are gray, and his face is white. He turns red and has yellow zig-zagged lines that resemble lightning bolts surrounding him when he gets angry. He appears to have a blank stare most of the time.
In "Four Goes Too Far", although it is not shown happening, he became orange thanks to Tangerine Juice, due to him being safe from elimination and he kept this color since. He retains this character change in TPOT as well.
Personality[]
BFDI[]
Due to a lack of things that he can say, David's personality is mostly a mystery. However, him saying "Aw, seriously?" shows us that he can be whiny and complains a lot. David is also quite antisocial, often refusing to follow the directions of others and quick to shout his catchphrase whenever greeted with conflict. This ties into his public status since many of his peers find him odd and unnerving.
BFB[]
Though at times he is helpful to his team, he still has bouts of unruliness and stubbornness. This is best exemplified in "Fortunate Ben" where David helps his team by piloting the plane but also falls asleep whenever he wants to, or in "Lick Your Way to Freedom" where David initially refuses to lick the jawbreakers. David fought against getting eliminated and ran away twice.
He seems to have some prowess in baking as he refers to himself as a "Master of Baking" and can be disgusted if the baking doesn't reach his expectations, as David made a long disgusted groaning noise when the Cake for Four made with the "cake batter" didn't follow his "health codes" in "Today's Very Special Episode".
TPOT[]
David seems to care about his friends, as seen in "The Seven Wonders of Goiky" where he is shown trying to help Roboty out of the EXIT when nobody else seemed to care. After hearing Pencil refer to Roboty as "dead weight", he responded with "Aw, Seriously?" like always, but possibly out of anger, annoyance or guilt.
Additionally, his actions in "Out of the Blue" prove himself as a reliable, resourceful, and loyal team member. As he collaborates with Pencil and Bracelety to escape the EXIT and evade Four, his discovery of the intercom plays a key role in Pencil’s plan to collect items to construct a new stack for their escape. David’s willingness to take initiative, even with his limited speech, and his commitment to the team's goal—like when he steals items while the others distract Four—highlight his loyalty and dedication.
Official Character Guide biography[]
David is a human, but not like anyone you have ever met. He is allergic to sunrises, and he can duplicate his head when he sings. He's immune to bugs and to the power of black holes.
David's personality is a mystery. He is antisocial. When conflict arises, he yells out his catchphrase, "Aw, seriously?" David has been cloned many times, to the point that a sea of Davids has populated a region called Davidland.
Did You Know?: "NazzBliss" was the first person to mention David in a YouTube comment in February 2011, which had no explanation.
Abilities[]
- Jumpscaring: In BFDI 18, David can angrily yell a distorted version of his catchphrase while turning red, growing larger, and emitting electric sparks from the head. Even though this doesn't seem to have the stunning effect of Four's Screechy, it can still surprise and unnerve others. This is ineffective against Pencil.
- Beeping/Auto-tuned voice: In "Rescission", David is shown to be able to auto-tune his voice to "Mary Had a Little Lamb". He showed the same ability in "What's Up Bell's String?" by autotuning to "Gibberish", after saying "aw" many times and very fast.
- Head growth: In the same episode, David was shown to be able to grow 2 extra heads. The only purpose this served was to harmonize the last note of his singing.
- Poison immunity: David was the only contestant in BFDI to be immune to bug poison. In BFDIA, Gelatin is also immune to poison.
- Inflatable head: A David clone was able to get his head inflated in "Insectophobe's Nightmare 2" to be a stand-in for Bubble.
- Leaf shedding: In "Return of the Hang Glider", David votes for Leafy to win Dream Island by having leaves grow from his body.
- Black Hole immunity: In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", despite being sucked up by Black Hole, David didn't die. This is also non-canonically shown in "Battle for Dream Island: Official Character Guide/Instagram Promotion", where David casually throws Black Hole away. However, in "If Among Us Was a BFDI Challenge", David did die after being sucked up by Black Hole, though that could be a mistake and the video was non-canon.
- Wind manipulation: Using the "hair" on his head, David could control the wind and act as a makeshift sail in "Fortunate Ben".
Weaknesses[]
- Flammability: Contrary to Dora, David is easily flammable and will be reduced to ashes if he comes into contact with fire.
- Sunrise Allergy: It's been stated that David is allergic to sunrises in "Reveal Novum". However, the only reaction he seemingly has is forcefully blinking.

Battle for Dream Island[]
In "Vomitaco", David was first recognized when the Announcer explained that even though he was not even a contestant at the time, he had received 39 elimination votes. David says his catchphrase in response. David also responded "Yeah?" when the Announcer addressed him.
In "The Reveal", it is revealed that David is one of the 30 handpicked recommended characters who could be voted into the game. David campaigns by turning red and using his jumpscare ability by screaming "AW SERIOUSLY?"
In "Reveal Novum", David's first day of competition begins when he receives the most votes to join the game. During the staring contest, he uses his red-faced jumpscare ability to scare his opponents, causing them to flinch, blinking in the process. This strategy does not work against Pencil, however. David eventually blinks the next morning upon seeing the sun, due to his allergy to sunrises. Despite not receiving any points at the start of his game, he manages to earn second place in the staring contest and get 30 points on the scoreboard, avoiding elimination.
In "Rescission", David, along with Ice Cube, Rocky, Bubble, and Leafy all avoid the mud-caked shovels that the Announcer throws at them during Cake at Stake. This upsets Announcer, who proceeds to cry acid all over Ice Cube, Rocky, and David. David's points were later traded for 30 teddy bears. During the unicycle race, David began beeping "Mary had a Little Lamb" as an 8-bit melody and had 3 heads at the end. When he was riding the unicycle he was standing up instead of sitting down which suggests that David probably doesn't have the ability to sit down or he just doesn't have a sitting asset. Right before reaching the finish line, he runs into Firey and burns to ash. Unable to finish the race, he was put up for elimination along with Ice Cube and Spongy.
In "Gardening Hero", David was eliminated with a record of 331 votes. It was later announced that a loser was going to rejoin the game. David campaigns by saying his catchphrase. When Announcer demands that he should say something else, he yells, "NO!". This marks the 2nd episode in which he said something other than his catchphrase.
In "The Glistening", David was one of the 10 eliminated contestants who vote Ice Cube to be eliminated, saying "Aw...-Ice Cube!" while turning into Steven. This marks the 3rd episode David says something other than his catchphrase. It is later revealed that David received 41 votes and placed 7th in the rejoin, which was not enough to rejoin.
In "Insectophobe's Nightmare 2", because he is immune to bugs, David is the only contestant to survive the bug attack. Announcer then decides to recreate everyone by cloning David 20 times, 17 for the TLC members and 4 all dressed in costumes for the final 4 contestants. It is unknown if the true David is present among the clones. All the Davids disappear when everyone returns.
In "Return of the Hang Glider", his final appearance, David chooses to say his catchphrase instead of saying "Cake at Stake!" with the rest of the eliminated contestants. At the final Cake at Stake, David votes Leafy to win Dream Island, expressing his opinion by transforming into "Leafy David" from "Insectophobe's Nightmare 2". After Firey wins Dream Island, he is initially reluctant to let David in, but is convinced when David says his catchphrase. After David enters Dream Island to find it gone, he does not appear for the rest of the episode.
Battle for Dream Island Again[]
In "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know", David only gets 251 votes to join, which is not enough to compete in BFDIA. He is flung to the LOL along with all of the other ineligible contestants.
In "Get Digging," David is briefly mentioned during Dora's speech. In it, Dora admits to having attempted to kill David multiple times, but without success.
In "Get in the Van," David appears on the 3rd-anniversary wheel.
In "The Long-lost Yoyle City", Team No-Name was traveling on Puffball through Davidland, which (as the name implies) is a land full of Davids.
In "Intruder Alert", David is briefly shown inside the LOL.
In "Well, Look Who It Is!," and "PointyPointyPointy ♫," David is shown in the LOL. However, he does not get lines.
IDFB[]
In "Welcome Back", David is trapped inside the Locker of Losers along with all the other contestants who didn't compete in BFDIA. He is also seen trying to escape the LOL by using his angry "yelling" while repeatedly smashing himself on the lid. At the end of the episode, he is given a chance to join the show by being voted out of the TLC. Although the season is currently on hiatus, he ended up getting 1,234 votes, placing 6th.
Battle for BFDI[]
In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", David is first seen almost getting sucked into Black Hole before the intro. David is the second-to-last person to be picked for a team since Gelatin deems him "weird". Despite this, Leafy brings David onto Beep, stating she wants to help him. When the team name is being discussed, David is impressed by it, saying "Aw", instead of "Aw, seriously?". David does not play an active role in the challenge, but repeats his catchphrase after his team wins.
In "Lick Your Way to Freedom", David initially refuses to start licking jawbreakers, much to the anger of Balloony, but later starts licking one with Nickel. Beep only opens empty jawbreakers and loses the challenge. In the stinger, David is seen still licking a jawbreaker, but Nickel tells him to stop because they already lost. They walk away as it is revealed that Taco is inside of the jawbreaker that David was licking.
In "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", David falls into the bottom two of voting but survives with 3,934 votes. This marks David's first time surviving an elimination. Cloudy is disgusted when he finds that David is what a man looks like, causing Cloudy to almost vomit. David does not actively participate in the challenge, as Cloudy does the challenge for his team.
In "Today's Very Special Episode", David is heard making a disgusted grunting sound due to the cake Beep made for the challenge, for the cake batter is made out of Rocky's vomit. Once again, Balloony is angered by David's reaction.
In "Fortunate Ben", David manipulates his (assumed) hair to direct the team's paper airplane, which earns him compliments from Roboty and Cloudy. However, he soon passes out, causing the plane to fall downwards in a nosedive. David is then woken up by Rocky's barf — to the relief of Balloony — and he resumes control of the plane and steers it away from the cliff. However, these efforts are in vain, as Stapy causes the cliff to suddenly jut out. Beep crashes and lose the challenge. David is up for elimination once again.
In "Four Goes Too Far", David is in the bottom two for voting again. To this, he replies, "Aw, dreariously?". He survives when it is revealed that Roboty received more votes than him. When the challenge begins, David is one of the first contestants to get the twinkle of contagion, but he immediately gives it to Match. Clock has the twinkle after three hours, keeping David safe from elimination.
In "The Liar Ball You Don't Want", David does not appear at all despite being alive and present on Earth.
In "Questions Answered", David is first seen after Donut has pushed most of Earth through the camera, as he is repositioned by the change in gravity. Later, he can be seen with his team at their buzzer.
In "This Episode Is About Basketball", during the challenge, David is told by Cloudy that he and Woody are the only members of their team with arms (since Balloony is dead), therefore being the only ones who can throw balls into the basket. However, he replies with his catchphrase and doesn't cooperate when Woody tries to give him a ball. However, when Woody eventually lands a ball in the basket, he cheers. His team loses the challenge shortly after, so they are up for elimination.
In "Enter the Exit", David is once again in the bottom two for voting, though his teammates don't seem to care. He is eliminated with 11,292 votes and told by X to "be eliminated" like Stapy, but he instead shouts "NO!" and runs away. David is eventually caught at the edge of a cliff and stuffed inside X's head. X keeps David stuffed inside him until Four is recovered and picks him out, leading to him trying to run away again. However, Four grabs him and sends him to the EXIT. Once all the eliminated contestants are sucked up by Four, David says his catchphrase and enters the EXIT. Four tells the EXITors that one of them will be rejoining the show, followed by David saying his catchphrase. In his rejoining audition, David says "Aw" twice.
In "Get to the Top in 500 Steps", David only receives 1,255 votes to rejoin, which is not enough to rejoin. He says his catchphrase when he learns the news.
In "The Four is Lava", David is mentioned in Book's happy thought that she receives as a prize for being safe at Cake at Stake, where the events of "Reveal Novum"'s debut with Book being the winner. In it, David is mentioned in Book's dictionary with the same definition as "Reveal Novum".
In "The Escape from Four", David attempts to escape the EXIT with the other eliminated contestants. He can be seen chanting for Loser as Loser builds the tower to Four's mouth. When Spongy shows to be an even closer path, he climbs in through Spongy's holes, having a hard time getting out because he keeps bumping into everyone else. David manages to reach the surface briefly but is sucked back in by Four.
In "Chapter Complete", David does not appear in the first imagination sequence, but appears in the second. He watches as Four argues with the other imaginary EXITors. When Four says that him being rejected isn't his fault, David angrily asks "Seriously?". Later, Four snaps and David, along with the other imaginary EXITors, disappears.
Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two[]
In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", David appears briefly in the stinger, watching Liy and Stapy with the other EXITors
In "The Great Goikian Bake-Off", David is mentioned by Donut when Four and X when they walk out of the Hotel, as he confused their silhouettes with David and Dora.
In "The Seven Wonders of Goiky", David appears in the stinger after the EXIT's alarm goes off, as he is knocked over by Fourpunching through the classroom door. As the EXITors flee, David attempts to drag Roboty along through the door, but is knocked over again when Four grabs Roboty. After Pencil says Roboty is dead weight, he replies "Aw, seriously?" and is pulled away by Liy. He walks with the other EXITors until they reach the outer part of Four and the episode ends with him repeating his catchphrase.
In "Outbreak At Stake", David can be seen arguing with the escaped EXITors. After they all agree to split up, Pencil picks him to come with her and Bracelety to the classrooms. While climbing back up, David says "Aw" and Bracelety interprets it as him being upset that they couldn't save Roboty. Pencil promises to check the classroom again on the way, but the trio find Four waiting for them and flees, finding another classroom to hide in.
In "Oneirophobe's Nightmare", David appears in Pen's dream, buying a movie ticket from him.
In "Out Of The Blue", David continues to search for a way to escape with Pencil and Bracelety, eventually discovering an intercom that gives Pencil the idea to tell the other groups to gather items in order to build a stack and escape. While Pencil and Bracelety distract Four with classes, David steals items for them to escape with. As the EXITors reunite, David takes Roboty and carries him out of the EXIT. Upon being ordered to make food, David is used by Match to try and break the windows of the hotel.
In "What's Up Bell's String?", As the exitors are continuing to escape the hotel, David is being used by Dora to break out of the hotel. When the EXITors escape and one can rejoin, his audition is "aw"-ing, then beeping the melody of the TPOT intro.
In "Category One," David receives 8,415 votes to join TPOT, but ultimately falls short. Along with Stapy, he is blasted away by Four, and as they soar off into the distance, they both scream in unison, "Aw, seriously?"

david.wav (david.mpeg)[]
On November 20, 2022, Cary Huang revealed in a YouTube video uploaded to Humany titled "david.wav" that he had recorded an audio file on November 24, 2011, of David giving a speech. The transcript of David's speech is as follows:
"You're probably thinking "There goes that dumb stick figure again. He's so stupid and annoying!". And if you thought that, well you'd be wrong; because I'm not stupid. I guess it never occurred to you that I don't speak the same language as you. In my language, the words "Aw, seriously?" actually has several meanings that you couldn't possibly understand. Oh, and also if you thought my name was David, you'd be wrong again because my name isn't David. My name is actually a word that you probably can't pronounce, but the reason people think my name is David is because I come from a group of stick figures known as the "Davidians". Now there are a lot of Davidians, for example: Dora is a Davidian, but she's not my sister; she's my cousin, so get that right! While some Davidians look different and weird, most Davidians look exactly the same so that like other people they can't tell the difference, so they just call us all "David" as if we're the same person, which we're not and that's kind of offensive to me, so... Yeah. I hope you realize that my name isn't David. So I hope that helps you understand who I am, and I'm not just a weird stick figure.
So anyway, I keep getting asked this same question over and over again: "Why is David so fat? I mean, if you compare him to a normal stick figure, he's just like so obese! I mean, he must've just let himself go." Well, I didn't become fat because I'm lazy as you probably thought. See, a long long time ago, or really it was just one year ago, but it's- It has to sound cool like that. I used to look exactly like that normal stick figure you had in your mind, I was like really thin and stuff. I-I was really thin; but... Things changed. So, one day; a long time ago, I was playing with my many knives, and I realized that the thinner the blade was, the easier it was to cut stuff, and that was pretty cool I thought, so... I then looked at my arm and I realized that my arm is a line, and a line has no thickness, right? So it's pretty much infinitely thin, so it's infinitely sharp. I realized that I could cut through anything extremely easily. It was like I was just cutting through air when I’m really like cutting through steel or something like that. That was really cool, and for the rest of that day, I just... Sliced things up cause it was so fun. And then a couple hours later, when I was like cutting up a building or something, I'm not really sure. I realized "If my arms are cutting through things so easily, why don't my legs cut through the ground?" And then that's when I realized: they do.
So I fell into the ground and that wasn't very fun. Luckily my head didn't fall through, because my head is a ball. Or a sphere. So I'm just sitting here with only my head showing, and I realized that I can't move at all. I'm not sure exactly what to do, I've to be careful not to move my limbs too quickly, or else I'll just slice myself up and that doesn't sound very fun. So as I'm trying to stay as still as possible, I decided to call for help because I can't really do anything. I soon realized that all the other Davidians are in the same problem too, so... Yeah, we're always kinda stuck, and I don't really know what to do. So after about 5 days I think, I realize there's an apple tree right by where I fell, and after enough pounding with my head some apples fell down, and I ate them, and... Well I kept doing that for... Months, and eventually I gained enough weight, so that my legs were wide enough so that they wouldn't cut through the ground; and then I could stand on the ground for once, instead of just falling right through, and that's why I'm so fat today because I don't wanna fall through the ground and be stuck there like before. And so that's why I'm so fat. And that pretty much answers that question, I hope!"
This speech reveals a number of things about David, such as:
- David having insecurities regarding about how others generally disliked him and viewed him negatively.
- David's species being called the "Davidians".
- David speaking his own unique language.
- David's name not actually being David, though the true name was never revealed.
- David's limbs being differently proportioned is from weight gain.
- David's limbs once being able to slice through nearly any solid object.
- David and Dora being cousins.
- David having frustrations over similar looking Davidians being called "David" by default, considering it offensive.
Cary Huang revealed in the same video that the speech mannerisms and format were inspired by the YouTube channel ThePennyProductions, which featured simple storytime animations featuring stick figures and sped up speech.

- Ironically, this would’ve still been the case in "Vomitaco", when he wasn't even a real contestant yet, as he received enough unofficial votes to be in the bottom two with Eraser.
- He, Dora, Pie, and Eggy are the only contestants who have never avoided the bottom two on multiple occasions.
- David is the only male to have this happen and has been in the bottom two the most times out of them at four.
- David has had the most auditions, two to join and two to rejoin.
- David and Pencil are the only contestants with rejoin auditions in both BFDI and BFB.
- David is one of the four contestants who have tried to avoid being eliminated, the others are Flower, Match, and Roboty.
- In both episodes where David gets eliminated, a rejoin is announced, and in the following episode he fails to rejoin.
- David, Bracelety, Roboty, 8-Ball, Stapy, and Firey Jr. are the only contestants to have competed on one team only.
- David is the only contestant who has competed in multiple seasons while only being a member of one team.
- David has the most elimination votes out of any contestant who didn't retroactively gain more due to BFDIA's revival.

General[]
- Michael Huang claims drinking lots of water helps him voice David.
- So far, David has said 9 things other than his catchphrase: "No!" (three times), "Yeah?", "Seriously?", "Aw!", bleeping the song "Mary Had a Little Lamb", "Ice Cube!" (while turning into Steven), "Aw" backwards, a disgusted groan, and "Aw, dreariously!"
- David's catchphrase was said several times by Needle and once by Pen before he joined the game.
- Despite being infamous for saying his catchphrase, his first ever line was actually "Yeah?"
- David is the only BFDI contestant who has never killed another character.
- In contrast, Dora is the only BFDIA contestant who has never killed another character.
- Out of all of the BFDI veterans, David has died the least amount of times.
- David is allergic to sunrises, which was revealed in "Reveal Novum".
- Dora states that she and David are not related in "Get Digging", where she also said that she had tried to kill David many times but failed. Despite this, the two have never directly interacted, even though they can be seen in proximity to each other in several episodes and coexist in the EXIT.
- Unlike Dora, he burns to ashes whenever he even gets near to fire, while Dora is completely fireproof.
- David is the only contestant who has been cloned.
- David was the last contestant to be created in BFDI (as seen in B.A.G.U.E.T.T.E 1B).
- This is due to him not joining until "Reveal Novum", and not being recommended until "Vomitaco".
- Even though David was in BFDI, he was not included in the intro after "Reveal Novum".
- In BFDIA, Ice Cube's favorite screen is 3 Davids. This could mean she is good friends with David, even though their only interaction is when David voted to eliminate her.
- There's a place called "Davidland", first shown in BFDIA, where the ground is filled with copies of David.
- Its origin might be the David Cloner.
- It is considered dangerous by the characters.
- As revealed in "Gardening Zero", this David is smaller when compared to the Davids in Davidland.
- David is the only contestant to be eliminated in BFDI by the Double Laser Powered Teleportation Device.
- David's asset is often used to make human characters (see Variations of David for more).
- As a result, he has the most variations out of the entire cast.
- David is the only pre-BFB contestant to never have his appearance permanently change.
- David has gone the longest with a temporary character change out of any contestant. He turned orange in "Four Goes Too Far", which was six years ago, and has not died since.
- It is unknown how he turned orange at all, since Four was multiplied by A Better Name Than That before his safety was revealed.
- David is not orange in "Chapter Complete", but that David is imaginary.
- Despite having no visible tongue, he was shown licking a jawbreaker in "Lick Your Way to Freedom".
- David appears to hate vomit, as he was the only member of Beep who was disgusted with the cake his team prepared for Four in "Today's Very Special Episode".
- However, he doesn't seem to mind when Rocky barfs on him in the following episode.
- David has not used his "yelling" since IDFB.
- Cary Huang stated in a livestream that David took over 15 hours to draw, despite his simple appearance.
- As said in "Get Digging," He is not related to Dora and she has tried to kill him multiple times, it is unknown if David's aware of this or not.
- David was recommended by TDICaitlincookegroup on YouTube after 39 voters voted for him to be eliminated, even though he wasn’t up for elimination at the time.
- On September 26th 2024 David's original recommender, TDIcaitlincookegroup, appeared on the r/BattleForDreamIsland subreddit and had talked about David. Below is information from TDIcaitlincookegroup's replies:[4]
- TDIcaitlincookiegroup originally hated David's personality in the first season and the fact they joined the debut but they have come to think he and Dora are "fun characters" and that they "grew to like how damn silly (David) was" after watching the full series recently.
- They also love Davidland.
- David's name is from someone TDIcaitlincookegroup had a crush on at the time who is now currently a lawyer.
- David was recommended because TDIcaitlincookegroup was in a Mario Kart Wii clan on a social media network called Xat and someone showed them "Half a Loaf Is Better Than None" so as a joke TDIcaitlincookegroup and the other members of the Mario Kart Wii clan all decided to vote to eliminate "David" (as in TDIcaitlincookegroup's crush), figuring that the voting didn't matter since they thought Eraser was guaranteed to be eliminated.
- Everyone in the Mario Kart Wii clan thought Jacknjellify acknowledging the votes for David was hilarious.
- On September 26th 2024 David's original recommender, TDIcaitlincookegroup, appeared on the r/BattleForDreamIsland subreddit and had talked about David. Below is information from TDIcaitlincookegroup's replies:[4]
- David has been orange for 30 episodes which is the longest period of time a character has had a temporary change.
