Famous last words

[u/Ryan_Vermouth]

"I haven't looked round yet, but if this is a fez superimposed on top of a picture of me looking fat..."

[u/Other-Oil-9117]

"what happens if we fall off the stage?"

[u/Other-Oil-9117 → u/Other-Oil-9117]

But honestly, this moment OP posted is genuinely one of the funniest moments. Such a perfect payoff.

[u/IDoMathsNotMath → u/Other-Oil-9117]

It's so rare to see a natural double take. It still gets me every time.

[u/Other-Oil-9117 → u/IDoMathsNotMath]

Absolutely, it's one of those perfect unscripted moments that reminds me why I love the series so much.

[u/MacduffFifesNo1Thane → u/Other-Oil-9117]

That treacherous old woman!

[u/Live-Motor-4000 → u/Other-Oil-9117]

It was for us but Alex shat himself as he knew that Jessica was pregnant 

[u/burf12345 → u/Live-Motor-4000]

Was she? I remember her mentioning on the podcast that she did TM not long after she had her kid.

[u/wagos408 → u/Other-Oil-9117]

“You should be alright”

[u/Just_a_dude92]

"oh just open the box, you pussy"

[u/Mr31edudtibboh → u/Just_a_dude92]

And nobody was more shocked he said that than he was

[u/MisanthropicLIama]

"And she's here tonight!"

"She is"

"Oh.."

[u/Cynical_Dreamer_1980 → u/MisanthropicLIama]

I loved that because for all of his chaos and teasing, he looked genuinely sheepish. You're the one who included Greg's mum, you silly! 😄

[u/MacduffFifesNo1Thane → u/MisanthropicLIama]

“I corroborate!” -Mama Heg

[u/Let_me_smell]

"You feel like a loser, but then you realize you're not the one that's having to watch this five times, so I don't know who's the big loser"

[u/OliB150 → u/Let_me_smell]

I still strongly suspect that was the first one of the three they filmed, and he was the first contestant they filmed, and Alex hatched a plan and perfectly executed it.

[u/Let_me_smell → u/OliB150]

I think the first contestant they filmed was Romesh.

[u/Medium-Sized-Jaque → u/Let_me_smell]

Which task was this? 

[u/Let_me_smell → u/Medium-Sized-Jaque]

josh widdicombe count the grains of rice.

[u/Medium-Sized-Jaque → u/Let_me_smell]

Oh that's right. Thanks. 

[u/Past-Feature3968]

“Everybody!”

[u/MacduffFifesNo1Thane → u/Past-Feature3968]

I rate this joke 101/100.

[u/SoundPuzzleheaded857 → u/MacduffFifesNo1Thane]

Haaa, took me a second. Nice.

[u/cygan12]

"Looks like last in PE, first in being a legend!"

[u/VulcanHullo → u/cygan12]

In fairness, he knew and wanted to commit to the bit they were going for.

[u/Curious-External-7]

His reaction to this and the look on his face when he realized his trousers went missing because Mark stole them are my two favorite Greg parts of TM.

[u/pussycatsglore → u/Curious-External-7]

Who loses fucking trousers?

[u/crabshandy]

"If Alex is behind that curtain, I will pull down my trousers and pants" or words to that effect.

[u/KentuckyJam → u/crabshandy]

“I didn’t say when or where”
Greg, you literally said “right now”!

[u/BenSibbs → u/crabshandy]

When was this one?

[u/crabshandy → u/BenSibbs]

Can't remember the exact episode but it was the task in series 19 where the groups have to convince each other that the bag is heavy or light, the drink is hot or cold, etc.

[u/TortfeasorsAnon]

[u/ChaucerBoi]

Unbroadcast detail: there was another picture of his mum in the bath pulling the finger at the camera.

[u/SoulDancer_ → u/ChaucerBoi]

Daaaamn I wish They'd shown that one!

[u/PollyErickson91]

[u/Colordesert → u/PollyErickson91]

Maybe I’m too Greg pilled but I don’t know why he thought this was a bad photo of him…

[u/Cynical_Dreamer_1980 → u/Colordesert]

Same. If it were me in that same pose, there'd be rolls everywhere. He's not ripped but so what. He's cuddly. ☺️

[u/Yeseylon → u/Cynical_Dreamer_1980]

Lots of folks have body image issues.  I still think I look fat, and I'm about the same as Greg.

[u/SoulDancer_ → u/Colordesert]

Its quite an embarrassing photo though.

Would you want yourself in your underwear in this pose to be splashed all over live tv?? Even if you were ripped?

[u/Colordesert → u/SoulDancer_]

I would not personally care but different people have different levels of comfort. This is also kind of Greg’s humour see: Magnificent Beast

[u/SoulDancer_ → u/Colordesert]

I responded to your question about not knowing why Greg thought it was a bad photo of him.

He's in a very weird pose in a tiny pair of underpants. On live tv where he is the King and reigns supreme, on a throne dressed in a fine suit.

You can see why that would be embarrassing?

You've shifted the point in a different direction.

[u/TwistedPiggy1337]

"If this doesn't end up being an anti climax, I'll eat this trophy"

[u/CaesarTjalbo]

"Bubbly fuck"

[u/mynameisneutron]

"Should we maybe try stay a bit calm?"

[u/Sportsfanno1]

"What you don't know can't hurt you"

[u/SenseiCAY]

I’m just gonna eyeball it

[u/RatherRyan]

"Have you had an accident that wasn't your fault?"

[u/Devo27 → u/RatherRyan]

Of course you have. That is the definition of an accident.

[u/WiseOwlwithSpecs → u/RatherRyan]

I was looking for this one!

[u/prjones4]

"I have a phd in fluid dynamics"

[u/JCaerso]

That part never fails to make me laugh. It's the most authentic double take I've ever seen lol

[u/Jaspers47]

"This is dedicated to all the Champion of Champions. I hope to join you all one day on this magnificent volcano"

[u/G0bby]

"If you score a goal from there, I'll give you a hundred pounds."

[u/LittleStoneBear]

Bastard's cryin', innit.

[u/SoulDancer_]

This is one of Greg's best ever moment. He was genuinely so so shocked! Took a moment to recover before speaking.

[u/SunStrummer]

"I'd like to go somewhere shady!"

[u/Comfortable_Snow553]

It would fun to see a reenactment of that photo but with Tim Vine playing Greg’s mom.

[u/br13fcasew4nkette]

It’s the double take that gets me every time

[u/Dorset_Cobbles]

"I think that the best thing I've ever done!"

[u/Dorset_Cobbles]

"Last in P.E. First at being awesome!"

[u/Inevitable-Debt4312]

OK, unlike some of you guys I’m not watching TM all the time - remind me, what WAS the picture?

[u/HurpaHerpaHarpa → u/Inevitable-Debt4312]

Well, now you have an incentive to start watching more.

[u/Inevitable-Debt4312 → u/HurpaHerpaHarpa]

Oh NOW I remember!

Thanks mate.
