greg the egg s1 only for now because it's too long as it is i'm rewatching this absolute gem of a show, so i have a separate compilation for tomgreg i might upload later x
The most important part of this show is the delicate balance of no one ever acknowledging Greg's existence and Greg simultaneously causing one of main conflicts of the show.
@@rasheesaalea7805 there's the time he says to Kendall that he has info about the cruise shit so whoever ends up on top would do well to take care of him. At the very end of the video he calls him a Machiavellian fuck
The fact also that he went toe to toe with Tom and fully stone cold denied diming him out to Gerri, when he actually had, shows that he does have some balls. That, and without embarrassment, having the giant Greg-the-Egg balls to jump into Logan’s car to pitch a job for himself. Also, they didn’t show it amounting to anything, but best I can tell, he was recording on his phone a confession type thing about the cruise issues. Or was wire tapping others with his phone. Checking it’s sound pick up in his various pockets.
Proof from the start that Greg is a true Roy, born to control the narrative in his favor-He’s the victim, not the criminal. And that is why he will win Game of Thrones.
He may be a worm and a bumbling awkward person but he was able to squeeze his way into a family that literally wanted nothing to do with him. He was integral for a corporate coverup to prove his loyalty, and he now has dirt on an executive plus a fancy apartment in NYC
@@MrShahid0072 It really is quite an accent considering at the start of the show he was harassed by Logan's bodyguard because they had no idea who he was
It's one of the funniest scenes for me too 😂 Especially because Logan is complimenting Greg while basically saying with his look and exiting that you did terrible job and didn't beleave the deal would be possible to everyone else after it
I would absolutely love it if the stoner kid who repeatedly had trouble gaining access to the building in the pilot episode ends up as the CEO by the series finale.
That's one thing! I guess they just dropped it. But I was expecting her to be more of a motivation for him. But he don't need it! He's fucking his way to royalty whether his mom is in his life or not.
1:10 That Craig and Greg confusion is the way you can tell the writers of Succession are British, it is such a pet peeve of the British that Americans say Craig like Greg.
his advantage lies in him mumbling incoherently in any situation no matter what so when people in power put him in tough spot questioning him and he starts mumbling nervously .. it seems like its casual greg :) kind of genius honestly .. its like when you see in nature bugs that through Darwinian law adopt a crazy but effective tactic obviously with greg its just blind luck :)
I believe he is well aware of how others perceive him and plays it to his advantage, one of his strongest suits; unlike other characters who are always trying to put up a front with little to no success (in the eyes of Logan) like Kendall, Roman and Shiv.
Greg, handing Tom flyswatters as the fly massacre occurs: "But like, um...like, maybe, we don't...w-what would happen if one *didn't* want to, like...kill flies?"
"I apologise... if my bell... summoned you." This is it. This is the moment I became sure that this would be the beginning of something beautiful with this character.
That last scene at the wedding with Kendall mirrors their scene at Kendall’s 40th. Kendall goes from supporting Greg’s parasitic behavior to condemning it. Even the marking/blocking is the same. Incredible show.
3:17 is so good, from the maid frowning at him, to the brilliant line "i apologize if my bell summoned you" , that it made me want to write a yt comment to share with you
1:31 I'm pretty sure this is the moment Logan gain respect for Greg. That moment where this awkward kid did what his children couldn't. Be upfront and ballsy.
@@robertbowser1846 Yeah. There has to be some bit of genuine light shrouded under the deliciously entertaining dirt, lol. Greg is quietly slick as hell and could end up surviving it all, but I hope he doesn't betray literally everyone to get there. (I get the same hope or investment from Tom's genuine love for Shiv and also from how Kendall and his struggle is very relatable if you know what it's like to be treated as the first in line, "responsible child/sibling" while simultaneously being the most overlooked and antagonized. It can create a life and personal developmental situation where you're frequently stuck in the middle, feeling like you can neither be the best for your family or for yourself. Feeling "broken" like Kendall was in S2 is when you resign yourself to both the external and internal blame for everything, so it's going to be fun seeing his comeback in S3. So yeah, things like that are the soul within this show full of soulless behavior, lol, and that balance works to maintain investment.) Forgive my long-winded thought-vomit, btw 😅
At the end of it all I think Greg (maybe after tom) will stand at the top. He's shadowing key figures and learning from them, he comes from relatively (lol) humble beginnings and he doesn't fully agree with the company's ethos. He's slowly learning how to beat the wicked at their own game and hopefully he will emerge with his soul in tact. When he does the company will take a new direction into greater heights
Greg in season one: "Mom I...I...I'm so sorry. I... m...m...messed up really bad." Greg in season two finale: "You a@#holes thought I was a pushover. How do you like me now!"
What's great about him is that he is UNSTOPPABLE!! He's a stuttering prick, but he gets what he wants. He makes his moves and he pushes back when people try to fuck him over, even if it means stumbling through it. NO FEAR GREG!
Greg has such a good heart that he is lost in a society. Ironically being put in the world of wolves makes his whole story and character's development so much more interesting than any other. I've always felt that his emotions and intelligence actually made him being incapable to find the right words, being overwhelmed by emotions, always with good intentions, smart but naive in a world which is opposite of his goodness. That resulting into inarticulateness. But as we see him in season 3 he starts slowly but inevitably to change, becoming more badass than before.. I think season 4 will be veeery interesting, cannot wait!
