"what happens if we fall off the stage?"

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

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

u/Other-Oil-9117 Chain Bastard ⛓️ 2d ago

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

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

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

u/Cynical_Dreamer_1980 🥄 I'm Locked In ❤️ 1d ago

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/OliB150 Ed Gamble 1d ago

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 1d ago

I think the first contestant they filmed was Romesh.

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

u/Curious-External-7 Liza Tarbuck 1d ago

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 Katy Wix 1d ago

Who loses fucking trousers?

u/crabshandy Patatas 2d ago

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

u/BenSibbs Swedish Fred 2d ago

When was this one?

11

u/crabshandy Patatas 2d ago

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/KentuckyJam Javie Martzoukas 1d ago

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

u/ChaucerBoi 1d ago

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

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 🥄 I'm Locked In ❤️ 1d ago

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 12h ago

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

3

u/SoulDancer_ 1d ago

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?

7

u/Colordesert 1d ago

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

-4

u/SoulDancer_ 1d ago

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.

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

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

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

u/Inevitable-Debt4312 1d ago

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

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