As a kid, I just saw Greg's antics as mere pranks, and never really as a form of antagonistic bullying. 11 years later, I now see the truth, and it honestly hurts... like a lot...
That'd be because greg is an unreliable narrator and has probably altered the truth in every diary to make himself look better (which he can't even do well in the first place, mind you.)
Greg looks like an asshole in his own book, and he wrote it 😂. Rowley's too pure to not try and paint greg as good as possible and he looks 3x worse, so imagine someone like Rodrick writing a book
@@logo-gj6nq I just remembered that his dad could be physically abusive. Do you remember, I think it was the first book, where if he knocks over Manny's block tower, his dad will throw whatever is in his hands. Im not sure if it was the first book, but it must've been one of the first four books. But other than that his dad is pretty normal
It's funny how different movie Greg and book Greg are. While yes, both are asshole, Greg in the films learned how important Rowley was to him and while remaining an asshole acted like a better friend in the next 2 films. Greg in the books learned he was dependent on Rowley and kept using him
This book in a nutshell: rowley wants to write a story and comes up with clever and creative ideas for the plot and Greg wants it to be all about him as well as take all the credit for it despite it being rowleys idea.
Greg would've been a good guy if his parents didn't favour Manny, Rodrick didn't use him as a toy, and if Manny treated him as an older brother and not someone else. But I think towards the conclusion of the series, Rowley will leave him for good, Greg's life will fall apart, and he'll start to show some character development
@@francismccormick7hn423 not rely, in the ugly truth, they did have a fight off-panel, but it's never said why they did. And in hard luck, Rowley gets a girlfriend and stops hanging out with Greg, only for their friendship to rekindle when Rowley gets cheated on.
Liking Greg Heffley is the same as liking Eric Cartman You like them as a character but would be the first to beat the shit out of them if given the opportunity
Kenny don'tknow shit, I actually agree with this, but Eric Cartman is far more deserving to get his nasty lil fat ass beating the crap out of him than Greg. Just my opinion tho : )

Small theory: Greg wanting to the story to all be about himself could be because his parents spoil his younger brother and let him get away with anything. And him bullying Rowley not only is something his older brother does to him and he wanted to have someone he is older than to project the bullying onto but Manny is protected by his parents so he choose Rowley to pick on
A valid point. While it doesn’t excuse his actions, it makes sense. Roderick gets to bully and scam Greg constantly, while Manny is treated like a prince. Greg’s a textbook middle child, and he’s created this inner fantasy where he’s the most important person. Unfortunately, this leads him to treat everyone around him like dirt, and creates constant problems. If he just stopped to think about how his actions affect his family and friends, he might have a change of heart.
are you telling me Greg is just done with having his family more spoiled than him and having more gifts and stuff, but the best he can do is manipulate Rowley? if he knew what he was doing he would just introduce many to the dark web (Manny already deleted Greg's account on that one pet game so it's a fair solution)
"Destroy" is a bit strong of a word considering Rowley barely if at all notices Greg's abuse and manipulation. But Greg egocentric view of the world and treatment of his only friend like he's little more than a talking pet does cause Rowley quite a bit of problems and chagrin
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674 realistic humans do change. Stop being so fucking nihilistic and pessimistic ugh. Some people change and some people don’t. That’s what’s realistic.
Greg's spotlight is dimming. His actions will catch up with him eventually and the consequences will be dire. In the end rowley wins because he will come out as a more respectable man than greg ever will. Sad that his perspective is clouded, it would be nice to actually see someone point out to him how much of an asshole greg is.
I hope the Diary of Wimpy Kid finale is Greg in high school, and he finally matured. He no longer tortures or manipulates Rowley, and he finally helps him out a long with other friends. The story ends with him and Rowley having successful families because Rowley was always beloved while Greg learnt his lesson.
As an aspiring author I really hate how Greg acted. If one of my friends straight up told me that they didn’t like my book I’d be a little ticked but I would be fine. Now if they just wanted it centered around themselves and wanted all the profit then I’d be really mad
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674 Certain moments in the books like manny being a brat and never getting in trouble (similar to most younger siblings) or how greg is always rejected by girls and is victim to so many weird situations would make greg seem relatable to an average middle/high school student. It's also the reason why people would say they hate greg but they also love greg at the same time. They hate him because of how terrible of a person he is and how self centered he is but they love him because you can relate to him at certain times.
@@marthekirby2596 I get what you are saying though. we don't have enough characters like Greg in terms of how you mentioned that he is a jerk but we pity him in some cases. the problem I have with someone like Peter Parker is he gets all the cool and popular chicks with a flick because he's a science nerd and spider man. He was lucky to have met MJ cause their Aunts were good friends
This book actually makes greg really unbearable. We are literally watching a sociopath manipulate his "friend" who is innocent and has no idea whats really happening.
Then I was like a Rowley, the only difference is I was fully aware of my manipulative ex-close friend. I ditched her after high school ended, and found a genuine best friend
I want Rowley to drop Greg maybe that can be a book. Maybe Call it "Im Done." Maybe Make It A Rowley and Wimpy Kid Book. Giving Both Sides Of the Story
Ok Greg did kind of help with Rowley’s fantasy novel up to a point. Greg making Rowley put more characters in the party is a good call, however that’s where Greg’s good deeds end.
I wanna see two books, one by Greg and one by Rowley, and the plot line is about how the two split up. The friendship ends. How would the two describe it? Who would've initiated it? Is it surprising to Greg that Rowley never comes back to him?
When I read this book and Greg said “they’re gonna have to hire a bunch of big strong men to play the part of Garg” I imagined a buff model in the movie saying something like “Garg hungry” in a smexy voice (I scarred myself for life)
There was also a part where Greg suggested they copyright the word 'kind' so no one else could use it in their stories. I mean, that's a bit much, even for him.
The only time Greg did something nice for Rowley just for being a good friend without telling him he owns him or anything was when he took the blame for the bleached walls himself in Cabin Fever
Yeah he must've worked really hard to make that story, Rowley just wanted to have fun and make his own ideas he didn't deserve any of Greg's manipulation
It should be noted that the art style Rowley’s book uses isn’t Rowley’s art style but Greg’s interpretation of Rowley’s art style. It’s the same we see Greg use when talking about Rowley’s drawings and why would Greg let Rowley draw in his diary.
Is just quite the toxic relationship overall where one depends and abuses the other while the other just doesnt know really what to do? Yet by pure innocent nature goes along with it, is quite depressing to be honest.
I need to see rodricks pov in a book.. like he really tries to like his siblings but they dont make it easy or about how everyone hates him and he really wants hos band to be big... i seen an edit and ig was really sakf it was like the dad came out and was like "rodrick just hung himself in the laundry room" i think its meant to be a joke but its kinda sad and it would seem to be real if his parents keep going on
the only problem with this story to me is that whenever rowley wants something good to happen to roland, greg comes up with a lame excuse to make it about garg.
I figured out Greg”s plan for Rowleys book It is kill off every character until his character is the only one remaining and so he can take all the merch
I probably would’ve be friends with Jeff Kinney even tho he acted like Greg when he was a kid. But greg.... just don’t convince me to be friends with him.

*Pleaaaaase make videos about DuckTales too!* The show needs more attention than it currently gets:( It's almost in the same situation as Infinity Train Ps: New episodes were 'just' announced, you could make a video about that
I know it's just a story, but it's extremely frustrating how much of a parasite Greg is on Rowley and how Rowley will never realize because of how dense and innocent he is. I wish Rowley would permanently leave Greg and have him realize that if it weren't for Rowley, he wouldn't have anyone around who actually liked him.
Yeah but sadly you know his parents, they’ll never teach if about maturing as he grows up, keeping him from not acting like a 5 year old, so he’ll never be able to realize how terrible of a friend Greg is
Rowley should write his own journal in secret without the influence of Greg in possible future novels but who knows Greg possibly was Rowley’s house full of cameras
Ya know, I'm kind of angry at this. Like, Greg here wants to ruin something that someone wants to do because he thinks it will benefit him. I mean wow, not everything has to be an award winning franchise, sure it can be a hope but that doesn't have to be the main goal. Besides, it wasn't about him. It was about a character similar to Rowley and his adventures, that's was it, that was all there really was. Instead, Greg wants to turn it about himself and how he thinks the story should be written. I'm not gonna just self-inserting, hell that's why I kind of do a lot of the time. But a story is meant to be written from the heart usually, it should have to appeal to someone else all the time, it's like with this story series my mom reads. She mentioned that people complained that there was too much sex then when there was a book without ANY sex they still complained about it. Another comparison is the whole 'art fixing' thing, ya know where people fix art and make normally Asian characters from anime black or have some kind of weird skin thing or some third thing I can't think of. That's something I hate and I'm not gonna even get started on that whole problem. Then this would turn into an essay about that problem. I know that this is a children's book but I mean... they are just piling on more and more reasons to hate the main character. If I were to read the books now, I'd probably hate the whole experience. At this point, Greg should Zoo-wee his last Mama and just bow out.
Dude. Stop looking at Greg’s actions WITHIN the story as actual flaws in the story. This was the intention we were supposed to see how Greg is from rowley perspective. So stop saying this is an actual flaw within the storyline cuz it’s not
Dude. Stop looking at Greg’s actions WITHIN the story as actual flaws in the story. This was the intention we were supposed to see how Greg is from rowley perspective. So stop saying this is an actual flaw within the storyline cuz it’s not
The book actually gets better to me after a lot of Greg’s suggestions, even though the intentions were really bad and a full Greg book wouldn’t be good, either. The romance and death and meeting of other characters was really fun
I used to read diary of a wimpy kid all the time. Now that I'm older I reread some of them and greg freaks me out fr. I think movie greg has more character development, but book greg is the canon and official greg so idk anymore. lol. I still love the story but greg is very problematic. Rodrick is the true hero of the Heffley family!
I’d kind of like a retelling of one of the early Wimpy Kid stories from Rowley’s perspective. One of the few things I found sympathetic about Greg in his own story was that other than Rowley, the entire world; other kids, teachers, even his own family all seemed uncaring if not outright cruel to him by default, and certain concepts, like them having to sit at the piano room during lunch and the bullies forcing them to eat the cheese seem like things that actually happened rather than Greg’s spin on things, so I would be interested to see Rowley’s perspective on that kind of event, since his accounts seems to be honest, if naive, so it would be a good lens to judge if their world is actually as cruel and unfair as Greg makes it out to be.
I won't be surprised if Rowley wrote the entire book, and greg manipulates him into giving the money and says, "If it weren't for my awseome self, this character wouldn't exist, and he would probably take 75 percent of the money
While most people will punch Greg in the face if they meet him I will try to find out what motivates Greg to act like he does and try to make him a better person Aka purify him when no one else will
Greg pls stop

tbh rowley deserves a better friend, he is a good guy
I hope greg heffley experiences spain without the s.
1:50 sidekick is a pretty good description for Greg heffley. BECAUSE he needs a side to kick. Without a side to kick, he just starts kicking.
This would make a good movie or a show
And rowley is pure
And I thought Bart Simpson was a horrible friend
Khalid Henry or Eric Cartman.
@@MichaelBlaneWalker nah dude dont compare Greg to CARTMAN
@@Userrrr6834 Newsflash! Greg makes fun of Rowley’s interests and wrote a very nasty note to him!
@@MichaelBlaneWalker alright? My point still stands?
@@MichaelBlaneWalker do you want me to list all the crimes cartman did?
The funniest part is how garg was Barely the main focus of the book and somehow Greg thinks he's the star (Like Come on)
Yes another video, thanks for the late birthday! Really Greg stop abusing Rowley
*Pleaaaaase make videos about DuckTales too!*
The show needs more attention than it currently gets:( It's almost in the same situation as Infinity Train
Ps: New episodes were 'just' announced, you could make a video about that
is that a sequel to Diary of an awesome friendly kid.
Yes
@@cringechannel1071 ok.
Yes
I saw the ad for this, and that was probably the only time i didn’t skip the ad.
More evidence baby, woo!
2:33 I ended up laughing a lot at the action figure box..
Jeff: I base Greg off of myself
also Jeff: and then he's gonna say "Your an idiot-
Hi Val I love your videos you inspired me to start making UA-cam videos🖤
Awww!
I knew Greg would torture Rowley in this one...
Kinda ironic when you think back to the Diary of a Wimpy Kid days and realize the worst antagonist figure in the book is the supposed protagonist.
It kind of makes it a diffrent book ya know like from the bullys perspective those are hard to come by
that kinda gives the school a point to reward bullies and bully the offended kids
“Roland’s too busy practicing his flute to be interested in girls...”
Greg Heffley really reminds me of somebody I knew back when I was 11.....Damn. This is getting deep....
"Garg must've loosened it." ah yes exactly why he couldn't pull the sword out
Greg already lost it when rowley REVEALED the book, so its canon
Greg’s mind is to filled with being famous
I know it's just a story, but it's extremely frustrating how much of a parasite Greg is on Rowley and how Rowley will never realize because of how dense and innocent he is. I wish Rowley would permanently leave Greg and have him realize that if it weren't for Rowley, he wouldn't have anyone around who actually liked him.
Yeah but sadly you know his parents, they’ll never teach if about maturing as he grows up, keeping him from not acting like a 5 year old, so he’ll never be able to realize how terrible of a friend Greg is
I FREAKING love rowley’s book, I wish there was a version with only the story. Greg ruined it
I realize the sad truth that Greg is really toxic and tries to be cool and doesn’t have fun
He probably doesn’t realize the damage that does to others.
GREG IS SO JEALOUS!
Physiologist: Front facing Greg isn’t real he can’t hurt you
Front Facing Greg: 3:32
Greg gives off “Karen who records themselves being absolute trash like people will be on their side”
But hey, that’s just a theory A BOOK THEORY!!!
Dude. I remember when I was like 10 and I laughed at this stuff in diary of a wimpy kid.
1:16 . I don't like snitches . But Rowley is such a happy wholesome kid . Especially in the new movie . I hate seeing him sad
Rowley should write his own journal in secret without the influence of Greg in possible future novels but who knows Greg possibly was Rowley’s house full of cameras
The story was probably a little bit interesting but then it got more interesting with the plot twist with the Wizard at the end.
Ya know, I'm kind of angry at this. Like, Greg here wants to ruin something that someone wants to do because he thinks it will benefit him. I mean wow, not everything has to be an award winning franchise, sure it can be a hope but that doesn't have to be the main goal.
Besides, it wasn't about him. It was about a character similar to Rowley and his adventures, that's was it, that was all there really was.
Instead, Greg wants to turn it about himself and how he thinks the story should be written.
I'm not gonna just self-inserting, hell that's why I kind of do a lot of the time. But a story is meant to be written from the heart usually, it should have to appeal to someone else all the time, it's like with this story series my mom reads.
She mentioned that people complained that there was too much sex then when there was a book without ANY sex they still complained about it.
Another comparison is the whole 'art fixing' thing, ya know where people fix art and make normally Asian characters from anime black or have some kind of weird skin thing or some third thing I can't think of. That's something I hate and I'm not gonna even get started on that whole problem. Then this would turn into an essay about that problem.
I know that this is a children's book but I mean... they are just piling on more and more reasons to hate the main character. If I were to read the books now, I'd probably hate the whole experience.
At this point, Greg should Zoo-wee his last Mama and just bow out.
Bro shortan your comments
@@CringeLord471 Fair point but a few short words wouldn't really explain how I feel about all of this tbh.
Dude. Stop looking at Greg’s actions WITHIN the story as actual flaws in the story. This was the intention we were supposed to see how Greg is from rowley perspective. So stop saying this is an actual flaw within the storyline cuz it’s not

The book actually gets better to me after a lot of Greg’s suggestions, even though the intentions were really bad and a full Greg book wouldn’t be good, either. The romance and death and meeting of other characters was really fun
I hope in high school or even college Rowley leaves Greg, that's normally how things go with toxic friends.
This is another good perspective of the book
I used to read diary of a wimpy kid all the time. Now that I'm older I reread some of them and greg freaks me out fr. I think movie greg has more character development, but book greg is the canon and official greg so idk anymore. lol. I still love the story but greg is very problematic. Rodrick is the true hero of the Heffley family!
I’d kind of like a retelling of one of the early Wimpy Kid stories from Rowley’s perspective. One of the few things I found sympathetic about Greg in his own story was that other than Rowley, the entire world; other kids, teachers, even his own family all seemed uncaring if not outright cruel to him by default, and certain concepts, like them having to sit at the piano room during lunch and the bullies forcing them to eat the cheese seem like things that actually happened rather than Greg’s spin on things, so I would be interested to see Rowley’s perspective on that kind of event, since his accounts seems to be honest, if naive, so it would be a good lens to judge if their world is actually as cruel and unfair as Greg makes it out to be.
I won't be surprised if Rowley wrote the entire book, and greg manipulates him into giving the money and says, "If it weren't for my awseome self, this character wouldn't exist, and he would probably take 75 percent of the money
While most people will punch Greg in the face if they meet him I will try to find out what motivates Greg to act like he does and try to make him a better person
Aka purify him when no one else will
