What's your favourite Greg Davies TV show?
He was the best part of The Inbetweeners to me. Fantastic.
The Inbetweeners, closely followed by Taskmaster and Man Down. Greg’s just brilliant. His stand up stuff is hilarious too.
Man Down! I’m excited for his upcoming series too
Yes
Man down and taskmaster
I'd buy Greg's autobiography in a heartbeat.
Guarantee it would be the most ridiculous thing ever written.
“And then Greg Davies leapt off his horse and shouted 'That's how it's done, losers', and all the guys and girls watching him applauded and knelt down before him and they lay down before him and sort of curled up into balls before him and Greg picked them up and rolled them at a barn and roared at them.”
I live close to his home area, and wrote to him about 5 years ago to ask him to write his autobiography based on his funny childhood anecdotes. Fingers crossed ……
Has he written one yet? I would love to hear more stories about his dad!
I'd get mine in a bookstore.. but to each their own I guess
What I love about Greg's comedy or even just his general manner, is that he's always on the edge of bursting out laughing, and he cannot be serious at any point, unless he's playing a character where him being serious is where the humour lies, such as Taskmaster and Mr Gilbert.
If I was younger! Honestly, the story about visiting his mom, the wash, the toilet, the Pollock reference, and the microphone. I laugh has much as I did the first watch to the several dozen. It was Oscar worthy
It's so strange listening to him talk about something quietly and sincerely, since he puts on such a big, dominating personality in his performances.
he really is lovely.
U should hear him at the Christmas parties and then at the last minute he goes back to being very quiet
I watched this a few months ago and a name he said stuck with me “Logan Murray” and that he does a course on stand up. I’m five weeks into that course. My first gig is June first. Thank you.
How did it go??
@@peskycritter79 amazingly! I ended up getting a stand up gig the week before the course ended so I’m now three stand up gigs in. I moved house so not done anymore but I don’t plan on stopping.
@@misstrussteLgbTq, good for you! I'm sure you're very funny.
@@misstrussteLgbTqCongrats!
please post us a link of your stand up!!!!
He looks very handsome as he ages.
I love his straightforward honesty about his decision to go into teaching despite really wanting to work in comedy. It makes the story of his segue into comedy to all the more interesting. Stories that aren’t a straight line are always better.
Absolute legend,I love Greg Davies.A genuine chancer done well
Him talking about his Dad was very touching.
There's a lot of love there.
The sense of awe and respect Greg has for Rik always comes across.
The difference between sincere, deep gratitude, admiration and above all else, love, versus being seen to say the right thing or having someone write it for you. It's why most things said by politicians gives an unnerving feeling to most people aware of the constant spin.
if anything being a teacher probably sharpened his tongue and helped him. Seeing him talk about Rik Mayall alone made me a fan tho.
i think its also kept him very down to earth throughout his fame. it's very different when someone becomes famous in middle age instead of as a teen or 20 something. he still just seems like a normal dude who is very genuine and doesn't do the phony celebrity act. like i bet if you hung out with him he would act exactly like he does on tv, it's just who he is. and he seems like an actual decent person
The audience felt like a classroom 😂
As a person who was born to 2 teacher parents, I can guarantee you his teaching career sharpened his tongue 😂
@@andracatheduckking257 I think this is the case with a lot of british comedians in general.
Big up Greg, and Alex Horne. And Frank Skinner for helping to get Taskmaster off the ground. One of my favourite things to watch. The chaos of the previously filmed tasks makes the studio time so funny.
Edit: The impress the mayor task made me cringe so badly, but Joe Wilkinson just buying some random ice lollies and some lager, to connect with a mayor who everyone just sorta assumed would have a stick up his arse, was hilarious.
His expressing of his passion, his journey and his process for comedy makes me respect and admire him all the more.
He's smart, nice, handsome and funny af 😅🙌🏾😍
I love him ...
A national treasure!
An International treasure . I adoore him 💙
@@who_Is_faten_helmi true that!
As a tall person I immediately feel the pain in his back having to speak at that podium . 🤣
I have the biggest crush on this man. No rhyme or reason, but he makes me smile and that's sexy AF.
DEAL WITH IT!!
I am right there with you!
OMG I feel the same way. I just don't know why but I find him sooo attractive!
Me too!! He’s so funny, it’s just gorgeous!
Me too
I adore this man.
7:15 "Can I exploit my friends and relatives by, y'know, just telling truths?" I think Greg just described blackmail 😂
Not really though is it? Blackmail would be Greg demanding stuff or money in exchange for witholding the stories.
What Greg actually is describing here is, well… exploitation.
@@TommyGlint nope it's neither just telling the truth of people that's all don't do something if u r ashamed of it. It's comedy
god hes so handsome
As it turned out, those dozen years spent teaching gave Greg some great material.
Greg Davies is amazing!
One of the funniest people on TV or on the stand up circuit.
Oh my god I just love him
"don't call it your trap, Greg."
Thank you so much for posting this. It's a great collage. I can watch it over and over.
Love Greg, he is so awesome....and funny
Love your standup Greg, but where you really excel is in “The Cleaner” - you stretch your funny bone into some really dark places in that - Deep! The Thinking person’s comedy! When are there more seasons coming out? ❤❤❤
The 1st episode with HBC was absolutely superb
Greg Davies for Doctor Who
He's been in doctor who
The husbands of river song
Thankyou for being you Greg💙
Just found this! I looove Greg, he always reduces me to tears of laughter 😂. Such a gift 🎁
Thanks again
I loved the Young Ones.....that was a hysterical show.
I like him a lot.
Greg just seems like just a nice, funny dude who doesn't take himself too seriously. There's no stories about him being a diva that I know of. You can just tell he's a man that appreciates where he is and is humbled by it.
Just happy hes happy with his work and life. Lovley man.💙👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Lovely.
It’s a good job , he gave his teaching job up and does stand up comedy now , BECAUSE HE IS DEFINITELY ONE OF BRITAINS 🇬🇧 BEST COMEDIANS without a doubt .👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wales finest comedian...not British, Greg is Welsh... from Wales...
thanks for that Phil
I adore him. Abs the fact that he loved the Aunt Bunny portion of Delirious, love him more
Truly - that Delirious show is one of the funniest shows EVER and wasn't Eddie only 19 then or something? I'm new to Greg Davies, having just discovered Taskmaster, and am a big fan now!!!
i have the biggest crush on greg….😍 😭
Yes, luckily, there’s a LOT of him to love 💕 *drool*
6"8' of sweet gorgeous love machine!
We all do 🥰
The guy recording in the background 🤣
Thanks Phil! 😉
I can't help it, I'm in love with Beastie
I just realized... Greg would fitpretty well as Rick if they should ever do some sort of tribute young ones thing!
He absolutely gives off Rick vibes to me!
I cant stop seeing Rik in him.
Me too - I totally see it!
Little Alex Hoooorne:))) love #taskmaster
Bloody hell, you’re beautiful.
he’s so beautiful
Where can I find the full interview with him? I would be interested to watch the whole thing.
He is just so funny 😆 and sweet….I don’t ever want to meet him in real life!
19:36 😂😂😂😂😂
I hope Greg enjoyed his Caesar Salad.
"it just says 'BEDWETTER'"
Greg Davies could be one of the funniest beings on the face of this earth. However, Little Alex Horne and Papa Greg, damn. Comedy gold! Btw from the south!
I am an attractive, single 63 year old woman- 45 - 50 years old in the head.Worked in secondary school for 33yrs.I totally get Greg s humour. I am a mighty 5ft 2inches tall, and I would love a big hug from this very funny and attractive mountain of a man xx
I always thought Rik Mayall would have been an amazing Dr Who.
Now he isn't with us I truly hope Greg gets a shot at it.
I think he would be EPIC!
OMFG... could you imagine? in the true sense of the word that would be AWESOME. (not 80s aweome, actual awesome)
At 7:49 where the interviewer wipes her snot on her hand, Greg's face is perfect!
Holy shit, that was the worst Kermit the Frog I have ever seen.
Yeah. He’s gotten better since, thankfully.
You can stand on the shore and watch the lakers go over the curve of the earth. You cant see across the width of Erie, Ontario, or Huron. They are massive. They have tides.
Lake Erie and Lake Huron are better for swimming. Absolutely massive beaches. Check out Grand Bend on Lake Huron!
I lived on the Hamilton Beach strip until I was 20. (A sand spit between Hamilton Harbour and Lake Ontario divided by 'the canal' with its lift bridge). We fished for smelts in the spring with dip nets. Pickereal, salmon, whitefish, lake bass. There are many many fresh springs on the bottom of Lake Ontario and Hamilton has tapped into those for the best drinking water in southern Ontario.
I camped for years on Lake Erie and it had crazy weather changes because it is so shallow.
We dont care too much about controlling our border - the longest uncontrolled border in the world.
In Ontario we include Lake St Claire and Lake Simcoe as part of the Great Lakes.
“Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life”.
Not really. Do what you love and you'll love the work you do.
For those wondering...Greg Davies is tall.... we are talking 7 ft 6" in stockings and just under 8Ft in Cuban heels which he likes to wear to compliment his love of wearing women's lingery and his mother's pants. Ok...he is 6ft 8 inches...which is VERY tall...and yes he is probably still wearing his mother's pants. Gotta love Greg Davies...a mountain of a man and a REALLY funny guy.
uk comedy doesn't get the same recognition as us comedy
Yeah, I’m an American and a huge British comedy fan; tbh I feel like I’m constantly peer pressuring everyone I know into watching people like Greg Davies, and I’m always obnoxiously excited when those people wind up loving the shows and comedians I’ve been forcing down their throats 🤣 UK comedy truly is a force to be reckoned with though. I remember watching AbFab with my mom when I was way too young to understand about half of it but that and Monty Python are what I consider, even now, to be kind of the basis of my own sense of humor (plus my own father, because he’s funny as hell), cuz those shows/movies were my starting point for British comedy but also just comedy in general. US comedy has some serious legends but I think the UK wins that particular category hands down.
Even though it's 1000x better, IMO.
Only in USA - it’s huge in the rest of the world. Where have you been? Oh yeah, USA.
The "Best of Greg Davies" surely not !
15:11 Absolutely Greg, quite right that we recognise the disabled.
Howling 😅 and I'm a woman.. I mean disabled
“Female-led shows rightly dominate” is so hilariously sexist that I’m not at all surprised it was uttered on British television.
Greg Davies is yummy!
was the 4 female comics plucking facial hair funny?
No....
No, not really
I like the show but they do promote bully as a fun thing.... Hay the format works but it stands against this comment. 19:45
if he shed the shackles of Politicly Correctness he's be ten times more funny..
ok
The most unfunny man on the TV fast behind McKintyre 🤫
Delirious isn't dated. The pc language tackover has taken too much from culture.
yeah but you're not funny
But you most certainly are, aren't you? 🙂
calm down. obviously you like him enough to comment on a video of him. jokes on you
I have a few questions. What's the point of this post? Is it in the hopes Greg himself might see it? Is that why are you using the word "you're" in that sentence? 1. he didn't personally upload this. 2. He probably won't see your or any of these comments at all 3. If he does see this are you someone he knows personally? Because if not I highly doubt the outcome will be him coming to some epiphany and saying to himself "You know what I think I'll restructure my entire life and give up my career because John here doesn't think I am funny." Or is the point to come here knowing that because this video is dedicated to one certain comnedian that there are probably fans of that comedian and your purpose was to stir things up knowing that people would probably disagree with you and start arguments. Or is it just to complain to complain. Because we get it everyone's entitled to their opinion no one's saying you're not. It's just in order to share your opinion you'd have to have seen the video thought ugh I don't like him at all clicked on it and then taken the time to write out your comment just so everyone would know that you are of the opinion that you don't find Greg Davies funny. You could have scrolled on by but instead you decide to click on it and comment thereby boosting it in the algorithm. Just ignoring it would have been a more effective message that it's not content you or other people want to see. Besides as you can see most people either don't care about your opinion or disagree with it because again they clicked on this to specifically watch something they might enjoy. Just curious as to the reasoning here
@@mollymeadows5849 why did you reply and why are you questioning "you're", it's correct.
Oh god why did I reply.
@@robertmclellan1605 I don't think I did question the use of "you're" as incorrect I do realize it is grammatically appropriate as it's the contraction of you and are. I put it in quotes because to me his use of the word you're implies that the celebrity he doesn't think is funny is who he thinks going to be directly reading it. The you're implies that Greg Davies is his intended audience . Now UA-cam being being this big public forum in a way kind of diminishes the fact that he will actually see that one comment out of the millions out there don't you think? Therefore making his use of you're a bit ridiculous as his intended audience would probably never see it. Which you know I've said before but you apparently needed a little more context as to what I meant because apparently the couple sentences before were not enough. As to why I replied please refer back to the part to where I referred to UA-cam as a public forum. Which to give you context for what that means as well since you might need help means the public (i.e. me) can interact if they want to and I did. Which if you find that hypocritical I can admit and so be it. I don't really care
One of my favourite human beings.
you Brits use that word "lovely" unlike folks in the states. and i think that Greg Davies is lovely. and funny as fuck. he just utterly tickles me in a way few others do.
and... i do just absolutely have to plug task master: utter brilliance. i know it's ALex's baby. but ... i don't know if could ever be what it is without Greg Davies. i only wish i could see a few episodes taped in the studio audience.
Alex is SO unfunny....
