Thank yoouu Genziana for letting me buy him! (apologies to you and the owner of the parents that this is what happened. I have no regrets)

this is what happens when you watch too much British Comedy (most notably 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and Would I lie to You? And a little bit of Taskmaster. But mostly Cats Does Countdown)
Why Greg in particular? Just......don’t ask it’s too embarrassing

I made him a Bog mostly for the facial expression and build they are
Yes I realise they arent the biggest (just pretend he's ten times bigger) but
It was too perfect


His familiar is named after retired pro boxer Chris Eubank
As Greg did....an awful impression of him that ended up biting him in the rear end later on
Never seen a man his size move so fast

Gregory Daniel Davies (DAY-viss); born 14 May 1968 is a Welsh comedian, actor, presenter, and writer. He is best known for his roles as Greg in We Are Klang, Mr Gilbert in The Inbetweeners, Ken Thompson in Cuckoo, the Taskmaster in Taskmaster, Dan Davies in Man Down, and Paul Wickstead in The Cleaner, the latter of which he also wrote. He has appeared as himself on Mock the Week, Fast and Loose, Live at the Apollo, and Would I Lie to You? For his performance in Cuckoo, Davies was nominated for the BAFTA Television Award for Best Male Comedy Performance in 2013. In 2003, Davies made an appearance on the children's TV show D*ck and Dom In Da Bungalow, playing a caricatured version of himself named "Massive Greg". In 2005, Davies played a caricature of cricketer W. G. Grace in a series of adverts for Channel 4's television coverage of The Ashes. In 2007, Davies was nominated three times in the Chortle Awards, in the categories "Breakthrough Act" (for his solo stand-up act), "Best Sketch, Variety or Character Act", and "Best Full-Length Show" (both as part of sketch team We Are Klang). From 2008, Davies played head of Sixth Form Mr Gilbert in the E4 coming-of-age British comedy The Inbetweeners. He also appears in the follow-up films The Inbetweeners Movie (2011) and The Inbetweeners 2 (2014). In 2010, Davies' first solo stand-up show Firing Cheeseballs at a Dog was nominated for the Fosters Edinburgh Comedy Awards at the Edinburgh Festival. The show was subsequently taken on his first ever tour the following autumn. He was also nominated for the Edinburgh Fringe's Malcolm Hardee "Act Most Likely to Make a Million Quid" Award. From October 2013, Davies starred in Channel 4's sitcom Man Down, as Dan, a man who hates his job as a teacher, with Rik Mayall as his father. Channel 4 commissioned an additional 25-minute Christmas special before the first series aired, and a second series was announced during Davies's live tour "The Back of My Mum's Head". Following Mayall's death in June 2014, Davies met with Channel 4 to discuss the future of the show. Mayall had been intended to have a more prominent role in the second series. Channel 4 later announced that Man Down would return for a second series in 2015. The classroom used in the show is the same classroom in which Davies taught at Sandhurst School. Since July 2015, Davies has been the host of the panel game show Taskmaster. In December 2015, he starred in BBC Two's comedy drama A Gert Lush Christmas where he played Tony, the uncle of Russell and Kerry Howard's characters. On Christmas Day he played King Hydroflax in the 2015 Doctor Who Special "The Husbands of River Song".

In November 2017, Davies recorded a Netflix stand-up comedy special at the Hammersmith Apollo during his Magnificent Beast UK tour. It was released as You Magnificent Beast in 2018.

In 2021, Davies wrote and starred in the BBC One comedy series The Cleaner. He is also the current host of Never Mind The Buzzcocks on Sky Max which was revived in 2021.

Davies is noted for his height, standing 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m) tall.
