* SlasherSmile: His characters are usually grumpy, but when Greg does smile, he looks deranged.

* DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale: ...for a loose definition of "male". During his special ''You Magnificent Beast'', he describes how when he was eight, his mother made him a five-foot-tall stuffed toy which he christened Blue Ted (BT for short). Once he hit puberty, however, his relationship with BT got somewhat more "intimate". At the end of the show, an actor dressed as BT, with the addition of [[{{Squick}} little plushie genitals]], runs out on stage, pushes Davies over, and starts humping him.

* LargeAndInCharge: He's 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m) tall and plays this to comedic advantage.
