Character Name: Old Gregg Character Series: The Mighty Boosh Character Age: Unknown; he would appear to be in his late twenties-early thirties, but he’s shown at the same age in a flashback to the 70s, implying he has relatively slow agin Background:http://mightyboosh.wikia.com/wiki/Old_Gregg Personality: Considering he’s a freaky fish man with a mangina that constantly refers to himself in the third person, it’s unsurprising that Old Gregg defines himself so much based around his body and nature as a “freak”. While it’s stated that he at some point did, in fact, live with normal people due to the fact that he had taken a home economics course and had gotten an A+ in said course for a crumble he’d made. Regardless, at some point or another he was either ostracized enough that he ended up leaving civilized society, finding a cave under Black Lake Pond as his home, where his psychosis began to steadily grow.
A major point of this psychosis is his battle about his appearance. He clearly recognizes himself as a freak, referring to his hermaphroditism as his “down-stairs mixup”, as well as his persistence that Howard MUST be thinking how freaky looking he is when they first meet. In order to try and counterbalance the fact that he hates how he looks, he attempts to compensate by trying to find ways that would make him seem plausibly not horrific. One of these tricks, and the most prominent, is that Gregg seems to identify himself as female over male, despite his male traits clearly being the predominant ones. After kidnapping Howard Moon, he continuously sets Howard up as the “male” in the relationship he imagines the two of them having. On the other hand, it’s worth noting that Gregg refers to himself as “he” when he doesn’t simply talk about himself in the third person.
Another way Gregg tries to forget his loneliness is by collecting frivolous crap he can find. These include a rather large rock (which he attempted to pass on to Howard, clearly believing he would cherish something like that as much as he did) and other assorted trash. His most prized possessions, however, are his watercolors, which include various self-portraits of himself and portraits of Bailey’s Irish Cream, including one entitled “Bailey’s as Close Up as You Can Get Without Getting Your Eye Wet”, which is simply a blank sheet of cream paper. As this demonstrates, he has a fascination with Bailey’s, which could point to the possibility that he’s an alcoholic as well. On the other hand, considering his anatomy, there’s a chance that he just likes the taste. Who knows. He’s a crazy fish person.
