Old Gregg is a merman-like character from the British surreal comedy The Mighty Boosh, played by Noel Fielding, who first appears in the episode The Legend of Old Gregg. In the story he lures Howard Moon into his underwater cave with a mixture of hospitality, song and unsettling affection, and the know me moment comes from that strange courtship. Clips of the character circulated widely on YouTube and later in short-form edits, where his voice became shorthand for creepy, over-eager desire. Fans still quote him because the performance is so specific that a few seconds recall the whole bizarre scene.
