He puts sunscreen and sunglasses on him, and I can’t handle how cute this is. “If anything bad happens to my kid, you better pray your space goddesses’ magic can bring people back from the dead, because I will destroy you.” Vidalia leaves Greg with Sour Cream for the day. She asks Greg to watch Sour Cream while she goes to work. Vidalia gets a phone call from her scheduled babysitter, canceling on her. We previously saw this t-shirt in So Many Birthdays, when Steven was thinking about what his career should be. Greg asks her what’s up with her weird shirt, and she says she now has a job at the t-shirt shop. Vidalia makes him take his shirt off so she can throw it in the laundry. He spills cereal and milk all over himself in the couch. A commercial comes on for a new show, Li’l Butler, the same one he and Amethyst were obsessed with in Maximum Capacity. This goes to show that his horrible manners as a house guest in House Guest weren’t just a one-off.īaby Sour Cream spends this conversation imitating Vidalia’s posture, which is adorable. Greg completely misses this passive-aggressive remark. Greg asks Vidalia if it’s okay to bum around the house. Rose can afford to obsess over Greg because she has no physical needs that require tending. Greg’s comment that Rose can’t cook because she doesn’t have to eat drives the point home further. Greg’s obsession with Rose is clearly a bit unhealthy. “So have you done anything lately, besides worship everything she does?” asks Vidalia. The most hilarious thing about him is that they got his normal voice actor, Brian Posehn, to use his regular adult voice for Baby Sour Cream’s “mehs”. The world didn’t realize that we needed Baby Sour Cream, but we totally did. Here’s the best part of this episode, Baby Sour Cream. You might recall that Greg and Vidalia knew each other from his days as a rock star, as seen in Story for Steven. Greg shows up at Vidalia’s house to mooch off of her. We see the Gems’ reactions to Greg waiting as they return from a mission: Amethyst grins and playfully elbows him, Pearl glares and ignores his extended hand, Garnet gives him a high five, and Rose kisses him. I guess this is where Steven gets his taste for fry bits. Lacking money for food, Greg pulls someone’s discarded fries out of the trash. Rose tosses Greg into the air for fun, which is not very subtle imagery given Greg’s realization later in this episode that he is a man-baby. We see him bathing in the ocean, accidentally ripping his only jeans on a fence and shrugging it off, and leaving a slice of pizza on his chest as he naps in the sun, leaving a pizza-shaped tan. Greg is broke and doesn’t seem to particularly care. Considering it appears to be about a tall, powerful alien romancing a human man, it’s not surprising this would appeal to Rose. Rose is reading “Passions of Xanxor,” the book Steven found in Greg’s storage in Maximum Capacity. I’ve mentioned this before, but I really do love this era of the Gems’ outfits a lot. Rose is happy to see Greg, as is Amethyst. We see the general dynamic of the Gems at the time. The way he’s just waiting for the Gems to arrive is reminiscent of S1 Steven – a character with a lot of maturing left to do. There’s no house yet, so it’s just a plain cave opening. Greg is lying around next to the warp pad waiting for Rose. “I guess I’m content to be on the arm of someone who’s as incredible as you,” Greg sings, which is a nice sentiment, but kind of throws out the possibility that he could become incredible himself. We first see him teaching Rose to dance, playing the same album he played for Steven and Connie in We Need to Talk. Greg starts singing “I Think I Need a Little Change.” We’re in the years after Greg gave up his music career to stay with Rose, and this song is all about how much he admires Rose – and how “admiring Rose” is sadly not an actual job that pays. “Can’t I ever tell you a story without working in a song?” - Rebecca Sugar, probably Steven wants to hear the story of how he got the job, but when Greg starts, he runs and gets the guitar so Greg can sing the story instead. Greg mentions he’s been working at the car wash for over fifteen years. I guess living in a van and having him wear your old band t-shirts helps cut down on costs a lot. Here, he’s excited about a day with two customers, which makes you wonder how he ever could have afforded to raise a kid. Spoilers for episodes beyond the current point will be enclosed in Future Vision blocks, which will include spoilers for the entire series.īack in Beach City Drift, we established that Greg continues to work at the car wash despite his new wealth. Spoiler Policy: All spoilers up to and including the currently discussed episode will be unmarked. Official Description: Steven learns the tale of how Greg came to work at the car wash.
