The Unforgettable Moments of Tom and Greg in Succession

The Disgusting Brothers

When Succession resumes for season 4, Tom has been split from Shiv for several months. In the season 4 premiere, Tom grills Greg for the date he's brought to Logan's birthday party. Greg refers to her as 'another tick on the chart,' reminding Tom that the two have been referring to themselves as 'the disgusting brothers,' which Tom claims was 'heavily ironized.' The idea of the duo hyping themselves up as a two-man playboy wolfpack in Shiv's absence is hilarious, and it's made even funnier by the fact that Tom is now embarrassed by it.

Tom On Speaker Phone

Early in their relationship, Tom calls Greg to ask where he is. Driving Ewan Roy down to New York for Thanksgiving, Greg explains the situation to Tom, who retorts, 'Oh, Greg, f*** your grandpa!' Greg frantically tells Tom he's on speakerphone, showing Ewan's reaction to the off-hand statement. Tom's face is priceless as the camera zooms in on his moment of embarrassment, having just insulted Logan Roy's brother, albeit estranged. He solemnly replies, 'Well, I shouldn't be, Greg,' holding his head down in shame.

Greg Blackmails Tom

Greg does Tom a huge favor when he takes care of shredding documents, but he makes a big move by saving some for later. In season 2, episode 4, Greg tries to make his first move on Tom, blackmailing by revealing that he has the documents saved. His attempt to blackmail is ridiculously unthreatening, and Tom handles it like a proud father, excited to see Greg playing the game. Tom lovingly calling Greg 'a f***ing slimeball' is one of the funniest moments in Succession.

The Safe Room Water Bottle Fight

In the 'Safe Room' episode in Succession season 2, a gunshot is heard in the Waystar Royco building, and the Roy family is ushered into saferooms. While Logan and Shiv are brought to a high-security bunker, Tom and Greg are taken to a random office space that's referred to as a safe room. In this room, Greg reveals to Tom that he wants to move on from working at ATN and requests a 'business open relationship' between the two. The enraged Tom begins to pelt water bottles at Greg, making for fantastic physical comedy. The funniest moment is when someone tries to split them up, and Tom insists, 'This is executive-level business!'

You Can't Make A Tomelette Without Breaking Some Greggs

At the end of season 2, Tom is questioned by Senator Gil Eavis as part of the trial. In one of the show's funniest moments, Eavis asks Tom about a 'Gregory Hirsch,' and the camera immediately pans to a panicking Greg, sitting just behind Tom. Of course, Tom panics and says no before hilariously retracting the statement. Tom denying that he knows Greg is hysterical on its own, but Eavis follows it up by revealing that Tom sent Greg 67 emails in the same evening that contained the contents: 'You can't make a Tomlette without breaking some Greggs.'

Tom Catches Greg Stealing Cookies

Early in season 1, Tom catches Greg in the break room stealing cookies, which he's stashing in dog poop bags. Tom notices the bag and asks if he's carrying dog poop, to which Greg responds by explaining that he's out of money and needs the cookies for sustenance. Greg hilariously has to defend the usage of the poop bag, saying, 'It's not like they pre-poop them. They're just bags, really. It's just a mental barrier.'

Greg's Principles

Season 2 is one of the best Succession seasons, and Greg and Tom are two of the consistent highlights. Early on, when Greg is brought on to ATN, he pulls Tom over to discuss the ethical implications of working for Logan's news empire. The entire conversation is laugh-out-loud entertaining, and the highlight is Tom demanding that Greg list his principles, to which Greg bumbles out: 'I don't know... like I'm against racism.' Tom tells Greg to suck it up, suggesting that principles don't exist in the real world.

Greg & Tom Meet

Episode 1 introduces audiences to the Succession cast, and a bit at the end shows the star-crossed duo meeting for the first time. Tom seems like he's being polite at first before saying, 'If you need any help, seriously, any help, any advice, just don't f***ing bother.' Tom instantly spots someone he can mess with and enjoys the dynamic with Greg, kicking off the fan-favorite dynamic between the pair.

Greg & Tom Try Prison Food

When Greg and Tom think they're going to prison, the two go out for a meal meant to resemble what prison food tastes like. Only, according to Tom, it'll taste worse in prison. The two eat the disgusting food while grappling with the situation, with Greg noticeably growing scared. He suggests that his 'physical length' may make him a target, revealing some of the terrible things that could happen to him behind bars. The moment becomes a heartwarming scene between them, as Tom offers to take responsibility for Greg's wrongdoings so they won't both have to suffer.
