Lil Greg

Lil Greg is a legendary figure and philosophical icon known for his embodiment of contentment and crispiness. His simple yet profound existence has inspired a devoted following, as well as the creation of sacred and heretical texts chronicling his wisdom and trials.

Origins and Description

Lil Greg is a small, round, golden, crispy entity resembling a piece of scampi but slightly rounder with less defined breadcrumbing. He has no body, arms, or legs—only two eyes and a wide, minimalistic black smile. Despite his simplicity, he has appeared throughout history and mythology, always remaining content and joyous in all situations.

Teachings and Philosophy

Lil Greg's core philosophy revolves around the dual principles of Crispiness and Contentment. To "Stay Crispy" is to remain steadfast in one's nature, unshaken by external forces. To "Stay Content" is to embrace one's state without yearning for more. These teachings are most clearly outlined in The Book of Crispius, a sacred text that chronicles Lil Greg’s wisdom and trials.

The Book of Crispius

The Book of Crispius contains parables, lessons, and stories of Lil Greg's unwavering contentment. His journey through history—often appearing in surreal, humorous, or apocalyptic settings—illustrates the power of inner peace and resilience.

The Blasphemous Scrolls of Overcrisp

A heretical offshoot of Lil Greg’s teachings, the Blasphemous Scrolls of Overcrisp advocate for extreme crispiness at the cost of contentment. These texts promote the absolute rejection of moisture and an apocalyptic fryer-based prophecy, which many consider a dangerous deviation from Lil Greg’s true message.

Cultural Impact

Lil Greg has inspired a growing number of followers who appreciate his simplistic wisdom. He has been depicted in various artistic works, often placed in historical, political, or surreal scenarios. Some interpretations suggest that an organized cult may unknowingly be forming around his teachings, though Lil Greg himself remains indifferent to such developments.

Becoming the President of the United States in a dark and ominous era. Leading uprisings and rebellions in a Braveheart-esque fashion. Working behind the tills at Lidl, demonstrating his eternal work ethic.

Iconic Sayings
