- After being hounded by friends and family to make this video, I finally succumbed. The photos are from lds.org and the script comes from
www.mormonmomma.com/index.php/...
P.S. If you're not LDS, you should go to mormon.org to listen to how these guys actually talk so you can see just how good these impressions are!

You forgot about Pres. Eyring - "As you place the peanut butter cup into your mouth, you will begin to get a taste of the chocolate on your tongue. This savory chocolate flavor will motivate you to bite further into the creamy peanut butter center. You will feel the urge to chew and savor the mixture of chocolate and peanut butter in your mouth as you continue to take further bites with the rest of the cup. This pattern will stay with you throughout your life." :-D
+hypnometal That is so perfect!!!! hahahaha
oh my gosh i even read it in his voice! X"D
You forgot the part where he cries. lol
"Mr. President, I believe that's what SHE SAID!"
Add a few tears in there for Elder Eyring as well..
While there is no wrong way to eat a Reese, there is a good way, a better way, and a best way.
According to President Oaks...
😎 Make a sandwich with them. Always good.
Good whole grain bread, a little butter and Reese treats.
YUMMY YUMMY 😋 😍 😜 😘
Ok that’s good😂
You really need to update this video with current apostles! It would be awesome!!!!! Please please!!
We need a president Hinkley too
I totally agree with you Jacob School
"If you are unsure of how to eat a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, ask the missionaries. They can help you." - Elder Nelson
"She hadn't had a Reese's cup...in years."
My siblings and I quote this
Any way you could be convinced to do an updated version? 😂 Holland and Bednar would be iconic
Came here to make the same request!! 🙏
Yes, an update!!! 😂My kids don’t fully appreciate this humor because they grew up with different general authorities.
All these years later, this still cracks me up, every time.
Elder Bednar: I pray that the Spirit conveys the thoughts and words of which I have prepared. In the Spring of 2006, I had the distinct privilege of addressing BYU Idaho Alumni & faculty. It was in the midst of this environment that I received a clear, unmistakable impression to consume a Reese's peanut butter cup. I immediately paused from my key note address and did so. What followed afterward was serendipitous and divinely merciful....the cup afforded me with fortitude; the wrapper imbued me with eternal gratitude....and the melting in the mouth of this extraordinary morsel of chocolate and peanut butter endowed me with spiritual enlightenment as only consistent, steady consumption of peanut butter cups can do. In the end, great spiritual traction culminates as the cup goes from a meager lump of chocolate to an elegant, elaborate conjoining of both chocolate and peanut butter--this parable of the peanut butter cup illustrates how we too can become spiritually metamorphosised.
Oh yeah, that’s quintessential Bednar all right. 😂
You not only captured the voices quite well, but also the style of their talks. I'm not sure which is my favorite, but the way you did Thomas S. Monson's storytelling style is great: "Tommy! Did you know that Sis. Jensen, next door, hasn't eaten a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in yeeeeeaars?!" LOL!
9 yrs later STILL FUNNY! showing this to my teens and laughing so hard I can't breathe 😂
We were told about this video at institute tonight. President Monson has seen it, and we were told he laughed very hard.
Thank you! I'm so glad someone shared the prophet's thoughts on it. The PROPHET knows how to live life. A lot of people seem to have the misunderstanding that we need to be super up-tight and call out every sinful-looking "offense," scribe-and-pharisee style.
also so funny because he impersonates everyone of them perfectly
You believe a random internet person just at face value? ...Wow. Okay well, just as a point anyone can claim anything. What is the likelihood that 1) They saw this video at all and 2) would tell a random institute leader about it?
carlotta4th you’re a random internet person. Now he/she is supposed to believe you at face value? Hey I’m not sure what’s lodged up your backside, but try to loosen up. Life is short. 🤦♂️
You do the Thomas S. Monson voice really well
I plead with you, eat one now.
I know this video is true.
Tim Blood Amen.
This is so spot on hilarious. I love the end with Pres. Monson "close quote"
I'm crying, I'm laughing so hard. This is incredibly genius. You captured their tones and inflections perfectly. Thank you.
Greg, your impersonations are spot on. Thanks for the laugh! Now go say your prayers and ask for forgiveness. ;)
Your impersonations were SO spot on....hahaha You nailed their personalities through how they give their talks!! This was great!! Thank you :D
This NEVER CEASES to make me laugh, each and every one is so spot on.
You are sure nice looking Sharon Anne Hill it sure busted me up the first time I saw this
I'm getting too old for this sort of thing. "Close quote" almost gave me a heart attack. Still gasping and wiping my eyes. Jonathan Winters would be proud!
Rich Little would also get a kick out of this. 🤣🤣
"When I was a tender lad of EIGHT" 2:16
Very. Very. Good. The General Authority all have good senses of humour too. I'm sure they would get a good laugh out of it. :-)
I always remember this before conference comes around, and enjoy rewatching it. A bit bittersweet this time, with the passing of President Packer this summer, and Elder Scott just yesterday, but still a great way to brighten my day. :)
they sure have made their mark on the correct ways to eat reeses

"He who takes offense where none is given is a fool. He who takes offense where offense is given is also a fool"
-Brigham Young
Except no offense was given.
TotalHufflepuff that’s the point
@@HMBRSTN Not really. His point is that offense WAS given (which isn't really the case) and is basically patting himself on the back for not getting offended at this.
@@totalhufflepuff203 well at least we agree no offense was given...and this video is hilarious.
@@sludgepickle exactly
Oh my GOSH! Even the lip smack was dead on!
I got baptized because of this video.
+Keith Olsen are you serious? like this is how you came in contact with the church or...?
+Keith Olsen DO tell...
Seems lit
really is that true Keith Olson well cool
@@katiebell8060 I don t really know what to say except what an interesting and unusual way to come in contact with the church
"Which brings me to a story, about Aviation" XD YES
This is so much better than the real General Conference. My favorites are how you mimic Packer and Oaks. Way too funny. Thanks for creating this masterpiece!
In YEAAARRSSSSS.....
In yeeeeaaarrrrsss
When I was a tender lad of eiiigghhtt! ....
Literally one of the funniest things I’ve ever watched in my life! The various voice intonations, speed, breath pattern, vocabulary, and style were ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! Thank you for helping me laugh so hard that I was genuinely crying so much!
This is honestly one of the funniest imitations of the apostles I've ever seen :) That was spot on, especially Pres. Monson, I loved hearing how they would eat a Reese's Cup.
You really brought in the personality and how they relay talks, *cough cough* Uchtdorf, and brought them to life. Thank you for adding a little humor to our lives and I know that they would get a kick out of this, guarantee it!
I came to comment how I hadn’t seen this video in forever and it is still amazing and found my own comment from 10 years ago.
Loved it then and love it now!
I was busting up when it came to Pres. Monson. Way to go buddy. Not only were the voices great but you really did it with how they spoke! very impressed with your talent!
...But I'm allergic to peanut butter. Is there a spirit of the law to eating peanut butter cups??? I'M ALLERGIC TO THE DOCTRINE.
Just eat a chocolate sandwich, whole grain bread lightly toasted, butter, chocolate chips, melt for just a few seconds in the microwave.
Or enjoy a nutella sandwich. YUMMY YUMMY 😋 😍 😜 😘 😊
PLEASE do another one with today's apostles. It is awesome!
We love this video so much! Please make another one! You are very talented at the voices!
This is (easily) the funniest video I have seen on RUclips.
"Close Quote"
Somebody was listening to the Missionary Meeting!
I shared this with plenty of people today when I first saw it. Instant classic! Very well done. This is something that I'm sure many LDS do to amuse themselves anyway, so I was glad to see it put into a video.
This is brilliant!!! Great job both with impersonating the voices and the way they talk and phrase things! This is fantastic!
Tears where shed, a cup was shared, Lol
HILARIOUS. Spot freaking on. My entire family took turns watching this at fast Sunday dinner today and we couldn't stop laughing. Awesome.
This was amazing, those impressions were fantastic! This video really made me smile :)
I am CRYING. These impressions are so spot on its amazing!!!!
You need to do Elder Holland!
Great impressions! Down to the, "close quote." Hilarious!
Wow! Amazing vocal talent! All of these men would love this, especially President Monson, I believe. Again, fabulous impressions! Thanks for updating this classic email and putting the voices with it. Loved it!
Hands down favorite YT video! I've watched this many times over the years.
Would you consider doing more?
oh, I love that this was done with sweet intentions. you have to have watched many a conference to make this. I loved this. I wish you could do one of me!!!
Super funny. I'm sure the Brethren had a good laugh.
This makes me day every time I see it, I show it to everyone, thank you. Please make more!!
Love this! So good! I wasn't watching the pics just listening & trykng to guess which voices were which...got stuck on Elder Wirthlin because I haven't heard him speak since his passing...a while ago. Totally love all of them! Pres Monson's end quote was right on point. Great stuff.
Oh, man. HILARIOUS. You know it's not sacrilegious when you just love the apostles more for the unique way they each talk!
When are we getting an updated version!?
I've come away inspired and uplifted. What great talks!!! Can't wait until the next general conference.
This is hysterical! I am so glad my husband shared this with me...now I can get to work making today's ward bulletin! Thank you so much for this truly clever and entertaining bit of imagination!
Excellent. Can they show this in the next GC
+Riddec1 Nope, just a bunch of geriatric old men telling you porn, gays, and showing shoulders are bad.
+Bradley Peterson A few of them are already dead now. :)
Best video ever!!!!!!!! I love the Monson one. XD
Kawaiicrafts Thomas S. MONSON had talent for telling great stories and he told some beauties this video is dog gone funny
That was not what I was expecting. I loved it! Your impressions were spot on!
Never gets old! Hahaha
These voices are perfect and the sermons themselves are exactly in character!!!
It's Perfect..Perfect Impersonations. :)
Tyson Bain how about impersonations of U.S. presidents on how to eat a Reese s like J.F.K. Reagan Bush Eisenhower Trump too
Greg! You did this?! You're famous! I saw this video before I knew you! Haha
great video Kira A.
This is amazing! I loved it...
Why did I find it so awesome?
Because doing something where the message is completely secondary but standardized between multiple people helps recognize the speech styles and intricacies of the speakers.
This video made me appreciate each of these mens' approach to life and their distinct voice!
These impersonations are so good! I'm very impressed and amused haha!
That was funny Greg!!!! I read all the comments and they made me laugh.... Some people's underwear is to tight! It's not mocking the presidency! Who doesn't love a Reese's ! I loved how it made them seek so down to earth and like normal human beings. Now if this video was making fun of our beliefs that would be a different story! Personally I know Greg and he's an amazing kind loving guy. What agrarian tool to spread the gospel too!
Celeste Stone I busted up so hard when I first saw this video
I am dead. Cause of Death: Too funny
Oh what you said just breaks me up Collin Dorsett
Every other year or so I come back to this video and die laughing every time! PLEASE make an updated version!!😂😂😂
These impressions were almost spot on! Nice job! :)
The 515 people who disliked this video have no souls.
Apostates.
They have no sense of humor, either.
president monson was the best
The best part is how you've incorporated the "lip smack" pause that often happens with some of the older GA's. Funniest thing I've seen in a long time!
One of my favorite videos of all time.
I love it! Try to do Elder Holland! #ThatWouldBeAChallenge :D
“The morning breaks; the shadows flee;. Lo, my Reese's wrapper is unfurled!" -- (A bad version of Elder McConkie).
Through the years young Elders have used such deliveries as their own sort of Memes. We all use cultural 'pull quotes' to liven things up and create a sort of communal belonging. By warmly using these we all share the same image of a much larger subject. If I use just one word, "Mawrrage", almost everyone here will recognize it and start to chuckle.
On the other hand, familiarity breeds contempt.
By becoming overly casual the line over which mocking may be crossed. Youth speakers particularly find themselves in this situation constantly; connecting with youth can lead to mocking.
I for one don't think this crosses any line, but it could encourage others to one-up Greg. That's the way life has always been.
In the end, we all decide for ourselves.
Hilarious! Great job on the voices and the dialogue, too -- keep up the great work!
Best Video I have seen in a longtime!! Well Done
Ppl need to get over themselves I work in SLC and see the brethren at least once a week, if they are in town,
They thought this was very funny,
Remember poking fun at the way a person speaks or the inflection of there voice is not sacreligus,
Rather making fun of there words is,
I love how everyone is justifying this video as "sin or no sin." It's all fun and games til we meet our Heavenly Father on judgment day :D
I couldn't have said it better myself! That's completely how I feel. Also you're hot so that helps haha (;
Ha ha ha thanks I guess :)
Anthony F. You guess!? No no...you should just say thank you (:
Awesome! You captured their personalities wonderfully!
These impressions were so funny! I think the topic makes for a very funny and harmless representation of these holy men. Well done.
I make no lie when I say. I am a huge Anti-Mormon . And watch BYUTV regularly. And all of the LDS leaders in this video are very familiar to me. What you Mormons lack in truth. You make up in your sense of humor. I will give you Mormons credit for that. The voice impersonations was spot on . And a very funny video.
Exactly ! That was not so hard to figure out . Now was it ? =)
Thanks. I enjoy exposing racism in the LDS cult .
+Purple Longhorn What's wrong with racism? Why is the Church a "cult"?
Brady Garrett What is wrong with racism ?
+Purple Longhorn Yes; what is wrong with racism? How does one belief disprove or discredit all others?
Okay, you have over 1 million views!! Wow!! So that means you've gotta add some of the newer apostles to the mix OR make an entirely new one with a diff candy/or joke.
You really sounded so much like them too!! That Pres. Monson one was AMAZING!!!
You are GOOD!
This may have been 9 years ago, but it’s still gold! Lol hilarious!
Greg, you did all the voices sir?! That was simply fantastic, especially the impressions of Elders Packer and Scott, and President Monson!!!
And to everyone worried about sacrilege; by definition, it is irreverence towards that which is sacred. Greg hasn't taken a sacred topic and blasphemed it, he is simply sharing his talent of mimicking voices. He took a general topic to do it with, and even more amazing, talked about said topic after the mannerisms of those portrayed, and did so w/ respect.
Never fails. Please make another
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 PLEASE MAKE AN UPDATED VERSION OF THIS! It so good and I want to share it with my grandkids!! ❤
why do you worship cult leaders of Mormonism?
Not only are the voice impressions and inflections marvelous, the real genius of this is THE SCRIPT! Every one of these apostles has a typical theme that they frequently speak about, or stories that repeated. To incorporate these themes around consumption of a candy is, I repeat, GENIUS. So funny....on so many levels. LOL!!!
I just wanted to take a moment and say these impersonations are spot on. I literally was laughing out loud. "in yeeaaaaaaaarrrrrrrs". You are very good at this and have a real talent. *Subscribe*
Awesome work! You nailed them! Think I'll share the link in our bulletin tomorrow...if we can't laugh at ourselves, why laugh at all?
Thank you for this. I haven't laughed this hard in a while. Great impressions
We need an updated version!!!
We need an updated version of this please!!
Oh my gosh! You got the voices and their little quirks perfectly! That is awesome. XD
Spot on! Please make more!
I am officially a fan, Greg! And I'm not even joking--let me know how I can book another live performance!!! ;)
LOL, this is so funny. I can't wait til they all get a look at this and mention it on next General Conference. I love the voice impressions!!!
brilliant...you should make more episodes
Love the video man. Well done.
I can't believe you posted it hahahha!! You're so good at it!! :)
This is genius! I am sure that even the brethren would see the humor in this. Well done dude! Really clever.
