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

"If you are unsure of how to eat a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, ask the missionaries. They can help you." - Elder Nelson

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. 😂

All these years later, this still cracks me up, every time.

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!

"She hadn't had a Reese's cup...in years."

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!

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.

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.

Tears where shed, a cup was shared, Lol

This is (easily) the funniest video I have seen on KZread.

The man behind these impersonations deserves 10,000 high fives.

This is brilliant!!! Great job both with impersonating the voices and the way they talk and phrase things! This is fantastic!

HILARIOUS. Spot freaking on. My entire family took turns watching this at fast Sunday dinner today and we couldn't stop laughing. Awesome.

Oh, man. HILARIOUS. You know it's not sacrilegious when you just love the apostles more for the unique way they each talk!

Every other year or so I come back to this video and die laughing every time! PLEASE make an updated version!!😂😂😂

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!!!

You need to do Elder Holland!

Super funny. I'm sure the Brethren had a good laugh.

There is a huge difference between making fun and having fun. I believe we're having fun here.

Hands down favorite YT video! I've watched this many times over the years. Would you consider doing more?

Great impressions! Down to the, "close quote." Hilarious!

When are we getting an updated version!?

This is genius! I hope the brethren get a chance to see this and I hope that no one freaks out too much because this brother has a talent and he is sharing it in such a wonderful way. "..men are that they might have joy."

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

“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.

These impressions were so funny! I think the topic makes for a very funny and harmless representation of these holy men. Well done.

These impersonations are so good! I'm very impressed and amused haha!

There is no derision involved. Mocking and parody are two different animals. The majority of the people enjoying this do so with appreciation, fondness and affection for each General Authority's individuality. And I can tell you these guys have a sense of humor themselves and most, if not all, are going to find this extremely funny!

I love it! Try to do Elder Holland! #ThatWouldBeAChallenge :D

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'm Thomas S. Monson's grandson and I showed him this. He absolutely loved it. He even texted it to Boyd K. Packer (who is my Uncle-in-Law, btw), and he got a kick out of it, too. Well, my third cousin is here to pick me up so I gotta go, but I'm going to show him this video too and see what he thinks. His name is Richard G. Scott.

"But Tommy, didn't you know Sister Jenson next door hasn't eaten a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup...in years". ROTFLOL Those were very funny!

That was hilarious. Extremely well done. From the desert news: President Gordon B. Hinckley was serious about humor. "We need to have a little humor in our lives," he said in a Church News interview in September 1995. "We better take seriously that which should be taken seriously, but at the same time we can bring in a touch of humor now and again. If the time ever comes when we can't smile at ourselves, it will be a sad time."

This person has obviously watched a lot of conference talks. To get the inflection of their voices, their speech patterns and word choices so spot on was fantastic!! The General Authorities tease each other and tell stories about each other during conference talks sometimes. It's all in good fun.

Half of his impressions actually taught you a valuable lesson that the corresponding apostle is known for... he just did so through the use of a single object, a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup.

When will we get a new one of these ? Lots of new Quorum Members to give their take on Reese’s peanut butter cups
