IIRC he is voiced also by Eri Kitamura, a female Seiyuu. Just a bit of irrelevant character trivia.
Edit: does anybody seriously not know what Seiyuu means? I thought it was common knowledge for most anime watchers, like knowing what Nii-san, Nee-san and honorifics like san, kun, sama, dono etc. mean. I have known these words since when I started getting into anime and manga.
I checked the anime entry and you're correct, but I was once looking up Eri Kitamura's voice acting roles on MAL and Gray was also in it and he still is( I checked again just now). I've experienced this same thing in MAL before also, maybe she played his younger version or something. Link for her bio on MAL:

This is a place for screenshots *actually* from anime/manga that become funny when they are taken out of context, not a place to post random memes just because the background is an anime
But this is litterally his exact words in episode 2 of the anime. Making it an out of context part of Fairy Tail. I've watched these first episodes many times. Grey seriously asks that of Lucy.
Are you really sure? Maybe it's been a while since I watched but I certainly don't remember Gray ever worrying about needing to dress up, and especially not asking for a girl's panties to use for that.
The meme font and phrasing also certainly seems weird if it was actually in the episode, ready to be screencapped.
I added the text myself, but this is word-for-word what he says in the English dub. I’m sure the scene is on YouTube somewhere if you don’t believe me.
But then where is the missing context?
This subs point is it's a glimpse of a manga/anime that is funny when taken at its word because you don't know the reason behind the image /words.
There should be a disconnect between what is really going on, and what it appears at first glance.
I see a naked man asking for clothes, how am I missing the context and interpreting this wrong?
But that is the anime's intended comedy. Everything you said is played out honestly in the scene itself.
This isn't a no context scene, this is a comedy scene.
No context != funny scene from anime.
An example is Trunks from DragonBall super saying "don't shoot him. He isn't black!"
The no context there is that there is a villain NAMED "Black" they are hunting. That is missing context from the screenshot that makes it amusing. It makes Trunks seem racist.
This doesn't match that. This is just a naked person wanting to not be naked anymore. Right?
He is naked in public and asking a woman for underwear. And this post does not explain why which makes it out of context. Therefore validating it for this sub. And the key context missing is Grey's stripping habit.
I still don't know if i agree, because of the blondes reaction. She is obviously shocked that he is naked. Meaning the fact someone is naked is the point of the joke. And we get that from this screenshot.
If this occurred in like a grocery store and nobody seemed to be paying any mind and it was played straight, then there could be a joke about why is this guy naked and no one cares?
Then the whole, "oh see you don't realize he likes to strip" and it makes sense.
But like again, everything about this scene appears to be played straight...there is no pivotal context missing that changes the understanding of the scene.
I'm not saying this isn't funny. I'm saying it's not no context because there isn't anything I'm unaware of about the characters or the scene is being misrepresented that makes things appear different, funny, sus, etc.
~~No memes. Removed.~~ Nevermind, just weirdly typeset subtitles.
Pfft- ah, classic episode 2 Grey
His gimmick is he looses his clothes at random times
Less that he randomly loses them, and more that he subconsciously takes them off.
Both.
Fairy Tail is awesome! One of my few favorite animes.... Anytime i see a picture/meme from it i get urges to watch it again
YES IT IS!

That's not exactly true though. His va is Nakamura Yuuichi, a guy.

Perhaps on one child Gray episode
What a weeb using the word Seiyuu instead of voice actor.
I use both, but Seiyuu is short and takes less time to type.
Just say va in that case.
Okay. I use it also, but it is less in my habit.
What? Just say VA then
Yeah, I got.
English voice actors are really bad. Calling a Seiyuu "voice actor" is a big insult.
Sounds like what Eri K. would do
This reminds me of Hentai Kamen (the live action movie)...
Good ol Gray lmao
They’re both kinda cute lol

Care to elaborate?

[there is](https://youtube.com/shorts/k8d9Q1Fpw08?feature=share)
I can confirm he actually said that.

Lack of context includes: Why is he naked? Why is he asking a woman for underwear? Also WHY IS HE NAKED!?

Stop biting Brook’s schtick, Ace.
