Comedian Tom Segura Clowns on Garth Brooks in New Series

If you’ve ever interfaced with almost anything involving Garth Brooks on the internet over the last few years, you’ve probably noticed all of the “Where are all the bodies Garth?” comments and other weird trolling, no matter the context.
The origination point for the, “Where are the bodies Garth?” trolling is comedian Tom Segura, and his wife and fellow comedian Christina P. The two have a podcast together called Your Mom’s House. Garth Brooks—and what they perceive as his fake persona—have been a favorite topic of theirs for years, going back at least to 2018. In fact, the duo has found such traction with the topic, it’s been one of the prevailing themes of the podcast.
In 2018, as Garth Brooks was previewing his big stadium tour, the duo mercilessly lit into Garth for his transparent everyman shtick, and for being super awkward on social media as an artist that came up without it, and transitioned into it later in life. But it was on their November 28th, 2018 episode of Your Mom’s House (#476) with Fahim Anwar that Tom Segura first alluded that he (jokingly) thought that maybe Garth Books was a serial killer.
At this point, the whole “Where are the bodies Garth?” comments have been used for so long, they’ve grown pretty stale. But Tom Segura is about to see how much more life his Garth Brooks trolling has left as he’s set to portray a very Garth-like character in an upcoming Netflix series called Bad Thoughts. The multi-episode sketch comedy series is set to debut on May 13th.
In each of the six episodes, Tom Segura is said to portray a dark character in “unthinkable situations and fantasies.” One such character is a “global country music superstar” who kidnaps his own fans, and forces them into depressing situations to help inspire him to write new hit songs. If Segura’s duds and beard aren’t a dead giveaway of who he’s aping, his long storied history razzing on Garth Brooks does.
In the trailer, Segura even says, “Ooh, I like that,” which is one of the things the comedian loves to hoot on Garth for.
The one-sided Tom Segura/Garth Brooks feud has been raging for years, referenced many times, and if anything, has worn out its welcome at this point. For Garth’s part, he generally ignores it, whether from being impervious, or simply unable to laugh at himself. But this will be the first time Tom Segura takes the joke to a cinematic medium, and a literal interpretation.
This could be fun.

I admit the concept of kidnapping fans and doing awful things to them for inspiration for songs is a funny idea for a B-movie horror flick. However Tom Segura and his ilk (Bert Kreischer, Ari Shaffir,) are annoying and insufferable as comedians.
How is Garth supposed to laugh at himself for constant half-joking accusations that he is a serial murderer?
May 1, 2025 @ 10:42 pm
The window of opportunity for Garth to laugh at him self passed a very, very long time ago. He’s officially the butt of the joke.

This is why you Tom Segura and Bert Kreisher fans are retarded. There is no joke. It was widest stretch of a conspiracy theory inference that was continually repeated in attempts to get a rise out of an A-list Country star.

Just because you don’t get it doesn’t mean it’s not a joke. Clearly it is. It’s ridiculous, not “half serious.” I agree the joke wore out its welcome years ago. But I never thought it was anything buy a joke, sort of like how Sturgill Simpson is in the CIA.
May 2, 2025 @ 7:01 am
I understand the “joke.” It’s just not a joke by definition. It’s trolling. It’s stupid to think Garth should respond or acknowledge what is quite clearly a desperate and mean-spirited attempt to get his attention.
May 2, 2025 @ 9:18 pm
One could try taking it with a grain of salt, laughing along, or just dismissing it as part of being that famous. To get annoyed, claim that Bert and Tom aren’t even funny, is just being a poor sport or even worse. Maybe you should go tell the manager.

Where is all the talent, Tom?
May 1, 2025 @ 8:43 am
Allegedly when Tom broke his leg playing basketball Garth watched the video several times. There for a while Garth’s team was deleting comments and blocking users who posted about it so I wouldn’t say he hasn’t been paying attention to it, just not publicly

It feels like this show is going to be either 100% amazing or 100% awful. And I have no idea which it will be.
May 1, 2025 @ 10:44 am
It’s a Netflix original, the percent they “hit on” has continued to decline.
Feels like for every “I Think You Should Leave” there are 10 or more misses.
May 1, 2025 @ 9:44 am
Looks like a big heaping pile of trash. Next.

Tom Segura is NOT funny.
May 1, 2025 @ 1:27 pm
He’s not. He also makes fun of his podcast listeners and refers to them as “Poors” if they critisize his bragging about his wealth. It’s laughable how so many of them have their own podcasts and pat themselves on the back for being comedians. Some comedians are very good on the podcast format with riffing and conversation and being funny like Theo Von and Bill Burr. I still listen to Opie and Anthony shows when Patrice O’ Neal was on. This modern brand of “Joe Rogan Sphere” comedy is terrible. (Notable exceptions are Mark Normand and Theo Von)

Couldn’t agree more with everything you wrote.
Patrice was one of the greats imo.

I’m sure there’s no way he’s joking. I mean he’s just a comedian, it’s not like joking is his only job in life, right?
May 1, 2025 @ 5:39 pm
Trolling and joking are not the same thing. A good joke has an element of truth that is framed in a way to build some kind of suspense or suprise to illicit laughter. Trolling is holding a disingeneous position to cause a reaction.
May 1, 2025 @ 3:42 pm
This makes my blood boil.
May 2, 2025 @ 10:54 am
Aww be angry for the egotistical millionaire that don’t like a joke about him🤣🤣
But Garth has Trisha to comfort him even though you wish it was you.
May 1, 2025 @ 9:17 pm
I love G. Grew up on him. And I love Tom. I never miss a YMH episode. One of my favorite comedians. I was overjoyed when their paths crossed. I’m very much looking forward to this coming out.
I like that
May 1, 2025 @ 10:55 pm
Im the same, Love Garth, and am so looking forward to this.
May 1, 2025 @ 10:52 pm
I love Garth to death, favourite artist of my life time, most garth fans wont be watching this, but I will be, I kinda wished Garth would’ve had a cute back and forth with Tom. Anything that puts Garth references on streaming services is going to be great with me. Maybe Garth will see the funny side when this airs. I hope so.

Accusations of being a serial killer are funny?
May 2, 2025 @ 10:27 am
Frankly, nothing surprises me these days.
May 2, 2025 @ 10:56 am
Long as it ain’t true who gives a fu** besides morality internet soldiers like you
May 2, 2025 @ 7:14 pm
Segura can say whatever he wants but someone hoping the accused would find it funny and worth engaging is whistling in the dark.

A good example of a celebrity choosing to react to a comedian’s repeated joke about them is Chuck Norris with the “Walker Texas Ranger Lever.” Conan would pull the lever at random times during the show and play an awkward or ridiculous clip from that show. On one show Chuck Norris showed up in person when Conan pulled the lever. It’s the best example I can think of where a celebrity took a repeated joke very well. There difference here is that Chuck Norris obviously starred on Walker Texas Ranger so there is the reason why he would laugh at himself. It was never mean-spirited. That is another big difference.
Tom Segura is taking a page out of Tom Green’s playbook with this stunt.

Garth had that fake “Chris Gaines” persona and my buddy Jamie Logsdon says he stole his act from Kiss . (Plus,well,who’d believe “Cowboy Garth?” Cowboy Brady,yes,but Cowboy Garth,not so much).
May 2, 2025 @ 9:38 am
By strait’s definition of a”troll”, these strait’s comments makes the writer a classic case of a troll for the “Chris Gaines” story from 2018 or whenever—-‘conspiracy theory to get a rise out of an A-list country singer’ is a joke? Nonsense! that “Saturday Night Live” episode still makes my blood boil in anger and disbelief of the “Chris Gaines” persona taunting a meek and harmless A-list country singer who was mourning the death of his beloved beautiful daughter in a car accident. God will get you for this atrocity yet “Chris Gaines”. No disguises can hide your sins even after all these years without genuine atonement to the wronged A-list country singer. We are all still watching you.

RFK really needs to get to work on lowering the price of meds
May 2, 2025 @ 10:17 am
To quote one of your 90’s hits; you can lead a heart to love, but you can’t make it fall.
I’m sorry, Georgie, but lowering the price won’t help, I’m afraid.
Looking forward to see ya in Philly next Saturday! Give Norma a big hug from me!

Ahahahaha strait. None of the commenters above seem to know what you’re talking about so there; we’re even. Better luck next time.
