Tom Segura Parodies Garth Brooks Kidnapping Fans In Trailer For New Comedy Series ‘Bad Thoughts’
Tom Segura will simply not let up.
It looks like the comedian’s newest project will only add fuel to the “where are the bodies Garth” fire. You might be lost on the whole thing, so if you need an in-depth explanation about it, I would click on the link above. If you are okay with a short refresher, stick with me here.
The whole joke that Tom Segura cooked up and directed at the 2-time Grammy winner stems from a video that Garth Brooks released back in 2018 promoting his Stadium Tour (he wanted to call it the Big-Ass Stadium Tour). If you happened to miss it, just notice the country music legend’s cold, dead eyes throughout the announcement and stick around for the end where he weirdly says he really likes “getting physical playing music.”

And of course, the other video that gave Tom endless material was Garth’s Welcome to Facebook video from way back in 2014. Shot from a dimly lit hotel room, it’s given us iconic phrases such as “I like that,” “slick stuff, neat stuff, raw stuff,” “think of it as a conversation” and “let the conversation begin.”

Leave it to Garth to use social media but still not have his music streaming anywhere but Amazon Music…
Segura and his wife, fellow comedian Christina Pazsitzky (hosts of the Your Mom’s House podcast) stumbled upon the bizarre announcement video for Garth’s Stadium Tour back in 2018, as well as the Facebook video, and they absolutely ran with the “this guy might be a serial killer” joke. Loyal followers of Segura and Pazsitzky followed the lead of the two comedians and then started bombarding any social media posts of Brooks’ with comments asking:
“Where are the bodies Garth?”
Needless to say, because of that, Garth Brooks has been confirmed to not like Tom Segura, and understandably so. The country star often has to turn off the comments section on his social media posts… which just makes the people behind Tom Segura’s “Where are the bodies?” movement that much more suspicious.
And if Garth didn’t like the weird rumors that Segura started up, he’s certainly not going to be a fan of the comedian’s new Netflix show Bad Thoughts.
The new series is set to debut on May 13, and according to the description, the comedy series “centers on Segura, who also serves as the show’s narrator, as he takes us through each episode in a series of vignettes. The twisted comedic sensibility of Tom’s stand-up is the core DNA of this series, where every story will unfold in a hilariously disturbing way only he could imagine.”
There appears to be an entire section of the show dedicated to Tom Segura playing a twisted, psychopathic Garth-Brooks-type who kidnaps his fans.
One of the earliest teasers for the show even featured Segura – wearing the exact garb that Garth has made famous across all of his years of country music stardom – saying “I like that.” And that’s pulled word for word from Brooks’ vocabulary, so there’s no question that this series will be poking fun at the “Friends in Low Places” singer.
And the newest trailer gave a little bit more insight into the Garth-Brooks-type character that Segura will be playing. You can hear Segura as the “country music star” explaining who he is, and even talking in the third person like Garth has sometimes been known to do:
“I’m a global country superstar who’s lost his mojo. So he decided to kidnap his fans and force them to live in a poor people town. Make them share their deepest darkest traumas so I can put it into hit songs.”

The voice over for the trailer also features a nod to Garth’s 2014 “Welcome to Facebook” video.
The whole show seems like a demented, bizarre experience… and I can almost guarantee you that Garth Brooks won’t be “liking that.” I’d say that Tom Segura’s loyal fanbase will eat it up, and country music fans who have been amused by the Segura-Brooks rivalry just might be intrigued enough to give it a shot. If I was G, I’d fully lean into it, make a cameo appearance and take complete ownership of the joke. Do you know how funny it would be for Garth Brooks himself to actually show up in this? Fans would lose their minds in the best possible way for both Tom and Garth.
If it’s not to late Tommy, make the call, extend the olive branch, and maybe promise to never make fun of Garth again if he does it… and G… say yes.
