Tom Segura Unleashes Garth Brooks Parody In New Netflix Series ‘Bad Thoughts,’ & It’s Pure, Dystopian, Unhinged Hilarity

I simply can’t believe that in 2025, we got a Tom Segura project that may only exist so that he could poke fun at country music superstar Garth Brooks. Segura’s newest project, Bad Thoughts, only adds 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. 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.” Take a look: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Garth Brooks (@garthbrooks) 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.” Garth Brooks’ welcome to Facebook video. pic.twitter.com/sBIq8lX2j5 — Tandem Felix (@FelixTandem) July 30, 2020 Believe it or not, those two videos sparked an entire movement (and a subsequent Netflix show). 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 in Segura’s latest entrant into the Garth-Tom rivalry, he took the somewhat playful jokes about Brooks being a serial killer and ran absolutely wild with it. In his new Netflix show, a six episode series that is made up of different skits from “Segura’s dark mind,” two portions of the project are dedicated to a character that’s a psychotic country global superstar named Rex Henley. Segura plays the man who is 110% based on Garth Brooks, and the story starts with Henley facing backlash for releasing a song called “Rich Guy Advice.” Segura even got Jimmy Kimmel, Joe Rogan, and The Daily Show to get in on the fun and provide fake commentary on the fictional character’s ill-advised song choice. The scene then cuts to Garth Brooks Rex Henley making an announcement to his fans via social media that he heard the backlash to “Rich Guy Advice.” As he’s fighting back tears (typical Garth behavior), he makes this promise, and pulls a line straight from Brooks’ lexicon: “The next time you hear a Rex Henley song, you’re gonna get touched… in a way that you’ve never been touched before. And I like that. I really like that.” This is where things get incredibly unhinged and dystopian. Viewers then meet a Rex Henley super fan (called a “Hen Hound”) who was kidnapped while attending a concert and brought to a fake town that Rex Henley had built – fit with, for some reason, Korean guards. Other kidnapped fans are on their hands and knees, waiting for the country music superstar to show up for a “jam session” where Henley can pull painful moments from their lives to inspire hit songs. Personally, my favorite part of the project is getting to hear some of the fake country music songs that I’m assuming Tom Segura penned. This one plays as the credits roll on the first portion of the disturbing Rex Henley story: “Big trucks, cold beer Stars and Stripes still fly around here Fast cars, hitchin’ bass Country music and kickin’ a**.” Sounds more like something out of Wheeler Walker Jr.’s catalogue, but I digress. The second, somehow-even-more-deranged portion of the Rex Henley story picks up with that very super fan sitting across the table from Rex Henley, who is now specifically asking for her advice on how to come up with hit music. Long story short, she escapes and eventually makes it to a nearby police station, where she tells the authorities that Rex Henley is kidnapping fans, torturing them, and then burying their bodies. She literally told the cops where the bodies were… which couldn’t be more on the nose when it comes to the endless “Where are the bodies?” jokes. The final twist comes in the form of Rex Henley being the town’s sheriff, who comes strolling in to show that the police are working for him. He then insists that his super fan named Shelly help him write one more hit song about love, loss, and letting go. Shelly convinces him that she wouldn’t be the right inspiration for a song like that, and suggested he write it about someone he knows on a deeper level. So Henley kills his Korean body guard, Byung Sung, and then a year later, releases a country album entirely in Korean that becomes a hit record. Needless to say, something weird like that (creating an entire album in a different language, not killing someone) is something that’s right up Garth’s alley. It even shows Segura as Rex Henley performing a song in Korean, which goes like this: “Nothing like the feeling of a heartbreak, Nothing like the feeling of a loss, Nothing like the feeling of a friendship, Nothing like the feeling of losing it all.” And since it’s the last installment of the Rex Henley saga (at least for now), the outro included some “where are they now” updates like you would see at the end of a movie or documentary. Did they poke fun at Garth Brooks? You better believe it, and once again brought up the bodies joke: “Rex Henley went on to murder another 3,428 fans. No bodies have been found and he has never been held accountable.” Watching it all, you almost wonder if Tom Segura really has some beef with Garth Brooks at this point. All of the jokes were one thing, but this Netflix show – albeit only the two parts of it that focus on this Rex Henley character – really went after Brooks and the joke around him that he’s a serial killer. Who else other than Segura would take a bit this far? If Garth Brooks was hoping that Tom Segura would let up with the “Where are the bodies?” stuff, this latest venture goes to show that the comedian might just be getting started.
