The Origins of the Theory

The theory seems to have started with a TikTok video analyzing Segura’s comedy specials taking place in Austin, specifically after he moved there in late 2021. The video pointed out his frequent references to dark humor and murder. The user connected these dots to recent mysterious disappearances around Lady Bird Lake. The user also sounds mysteriously like Garth Brooks...

Key “Evidence” Presented by TikTokers

1. Dark Humor as Confession?
   Segura is known for his dark, sometimes morbid sense of humor. Some TikTok users argue that his jokes about murder and crime aren't just for laughs, they're confessions. Maybe Tom making claims about Garth Brooks being a serial killer are really just Segura projecting his guilt!!!
2. Moved to Austin in Late 2021
   Segura moved to Austin in late 2021, shortly before the disappearances began. Since then, 12 men have gone missing around Lady Bird Lake. The theory suggests that his move and the timeline of these disappearances are too coincidental to ignore. Don't even get us started on the amount of people who went missing before then. Explain that, science!!
3. Declining Show Sales and Podcast Listeners
   Recently, Segura's show sales have been declining, and the number of listeners to his podcast, Your Mom’s House, has decreased. Observers have noted that Segura appears visibly frustrated and angry in his podcast episodes, which some interpret as signs of deeper issues that could be connected to the mysterious disappearances. Although that's basically how Tom Segura acts all the time, so maybe this isn't related whatsoever. But you cant rule anything out if you want to be an internet sleuth!!

Bad Thoughts: A Window into the Mind

Tom Segura's latest venture, Bad Thoughts, is a six-episode sketch comedy series that delves into scenarios many might consider best left unexplored. The series presents a collection of vignettes that traverse themes ranging from the unsettling to the outright bizarre. One sketch features a global country music star who, in a quest for inspiration, kidnaps fans and compels them to share personal traumas to fuel his songwriting. Which is definitely more a reflection on Tom and not a reference to the joke he made about Garth Brooks being a serial killer. Deflection, much?

Critics have noted the show's commitment to pushing boundaries. The Los Angeles Times described it as a "fever dream" of dark comedy, highlighting its unhinged and twisted narratives. Such descriptions suggest that the series offers a unique viewing experience, one that challenges conventional comedic norms.

For some, Bad Thoughts has become more than a sketch show...it’s a case study. Online theorists have pointed to its recurring themes of abduction, manipulation, and violence as creative choices that feel, to them, curiously pointed. The tone of the show, paired with Segura’s familiar emotional detachment, has only added to the speculation. While most see it as artistic exaggeration, a small but vocal group views it as something closer to documentation—an unsettling overlap between fiction and possibility.

Conclusion

For now, it seems that Tom Segura’s alleged double life remains firmly in the realm of internet folklore. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that TikTok never fails to keep us entertained, and occasionally, a little paranoid.

So, what do you think? Is Tom Segura just a funny guy with a dark sense of humor, or is there something more sinister lurking behind those jokes? Or maybe, just maybe, this theory was put out by Garth Brooks' team in retaliation for Segura accusing Garth of being a serial killer! Let us know in the comments! (this article is a joke)
