At this level, the entire “The place are the our bodies Garth?” factor has been used for therefore lengthy, it’s grown fairly stale. However Tom Segura determined to take the joke to its final conclusion by portraying a really Garth-like character within the short-run Netflix comedy collection referred to as Unhealthy Ideas that debuted on Might thirteenth.
By means of the six episodes, Tom Segura portrays a number of darkish characters in “unthinkable conditions and fantasies.” One such character is a “world nation music celebrity” who kidnaps his personal followers, and forces them to reside with little meals in an outdated Western-like city to assist encourage him to write down new hit songs.
