Garth Brooks isn't a Serial Killer: Confirmation Bias in Action

This meme reminds me of the Brazilian meme that TV host Celso Portiolli didn't have anything to do with 9/11, obviously, he's totally inocent, why would you think that?

I had an autistic student in a class I taught who dealt with being called a school shooter and other things along those lines. So nasty. Also its so funny to see them trying to ask a famous boomer about social media as if he'd ever look at it

So since he plays large venues in large towns wet the population dictate more crime.. more murders, thus je as there he must be tied to it yet MAGA logic...

ive been watching Your Moms House for years...... and it is HILLARIOUS that people are now starting to cover the whole "garth is a murderer" thing, and that some are starting to take it seriously....... its defiantly the joke that keeps on giving.

the counter conspiracy theory/joke that Tom Segura is a murderer, is also hilarious.

as an autistic person who has killed a lot of people, I am very much offended by this theory

Garth got to you, didn't he ... :(

Brooks is a downright leftist in the world he inhabits.
I confess I have no hard evidence, but it makes sense right-wingers would be eager to whisper innuendo and accusations against him.

well… all of this sucked (not the video just yk the everything you talked about in it)

Guys please --- I can only Like so many Chris Gaines comments! Give my thumb a break!

Another example of social media enriching our lives.

Is this the same as the Tom Hanks conspiracy theory?

To be fair, Tom never said that he wasn't a serial killer when accusing Garth of the same. Perhaps game recognize game

I have one question for garth... where are the bodies? The families need closure.

comedians are...pretty damn lame these days. it's sad.

Garth Brooks's answer to that question was better than the question.

me: " CLEAN YOUR SCREEEEEEN!!!"

Gareth Brooks is a serial killer to musical taste.

I love the happy sound at the end of your videos!

You didn’t know Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer were two different people? That’s…wow. It’s wild to me how many people have successful YT channels commenting on pop culture but who have absolutely atrocious pop culture awareness. But you’re not the only one. It’s disturbingly common, unfortunately. Anyway, just toss this vid onto the pile of “I had no clue until I looked into it for five minutes and now I have an opinion!” pieces lol.

For someone who said that we should let the legal process run it's course, you certainly have a lot of shitty little comments to make about someone with which you offer little proof. Don't become the thing you say you're against.

Floof Butt!!

Remember: if you don't comment on ridiculous conspiracy theory accusations of being a serial killer, it means you're a serial killer.
But if you respond by denying you're a serial killer, you're saying exactly what a serial killer would say.
If you're calm or unemotional when accused (because why should you get worked up over nonsense) it means you're guilty.
But if you respond emotionally (because it's upsetting to get accused of nonsense you can't really defend yourself from) you're just acting to try to hide something, so you're guilty.

Your version of calculus: Garth being dragged through mud, say his name out loud, it’s all good etc. He wants The woman to remain anonymous until she publicizes his name, then decides that if she is going to accuse him, she should have her name out there too. But she is through the mud.

I have no idea who is guilty or innocent, who is telling the truth and who is lying. But I do believe in reciprocity. I believe that if we are going to talk about him by name, then we should speak of his accuser by name too.

it is absolutely astounding to me how unfunny tom segura and brett krushner are. I've watched their entire comedy sets with a blank look of disgust and confusion on my face the entire time that anyone could possibly find anything that is happening funny in any way. So, as a surrealist sort of parody of bad comedy, I find them both entertaining in the same way a psychological horror movie is entertaining.

Well, it doesn't appear to be on the Spurious Correlations website, so there's that.

Segura is way more believable as the guy positing that someone is a serial killer who is actually the serial killer, like the “elaboration of a bad lie.”

I have always been a fan of Garth Brooks.

Allistics just really, really, really, really, really hate autistic people.

anyone who sincerely, unironically thinks there's enough time to murder a person every few nights and cover your tracks for decades while actively touring at Brooks's level is too stupid to give any credibility to lmao

I usually don’t listen to this sort of thing but your reporting is always very deep and insightful 😊

I appreciate @captainlog comment. Seems like I heard Garth was an open minded cool guy. I stopped listening or watching the Segura podcast because of stuff like the Garth accusation. I don’t think making a joke about hundreds of dead bodies is funny. And for the record I’m a huge comedy fan and against the far left woke stuff despite being a liberal. Segura should have come out and debunked the conspiracy when it got out of control. He’s just probably just too egotistical.

I'm sorry it to much of a coincidence people go missing around his tour, it's to weird needs looked into!

Where are the bodies Garth? Think about all the mommies out there that need closure.

its his fault but honestly those two sound like any stupid asshole you could meet here. and the only time this was funny was Ted Cruz being the zodiac killer

Welcome to the Tom Segura is not a nice person arc.

Tom segura is an idiot because a child climate would prevent blood from polling in the body and make determining time of death more difficult

Here's the thing. The rumors, which were confirmed, about Ellen Degeneres started on industry podcasts in the late 2000s. Podcasts for personal and production assistants. Several of these people were sued into silence, but these rumors still persisted. Then the floodgates opened and people saw the real Ellen.

My point is that people in the industry know all the dirty little secrets of celebrities, but they don't want to be sued for telling the truth.

I consistently see non-comedians post about what these comedians say in podcasts fully believing it’s true and it’s literally always a throwaway sarcastic comment. And sorry, nothing they said was intended to be laugh out loud hilarious. Most comedians who do podcast in particular are really just saying whatever comes to mind no matter how fucked up because, truly, that’s just something comics do off stage. It’s not that deep.

I'll swear I heard a song in the past few weeks with this title, but not finding it now for some reason . . . Edit: It was "Garth Brooks Didn't Kill and Eat a Baby," but close enough, yeah?

This is so disgusting. Those two dimwit girls - jeez.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc is always useful to remember.

Why the pre-amble with the lawsuit that hasn't been resolved yet? And deciding to name one party and not the other? Seems like a double standard Rebecca.

I hate that we diagnose everyone with mild autism. Can we just agree that most people are a little bit weird and the idea of neurotypical is a bit less straightforward than we assumed.


Also I don't think Garth Brooks is neuro- atypical, I think he's old. He's been rich for at least as long as I've been alive. Expecting a 60+ yo to 'get' social media is ridiculous.

Check out “lion meows”

Tom probably is a serial killer though

"To be fair" (Letterkenny) it's a fricken funny rumor

OMG, every time someone was killed on planet Earth, I WAS ON THE SAME PLANET. I'm SO sorry, I had no idea, I must have been in a blackout. Please forgive me.
