Bad Thoughts – Season 1 Episode 5

Published: May 21 2025

The episode kicks off with Tom Segura, portrayed by none other than Tom Segura himself, engaging in a conversation with Jose, an air traffic controller played by Arturo Castro, as he attempts to navigate a plane to a safe landing. The interaction proceeds smoothly until Jose discovers he's chatting with the renowned comedian. Jose then launches into a heartfelt anecdote about his brother who has Down syndrome. Tom, realizing his words may have been misconstrued, tries to clarify that sometimes he speaks without thinking at work. It's at this moment that Jose urges him to press the red button beside the altitude indicator. Consequently, the plane descends rapidly, and Jose abruptly ends the call.

Bad Thoughts – Season 1 Episode 5 1

As the plane seemingly plunges into despair, a twist of fate unfolds: a stewardess introduces a pilot who had been sitting inconspicuously in the economy section. This pilot, with remarkable skill, regains control of the aircraft but, in an unexpected turn, strips naked. Tom considers returning to his seat, but his gaze falls upon two mocking figures staring at him. Feeling deflated, he turns back to the pilot and humbly requests a flying lesson.

Later, Tom appears on screen to deliver a poignant monologue on the importance of communication as a means of self-expression, highlighting some of the world's most influential communicators.

Elsewhere, Evan (played by Robert Iler) and his father enjoy lunch until a stranger approaches Evan, boldly declaring how much fun they had screwing him the previous week. When the waiter approaches, he too reveals his intimate encounters with Evan, who now finds himself the subject of explicit tales across the entire restaurant. Before the situation could escalate further, the waiter reveals the truth: a tech-savvy individual named Cyrus (also portrayed by Tom Segura) created a video game featuring aliens engaging in sex with humans, with Evan as one of the main characters.

Evan storms over to confront Cyrus, and the two immediately recognize each other. Cyrus confesses to developing the game but insists it has no connection to Evan. Evan argues, pointing out the striking resemblance between the game's human character and himself. Cyrus persists in his denial until Evan, in frustration, breaks one of Cyrus's paintings. That's when Cyrus caves in, admitting that the human avatar is indeed modeled after Evan. He apologizes for exploiting him but claims it's impossible to remove the game due to the widespread distribution of physical copies. Just when Evan is about to explode with anger once more, Cyrus proposes a solution: he's developing a new game where Evan is the hero and offers him a 50/50 profit share.

Cyrus generously extends an invitation to Evan, offering an exclusive sneak preview of his latest creation, "Humans F*ck Aliens IV: Evan's Revenge." As Evan immerses himself in the game, he finds himself transported back to his childhood home, where he is celebrating his birthday alongside his father. A heartwarming sight greets him—his dad presenting a beautifully decorated cake adorned with the words, "Happy birthday, Cheryl." The disconnect becomes stark as Evan realizes the cake is misnamed, a subtle hint at an upcoming twist.

Minutes later, the tranquil scene takes a harrowing turn. Evan's father, inexplicably stripped bare, stands as a symbol of retribution. The revelation dawns on Evan: he is being punished for his refusal to offer Cyrus a slice of cake at Cheryl's birthday party—a decision that now subjects him to a degrading and grotesque punishment. Cyrus forces Evan to consume cake extracted from his father's posterior, an act that defies all moral and hygienic boundaries.

The narrative shifts seamlessly to a different scenario, where Detective Jacobs (played by Kyra Locke) conducts an interview with Tom at a crime scene. Tom calmly recounts his drastic actions—the massacre of an entire barista staff who failed to fulfill his order correctly and refused to rectify their mistake. Detective Jacobs, initially inclined to arrest him, hesitates upon examining the receipt, which unequivocally proves the staff's error. This twist adds a layer of complexity to the already tense atmosphere, blurring the lines between justice and vigilantism.
