Watch Comedian Rob Riggle’s Super Bowl Parody of “Friends in Low Places” With Pals John Travolta, Weird Al, Ken Jeong and More

Posted on February 6, 2017

Funnyman Rob Riggle channeled his inner Garth Brooks for a pre-Super Bowl parody of “Friends in Low Places” on Fox. Instead of staying true to the lyrics of Garth’s No. 1 song, Rob and his celebrity crew lamented the respective seasons of their favorite NFL teams that didn’t make it to the Super Bowl.

Rob enlisted the help of his friends from the world of music, TV, film and sports for the bit, including Aaron Paul, Brian Urlacher, Ken Jeong, Paul Sheer, Terry Crews, Weird Al Yankovic, Malin Akerman, Kristen Bell and DJ Khaled.

“Sure I’ll watch today’s game, and eat all my shame, in the form of wings, nachos and shrimp, we’ll drink with our dads, watch overpriced adds, and hope one features a chimp,” sang Weird Al and Rob.

John Travolta capped the ditty by trying to convince everyone to acquiesce and just root for the Patriots.

Watch the parody below.
