Robert Griffin III, the former NFL quarterback turned social media sensation, is stirring the pot again with a wild skit alongside his wife, Grete. This week, RGIII dropped a video that’s got the internet buzzing-and not everyone’s laughing. After his ESPN gig ended last year (replaced by Jason Kelce), Griffin’s been keeping busy with quirky posts, and this latest one’s a doozy.
The skit’s caption says it all: “When you accidentally take Melanin instead of Melatonin to fall asleep.” In the clip, Grete, who’s white, pops a gummy, hits the hay, and-bam-wakes up as Griffin, played by the man himself decked out in her clothes.
Yup, he went full-on wardrobe swap for this one, and it’s as absurd as it sounds. Posted on February 21, 2025, per Complex, this isn’t Griffin’s first viral rodeo with Grete-remember that giant croissant fiasco from the Paris Olympics? The guy’s got a knack for oddball content.
Social media lit up fast. Some fans cracked up, with one X user noting, “RGIII’s got a sense of humor-love it or hate it, he’s not afraid to play.” Others? Not so much. A troll dragged up an old “First Take” jab from Rob Parker, who once called Griffin “a cornball brother,” tying it to this skit’s edgy vibe. The melanin-melatonin mix-up sparked debate too-some saw it as clever, others as a misstep. Total Pro Sports reported the roasting was in full swing, with Griffin catching flak for pushing boundaries.
RGIII is no stranger to controversy
Digging deeper, Griffin’s no stranger to headlines. After ESPN let him go in August 2024 amid budget cuts-despite two years left on his deal-he’s bounced back with gigs like Netflix’s NFL Christmas doubleheader, per USA Today. He told Us Weekly, “There’s no bad blood for me,” about his ESPN exit, showing he’s keeping it chill. Still, this skit’s timing, just days after his 35th birthday bash went viral, keeps him squarely in the spotlight.
So, what’s the takeaway? Griffin’s out here living unfiltered, mixing humor with a dash of controversy. Love it or not, he’s got our attention.
