Robert Griffin III Gets Trolled for an Outrageous Melanin Skit With His Wife

With a crazy skit with his wife, Grete, Robert Griffin III, the former NFL quarterback who is now a social media phenomenon, is stirring things up once more. RGIII released a video this week that has gone viral on the internet, albeit not everyone finds it funny. Griffin has been keeping busy with oddball posts since his ESPN job ended last year (Jason Kelce took his place), and this most recent one is really funny.

To put it simply, the caption for the skit reads, “When you accidentally take Melanin instead of Melatonin to fall asleep.” In the video, the man himself plays Griffin, dressed as Grete, who is white, pops a gummy, hits the hay, and wakes up.

Yes, he completely changed his outfit for this one, and it’s just as ridiculous as it seems. According to Complex, this isn’t the first time Griffin and Grete have gone viral together—do you recall that massive croissant incident from the Olympics in Paris? It was posted on February 21, 2025. He has a talent for creating unusual stuff.

Social media quickly exploded. A few fans burst out laughing, while one X user wrote:

“RGIII’s got a sense of humor-love it or hate it, he’s not afraid to play.”

 “First Take” jab from Rob Parker, who once called Griffin “a cornball brother,”

God has a sense of humor. It’s okay to laugh and not be offended by everything. Sometimes we trip when nothing is there, forget why we walked into a room and have God facepalming when we eat a whole pizza while on a no carb diet. God knew life would be too hard without laughter.

The melanin-melatonin confusion also generated controversy; while some viewed it as a creative move, others saw it as a mistake. According to Total Pro Sports, Griffin was receiving criticism for pushing limits, and the roasting was well on.

Going further, Griffin is accustomed to making headlines. Despite having two years left on his contract, he was let go by ESPN in August 2024 because to budget constraints, but he has since recovered with contracts like Netflix’s NFL Christmas doubleheader.
