Deepfakes are a scourge on our more and more on-line tradition, however maybe one of the best ways to make sure they don’t accidentally trigger a nuclear war is to lift consciousness through absurd demonstrations of the face-swapping expertise. We’ve seen movie scenes, sitcom credits, and presidential speeches reimagined, however we’ve but to see a complete collection constructed round deepfakes. Till now.
South Park’s Trey Parker and Matt Stone have teamed with British comic and actor Peter Serafinowicz for Sassy Justice, an online collection wherein sassy Cheyenne reporter Fred Sassy (deepfaked with Trump’s mug) investigates native tales, the primary of which is, fittingly, the hazard posed by deepfakes. Al Gore, Michael Caine, and Jared Kushner, every performed by actors convincingly deepfaked to resemble the actual figures, lend experience all through the 15-minute episode, which comes punctuated with commercials wherein a Fake-Zuckerberg shills sham dialysis therapies.
Watch particular person segments and subscribe to the Sassy Justice channel over on YouTube or, in the event you’re feeling nostalgic, revisit what’s maybe the sassiest TV present of all of them beneath.
