Why the ‘South Park’ Guys Made Surprise Deepfake Video ‘Sassy Justice’
Oct 30, 2020
This week, justice got a new name — and that name is “Sassy.” A viral deepfake video was released earlier this week starring President Donald Trump sporting a new look and reporting news out of Cheyenne, Wyoming under the name “ Sassy Justice .”Of course, it’s not actually Trump, but the deepfake work was stellar. Just a few days after the video’s release, it was revealed that South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were behind “Sassy Justice,” with The Tick alum and famed impersonator Peter Serafinowicz playing the deepfake Trump. So, why did this trio go to such great lengths to make us laugh?
Once you know Parker, Stone, and Serafinowicz are behind the video, it’s undeniable that their influence is all over it. Part of that influence goes back to Parker and Stone’s consistent efforts to poke fun at the current moment, which they’ve done time and time again on South Park . Speaking with The New York Times , Parker and Stone discussed those timely motivations behind the making of “Sassy Justice,” which not only utilizes a deepfake version of Trump, but also incorporates Julie Andrews , Mark Zuckerberg , Al Gore , Jared Kushner , Michael Caine , and Chris Wallace deepfakes into its 14-minute runtime.
According to Stone, “Sassy Justice” came about because “before the big scary thing of coronavirus showed up, everyone was so afraid of deepfakes [and] we just wanted to make fun of it because it makes it less scary.”
