YouTuber Uses AI To Create Live-Action 'South Park' Characters—And We Are Not M'Mkay
YouTube

YouTuber demonflyingfox used deepfake technology to transform the beloved 'South Park' characters from animation to live-action sitcom, and the results are staggering.

Have you ever wished your favorite animated characters could come to life? Well you just might get your wish.

Kind of.


YouTuber demonflyingfox used deepfake technology to bring long-running animated series South Park to sort-of-real-life, turning the cartoon into a live-action sitcom and... well, it's really something.

The deepfakes are so good if you didn't know South Park already you'd think it was just a regular ol' TV show, albeit one populated by people with extremely strange voices. It's either hilarious or full-on nightmare fuel, depending on your vibe.

See the video below and decide for yourself.

All the main characters are there, looking eeever so slightly inhuman, just enough to hit that uncanny valley effect—has anyone ever had skin this smooth, even when they were a baby?

But you'd probably only notice that if you were really looking. Otherwise, the only thing that would tip you off is the voices, like Mr. Mackey's nasal droning about how "drugs are bad, m'kay?" and Eric Cartman's guttural screaming his iconic catchphrase, "screw you guys, I'm going home."

While it's probably the most unsettling, South Park isn't demonflyingfox's first deepfake creation.

He's also made viral reboots of Breaking Bad, the Harry Potter series and Lord of the Rings as if they were conceived and created by legendary fashion house Balenciaga, with instantly viral results.

Making a new live-action deepfake of something that was already live action in the first place—like Harry Potter—is one thing. 

Transforming a cartoon is a whole 'nother.

People on Twitter were seriously impressed with the South Park deepfake.







But people are loving demonflyingfox's Harry Potter X Balenciaga videos just as much.



The AI technologies that allow people like demonflyingfox to make such convincing deepfakes are developing so rapidly Google CEO Sundar Pichai recently said the potential implications "keep me up at night."

At least for now, the tech can make us laugh at a live-action Cartman before the AIs take us over.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
