Last year at about this time with all of us shuttered and nervous and hospitals overwhelmed and 2,000 Americans dying every day (still hard to wrap our heads around that), we needed distractions and humor to help us through.
What came along just in time was the forward-marching, incredibly funny and just plain stunningly-done short comedy series Sassy Justice.
Founded and created by Matt Stone and Trey Parker – the guys from South Park – Sassy Justice is a deep-fake video series featuring none other than our twice-impeached, one-term ex-president Donald Trump (although at the time he was still president and fighting – against the real numbers – to remain president by almost any means necessary even though he clearly lost the election).
The creators wrote a series of comedy sketches based on the fictional consumer advocate Fred Sassy who reports for the local TV station based in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
The realism of the deep-fake is pretty damn good. And yet we all know that in a few years we won’t even be able to tell the difference between a deep-fake and reality. (That’s kind of scary.)
In the meantime, we still have Sassy Justice complete series set embedded below for you to peruse.
However, the team hasn’t dropped a new video in the series since last year, and we couldn’t find (in a quick search) any mentions of when – or if – Sassy Justice will return.
No doubt this series involved a lot of work, time and money.
Perhaps the SJ team is waiting for Trump to run again? But why would that stop the video series? The entire Trump family and all of their associates continue to be in the news all of the time.
If it was intended as a one-off series, well thank you guys for doing it. It really helped relieve anxiety.
