![]() ![]() One of his most popular video series melds Donald Trump with the character of Fred Sanford in Sanford and Son while he's cracking wise on Nancy Pelosi. When it comes to satirizing, C3PMeme is an equal-opportunity prankster. "After celebrating the Sith eternal's defeat with the rest of the Resistance fighters, I turned to making dank memes," C3PMeme claims. His profile mirrors that of the shiny Star Wars droid from which he drew his name. (The video contains a disclaimer explaining it's fake and "made for giggles.")Ĭ3PMeme doesn't reveal much about himself on his website. ![]() In April, the digital mischief-maker made headlines when he put out a fabricated video that depicted Hillary Clinton endorsing DeSantis for president. The Dunder Mifflin gem was not C3PMeme's first deepfake DeSantis rodeo. But that's only the tip of the virality iceberg, as Donald Trump Jr.'s retweet of the deepfake has notched more than half a million views on its own. The video has garnered more than 300,000 views (and counting). ![]() To make matters worse for the DeSantis camp, C3PMeme tweeted out the Office parody on Thursday, May 25 - the morning after DeSantis announced his 2024 presidential run and endured a glitch-plagued interview with Twitter owner Elon Musk. Juxtaposing the governor with Scott works on so many levels for DeSantis' detractors - not only on account of the perceived insecurity and preoccupation with projecting masculinity that the two seemingly share, but also in view of the Florida governor's penchant for unfortunate wardrobe choices begetting meme fodder, from 2022's post-Hurricane Ian white boots fiasco to the high-heeled cowboy boots look and suit-tailoring debacle. So I don't think this is totally just a woman's suit," the character insists. "Everybody was rifling through them, and I grabbed one, and it fit. "This is a power suit!" Scott DeSantis insists.ĭeSantis-Scott then recounts how he found the suit while rummaging through a bargain bin. YouTube screenshot via In the sitcom parody, DeSantis assumes the shape of The Office's chief protagonist, Michael Scott (played by Steve Carell), the regional manager of the paper company Dunder Mifflin, who refuses to admit that he is wearing a woman's pantsuit upon being called out by warehouse foreman Darryl Philbin (Craig Robinson). The video surfaced the same day a DeSantis PAC released altered footage of a 2022 speech by the governor, adding computer-generated fighter jets to the spectacle. He recently used deepfake software to transmute the Florida governor into the infamous "Ladypants" episode of the NBC sitcom The Office. PLC2shlfU0- C3PMeme One deepfake producer who goes by "C3PMeme" appears to be at the forefront of doctored DeSantis-themed videos. Given the nicknames attached to him by ne'er-do-wells with no respect for the governor's office, DeSantis can expect to be superimposed into any number of characters (perhaps the beloved Meatwad from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, for starters). Just as Donald Trump was transposed into the form of an infantile pageant princess and Barack Obama became Commander Tuvok from Star Trek via deepfake tech, so too will the Florida governor be morphed. The cruise and the good life onboard become soon a buried memory and they even take onboard a group of Cuban rebels.Deepfake videos are getting sharper and harder to distinguish from reality seemingly by the day - and newly declared presidential candidate Ron DeSantis will no doubt provide endless fodder for digital pranksters adept at using artificial intelligence-enhanced technology. Benjamin works hard under Ron's guidance and everyone gradually learns something about stays, riggings and the compass. They try however to set up what Martin thought to be a luxurious yacht, provided with wrong nautical maps too. Not only the Harvey's are entirely unaware of navigation concepts, but the boat is small and in poor condition too. They need a skipper, so Harvey meets Captain Ron, a tall, young, blond haired and pirate-looking guy. To do so, they must pick the boat up at the dock and deliver it to a marine agency. One day he discovers a dying uncle has left him a boat, so Martin and his family - his wife Khaterine, his teenage daughter Caroline and the lively eleven-year-old Benjamin - imagine cruises and amusements in the Caribbean Sea, while actually Khaterine would like to sell it to pay their mortgages and debts. Plot – Martin Harvey has a family, a job and some debts like many others. ![]()
