AI Gives South Park a Retro Makeover as an 80s Sitcom
Love or hate South Park, you would love to see such an adaptation.
Are there any South Park fans? Maybe not so many, but when it comes to pushing boundaries and causing a stir, few shows can hold a candle to South Park.
This animated series, created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, has never been one to shy away from controversial topics.
With its blend of satire, social commentary, and irreverent humor, South Park has ruffled feathers and sparked heated debates since its debut in 1997.
Throughout its history, South Park has seriously pissed off a ton of people from just about every social group. But what if South Park was remade in a more family-friendly form?
Well, you've guessed it right, AI is here to save the day again. A YouTube user shared a video compilation of pictures generated with AI that introduce South Park in a brand new way — as an 80s sitcom.
Can you imagine our favorite foul-mouthed fourth-graders living in an entirely different era?
Thanks to the wonders of MidJourney AI, we have a glimpse of what South Park would look like in a whole new light.
Say goodbye to those crude paper cutouts and say hello to actual kids with gnarly hairstyles, killer fashion, and an infectious dose of nostalgia. The video introduces all the beloved (or hated) characters from the original animated show.
Each character rocks their own unique 80s style. And what completely boggles the mind is that in this version, the characters actually look… normal.
Well, except for Satan, who seems just a bit out of place for a family-friendly TV show. He looks hilariously cool though.
It's actually really hard to imagine (even when you watch this video) South Park as something friendly and innocent. Would this kind of show manage to mix the controversial South Park humor with the sitcom formula? Probably not.
But still, it is definitely an intriguing idea. While South Park has always pushed boundaries and tackled controversial topics, the 80s sitcom version would find clever ways to address social issues within the limits of the time.
And with South Park's characters it would be one hilarious spectacle.
