New Full House deepfake gives every character the Ron Swanson treatment

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Dr. Fakenstein, the video tool savy genius who gave us such internet hits as Cardi B as The Rock, Mike Tyson in Family Matters Intro, and Keanu Reeves' Sesame Street is at it again with their latest video, Full House of Mustaches. The mesmerizing and inherently creepy video takes the intro to ABC's 1987-1995 family comedy series FULL HOUSE to another level by replacing all the characters faces with that of Ron Swanson from NBC's PARKS AND RECREATION.

Full House, deepfake, Dr. Fakenstein

Honestly, I don't know what's creepier, seeing Nick Offerman's mustachioed mug plastered on Candace Cameron's DJ Tanner or the infant versions of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who jointly played Michelle Tanner for the series. In fact, the only one who doesn't strike me as nightmare fuel is the moment when Ron Swanson's goofy grimace is attached to Uncle Joey, as played by comedian Dave Coulier. Okay, so maybe it's still a bit creepy, but did you get a load of Lori Loughlin's Rebecca Katsopolis? Woof!

If you ask me, these deepfake videos are pretty intense, as sometimes the liknesses are so uncanny that you have to do a double-take just to be sure that it's not the real thing. Case in point, check out this deepfake video in which Jim Carrey replaces Jack Nicholson for an intense scene from Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING.
