So, recently, I accidentally stumbled into an almost bottomless pit of romantic comedies on an amazon prime "channel" called PixL. It has a ridiculously large quantity of low-value sort-of-OK content that all kind of bleeds together if you squint. I watch a lot of TV/movies, and it is mostly something to deal with me feeling lonely (which is probably a bad thing to fix, actually: better I get so sad that I quit compu…

I remember a study, a couple of decades back, that found that people who watch soap operas estimate they have more friends than people who don't. I figure the lizard brain knows they're people, but doesn't know they're actors in a box. Just thought that might be interesting to you.

I am guessing it wouldn’t be hard for an AI voice generator to impersonate the actor’s voices given the possible sample data available. I’m sure it’s not long before we have completely new AI generated deep faked episodes of beloved TV shows.

I'm surprised it isn't using something like https://fakeyou.com/ already.

Thanks for the shout out!

I'm the founder of FakeYou, and there's a reason we've been hiring game engineers and 3D artists for the last year.

We've got a really cool product coming soon. :)

This is probably the first time I've encountered something where "It's so bad that it's good" makes sense to me. I could not stop laughing. The exterior shot with the Seinfeld-inspired music. The laugh track at inappropriate times. They talk about going to a sushi restaurant, and when they've finally agreed to go, they sit down and don't go anywhere. This is like the alien scientists who want to bring back humans aft…

Perhaps, but it really seems like a show about nothing.

They’re both sitcoms but with very different styles. Seinfeld is a “smart” comedy and makes social commentary through the life of the Manhattanite characters. Married with Children is more of a base comedy, lampooning the old cliche of the perfect 50s household. At least that’s my take. I haven’t watched either in probably 20 years.

What social commentary did Seinfeld make? It was a 'show about nothing', starring incredibly self-centered characters who cared about nothing.

No soup for you

You know what Al Bundy is, but you don't know "Seinfeld" except from "on the web"? And then you search for it and post a YouTube vid here? I don't believe it.

Married with Children was huge here in France but Seinfeld never made it to the mainstream as it was aired on subscription TV

It's true (although it was broadcasted uncrypted) but with YouTube, Netflix or ... the internet in general it's hard to think someone really has no idea what/who Seinfeld is.

Are you giving that as an example of social commentary? What does it mean to you?

I saw the name "Seinfeld" a thousand times here and there on the web. But never looked it up. Now I took a peek for the first time. First video that pops up is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYgFmP03biw So it is something like Al Bundy? A soap opera? If someone makes an Al Bundy version, it certainly should be called "AI Bundy".

Married with children was very popular in Germany because of how well it was translated.

Seinfeld was also translated but it was awfully done so people didn't watch it and it stopped running on tv.

Knight Rider was also very popular and the acting was way better than the original because of the translators.

It is quite interesting what effect dubbing of movies and tv shows can have on the perception of it.
