You'll Never See 'The Office' the Same Way Again After These Haunting Deepfakes

Your favourite workplace sitcom is now an eerie fever dream

BY Alex HudsonPublished Jun 25, 2020

We've all rewatched The Office a million times at this point, but you'll see the show in a whole new way after watching some intensely cursed deepfakes.

The oddly melancholy videos were created by Jesse Richards at the Instagram account (@iamdeepfaker). They imagine all sorts of horrible nightmare scenarios: scenes where every face is Kevin, a 2030 reboot in which Michael Cera plays Dwight and Harry Styles plays Jim, and (perhaps inevitably) Nick Offerman playing every character.

See some of the most uncanny and unsettling examples. After this, The Office will feel less like a cute workplace sitcom and more like a haunting fever dream that's upsetting in a way you can't quite articulate.

Although the vast majority of @iamdeepfaker's videos are from The Office, there's also a couple of Taylor Swift clips if you dig back far enough (including the pop star as Regina George in Mean Girls and as Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones).
