30 Rock is one of those shows with a joke a minute. The writers on that show knew some shit was going down in Hollywood and politically. They snuck so much into the writing.
Hardly a bold prediction. There were advertisements resurrecting dead people to hock their products almost as soon as the VFX tech got advanced enough.
Here’s Fred Astaire in a vacuum ad from 1995 (wouldn’t be surprised if there are even older examples I’m unaware of or forgot about): https://youtu.be/q6k5Abmjin4?si=-QleHMM3EiQx_Fkg
Sure, it’s not a deepfake, but it’s not a huge leap in logic to go from “repurposing old footage” to “creating new, faked footage” as technology advanced.
They also made plenty of jokes about Harvey Weinstein long before he was in trouble.
They also had MILF Island.
We now have MILF Manor in real life. This is real life, right?
