Sanford and Son Action Figures by ChatGPT

People have been creating action figures on ChatGPT and posting them on social media, mostly in their own images. You couldn’t scroll down without seeing these things.

Now, it seems that the fad, like most other fads on social media, is cooling off to say the least.

However, in a Sandford and Son fan group on Facebook that I’m a part of, a fellow member has been bombarding us with his rendition of Sanford and Son characters as action figures. In my humble opinion, they were either hit or miss, yet entertaining nonetheless.

Unfortunately, several members were reposting (not sharing, but reposting) his artwork as their own within the same group, which didn’t make sense. Understandably, this didn’t sit too well with the original artist. He basically stated that he was posting no more action figures until those thieves in the group stop stealing.

Well, while I sympathized with his indignation, I also felt some kind of way; it’s not like he was the only one who could utilize ChatGPT or any other A.I. generator to create virtual action figures.

So I took the initiative and created some of my own Sanford and Son figures, and they were well-received in the group.

The faces never turn out right, but that’s honestly no big deal for me. As long as the character attributes were captured, I’m more than satisfied with the results.

Which Sanford and Son episodes do you recognize from this set of action figures?

Back When Saturday Night Live Was Funny?

For those who love to repeat that tired ‘back when Saturday Night Live was funny” or similar statements, hear me out…

Peacock streaming has every episode of every season of SNL available for viewing. With that said, I’d advise you to watch the episodes from the original NSRFPTPs.

Yes, there were some memorable, side-splitting skits during that period. Heck, there were several that went on to be iconic in popular culture.

However, for every funny skit those shows had, you had two to three that were either bizarre, esoteric, or just plain not funny.

There were plenty of great episodes of SNL back then, but there were also some stinkers in the mix as well.

Before any of you make the claim that today’s SNL is too political, please note that Presidents Nixon, Ford, and Carter were lampooned on a semi-regular basis.

For those who claim to not have watched the show in years, how do you know it’s not funny if you’re not watching it?

That is called the illusory truth effect. That is the tendency to believe false information to be correct after repeated exposure.

Again, I suggest any of you to watch the classic SNL show and see it for yourselves.

I’m quite aware that this was a super long post, but I’ve been wanting to get this off of my chest for the longest time.

Thank you.
