“Baby Chuck and Baby Shaq Fighting”: Shaquille O’Neal Clowns on Himself and Charles Barkley by Harnessing Power of Deepfakes

‘Happy Cat’ has made a Happy Shaq once more. Shaquille O’Neal shared another of the AI-based content creator’s works that truly depicted his ‘childish’ relationship with Charles Barkley. Again, we’re seeing Big Diesel’s big humor that enjoys the kind of jokes that make us shake our heads. Barkley is fortunate to not be on social media to see this deepfake version of himself.

“baby chuck and baby shaq fighting again thanks @happycat.1989 love you,” Shaq wrote on Instagram accompanying a reel of two kids with their faces. Happy Cat’s choice to put Shaq’s mustache face on a baby is underrated comedy gold. Mustached baby Shaq bites Baby Chuck’s finger and makes him very angry. Ironically, Baby Chuck yells, “Ouch! Charley that hurts.”

Until last year, Shaq wasn’t the biggest fan of Artificial Intelligence and was wary of deepfakes as anyone should. Referring to AI-based memes, Shaq once said in an interview, “One thing about artificial intelligence is if it comes up with a commercial that bombs, it’s not going to get blamed, you are.”

His stance has since changed drastically. Not only is he one of the few celebrity investors to realize the potential of ChatGPT and AI-based, Edsoma, but he’s also enjoying those AI memes more often now.

Happy Cat’s Biggest Fan – Big Diesel

Happy Cat previously let DJ Diesel see himself in the place of hitmakers and their most famous songs. We got the best version of Shaq-kon with the reworked version of Akon’s club anthem, “Smack That.” This one was appropriately titled “Shaq That.” Fans found it equally hilarious as much as they wanted to put Shaq on an Internet ban.

That didn’t happen and O’Neal was eventually sharing the next Happy Cat gift that included Barkley along with Ernie Johnson and Kenny “The Jet” Smith. This was the reworked version of Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road.”

Apart from countryfied Chuckster with Billy Ray Cyrus hairdo, riding a convertible and singing on stage, Kenny stole the show as a dancing girl. Ernie played the washboard to support Chuck’s singing in this one. This must’ve been Shaq’s favorite as he wrote, “i’m in love with @happycat.1989 she is a monster with these videos.” Which of Shaq and Happy Cat’s contents is your favorite?
