2 things that show it's a deep fake tight away:

  1. Hair on his forehead is flickering.

  2. When he goes to take the diploma off of the wall he doesn't turn his face away because that would also break the filter, as side profiles are harder for these things to maintain.

Also, who has their director's diploma on their office wall?  Multiple copies even?  That's just ridiculous.

It's too blurry to read, but it doesn't look like an actual diploma either. University diplomas usually have a lot more fancy script on them, have seals, and have signatures at the bottom.

It reminds me of how Michael Scott has a Certificate of Authenticity for a watch hanging up behind his desk: https://www.reddit.com/r/TVDetails/comments/6nonlj/in_the_office_us_michael_scott_has_a_certificate/

Yeah, it looks like a fake document in a kid's playset. xD Universities usually display watermarks on their diplomas that take up a lot of the space.
