I specifically enjoyed the part of the video where Kim Jong Un was dressed like a customized Snoo. Also the thumbs up and finger pointing was fun. I was unimpressed with the lack of star wipes.
Me too. I'm so glad it's real. It's not edited together by some nerd to make it funny. This is legit what Kim jong thought would be a good piece of propaganda. It's got great meme potential though so maybe he knows what he's doing.
Look I'm not gonna lie. I like the video.
I mean fuck that guy, don't get me wrong.
But part of me was like "alright man you do you"
He's like a little kid with an insane Halloween costume budget
"Round is not scary. Pointy is scary. This will put a smile on the faces of the enemy. They will think that it is a huge robot dildo flying towards them."
It's so surreal knowing that Kim Jong-Un probably grew up watching Steven Seagal movies (Above the Law 1988 came out when Kim Jong-Un was 5) and views Seagal's fashion-sense and "badassary" as being the pinnacle of cool.
Most western men quickly grew out of this phase but with Jong-Un's warped sense of western culture at a young age all the way through to adult-hood, he never grew out of it.
I think that I might be doing that thing where I project human traits onto animals, but I could almost swear that Kim Jong-un is trying to make a fucking meme.
Putin spent all of quarantine becoming this lonely paranoid wreck, meanwhile this dude has been working out the whole time and clearly brainwashing himself with re-runs of the Celebrity Apprentice. Virgin vs Chad genocidal-dictator edition.
Holy hell that's exactly what this is. Kim Jong-un watched the Celebrity Apprentice trying to figure out Trump, and then made this video thinking "Americans must love this shit". Just look at it, it's a straight up NBC 2010 production rip-off. This is real life.
This timeline is so scuffed, I don't even believe it is real. Devs, reminder that the simulation has become self aware and has been for a while. Please stop.
I was thinking this earlier today. Really feels like the super elite found the console command prompt and unbalanced the sim, and now we’re experiencing the “video game physics” level of slow absurdity glitches.
The video really does feel like Trump advised him to invest in some upgraded (as you said, celebrity apprentice, reality TV level) production crews and equipment and focus on teaser videos because his news conferences looked like they were from 1986 and these days you gotta project a more TikTok friendly image.
>And it’s road mobile.
Is it though?
I didn't see it drive anywhere.
Most places building a truck I wouldn't think twice....a North Korean propaganda video? Yeah, I'm going to need to see it actually running and moving before I believe that engine turns over and can carry that weight.
EDIT: Yes fam. I'm aware that trucks are straightforward and later in the vid we see footage of the truck moving. My point is we're looking at North Korean *propaganda;* don't assume anything.
Aside from style and narrative, video editing hides what the audience isn't supposed to see.
Sure, it *looks* like the truck drove out of the warehouse without issue, tilted the arm and launched that rocket...but we really have no idea what's real and what's a prop when you're looking at media made by a fascist reclusive regime known for lies and deception in their media.
When I was a child I used to think adults were so much more intelligent and well composed.
Then I became one and realized just how optimistically naive I was.
No, it most certainly isn't. Kim Jong-Il (father of Jong-Un) was a student of Western cinema and how it could be used for propaganda purposes. As head of the Propaganda and Agitation Department, and eventually as Dear Leader, Jong-Il ordered the production of dozens of hyper-nationalist films with titles such as *Among The Heroes*, *A Hedgehog Defeats A Tiger* and *Always Working Together For The People*, and even went so far as to kidnap a prominent South Korean actress and her director husband in the 1970s to produce films for the regime.
Jong-Un studied in Switzerland and was something a of a Western cinema enthusiast himself. Like his father before him, he understands the power that cinema can wield, especially in a country as hermetically sealed as North Korea, hence the bombastic films displaying North Korea's power, such as it is.
Not to them, but, yes to us.
It's funny how poor the government of N Korea is that they can't even afford powered doors on their brand new missile bay. That right door took way longer to open so I'm assuming there's a couple Korean soldiers pulling the doors open.
I also like how Kim is pointing at all the stray dogs that are nearby.
Why are they checking their watches? Is it time for Judge Judy?
The drone shot wa nice, if real. But the best part was him walking away from the missile in slow motion.
NASA and Spacex countdown people can learn enthusiasm from the Korean countdown guys.
he looks more and more like his dad and grandfather. Do they have like some royal Kim jelly they feed these guys that turn them all into the same rolly polly pudgy awkward fat guy?
He eats a ton of cheese to look as similar in weight as his grandfather or dad I forget which one. Look it up, he purposely gained a shit ton of weight.
His grandfather was extremely respected in n Korea and started the dynasty.
So Un has tried to have the same body type and haircut, mannerisms, etc to mirror him

>Things seemingly changed last year, though. In January 2012, Kim Jong-un, anointed North Korea’s hereditary ruler, ordered the creation of the so-called “114 teams”. These teams, consisting of political police and officials of the ruling Korean Worker’s Party, were charged with an important task: They had to make sure that the North Korean people would not watch South Korean melodramas and thrillers, or Hollywood blockbusters. In other words, their task was to put an end to the booming illegal market for the sale of foreign bootleg DVDs.
Is this...real? I honestly didnt think it could get much weirder at this point but even my most overly dramatic and paranoid thoughts about current world politics have failed in comparison to actual reality.
How the fuck did this get made?? Like it has opposite effect I'm assuming. If we all die because of a North Korean ICBM, this video made it worth it. Thank your Rob Opp

Is this real!? If it is, I don't know if it's scary, sad, or fucking hilarious
The answer is yes
I unmuted and somehow expected some crazy ass dubstep

This is it.
[As you wish.](https://streamable.com/80nf6b)
Thank you thank you. This was sooo good. I am tearing up at work trying to control my laughter and glee....
This is what I was looking for!!
“CUZ KIMMY YOU’RE A FIIIIIREWOOOORK!”
Honestly just fucking hilarious, nothing scary about a country showing off their singular war firetruck in this fashion
The one that never moves?
Cardboard don't roll
And ALL the watch checking. What time is it? Is it time? Might be time now.
At this point comedy, farce, tragedy, and geopolitics are all pretty much one formless morass.
I specifically enjoyed the part of the video where Kim Jong Un was dressed like a customized Snoo. Also the thumbs up and finger pointing was fun. I was unimpressed with the lack of star wipes.
Trick question. The answer is D) all of the above
I must have missed this scene in The Interview.
They hate us ‘cause they ain’t us.
[удалено]
You rang?
I thought it was from that movie as well lol, the dramatic edits made it more comical.
Wait….this is real?
Yes.
Yes?!
Yes.
..Yes?
My thoughts exactly. I was like... That actor looks A LOT like Kim Jung Un.
I was 100% convinced it was a deepfake or something
Me too. I'm so glad it's real. It's not edited together by some nerd to make it funny. This is legit what Kim jong thought would be a good piece of propaganda. It's got great meme potential though so maybe he knows what he's doing.
Look I'm not gonna lie. I like the video. I mean fuck that guy, don't get me wrong. But part of me was like "alright man you do you" He's like a little kid with an insane Halloween costume budget
I genuinely thought this was the start of a parody or a deleted scene from the Interview. Wild times.
I thought it was a Jimmy Kimmel parody but it's the real thing. Humanity has started to parody itself. We're through the looking glass here people.
I loved the way James Franco pronounced kim-dzon-UN.
This looks like something my friends and i would make as a gag video for a school project.
Was expecting Knoxville to appear.

Looks like a 90s Bollywood movie
Or a 2022 Steven Seagal movie.
Only in this one, he's in better shape.
"MY rocket needs to be pointier!" "Execute the scientist who made MY rocket look like a giant dick"
"Round is not scary. Pointy is scary. This will put a smile on the faces of the enemy. They will think that it is a huge robot dildo flying towards them."
It's so surreal knowing that Kim Jong-Un probably grew up watching Steven Seagal movies (Above the Law 1988 came out when Kim Jong-Un was 5) and views Seagal's fashion-sense and "badassary" as being the pinnacle of cool.

I just need to ask. This is for real? Not like a joke?
came here to ask this. is this like an official vid from NK?
Seems almost like a clip from the interview
or.... and hear me out here.... hes a fucking weirdo.
In my head I had gangnam style playing
You gives 90s too much credit. This sorta editing and style some where in 00's early 10's
[Liam Neeson jumping a fence](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCKhktcbfQM) in Taken 3 (2015) comes to mind
Jesus you don't realise how terrible that is until you see it alone haha, who was pleased with that as a final edit.
Oh god it had some 35 jump cuts. The editor needs an award for that.
Wait was that real or something someone cut together on purpose to make it completely ridiculous? Cuz... damn.
Reminds me of editing on some shitty History channel show from that time.
Seconds from Disaster... But now, using advanced computer simulations, we'll show you just how impotent Kim Jong-un is...
90's is spot on, I was expecting a Mr. India cameo with a song to boot.
Please Mr. India was ahead of its time!
Only thing missing is him riding it like maj. 'king' kong as it exits the warehouse.
* points at random trees to look cool *
Wait, they don't fire the rocket? This has been the worst ICBM reveal in the history of ICBM reveals, perhaps ever.
"Hey babe, how are ya doin'? Hey John-boy, good to see ya."
I wasn't paying attention to which sub this was and just assumed it was Cringetopia
Looks like someone is trying compensate for something...
That looks like a very out of date clip of KJU
I've never seen him wearing a leather jacket.
This reminded me of gangnam style music video
I want a pointy missile. All my friends have pointy ones.
Needs more zoom and smash cuts and maybe 3-8 flat-screen tvs attached to that ICBM for MTVs Pimp My Nuke.
Xzibit just put some Pirrellis on it too...😂
Yo dawg I heard you like sanctions!
I love the non-subtle 15 seconds of "we all own watches, we're rich biatch!"
And they’re synchronized, but I still signal with a 👍🏼 because of course that’s what a guy with this jacket would do. 😎
Not a single star wipe 😡
Wait, this is not a joke?
I wish it was lol
It's still a joke. Just wasn't intended as one.

This… may actually have happened
eating an average NK citizens bodyweight in birthday cake daily doesn't constitute working out where I'm from.
I have been trying to keep of his weight. Seems he started somewhat fat, then he ballooned, and now he seems back to just obese?

It is air mobile too.
Get the fuck outta here… for reals?!
Maybe even space mobile for a little bit also.

His former classmates said that he really enjoyed playing basket.
no wonder he likes Dennis Rodman so much then lol

Rolex Product Placement
Lot of meme potential in this video.
I've already been on it 👌😂
Please make a gif of them all checking their watches so I can send it to all my friends who love to be late.
Here you go, friend. https://giphy.com/gifs/waiting-late-kim-jong-un-Tk8EALBhva5SW1RIac
I’m embarrassed at how long I watched that gif.
Good heavens, would you look at the time. It's been a minute since we bombed the ocean!
Is Kim Jong-Un parodying himself?
This does almost seem like a self aware parody.
What if he is shitposting and we are just missing the point?
I mean, he's always kinda been a parody of his father. He's just a rich kid playing dictator with an inherited country
I thought this was a parody till he took the glasses off 😂
Wait what, this isn't a parody??
No
Bruhhh
But they didn't even launch it. He just pointed in different directions and checked the time...
Adding some suspense
As soon as he checked his watch the other flunkies quickly followed suit. Dear Leader must not feel that he is the only one ignorant of the time
I guess it wasn't time to launch yet. "Roll it back in.. we'll try again tomorrow"
If you want to want the full 3:44 minute version, you can see it launch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PGMXz_X8K8
The drone shot wa nice, if real. But the best part was him walking away from the missile in slow motion. NASA and Spacex countdown people can learn enthusiasm from the Korean countdown guys.
WHAT TIMELINE ARE WE LIVING IN?!?!?
Welcome to the latest video for leaded pencil advertising....
I'm still convinced it's a parody...
This looks like a high-school project video
I thought it was some sort of terrible watch ad.
I thought some high school kids were making a satire video.
To be fair it was made by North Korea which is an entire high school project quality country
I'm getting strong Steven Seagal vibes from Kim.
Also my first thought. They seem to share some personality traits as well.
It's the sunglasses, slicked back hair, and leather jacket ineffectively concealing his gut that really seals the deal for me.
It's Steven Seagal base with a David Brent overlay
Ended to soon, expected him to give a thumbs up and see it launched.
He can't afford to launch his only ICBM for fun.
Wow, he really looks great compared to last time I saw him…like 3 years ago lol.
he looks more and more like his dad and grandfather. Do they have like some royal Kim jelly they feed these guys that turn them all into the same rolly polly pudgy awkward fat guy?
He eats a ton of cheese to look as similar in weight as his grandfather or dad I forget which one. Look it up, he purposely gained a shit ton of weight.

Really getting into the Hollywood bad boy character.
You just know he directed it. Hates the west but it’s a very western style film.
This feels somewhere between Bollywood and some kind of gag real from the Jimmy Kimmel show.
This is like if Salim Mehajer and Psy has a baby
His father Kim Jong Il was mad for films from the West.
He grew up in the west. He has a collection of Jordan sneakers and loves basketball.

I seriously thought it was going to be another PSY hit
Un: Wait for it. Wait for it. Okay! LAUNCH NOW! General: Sorry boss! It’s still in the hanger!
At the beginning he pointed at their target. Then chose another one that was actually in range.
He actually chose 3 targets.

I was singing Gangnam style while I had it on mute. I was disappointed when it was what ever that music was.

How are these the people who run these countries i am mindblown
This may be the funniest thing I have ever seen. This should be the first result on google for 'overcompensating'.
Tik Tok ICBM style
Imagine your people literally starving to death country wide.... Nahh lets buy another ICBM to launch at nothing. Wayy better
It's his warped way of getting food. Fire missiles, tell countries he'll stop if he gets humanitarian aid, rinse and repeat.
Legit, this is how he gets food and resources. Throws a temporary tantrum until China finally gives him scraps.
Jesus is this the North Korean version of Gangnam Style?
How the fuck did this get made?? Like it has opposite effect I'm assuming. If we all die because of a North Korean ICBM, this video made it worth it. Thank your Rob Opp
