I know his generals and secret police and such get to live a lot better than your average N Korean, but is it all really enough if one has to always pretend this sorry dweeb and mediocre Large Adult Son is a super hero?

Is gym a slang word for some sort of deep fried korean food?
I think that’s mostly what he’s been hitting.
Can’t lie, that jacket looks super soft, it’s probably veal leather tho.

His military backing dancers’ uniforms look like they’ve come from David Lynch’s Dune, or, maybe, Thunderbirds.

That giant Transport Erector Launcher vehicle is straight out of a Gerry Anderson show - although it would probably have exploded halfway through the video.

I was really disappointed that Kim Jong-un wasn’t pictured walking away from the launcher in slo-mo, as the rocket lifted off behind him.

I was kinda getting into it until the sunglasses came off. Then, pow!–once again he looked like Herbie Popnecker.

Definitely missed a trick there - especially if he had flicked a Zippo over his shoulder just before it blasted off.

I’m guessing that anyone who told him pointing at stuff like a toddler doesn’t actually look cool has been shot.

And now I am worried that Kim’s fellow bloated narcissist Boris Johnson will want a ludicrous 1980s slo-mo video of his own.
