North Korea’s video of Kim Jong Un’s missile launch was unintentionally hilarious (but still terrifying)
To be filed under ‘it goes without saying’, there’s obviously nothing remotely funny found about North Korea testing a banned intercontinental ballistic missile.
And yet this video broadcast on North Korea’s state television, featuring Kim Jong Un apparently overseeing the illegal test, is unintentionally hilarious.
It went viral because, well, best have a watch for yourself.
BREAKING: North Korea’s state-run television shows edited footage of Kim Jong Un guiding the test-launch of what the country referred to as the Hwasong-17 ICBM.

And it didn’t end there.
