The Vice Guide to North Korea - Part 01

[BeingSamee]

stay hungry. stay foolish! :p

[dannygoodwinphoto]

It's actually very simple to go to North Korea with specialist tour operators (comes with a hefty price tag and bureaucracy of course) Saying that very few will ever be able to go inside country is BS, the majority of people are eligible if you pay the money that will likely go straight into building more forced labour camps...

[Falos425]

5:13 "If the enemy dares to invade the land of Korea..." for WHAT?

[krme1974]

@Falos425 well...they did it once didn't they?

[paulspydar]

checkpoint charlie is in Berlin, unless they took the name and used it for the Korean DMZ too?

[laythe21smackdown]

youtube is gonna get nuked.

[WilheimRod]

THANK YOU for sharing, catland. I'm really grateful!

[criskity]

I did the DMZ tour from the South a couple months ago. Very bizarre.

[hetkaashuis]

DUMPERT!

[imfasa]

bit.ly/ BestOfDubstep

[escapeseeker2]

Hundreds of thousands of Goose Stepping soldiers filling the "parade ground," idolizing their semi god leader on a balcony above the "loyal and brave subjects"......Hmmmmm...anyone remember Mao, Stalin, Lenin, Hitler???????????????????

[perversionador]

@escapeseeker2 They know the fucking gringos want their land, so they have to be prepared, they are a small country, unlike China, Russia or other country the US would not dare to attack.

God Bless North Korea.

[Tihbialdunav]

@perversionador , why would anyone want N. Korea's land? And do you know 200,000 North Koreans live in starvation concentration camps in the mountains up north? Do you support mass murder?

[perversionador]

@Tihbialdunav Why would they like thier land!? Son, geopolitics is a subject you sure don't understand, you are too young for me to discuss this matter with you, perhaps when you are older enough and stop your Xbox playing life, I'll sure give you some lessons on world politics. In the mean time:

Do you have proof of those camps?

I bet they are not better than your sweatshops in NYC.

I do not support mass murder as I do not support USA wars against the world murdering THOUSANDS of civilians.

[Tihbialdunav]

@perversionador , for starters I am not a child, not American and actually from Eastern Europe and know quite a bit about geopolitics( my country would NEVER fall under communism if it wasn't the Stalin+Roosevelt+Churchill evil Yalta contract!), so maybe you should do some research before talking. And those concentration camps are well known by Amnesty International, they recommend you just use google maps to locate them or google someone who escaped to tell the horrifying truth...

[perversionador]

@Tihbialdunav You are not a kid, well, stop acting like one, and if you do not know anything about a subject, do not comment.

Google?

And you tell me you are not a kid.

Please, do not reply.

[Tihbialdunav]

@perversionador , you've nevere lives under a dictatorship, shut off from the rest of the world, so your comments are worthless. I've been there, done that, I know.

[Alia749]

@escapeseeker2

Offcourse, they're all dictators and North Korea is, just like the Sovjet Union was communistic.

[eigang]

who the fuck is ian

[chamuda610]

I love Vice!

[dhockey63]

North Korea=Russia's little bitch. Bunch of wannabe soviets just look at they're military parades and listen to their anthems

[SeNsaToR]

SHUTUP IAN

[TheonHafet300]

SHUT UP RIGHT NOW OR I'LL KILL YOUR FAMIRRY!!! YOUR FAMIIRRRYY!!! OKAY BYE BYE I RAVV YOUUU!!"

[nonchalant1985]

all that dancing, all that procession and where did it get them?

[upuautiii]

Was it Kim Jong-il that dictated short clips?

[JoyceJeeZ]

-_-

[zany46045]

Yup Ian Hecox (smosh) sent meh here:))

[anqiyalun]

Team smosh is here! 

[Zentrix97]

Fuck that Parade, in Norway children march xD

[tacoblocko]

Thumbs up if my brother sent me this over steam to go watch it.

[brittanylolkitty]

thats fucking scary dude

[ROBLOXBayat]

thumbs up if ian sent you here.

[DOw0rkk]

@ROBLOXBayat Ian is gay.

[AngryAdobo]

@ROBLOXBayat Wow. You play Roblox.

[pehpig]

@ROBLOXBayat Richard Fernandez of Pajamas Media for me.

[Youngredfield]

KIM JONG IL IS DEAD!

[General420smoke]

lol the guards looked like dolls

[OneDustyAngel]

Does anybody know, what this song in the beggining ? Really catchy ! And I have no idea, what are they singing about ! :)

[Mizmoon2020]

I hope none of the people you came into contact with were sent to the gulag. They're pretty hardcore about that sort of thing.

[92benno92]

No pointing! 4:13

[DookieAdz]

anybody know the reason behind the no pointing rule?

[ReptarLordofTerror]

@DookieAdz To avoid anything that might seem hostile.

[ReptarLordofTerror]

Technically the war never "ended" it's just in a ceasefire. It's pretty much why they so hostile towards south korea and the united states.

So, yeah do not expect to just walk into north korea as a tourist.

[ShaneGentryRobb]

The people really know how to do a parade.

[TheMirageowner]

I love this series. This is the most surrealistic documentary yet

[fineguh]

he said that's north Korea get back on the bus! you could start world war three lmao

[Yesaul19]

I don't know. I wouldn't call myself a fan of North Korea by any means. However I don't think we can criticize they way they run things. Look at Greece the father of democracy and how things are working out. Perhaps its to early to tell what government system works best?.

[Migzter05]

Marching.... LIKE A BAWSSS!!

[moopMASTER2000Films]

North Core-ear.

[rmoriz2]

Cosplay world champion

[Posdrums3]

North Korea is isolated.

No threat of collateral damage.

Check mate.

[tacticaloperator12]

Who's the 5 year old who draws all your maps

[Bonygasse]

Those people aren't human ... some kind of Ants...but no humans!

[anitsirhC2]

holy shit, they're fucking beast at marching.

[veiga1000]

Korer

[toms1266]

The one part of the world where the Cold War is alive and well.

[EBinnz]

Are those guards real? They look like statues

[MrJmaxted]

@Radman916 Because they've been wearing blinders all their life.

[Skinnyoompalumpa]

It's to bad the Vice guide is Islamaphobic. This documentary is very funny

[acdctnt38]

@Sumoto999 They are a communist militarised country, what the hell else will they do with their military besides flex it.

[MattiasAlb]

@Sumoto999

The most modern nations don't even care about having an army... Some of the Nordic countries, Switzerland etc.

[fluffynoses]

@MattiasAlb you're forgetting that countries like sweden, switzerland, norway, and finland....they're not exactly surrounded by other states hostile to their own existence. it's not like denmark or slovakia are totalitarian states with nukes pointed right at cities like stockholm or zurich. those countries can afford not to spend money on the military

south korea doesn't have that luxury for obvious reasons

[rdx506]

@Sumoto999 You are RACIST for not mentioning Great dark-skinned nations!  Like Nigeria, Zambia, Liberia Uganda, Pakistan, and India!

[angelofpurity1992]

So glad I was born in the U.S

[19792403]

@angelofpurity1992 So glad I was born in Singapore! :D

[ckalb63]

@19792403 im singaporean too!

[TeachESL]

I am really perplexed as to why the world is focused on Israel and her neighbors...and not here!! This is one of the most dangerous places in the world!

[TeachESL]

@TeachESL Compared to North Korea Gaza is a paradise!!

[Judicial78]

*march march march* look at us we are sheep! *march march march*

[NOUFGT]

I like the way their little titties bounce.

[elmiraviking]

They march like they have a wad of shit stuck in their butt.

[deblasco]

magnificent documentary... awesome work guys... have you thought of returning to NK? to compare the progress they have achieved? :o))

[MrTurdFurgeson]

@deblasco

North Korea? Progress? More like regress. There is no way that country has progressed much for the past 40 years. When you cannot develop the country via private and international capital and trade, little can be done.

[RedGunBullets]

After "The Vice Guide to motherfucking >Liberia<" this is paradise

[teabee09]

They look like the hyenas marching from The Lion King...creepy!

[mastaODI56]

dear leader disaproves of dirty americans visting his lands

[chaoslab]

Like a boss!

[jliu512]

When you have nucrear bomb, USA cannot fuck with you !! NORTH KOREA IS BEST KOREA

[IncredibotsSteam3]

0:28 : One way to remove an entire company of troops...

[Trexmaster12]

Damn... like robots...

[mrjerrick]

Imagine one of them accidentally fires his RPG while marching

[jackh337]

@mrjerrick I doubt they use actual ammunition on parade.

[dabeshu]

"dude we have to get into north korea, we just have to"

[12bpanda]

D&C bosses!

[welcomegohome]

this guy speaking is bullshit. koryogroup, which is based out of china, will let you take tours. my swedish friend went, i'm american, contacted them, i'm considering going this fall. it's a bit pricy. google it, but you might need a proxy to view the site.

[malbazz]

@welcomegohome You do realize that this document is like 3 years old?

Anyway, enjoy your restricted fucked up tourist "tour".

[welcomegohome]

@malbazz but what does that have to do with anything? koryogroup has actually been around for much longer than three years... and they take you to hamgyeong province as well, it's a pretty great tour actually. do you know of a way to freely travel the DPRK? or of a better way to travel the DPRK?

[malbazz]

@welcomegohome Because you said "this guy speaking is bullshit", so, this document has outdated info etc

I don't know any way for you to travel freely in NK and I wouldn't even consider going there, because in my opinion tour that's so restricted as in NK at the moment doesn't really even feel like a tour.

[TeachESL]

@welcomegohome But will they let you go wherever you want?? I highly doubt it. I'm sure it will be very controlled.

[welcomegohome]

@TeachESL Of course it's highly controlled, no matter where you go. Not sure which cities and provinces you can go to, but Pyongyang, Hamgyong province, Kaesong, probably Kumgangsan on the other side of Seoraksan area for sure.

[HeavensTearMGO]

thats alot of fembots

[Mikemaladar]

NORTH KOREA BEST KOREA. AMERICAN IS PIG DISGUSTING FUCKING U.S.A.

[CFawZ]

@Mikemaladar grammar fail

[kiwanukaz]

They are fucking awesome at marching

[mrditchdigger1]

@kiwanukaz commies always march better then us, it like a fucking rule of nature, the sun comes up in the morning, birds sing, and the commies march like a boss.

[Th3Nigma]

@kiwanukaz when you only know how to do one thing your entire life, you're kinda good at it

[DMJENI1]

@kiwanukaz

yeah and putting on a pretty good show...and that's about it

[barrymjones]

If you have Netflix you can watch the whole thing there.

[igordotnet]

Fuckin' creepy...

[darkgear6]

I'd jump that border and shoot those korean sons of a bitches

[rockyzee]

@darkgear6 That's the American way. Don't think, just act!

[nightydays]

99.9%? my mother is a chinese citizen and she's been there as a tourist.....she almost died in an elevator due to the black outs, but I always thought chinese citizens could enter north korea with enough "stuff"......correct me if your an expert on this but wouldn that make at least 1/6 of the population able to go?

[Knux02]

the hymn at the start sounds like the opening of a mecha anime of the 70ties/80s

[TheoMarkAllen]

north korea is best korea

[TweFoji]

You dont want to mess with the NK Armies...

[hinodecho69]

Lefties always think they can implement Marxism and create some type of peace-and-love utopia where people will live happily in collectives and the State will wither away. The fact that their philosophy results in hyper-military totalitarianism and repression such as the DPRK escapes their little minds...

[wilde1]

It made me think that if the world does have a collective consciousness, than North Korea would be the ones who signed on to play the role of the Stalinists/Soviets for history's sake.

[fghcdd]

team america comes to mind!

[FortitudeOfHeaven]

Did you know you can get "banned for life" in NKorea for no apparent reason?

[SensitiveVirmin1234]

whats the song at the start ...man its cool

[koopaatroopa]

Hahaha they march like pixies xD

[InappropriateBanana]

adolf jong II general

[Mstippeetoes]

How does this guy get into North Korea?

[iambgod]

@Mstippeetoes i think the answer is in part 2 or 3. he payed off an official in china.

[RainbowManification]

@Mstippeetoes he bribed an official at the North Korean embassy in Shenyang, China.

[mamacita32822]

Personally been to the DMZ and spent a few nights up there w/some JSA soldiers. That's some serious shit... and the propaganda music is horrid!!! Lock n Load.. or Rock n Road... if you're KJI... so ronry!!!

[TilaTequila73]

north korea is best korea

[taperi5]

what is up with americans!! OUH THAT COUNTRY IS CORRUPTED LETS FIX IT oh no.. we just caused more problem while trying to fix it.. ah what the heck lets make money out of it and leave it to the fn or something but at the same we could try to help iran...

[IamNotaThreat]

vice needs to check some of their facts first and not over exaggerate as much, as it's just going to feed to some hipster's ignorance.

[dirtypleasures]

@IamNotaThreat so what exactly did they get wrong ?

[topster888]

@IamNotaThreat What are they wrong about?

[IamNotaThreat]

@topster888 @dirtypleasures First off, the CIA did not discover the tunnels, and second off, there are many exaggerations in these videos.

[topster888]

@IamNotaThreat What exactly is exaggerated

[IamNotaThreat]

@topster888 One of them was when he described his journey to the DMZ on the southern side. He said there were like 15 checkpoints or something along the way, which is completely bs. There's one, maybe two checkpoints there. There were a bunch of other exaggerations as well but I can't remember them.

[topster888]

@IamNotaThreat Did they exaggerate about anything that actually MATTERS? Who cares if there's between 5 and 15 checkpoints? How about how they built a dam that flooded all their farmland? Or how they use propaganda on the masses to make them think Kim Jong Il is divine and loved everywhere? Or how they don't allow people to video anything that would reflect poorly on NK?

[Devlish3]

@IamNotaThreat

Hi Kim

[Blindsushi]

To all the close-minded idiots posting here: If you can't face the differences of the world, get off the internet before you find out something you really don't want to know. Yes, we have different nations, not everyone's life is perfect. You damn Americans think think you're so special, open your damn eyes, you're not alone in this world, stop being so selfish and try thinking outside the box once in a while.

[aleken]

who does this guy think he is? what has he ever acomplished? all this redneck does is constantly diminish an entire culture (way of thinking) or the efford of a lot of people with a few words. this asshole just mockes and gets helpfulness, trust and friendly respectfulness in return, althoug, as the portrays it, everyone was educated to hate him. i dont have anything to do with NK or asia, but i am truely disguested by this man!

[MobiusAnimations]

@aleken Are you an idiot? Do you actually know anything about North Korea? this "redneck" is not patronizing anyone. North Korea is a communist government ran by a tyrannical dictator who literally lets his people starve to death. He uses the money which his socialist economy makes to further his military and create more nuclear weapons. He and his father brainwashed generations of people into believing that the world hates them and lives worse than they do. the NK govt needs to be brought down.

[seho]

@MobiusAnimations wHo will do that job ! ? any one wants to e hero .. ...

[IamNotaThreat]

@MobiusAnimations of course the NK government does some terrible things, but there is brainwashing and propaganda done on both sides. you can't trust everything you read or are told about NK. the true aspects of NK are almost never shown in the western world, they are always portrayed in a negative fashion, with exception of a few countries such as sweden and denmark.

[Blindsushi]

@aleken Why did you post your message on all episodes? You're wasting internet space.

[PrimoProFilms]

@aleken You don't go out much, do you? Are you aware of the state of the people of North Korea? How corrupt the government is? How retarded your statement is?

[IamNotaThreat]

@aleken i somewhat agree with you. his tone is a bit condescending and comes off as arrogance.

[eggfleece]

how does a nation become so retarded?

[TheTollundWoman]

@eggfleece

They aren't "retarded", they're simply trying to survive. people are publicly executed for even the slightest dissent against the government, if one person is suspected of opposing the communist regime his entire family will be sent to a concentration camp. over 40% of the population is starving. Kim jong il is EVIL

[SmilingWhileInsane]

The goosestepping may look silly to us, but anyone who has ever lived under such conditions sees the boot of oppression crashing into their face.

[mlcoo17]

Behold the initiators of the final modern war. Remember that they have nuclear weapons. As Einstein said, " The fourth world war will be fought with sticks and stones ".

[MatrixSaturation]

Brave future little Nazis in North Korea. I wonder who is financing them...

[bigchicken24]

@MatrixSaturation China

[Hypster123]

@MatrixSaturation probly the fed LOL

[OdeToNecrophilia]

this show sucks

[GodlessInfinity]

I'm not the only one who sees their little toy soldiers and thinks "Wow, they look ridiculous"

[Secundas]

Impressive marching! No doubt hard won by many accidental kicks in the ass during basic training.

[t1234wbz]

WTF is a Korear? lol

[boltergun]

well still better then liberia

[Probablyacowtbh]

Kim's like a modern day Pharaoh, just rather paunchy looking and rather bonkers.

[UltimateVenom]

i like the part when those people controlled a whole nation for exploitation, weapons development and personal means.

[aluisious]

I like how they told him not to point, and the first thing he does is point at everything. Brilliant!

[SteveSmith26]

I bet most North Koreans are sick of that poor communist shithole that their country is, and would gladly join South Korea if they learn about the conditions of living there. That's why to win the war against North Korea, all you have to do is quickly destroy the government.

[CounterPwn]

@SteveSmith26

Not saying youre wrong. I just want you to be aware thats the exact same mentality we had going into the middle east when we took out saddam. We thought they'd realize theyre living in a shithole and would open thier arms to change.

Boy were we wrong.

[SteveSmith26]

@CounterPwn This is completely different. There was never any hope for Iraq to become a first-world country. Iraq is uncivilized and there is nothing to do with it. On the other hand, South Korea is a very advanced economy with high standards of living. North Koreans are pretty much like the South Koreans, except they are hold in an opressive prison. North Korea also has a lot of defectors. North Koreans are probably sick of their government, only they can't speak or they are killed.

[WEREFEAT]

Ah yes, the power of the Masses vs. the power of Weapons of Mass Destruction.

[NWONEWSNOW]

The tunnels weren't built by the North Korean military. They were built by people trying to escape North Korea. LOL. "The CIA" found them!! HAHAHAHAAAAA!!!

[gp4nut]

This presenter is such a dick. Thinks he's cool but he's a prat.

[BritishRG]

This is what happens to those who eat DOG meat and fuck each other for too many years. Just like some large family owned business here in the US.

[lakeeriejew]

Does the old bastard wear anything but grey pajamas?

I understand he's got more whores than even Hefner in his mansions.

[Iceberqe]

@lakeeriejew you know thats a part of communism. at some point, everybody gets fucked in the ass. even the bosses.

[jantsik112]

@lakeeriejew

yeah... a whole country

[makkavelli69]

Hitler would have had a hard boner, if he could see this flying step march

[D3mang3l]

North Korea - A whole country that reminds you of your grandmothers purse... Tacky old, cheap, full of shit that's barely edible and smells like medicine and old perfume.

Nice.

[maxdamagus]

@D3mang3l why would anything in your grandmothers purse be 'edible' at all?

[D3mang3l]

@maxdamagus point taken ;)

[lvdmonstarr]

Norht Korea Best Korea

[norkkron]

NORTH KOREA STRONG

[RebelElite]

Oh shit if we invade their careers they will use their arms to stop us

[NOUFGT]

Man I wish this guy could have spoken the fuck up. Turning up my volume to hear him and then being deafened by music isn't very fun.

[Cornholio1776]

at :15 the little man with glasses is plumb cute

[jack6565]

All they need to do now is pay for some combat training instead of marching lessons.

[Nightbreed24]

I bet they have medals on the legs of their trousers too.

Seriously, WTF is up with all those medals? Brezhnev was modest compared to these guys.
