  • Can't believe people are complaining about these guys. If he had been a model Korean for the duration, they STILL would have HATED him. They have been INDOCTRINATED. This is a military regime with brutal leaders and you're worried about how PC a Sex Pistols song was?

  • johnny rotten dont know kim chee!!!!

  • Its funny but all the spectacle put on by the North Koreans totally reminds me of Disney World. Kind of like the Presidents hall where they give you a quick history of the United States. I get that weird feeling that I have to wonder are we both talking about the same thing?

  • great documentary!

  • this dickhead went to north korea just to say how crappy they are and how awesome the US is.

  • Kinda like that Tom Green show when he visited Japan.

  • this guy sucks at karaoke

  • @timmonk47 No - he's just being a jerk for the sake of being a jerk. If he'd done karaoke in the states, would he have been a big a jerk. Not likely - he's just concreting more reasons why N Korea should hate outside influences - because we're all asses who comes in and just make fun of their culture! I can understand wanting to do documentary, but just out right screaming a song just to show off how upset you are at their culture - yeah, that'll show them who's better!

  • @actracts Any argument is redundant by the fact that you take the side of north koreans oppressive regime over loud-mouth American dickholes...yeah they're both not the best thing in the world but one is clearly a much more viable living situation than the other...have a guess which smart ass.

  • Id wipe my ass with North Korea!...id even shit on kim jung gooks face and then fart in his mouth! what a fukn depressing country! All Hail to the Greatest natikn in the world!!! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

  • @fellini1973691 USA can wipe my ass too. Same shit, different wrapping.

  • @fellini1973691

    hahaha, usa, rated #29

  • the people of Koreeer...bunch of Gooks!

  • I'm a bit disappointed by Shane's portrayal, could've done better. He keeps saying how the average Korean hate us, not sure they do, they probably care more about peace and have little thought of us, just like we dont really care about them. Then he says how weird everything is, when it's really easily explained as just being propaganda by the state that's frequently destined for the Koreans themselves to get their support! It's too bad he makes the differences bigger than they really are.

  • @Renegen1 He's been there have you? i would trust his opinion because hes been there not some dude on his comp just guessing

  • The way this guy "sings" is so disrespectful, he should've been kicked out of the country( and I mean ANY country). It's disgusting, sounds like throw up. No wonder everyone hates Americans around the world, many are so arrogant. I mostly dislike being called honey by strangers and the SUPERFAKE " how are you".

  • @Tihbialdunav have you heard the sex pistols? that's basically how johnny rotten sings the song

  • @WrecklessCrewTV , I see, but this guy is acting quite inappropriately in conservative NK.

  • those karakoke girls are hot! I would marry one of them, and take them away from north korea

  • seasoned dog! eugh. 

  • they thought he was gonna rip that mic apart...

  • Those karaoke people are scared shitless

  • There's absolutely no reason to be an asshole about it. Perhaps it might be better to represent the West in a more positive way if you actually want to make an impression on them.

  • Just image what would happen if they heard dubstep

  • Captivating to watch. Thank you Shane and all involved for bringing this to us.

  • They looked at him like he was Crazy,,!! They never heard Punk,,,i feel sorry for them,,You don't think about it when you come from the States,,!!?? If we are not careful that is where we are headed,!

  • Very much enjoyed - Although, I will say in this last part, Shane's rationale that unless you're 100% americanised than you're not "normal" and/or out of this world appears to me as weak... Also, I do wish his narration throughout all parts would have taken more of an objective, less sarcastic & mockumentary approach ... but who knows, maybe there is no other way to describe this place. Solid work.

  • @rockdamic Shane's Canadian

  • Comment removed

  • @7barbs7 just because he's Canadian doesn't mean he can't be ''Americanized''. Most of the modern world is.

  • @rockdamic this is made for people who should give a shit but don't give a shit he is trying to present it out to them more easily

  • @rockdamic shane is canadian

  • @phuknewt fag

  • @gardner90125 Well that makes sense. Way to be rational.

  • @phuknewt

    Which claims. . .that the citizens of North Korea are starving to death? yes I can. That there are secret concentration camps. . .yes I can.

  • @phuknewt

    Pay for it? What are you talking about. I would hate to go to North Korea. Anyone with a brain would. I'm done suffering fools and this conversation, last reply.

  • @phuknewt

    @phuknewt

    What a crappy analogy.

    people criticize Obama and Wall street all the time, Yes you can get peppersprayed by rogue cops for protesting. in PRNK you are just shot and dumped in a ditch or taken to a secret concentration camp, just for saying something moderately disparaging about the "great" leader of their 1 party government. Stop acting like it's even a comparison.

    The world is much more nuanced then that. Try being a little more rational.

  • hahaha,not the best example of western music....I would sing them a nice old Russian WWII song( "На Безымянной Высоте" Дмитрий Хворостовский ) ,it would be closer to what they know:) or at least a nice little traditional Bulgarian stuff...

  • Malcolm Mclaren would be SO PROUD.

  • @phuknewt

    Because they are starving and killing their people. Because they are forcing them to believe in delusions.

    Criticism is healthy and very much needed in North Korea, Lack of criticism is how monsters are made.

  • Singing "Anarchy in the UK" in N.K.!!! Freakin' awesome!!!! That man rules!!

  • Holy shit this whole documentary freaked me out big time. I can't even imagine having to grow up in North Korea. It just seems like some big nightmare. It's hard to believe that this is real.

  • yes, the girls are hot ,, its because they are not corupted by fast food and other crap we have here, if NK is liberated and becomes a " free" country , the weight of their women will skyrocket , and the men will start to die in cancer and heart diseases..

  • @Robomatic1000 Die IN cancer? How do you die IN cancer? Sounds gross... It's also called "heart disease" not "heart diseases". I suspect you're not American, and are jealous.

  • @Robomatic1000 ...as apposed to dying of torture, starvation and curable diseases.

  • @Robomatic1000 then how come ppl are skinny in japan then you idiot

  • At least they've never been exposed to Justin Bieber or Rebecca Black.

  • nice way to wrap it up. The punk rock singing about anarchy made me scared for his life... really... but I like how he mentioned the absence of culture and the perspectives of him and the north koreans.

  • i fapped twice during this doc.

  • Well, at least, they're not corrupted by Western garbage.

  • @Enkil60 nope, they're corrupted by North Korean dictatorship garbage instead

  • Alot of these people are no doubt dying on the inside, including the 'minders', yes, some will be brainwashed but you can tell some of them are fed up but at the same time utterly terrified not just for themselves but also their families so they play along, sad.

  • Very nice documentary and even for me as a non-native speaker easy to understand.

  • Excellent documentary, thank you

  • Man some of those chicks were hot!! The Tea lady was pretty hot, but then you're quickly reminded how bat shit crazy those people are, really sad. That said, welcome to communism!

  • "iii am an anarchist" lol...that was hilarious

  • Fruck Yrou Alrec Balrwin

  • Kareer

  • Holy crap, singing this song at the end of that documentary was really the icing on the cake for this whole thing O.O :D

    Such weird stuff, and ended the most weird way it could end: A white american person singing a punk rock song on a half-south-korean karaoke machine, singing it to people who have never even imagined that this kind of music could exist. And this white american devil is screaming and the people want to flee, but they cant cause they are forced to stay an act happy.

    Holy...!

  • North Korea:

    -Makes life hell for its people through oppression, starvation, torture.

    United States:

    -Makes life hell for other countries' people by supporting regimes who oppress, starve and torture their people, with the occasional genocide thrown in.

    Yeah, I think the US is way worse than North Korea.

  • @Matroska29 Why don't you go work in North Korea and see if you mind will be changed.

  • THE GREAT READER OF KOREAR!!!!

  • They didn't have fucking blues

  • North Korea, the top living hell in the entire world.

  • @Hellu235Sing

    Nah, that (dis)honor probably belongs to some African country.

  • I bet he lost a few pounds on that trip.

  • lol at my username

  • It's amazing that a place like this exists anywhere, even on this planet. What would aliens think if they came along and found this shit. Would they be baffled? Could they be baffled? It blows my mind on so many levels.

  • Wait... they don't have punk rock? I'd say that makes them lucky...

  • Pause at 0:13,it says "-.-"!

  • korear you so crazy

  • Gordon should do a kitchen nightmares episode in that restaurant.. Get them back on their feet hehe..

  • Lol, he most definitely lived to tell this because the NK guides thought that he was making himself and America look bad (read: drunken idiots). He gets a shot in at their culture and makes it out alive...smart, extremely smart.

  • I bet he's the first person to sing The Sex Pistols in NK

  • LOL, look how uncomfortable they look when he's singing that song.

  • This is one of the most intense things I have ever seen. It doesn't get any more real than this.

  • What Vice? No Gambling, prostitution, or drugs?

  • Communism is the future. Try actually reading the communist manifesto. One last thing conservatives are to narrow minded and selfish. Bring on the dislikes.

  • @smeghead777

    Lol @ childish communists always assuming the only people who dislike their shitty, murderous ideology are conservatives. Wait, childish communist? Isn't that redundant? Oh, yes, it is redundant: all communists are manchildren!

  • @Ragedhard murderous ideologies are not of communism. murder ideologies are of the communist. Communism is not a type of government. It is simply a theory.

  • @Ragedhard Chuckling smugly at extremist ideology being mocked by an extremist ideologue.

  • @smeghead777 True communism isn't possible because people are incapable of being equal. Once a dispute happens that cannot be resolved, an empowered arbitrator is required and the equality vanishes.

    Democratic socialism is possible and practical, though, especially now that networked computer databases can cut down bureaucracy and paperwork.

  • @smeghead777 I read the manifesto, some things of note, kill the Jews, enslave blacks, oh, and that spaniards are degenerate, and that mexicans are degenerate spaniards....yeah....

    /themoreyouknow

  • wow be grateful for everything everyone who live not there for there they know not what we all of us have here in the world...

  • I love how they call themselves Socialist and Democrats interchangeably.

  • Sincere respect for singing anarchy in the UK on karaoke!

    Higlhy informative documentary, thank you :)

  • One of the greatest documentaries on North Korea that I've seen!

  • @milootis10 how many have you seen? Could you put me onto another one please

  • @milootis10 i have seen another with a guy that escaped one of the slave camps and he talks about how horrible it was in there

  • @milootis10 The only real documentary on North Korea that exists.

  • @milootis10 I agree !

  • LOL, America is not as free as it used to be

  • How did these crazy fucks even get in to office?!

  • Comment removed

  • interesting that the word for "cuisine" (you can see it on the sign at 0:44) is spelled differently in North Korea than it is in South Korea

  • i want what he's having...seasoned dog mmm

  • Throw an unknowing guy in there and film his every move. Instant Truman Show.

  • This guy had balls of steel to sing "Anarchy in the UK" in north korea and get out alive! Just think what would have happened if they figured it our before he left... if they ever figured it out.

  • i wonder if they ate anything at all for those seven days lol

  • the title anarchy in NK made me had mad hope..

    just to realize it was because of that song...

    god damn

  • Rong riv greet reader Kim Jong-Il an de peepers of Career.

  • what i've learned from this series: (1) if ever considering purchasing a large flattering monument of myself, order from North Korea, (2) don't expect any angry responses typical of your insulting remarks about a country that isn't America, because this country doesn't have internets, and (3) don't go to North Korea.

  • the tea girl was awesome

  • first thing they did when the got home was get a cheese burger.

  • korear

  • He sure got balls when singing Anarchy in the NK :P

  • ANARCHY!!!!

  • north koreer is best koreer

  • @kersonearound Lol Floor bacon is best bacon

  • Do you think his guards got hell over this? I mean, NK surely browses through western media. Imagine how pissed the party were if they found out that one of their tourists made a documentary...

  • Wow! The guy's right. A Marxist time portal. PS: I also love Tea Girl.

  • hahaha hillarious, this guy is rocking through out all the video parts, best of all DPRK visit videos on yt.

  • Kim Jong Ill is watching you.

  • This guy's visit to NK is the same as the others I've seen in videos. I mean everything is the same. They have a set system for visitors, and they act as if they're the only modern place on Earth. It's pathetic.

  • I love you, tea girl and I shall return for you!!!

  • NK is out of date!

  • Thanks for uploading, good documentary. Except you only see what they want you to see. There is a lot more of messed up shit happening in there.

  • so scared for his life when he was singing that song..

  • All I can say is wow. You never really appreciate what you have.... then you see this.

  • This guys is THE DUDE!

  • very interesting documentary. after seeing their society and way life, i feel sorry for these people. it's the 21 st Century but they're still in the 20th

  • if these people had access to the internet shit would be way different, Way Different.

  • it would be worth bombing the shit out of them to free all those hot chicks like tea girl

  • try to see this video about North Korea: The Red Chapel - trailer

    /watch?v=1aQRC_4LheY

  • "the land that time forgot" awesome

    also I loved the sex pistols performance, well done video all around

  • i just got done watching all 14 videos and these ppl are FUCKED! 

  • i bet they all fuck like rabbits and in a perverse way while at it.

    i mean you re poor what else you gonna do but fuck.

    poor mans fun

  • i've watched all 14 videos for the eery, mystical, but hella scary NK.

    but mostly, i've watched it for the comments.

  • Beautiful how he's ending the trip with singing Anarchy in the UK. Just beautiful. That guy is my hero.

  • "I wanna be your anarchy-"

    Hahahahahahahaha

  • Why do I have the feeling that sex pistols was just a really bad choice

  • @MrChupacabraLoco You make me embarrassed to be American. People like you give this country, which is lovely but not perfect, a horrible name. Just stop.

  • @MrChupacabraLoco You're pathetic

  • He's a convincing Johnny Rotten!

  • @MrChupacabraLoco

    Says the guy who said "commie fag fest"

    I also bet that you hate muslims, non-whites, and non-christians as well.

    And if you can even consider the republican party "grown ups" then you are indeed fucking retarded. Take a history course, every single time a republican president was in power, they set a new debt record.

  • north korea is best korea

  • I knew it, stupidity is an indispensable part of communism.

  • @mindprism

    You mean corruption in part of the government. If there was no corruption, communism would work.

    Hell, corruption is what capitalism is: people fucking eachother over for more money. Why do you think our government sucks so much? Because corporations and political parties put themselves over the people, therefore screwing the country.

  • @Uberman7788 {corruption is what capitalism is: people fucking eachother over for more money}

    Capitalism works without pointing guns at people, communism requires it.

  • I only wish you could bring cameras into Kim Il-Sung's mausoleum and film it. That place is more bizarre than anything in this series of videos. Anyway - great series of videos and good to have viewed it again. I heart youtube!!!

  • "Man is never truly free unless government is limited" Ronald Reagan.

  • @Sumoto999 man is never truely free unless there is no government.

  • @Sumoto999 Yet he increased the deficit and governent and medicare lol. The Laffer Curve is a complete joke and failure.

  • @Sumoto999 lol @ ronald reagan quote.

  • Comment removed

  • omfg he got to sing sex pistols anarchy in the uk in north korea! thats something i gotta put on my bucket list

  • Great (and brave) documentary...The amazing thing is, there are people living in the most free-living society in the world- the United States, who worship at the alter of Mao and Marx... we should send the Communist Party U.S.A. on a paid (one way ticket) vacation to North Korea...

  • @freestaterevolution North. Korea. Is. Not. Communist. I want you to point me to the line in The Communist Manifesto that glorifies great leaders or says that what's happening in NK is okay.

  • @freestaterevolution ROFL you think the US is 'the most free-living society in the world'? Try 'most free-living country situated between Canada and Mexico', that would be more accurate.

  • @jonobong You mean Canada?

  • @1230986666 I said Canada so yes, I mean Canada. Why is that hard to understand?

  • One of the most entertaining documentaries I've ever seen. Can't believe he came guns a blazin with the Sex Pistols

  • @mjordan1998 nice little fuck you from the SKoreans via the Sex Pistols. :p

    *CL*

  • thst sucks to live in a country where all your life only have 2 options , workship a fake god and hate the world

  • @thegeneraltheory

    Did you or the people that blindly liked your comment watch any of the documentary? There's your fuckin evidence.

  • 2:51 girls in NK are conservative,she does not want the guy's hand to put on her shoulder..lol

  • @flyciding but the girl is quite pretty, dont you think?

  • @benbond003 yeah,she is pretty,but i dont like her that much..

  • Americans are so fucking stupid it's unreal. "Hey!! We're not imperialist pigs! How dare you say that?' 'Fuck yeah dude, let's show them we're not by starting yet another war there, kick their asses and assassinate their leader!! That'll show them we're the good guys!'

  • @jonobong your right, let dictators be dictators. fuck oppressed people. whats going on is perfectly ok and who is any one to say other wise especially if your American! am i right? is that your thinking and rationality? just chop the head and feed the people rather then blow them up is the way i see it. once they see the world as it is it wont be hard to convince them they were lied to. where are your from? and how do you get that we dont have an education?

  • @muaythaijunky There are other ways than waging war to help oppressed people. A war with NK would likely result in the deaths of many thousands, perhaps millions, of (innocent) people. Given the choice between being a bit hungry or being dead, I'd pick being hungry. At least then there would be some hope for the future.

  • @jonobong There is no hope for the future without war. Yes, war would have necessary sacrifices but could introduce North Korea to first world civilization.

    If you think a country where the people are impoverished peasants who can barely eat and die of basic illnesses are going to change, especially when they think their leader is literally a living god then you know nothing. No outside media, no way to challenge their world view.
