Damn fact boy! Bit of a rehash this one.
Normally I would HATE when someone does sponsor spots for these pay to win bullshit crap games but don't care as much here..
But if you do these you might as well take that shadow legends money 💰
Conflict of nations... for when i want to continue the news segment while gaming.
North Korea has a haircut menu but Simon can't order anything on that menu.
And a huge shoutout to our sponsor today... Keeps!
💀💀💀
Ok this made me laugh
I guess I can't either, because I have a shaved head and a goatee 🤣
Maybe they have complimentary wigs for the follicley challenged.
only in north korea could someone say "what are you, the fashion police?" and get an unironic "yes" in response
Where being imprisoned by the fashion Police IS something to fear.
Not only North Korea, there's also Afghanistan, large parts of China, Iran, Saudi Arabia (And probably a few others I'm forgetting)
Iran also have fashion police.
But the fashion police are a secret police
Also in Iran or Saudi Arabia, but just for women.
Seasons changed at his birth? Sure. New star? Ok. Eleven holes-in-one? Fine. Operas? Novels? Possibly. Walking-talking eight month old? Absolutely. But bro did not invent the hamburger.
Yeah, I was all in on the accomplishments, but inventing the hamburger was where he lost me.
"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament." -- Dr. Evil
Sorry. It was the first thing that came to mind.
As a german i sadly have to inform all of you that we actually stole the hamburger idea from north korea.
The whole gig with the city called hamburg... it's all just lies to cover up our diet consisting of sauerkraut and nothing else.
Guy sounds a lot like Trump’s ridiculous nonsense….
@patpierce4854 no. Sounds like the media covering for biden. Biden has been the biggest disaster and failure ever and the media says he is doing a good job.
Those actors were really lucky to get a chance to escape. The poor teenagers though💔😢
"North Korea's golf course." Note the singular. Just one golf course. 🤣
One ski hill too
One more than any of us own
And it's a public one to boot.
@@bdrenfro 'public' in socialist dictatorships tends to mean something other than it does in the west and elsewhere.
@@Zurvan101how so?
Kind of funny how the sponsor was “conflict of nations” does that ring a bell?
Just a happy little coincidence, am i right?
@@Mart77 Ssems so
That hair pamphlet is some dictator level of trolling
The Fashion Police is the better Ultimate Dictatorial Trolling! 😂
The most insane, trolling part is how King Jong-Un's own haircut is NOT one of the approved hairstyles, lol. Only HE is allowed to have that style.
@@MatthewTheWanderer it was also called the Chinese smugglers haircut by a news outlet once
@@jesseincognito. What was? Kim Jong-Un's haircut?
@@MatthewTheWanderer yeah
There are only three Ron Swanson approved haircuts: 1. High and Tight, 2. Crew Cut, 3. Buzz Cut. Are the sissors in your house broken son?
*Scissors
I tried cutting my own hair once. Never again!
@@MatthewTheWanderer Me too! on that day I learned why people who work with hair have professional scissors..
@@ItsAweeb Lol. When I tried cutting my own hair, I ended up missing several small spots.
He Also does not poop. I ,no pun indented, shit you not. An escaped north Korean women gave an interview and that was one of the things she says that she used to believe. She said that he was so perfect that he used energy with amazing efficiency to the point where he did not have any waste or poop.
Kim Jong Il also invented the toilet, the hamburger, and the Internet. True story.
Thats a hilariously amazing concept for a fictional character
Wow! He would make the perfect patient. Imagine never having to break your back from putting patients on and off the bedpan.
North Korean defectors will say whatever they’re told to make some money.
Well, of course angels don’t take dumps, so why would the Divine Leader?
Wait. You mean, "Team America: World Police" and "The Interview" have never been shown (legally) in North Korea? Shocking!
Why would he invent the hamburger when the vast majority of his people cannot eat one anyway?
Yo'ud think that hamburgers, just like jeans, would be considered the very epitome of Western capitalism. So claiming that he invented them seems rather strange.
@@reddwarfer999maybe it's a type of "I'll show those dirty capitalists by fooling my people that I invented it first!" Type deal
@@reddwarfer999 I think the idea was that he claims to have invented them so that other Koreans don't think he's being a hypocrite for eating them.
@@nathangamble125 The Kims don't seem very concerned with being seen as hypocrites, lol. Otherwise, they'd allow other people to copy their hairstyles and fashion.
"My father would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark..." -Kim Jong Un
Is that who grandpa simpson is modelled after
I was scrolling too long for this
Simon is just BURSTING with nutrients.
He also invented jet engines, electric lights and the Technicolor film process!
1976-1977, I was in South Korea...Camp Casey to be exact.
We got propaganda leaflets from the North on the regular...they were pretty funny!
My favorite were the oversized $10 bills..."Bring this to the North and get a real Ten Dollars!"
Yep, people just swarming to defect for ten bucks...
“Seemed short and sent to a labor camp.” Me at 5’4, “I am now tall”
Simon is so big brained because he doesnt have any hair on his head sucking up his precious nutrients
Nah, his beard does that, instead. Notice how no one in North Korea seems to have a beard?
The hair thing explains why you have the energy to do all these videos
Ever wonder how many times a week Great Leader wakes up at night in a raging cold sweat, from nightmares of Simon Whistler...
He's mad because he couldn't make SW stick to the haircut menu even if he could get him to come visit.😂😂😂
Honestly. Mullets should be outlawed everywhere.
Zoomer broccoli tops for all!
try to the players of the NHL "no mullets allowed". I believe you will find yourself engaged in fisticuffs.
😂
Same with K-pop....
@@phaslow4393
being russian should be illegal in the USA.
Conflict of nations... he finally caved to the fremium gaming sponsors.
I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time.
I noticed that "bald" was not offered on the haircut menu; does that mean Simon, as a North Korean would be expelled?
Expelled from North korea isn't really an option ...
Three seconds in North Korea Simon would quip about something and would immediately be put in front of a firing squad. Then they'd jail him for being bald.
@@freddiemercury2075 They expel you from your life instead.
@@MosoKaiser"Killed, or worse... expelled"
Bald people get sent to prison, probably.
Legend has it Kim Jong Un doesn't pee or poop either, but he once sharted during a live interview, shortly before getting blown up in a helicopter while Katy Perry's 'Firework' was being played.
Well they hate us cuz they ain’t us
I'm glad you contextualized everything at the end. A lot of videos about how silly North Korea is fail to bring up how abjectly horrific it all is - in spite of the hilarity
When short on ideas there's always North Korea to fall back on.
It is sad to think that right now, the people of North Korea are suffering at the hands of what I'd basically organized crime. I hope the people achieve liberty in their lifetime. Life under a tyrant is no life. I hope we in the USA don't have to find this out the hard way. 🙏🏻🙏🏻☮️ ☮️
Don’t believe everything you hear about DPRK
One of our two major candidates has expressed admiration for Kim Jong-Un, so…
@@gregbors8364that's the truly sad thing.
@gregbors8364 the only way he wins is if the russian troll farms convince progressives not to vote.
I use to support Trump because of his anti China stance, but you can't vote a guy who encourages Russia to attack your ally just because they don't pay you enough.
Imagine getting kidnapped by a crazy third World dictatorship, and then when you think things can't get any worse they lock you up with your ex.
“The American scoundrels are about to start a war against us. Will we be able to defeat them?”
No. Absolutely not. You’re doomed if you do.
Every time this man pops up on my recommended, its with a new channel, what a guy
Welcome to the Whistlerverse.
For a brief moment I though Simon was doing a collaboration with Max Millers Tasting History channel due to the thumbnail looking remarkably like Waffles 😂 Sadly no waffles, but I am sure this is as mesmerizing in a way only Simon can pull off...
Sadly, Simon Whistler doesn't do collabs.
Love that bald isn't on the menu 😂
Without actually seeing the golf course, I can’t agree that eleven holes-in-one is ridiculous.
Another "funny" propaganda they do is, when the world cup of football (soccer) comes around, even though North Korea doesn't actually get qualified, they show doctored matches showing North Korea winning the cup with like a 11-0 victory (which for anyone who doesn't know is an outrageous score that just doesn't happens in footbal of this level. France's 3-0 victory against Brasil in 1998 is still legendary for this reason). I'm sure they'll be doing the same with the 2024 summer olympics in Paris since they're even scheduled to compete
North Korea actually has qualified for the World Cup twice, in 1966 and 2010. In 1966, they actually won a game and ended up in 8th place. In 2010, they lost every game they played, including one game where they lost 0-7 to Portugal, lol. Not sure how they reported all this to their people, though.
@@MatthewTheWandererwasn't it also played live as well. Got to wonder what they did then.
@@ccman322 They probably didn't let people in North Korea watch it.
Oooh now we get snipbits from the long lost, but not forgotten Business Blaze NorthKorea Skript 🤫
Well played, oh glorious factboy
*Snippets
Damn, I'd love to know how much Simon made for that ad. I know what he's said about Raid Shadow Legends
“Where are you, dear general”.
I see that the "Glorious Leader"'s haircut doesn't appear on that "menu".
Neither does "bald".
I saw Clive James get a hairpiece in his "Postcard from L.A." episode - they called it a "hair unit".
Might be time for a North Korea-approved "hair unit" ay, Simon?
( Just kidding! )
The "Glorious Leader's" haircut is intentionally left off the menu, because only Kim Jong-Un himself is allowed to have it.
1:40 - Chapter 1 - Meet the kims
6:25 - Chapter 2 - Culture control
It’s a 12 minute long video who are these time stamps even for
Elvis Presley hair on the thumbnail! LOL 😂
When I glanced at the thumbnail I thought it was corporate approved hairstyles in USA in the Fifties. I think I saw something in a documentary that mentioned that some time ago. 😂😂😂
So North Korea is in the year 112? That explains a lot.
It would be pretty cool if the first Kim was legitimately a God or Demi-God but his son and grandson have significantly less power. So much less in fact the whole world thinks the first Kim was liar lol
What?
_What?!_
You need to take it easy on the greens man
"You get haircut! Rook rike Moe!!!"
You must have a lot of nutrients than Simon :D, is that how you keep up with so many channels?
Love CON!
We will never know whether or not this is THE North Korean episode.
Mate
This has been done loads
I've seen you do it a few times already...
I tell myself they're just creating a shell game for the eventual video wherein they expound on Kim's mother being Japanese. Like, say more on why it matters.
@@kneau Yeah, somehow, this is the first time I've heard of Kim Jong-Un being half-Japanese.
5:00 - that's almost verbatim what Putin said not that long ago regarding a potential nuclear war between Russia and the US
Imagine you're the most dedicated North Korean citizen, you make sure your approved haircut is PERFECT, but then they add it to the unapproved haircut list and you're executed.
What an interesting ad for this video
Simon! This is like Rage Shadow Legends! Lol
I might need to go to NK to get a decent haircut
Haircut #5 and #27 look identical to me..
Love your videos and often fall asleep to them, but your "s" sounds are often really sharp in the mix
I honestly Dont know how to feel when Simon introduce the sponsor Keeps.
Are these excerts from the infamous BB North Korea video?
How does one find this child eating Godzilla movie made by kidnapped film makers?
On RUclips
I think it’s funny that it’s some kind of allegory of how communism was supposed to help nk but didn’t
I wonder why the escapee at 1:01 even bothered shutting that door...
I was curious so looked up Jongun's mother. Having studied a lot of Korean history, this was the first time I've heard his mother was Japanese. Her name is Ko Yonghui and she was born to a Korean father in Osaka, Japan. This isn't unusual, the Japanese army moved Koreans all over the place so there are Korean descendants in Japan and Uzbekistan. Her mother is supposedly Japanese but I can't find a name. Her father, reportedly Ko Gyontaek. Worked in a sewing factory run by Japan's ministry of war so that definitely didn't win her any points either, whether her father was forced or had no other options or not.
I'm just surprised Kim Ilsung didn't arrange for something tragic to happen to her before she started popping out babies...It isn't like she gave birth to his first grandkids, Kim Jong IL had other children
I always love these North Korea videos. Not often that I get to "What the F" multiple times in such a short span of minutes.
So, the fashion police actually exists, who knew.
Those cuts go kinda hard though 🥵
4:40 thats a lot coming from someone who's military could be convinced to turn on him with a box of slim jims and a happy meal
Has anyone ever wondered how wild would Kim's LinkedIn profile be? Inventor of cheeseburger, world's best golfer, grandson of god etc...
On the subject of haircuts a while ago a barber in I believe London put up an ad for his business taking the mickey out of Kim Jong Un's haircut. Soon after he was visited by two men from the Korean Embassy demanding he take it down or they'd have him arrested for disrespecting the dear leader. The barber told them to take a hike which eventually they did and presumably later they called the police who presumably also told them to take a hike. While that story is funny to me it also sums up just how consumed by propaganda they are that these guys thought they could walk up to a business in a foreign country and start throwing their weight around. Must have been a shock to the system for the two "officials" when they didn't get there way and I can't imagine it was any fun explaining it to their bosses.
Damn it's been a fucking long time since Simon last had a video game ad
Very heavy, nearly as restricted as Scotland and Canada.
I just tried conflict of nations but I cant even get past the tutorial.
3:22 North Korea’s golf course? Like singular? Does North Korea have one single golf course? Idk why but that’s a funny thought
I’m the smartest, most crever, most physicarry fit; but no one erse seems to rearize it..
In North Korea they have the Kim's,in America we have Kim Kardashian. I'm curious if they would make a trade straight across? If N. Korea needs an incentive, maybe I could start a GoFundMe.
how many channels does this man has?
At least 4 that I know of and follow
skip to 55 seconds to skip ad
I skipped the promo; I'm too old to spend time on that shit. 😜😜
9:11 'Nile'istic; that is Nile as in the river.
No. Both pronunciations are acceptable.
@@willmurphy4073 I have never heard it pronounced the way he did. Is it a British English vs American English thing? Just curious.
It eould sldo take the general public (who are not in the capital) months to watch a single movie as they only have moments of electricity throughout the year.
I do appreciate that he gets that ad bullshit out of the way
ive always wondered how can one man control the masses?
He doesn't. He uses others who are willing to do the dirty work.
Shouldn't Conflict of Nations sponsor War-O-graphics? Seems a natural fit...
I genuinely feel bad for the people of North Korea as they are suffering.
1:35 meet the Kim's
6:18 culture control
Clearly they've cured baldness because it's not one of the approved styles. Just sayin'.
can you prove any of this supreme leader?
trust me bro- the kims probably lol
I don't think they do, at least not completely. I think they really believe that they are that superior and that they are entitled to lead and be worshiped only the way a god or king would be. I think all of us not in that chaos can see the BS for what it is. But if you were perpetually brainwashed in that environment, "green" will become "blue" and you wouldn't even notice it.
Today's North Korea video brought to you by a World Word 3 game..
It's insane how many of these are also done by the mormon church! 😂
Fun fact; Kim Il Sung was born on the day the Titanic sunk, April 15, 1912
Jeans arent banned in nk. Or at least not anymore. If u go to nk for whatever reason, u'll see the nk citizens wearing jeans and nike shoes in the streets
Yeah lol like they'd let you see actual citizens
@@SetiSupreme look it up, its not hard to find on RUclips. The info its scarce in the west cos its hard for westerners go to nk. But look up 朝鮮旅行, u'll find recent vids of japanese or chinese tourists visiting nk. Look for an hr long vid that posted 8 months ago. In that video guy secretly took footage of ppl in the streets, and even broke down of their fashion(in chinese). But you would probably say those are all actors. Its like the movie the interview 24/7 over there
@@jayciii29they only let people go to approved areas and monitor them 24/7. So yeah ...
I would never go to a dangerous place like north Korea because of the hair style policy
The funny thing is that the North Korean "skin fade" style haircut has become quite popular all around the world.
👀 jvn cameo
*The 1976 tree chopping caused allot of NK's paranoia* As if that single tree hid entire battalions, one of the largest trees left over from the Korean Wars and winters, surviving being cut into fire wood all those many years, just to be chopped down through a single JSA Jr officer's ego tangent. Some of North Korea's paranoia has roots, in the end leaving no party involved blameless.
@6:01.....I'm ronery.....so ronery.....
The saddest part about this is that there are people here in the west who see the authoritarian dystopia in North Korea and other communist countries both contemporary and historical and think "that's what we need here". Utter madness.
I saw a doc that said the government told the people they won the FIFA World Cup in 1966….even tho that’s not true.
You know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a North Korean man with facial hair.
We’re still doing the haircut thing huh
What about bald men?
Gee ... I can't wait til we get our own dictator and he can tell me how to cut my hair ... hmmm ... wait a minute, I've got the same hairdo as Simon. I guess it's the gulag for us.
Don't worry, trump is not going to win.
Super short is kind of "in" in the GULAG.
When governments/regulations starts to get too intrusive, it gets sad long before it gets funny, in Japan most of the schools have strict code of appearance that includes clothing and hair color and student underwear color, one girl with naturally brown hair was forced by the school to dye her hair black as per the dress code, that caused a chemical burn on the head, the parents sued the school, but nothing came of it as the court in regards to the school rules, however the girl was awarded some compensation.
What’s wrong with a dress code again? Not your country.
@@gambitacio Nothing wrong with dress code, per se, but when some pedantic moron start chasing you with a ruler because your this or that is slightly out of whack with their rules, it gets stupid, I am from ex-communist country, guess what, uniforms, check, government sanctioned haircuts, check, beating the snot out of you because you didn't have time to shave in the morning before school, and got stubble, check. I gave the Japanese case as an example because, it is recent, utterly pathetically stupid and makes sense in the head on some god forsaken bureaucrat.
There are schools in the west with dress codes too. Thats fine, its kids in school. They don't control what people wear outside of school. Forced hair dyeing, I don't buy that ...
The irony of being sponsored by conflict of nations for a video about N. Korea lol
