Are there people that actually think this video is serious? Parody can be dangerous because there will always be segments of the population that won't get the joke. I suppose they thought they dumbed it down enough but apparently not.

I liked how it mentioned the guy was a history student dropout and passionate conspiracy theorist right as it flashes to a poster that says "dokdo is korean territory"

I love it when the CEO guys keeps on saying 'we are original pizza' even when asked if inventing pizza and original pizza were the same thing. His pause was just priceless goes from jovial to straight perplexed and angry. Just like some VP thinking some NET is nuts when asking for something he doesn't agree with.

Anyone who says Koreans can't criticize themselves is plain wrong. I just love how it satires some ridiculous elements of Korean society, something a lot of Korean movie do.

A group of Canadian comedy writers couldn't have done better. Garlic bread bit was classic.


No offense meant. I just watched an old Simpsons where sideshow Bob snuck back into America with a group of Canadian comedy writers for the Jimmy Kimmel Show.

I thought that the Greeks invented pizza (My Big Fat Greek Wedding).
I was wondering while watching this if this was serious because you can find people with strange conspiracy theories, but kept saying to myself this can't be real. I guess it makes sense that it's a commercial:) I was laughing about the garlic bread comment.

I thought it was an excellent satire --- the Koreans poking fun at themselves over their tendency to zealously defend Korea's original and often over-looked contributions to world history.
