Let's play a game! Read the quotes below and decide which ones come from Kim Jong Il's propaganda machine and which ones come from Cobra Commander, feared leader of the secret terrorist organization known as Cobra, and arch-foe to G.I. Joe!

1. We will blast the entirety of your land off the face of the earth withpowerful attack capabilities beyond anything the world can imagine -- a frightful attack beyond anything ever seen or heard!

2. Your time is up! Now, you and your nation will pay for your arrogant refusal to obey me.

3. Citizens of the world: we have a power greater than any in the history of mankind. Look and tremble!

4. We will never miss the chance but certainly make them pay for the blood and turn the stronghold of the enemy into a sea of fire!

5. If we lose, I will destroy the world!

6. You have no hope of resisting our might. We control a new power, the raw strength of nature itself, against which there is no defense. Watch, watch as I unleash the sea and sky to do my bidding!

7. No! Not the spores! No! NOOOOOO!

I was wavering on that last quote... but then I decided to go Kim Jong Il on every count.

For sake of the graphics, I will happily submit. To Kim's propoganda machine, I attribute the following statements: one, three, and four. Cobra Commander gets numbers two, five, six, and seven.

Seven is definitely a tough one, though. I could see either of them shouting such a thing.

There's something funny about the grammar. It's either Konglish-y or cartoon over-the-top. I'd guess Cobra Commander, but I'm not certain. It's the only one I'm not sure about.

2. Your time is up! Now, you and your nation will pay for your arrogant refusal to obey me.

Like all good Jame Bond villains, Cobra Commander loves countdowns.

3. Citizens of the world: we have a power greater than any in the history of mankind. Look and tremble!

Since atomic bombs are the worst Kim Jong-il's got, any boasting about a historic new power has to be attributed to CC.

4. We will never miss the chance but certainly make them pay for the blood and turn the stronghold of the enemy into a sea of fire!

Definitely Kim Jong-il.

5. If we lose, I will destroy the world!

If mass-starvation and economic collapse isn't "losing," I don't know what is. If it's KJI, he should have unleashed his wrath long ago, so CC.

6. You have no hope of resisting our might. We control a new power, the raw strength of nature itself, against which there is no defense. Watch, watch as I unleash the sea and sky to do my bidding!

Yeah, atomic bombs are really "new." CC.

7. No! Not the spores! No! NOOOOOO!

Aren't spores the reason CC wears a mask? CC.

The correct answer, of course, is STARSCREAM.

Strictly speaking that isn't correct. Serpentor is the highest in command.

Kim Jong Il:

1. We will blast the entirety of your land off the face of the earth withpowerful attack capabilities beyond anything the world can imagine -- a frightful attack beyond anything ever seen or heard!

(The Konglishy grammar is a dead giveaway)

3. Citizens of the world: we have a power greater than any in the history of mankind. Look and tremble!

(I suspect he's talking about Juche, the indomitable will of the NK people, or some other such nonsense)

4. We will never miss the chance but certainly make them pay for the blood and turn the stronghold of the enemy into a sea of fire!

(He said this during the nuke crisis of 1994, didn't he?)

7. No! Not the spores! No! NOOOOOO!

(This is so over the top that it must be a real quote put in to throw us off, right? Razz )




Cobra Commander

2. Your time is up! Now, you and your nation will pay for your arrogant refusal to obey me.

5. If we lose, I will destroy the world!

6. You have no hope of resisting our might. We control a new power, the raw strength of nature itself, against which there is no defense. Watch, watch as I unleash the sea and sky to do my bidding!

(I think I saw this episode, where CC invented a machine to control the weather)


Please, tell us quickly, the suspense is killing me!

Unless Kim Jong-il, like many cartoon villains, secretly answers to another evil-doing mastermind who remains hidden for plot purposes.
