Excited
I’ve always been fascinated by North Korea and Kim Jong Il, so when I came across a recent Angry Asian Man posting of an eHarmony spoof with the famous North Korean dictator, I just had to blog about it. Danny Cho does a terrific job mocking the North Korean dictator – in looks, accent and demeanor. The fact that it also mocks eHarmony’s commercial is just a bonus. Grace Su, who plays the love of Kim Jong Il’s life, does a great job as well.

[...] I could tell during the episode that the actor was a woman, but couldn’t tell who was playing Kim since Cho was wearing sun glasses during the whole episode. Only until the end of the episode did I see the credits at the end that Cho played Kim. I thought she did a great and hilarious job but the funniest portrayal of Kim was in the movie, Team America: World Police, where the puppet Kim sings “I’m So Lonely,” though Danny Cho’s portrayal of Kim in his spoof of an eHarmony ad is pretty great, too.
