Kim Jong-il (Team America: World Police)

Kim Jong-il is the infamous dictator of North Korea and due to the many controversies in his real-life rule has been the continual target of parody and satire - one of the most famous examples of which was the altered version of Kim Jong-il seen in Team America.

A spoof of popular puppet shows such as Captain Scarlet and the Thunderbirds Team America merged the usual shock-humor and wit of its South Park creators with political satire to create a fictional world based on (and ridiculing) recent world history.

In the alternative world of Team America Kim Jong-il is a secret supporter of a vast terrorist organization and sought to incite World War III (also known as Armageddon) - he believed that only the strong deserved to live and that he would be doing the world a favor by causing mass death and destruction.

However it was also revealed, through a now famous song, that this version of Kim Jong-il was also driven to his intense hatred of humanity due to an immense feeling of loneliness and rejection - which resulted in him developing a multitude of personality disorders.

Although he came close to achieving his goals in the end of the film this version of Kim Jong-il was apparently killed in a confrontation with Team America - only for it to be revealed (undoubtedly for comedic effect) that he was actually an alien cockroach.

Exposed as an alien Kim Jong-il proceeded to fly off into space - swearing to return some day.

Trivia

 * The real life Kim Jong-il is known to be an avid movie-viewer - he reportedly asked the Czech Republic to ban the film, to this date however he has never publically spoken of his feelings about the film and likely never will.
