Aegukka (North Korea) Parody
Don’t miss my other anthems! So far, the parodies for the UK, Canada, Germany, Norway, France, the US, Russia, Italy, Sweden, China, Japan, Israel and North Korea has been released.
Aegukka (The Patriotic Song) is the national anthem of North Korea. It is also known by the first phrase of the song Ach’imŭn pinnara or “Let Morning Shine.”
Before the founding of North Korea, Korea had as its anthem the current anthem of South Korea, but North Korea adopted this newly-written piece in 1947. The words were written by Pak Seyŏng (박세영; 朴世永; 1902–1989) and the music was composed by Kim Wŏn’gyun (김원균; 金元均; 1917–2002).
I mean no offense to the countries parodied, except in this case. I dislike North Korea. Even though we all know that the government is the problem, the government is so all-present in the nation that the government IS the nation. I would like to see Korea reunited under a democratic regime one day, i.e. that the South Koreans take over.

I do not promise anything, but if you want me to make a parody of YOUR national anthem, your country could be next, given that it is a nation of some international or historical significance. Requests should be made as comments to my videos; i check my PM inbox less often!

Hatikvah (Israel) Parody
First of all: The video does NOT necessarily reflect my opinions on Israel and/or the conflicts in the Middle East. As in ALL my other anthem videos, they reflect common stereotypes about the nation, and are supposed to be sung by a national from the country that is parodied. Since the stereotype is that Israel is jingoistic, the Israeli personification will salute the army.
Because of the controversial nature of the conflict and the fact that many people does not have rational opinions about it, but merely hate one of the sides for different reasons, comments for this video will be moderated for some time. I will however approve of all messages that are not aggressive or with unnecessary use of profanities. I will also probably block comments that are made by people who obviously did not read the video description. Why would anyone post before they read anyway?

Hatikvah (Hebrew: הַתִּקְוָה, lit. The Hope) is the national anthem of Israel. The anthem was written by Naphtali Herz Imber, a secular Galician Jew from Zolochiv, who moved to the Land of Israel in the early 1880s.
When the State of Israel was established in 1948, Hatikvah was unofficially proclaimed the national anthem. However, it did not officially become the national anthem until November 2004, when it was sanctioned by the Knesset in an amendment to the Flag and Coat-of-Arms Law.
I mean no offense to the countries parodied. In fact, most of these countries are my favorites, and I wish them all my best. I have nothing against the Hebrew people or Jews in general; in fact, I admire them and their history. Israel is admittedly not on any of my top lists of nations I like, but they are indisputably the most democratic and financially functioning nation in the region and deserve credit for that.
Regrettably, a typo snuck its way into the movie, but it’s too late to do anything about it now, and I think we can all live with it.

Howard Dean Hosts MSNBC Countdown.
I was just hamming it up a bit when I created this tax and spend political satire in the form of a political cartoon animation. The main character in this non partisan, money wasting cartoon spoof, refers to himself as the Tax Ham. He enjoys wearing a tee that reads I love taxes. Tax Ham is one bad pig who has gone hog wild with power and he is determined to create havoc in Pig Town along with his coconspirators, the Democratic Donkey and the Republican Elephant who spend, spend, spend, tax dollars. This just doesnt stack up with the people of Pig Town. The political trio is out of control when it comes to taxing and spending and if you are a taxpayer, they want your hard earned money too! Of course the trio’s favorite day of the year is April 15th 2010.
