''The Adventures of Kim Jong Un'' is a series of Website/CollegeHumor web animations chronicling the fictional [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin adventures of]] UsefulNotes/NorthKorea's dictator and his RobotBuddy. The series claims to be written and directed by Kim Jong-un himself and resembles a combination of pro-North Korean propaganda and personal WishFulfillment, with Un portrayed as a MartyStu ruling over a shining {{Utopia}} and foiling [[UsefulNotes/BarackObama Barack]] [[HarmlessVillain Obama]]'s evil capitalist plans with ease.
The first episode, simply titled "The Adventures of Kim Jong Un," was posted on May 9, 2012, and the series officially came to a close with the second part of "Kim Jong Un vs. Kim Jong Il" on April 3, 2014.
See UsefulNotes/TheRulersOfNorthKorea for information on the real-life North Korean government.
