Horrid Kim Jong Un Statue 😭

Next story: John Casterline redraws the map between folding-iPhone updates

Cristiano Ronaldo's much-discussed bronze likeness has an unlikely companion in John Casterline's most-watched new upload: a bizarre statue supposedly unveiled for Kim Jong Un.

John zooms in on the face, makes the Ronaldo comparison, then inspects the expressions of the people in the viral picture. The essential qualification arrives within seconds: the image isn't real. This is commentary on a fake unveiling, not footage of an actual North Korean ceremony.

That Short drew roughly 4.4 million views, the largest audience among his new uploads this week. It was part of a packed run that also included "What is happening in Chicago 😭", "roblox just ruined the world…" and two GTA 6-themed titles, one about vandalizing artwork and another juxtaposing a prison sentence with the game's release.

The latter, "Life in prison right before GTA 6 comes out 😭", remains among the channel's busiest videos right now. A newer upload titled "North Korea changed their flag…" is drawing the most daily views, while "Cows are taking over a city 😭" is also gathering attention.

John added subscribers over the week, though his current daily views are below their usual level. That's a pattern shared by commentary peers penguinz0 and Ozzy Man Reviews, whose daily viewing is also slower than usual. Across John's catalog, the week nevertheless brought about 67 million views, with GTA anticipation and strange viral images supplying plenty of his new material.
