Kim Jong Un Turns Everyone Into Wii NPCs

Text on the meme

Kim Jong Un’s superpower is making people act like Wii Sports NPCs whenever he’s around.

What it means

Kim Jong Un walks through a brightly decorated indoor sports venue while people around him move and react with repetitive, synchronized Wii Sports–style motions. The joke exaggerates the stiff, programmed-looking behavior of the crowd, portraying them as NPCs whose movements are activated whenever he appears. The clip is set to Kazumi Totaka’s “Wii Sports Theme,” whose upbeat, game-like mood makes the North Korean spectacle feel like a bizarre video game scene and strengthens the punchline.
