It's So Funny

It's So Funny is a North Korean television show. It has been on the air since the 1970s, the start of state programming in North Korea, making it one of the world's longest-running television comedies.[1][2]

The show usually consists of a man and a woman in military uniform and is meant to improve troop morale.[1][2] Critics contend it does nothing more than distribute government propaganda.[2][3]

The format of the show is typically a conversation between a man and a woman in military uniform.[2] The two protagonists sometimes sing, dance and try slapstick, involving activities which exceed the boundaries of common sense.[1]
