Dennis Rodman's ambassadorial relationship with North Korea has apparently come to a head. After months of visits and public reflection on North Korea and its "supreme leader" Kim Jong-un, Rodman has finally been anointed as a diplomat...on behalf of pistachios everywhere.

In this baffling spot from Wonderful Pistachios, Rodman jumps the shark on the whole ordeal in being blasted to bits by a Jong-un lookalike. It's an odd treatment considering that Rodman controversially deemed Jong-un, the leader of a country guilty of heinous human rights violations, his "friend for life," to say nothing of the choice to make light of nuclear tension with North Korea as a commercial endeavor. Strange decisions all around.
