VICE co-founder [Shane Smith](http://twitter.com/shanesmith30) has been called a lot of things. "Intrepid." "Fearless." "Bearish" is a term people seem to like throwing around. Well now, [Shane](http://www.vice.com/shane-smith) can add "Emmy Award nominee" (or, if everything pans out as it should, "Emmy Award winner") to his list of qualifiers, as VICE's latest venture unto the silver screen, _VICE on HBO_, has been [nominated for an Emmy](http://www.vice.com/read/we-were-nominated-for-an-emmy) in the Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series category.

To celebrate, we've compiled some of our favorite Shane moments from [VICE's YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/vice), so you can get your fill of Shane while you wait for [season two](http://www.vice.com/read/our-tv-show-is-coming-back-for-round-ii) of VICE on HBO to hit the air. Enjoy!

Vice founder Shane Smith managed to get into North Korea after a year and half of trying and is witness to the craziness of this hermit nation. Crazy is actually kind of an understatement.

In part 1, Shane and company speak to North Korean refugees living in South Korea, contemplate bribing a consulate in China, an eventually make their way through the DMZ into the land of the Hermit Kingdom.

From the DMZ Into the Hermit Kingdom - Inside North Korea (Part 1/3)

VICE travels to West Africa to rummage through the messy remains of a country ravaged by 14 years of civil war. Despite the United Nation's eventual intervention, most of Liberia's young people continue to live in abject poverty, surrounded by filth, drug addiction, and teenage prostitution. The former child soldiers who were forced into war have been left to fend for themselves, the murderous warlords who once led them in cannibalistic rampages have taken up as so-called community leaders, and new militias are lying in wait for the opportunity to reclaim their country from a government they rightly mistrust.
