Even though that was a joke, it is not possible to do serious damage to an object that large, with a tiny missile. It would have to be substantially larger , like maybe a little under 3/4 the size of the moon itself... just an estimate... but, if something were to happen to the moon, the earth would wobble on its axis, and the tides would be way out of wack, and the season would be totally crazy...

Yeah, this didn't happen. Such devastation would pretty much wipe out life on Earth.
You'd have noticed by the sudden disappearance of the moon and all the debris in the sky replacing it, much off which would be falling to Earth like the mother-of-all meteor showers. KT was nothing compared to this.
Changes in day length, Earth-quakes, fires, radiation from the nuclear warhead... imagine everything that could possibly make Earth inhospitable and uninhabitable all happening at once.

Some time ago (years) I tried to calculate if it would be possible to blow the Moon up using nuclear weapons.
After a few calculations, seeing that the Moon was way too massive to be blown to bits, I tried to see if we could remove a 1 m layer (3 feet) from the surface of the Moon, by using ALL the nuclear weapons on Earth AND by assuming that we would get each one to yield 100% of the potential energy (real yield is less than 10%).
No.

Even if they did hit the moon, they couldn't do enough damage to even be seen on the Earth, much less destroy it.
Even a nuclear bomb wouldn't do much damage (the moon is huge compared to anything humans can do.
And the Americans and Russians both launched probes in the 1950's and 1960's that hit the moon. All they did was create one more impact crater.

that would be bad because the moon causes tides. many creatures rely on tides to function correctly. without them, they wouldn't be able to do so and might die. that would just throw off everything on earth. also, that's more than likely not true. even if it didn't hit land, the moon would likely create a seizmic sea wave that would be huge and wipe out all civilizations bordering the pacific ocean. and some others too.

It's fake...has to be...we would no longer be here if this happened. All life would have been extinguished in one massive fireball. Earth as we know it would be gone, done, finis. The burn may have even penetrated below to roast the microbes effectively sterilizing this planet of all life.

Only a piece of it fell. Apparently the piece that the Korean Missle landed on.

Why haven't I heard of this?
Maybe because it didn't happen.
It would have been on news channels all over the USA.
It wasn't.
