Friends, pandas, countrymen, lend me thine ears! For 'tis a page of memes from the island of Britain that I present upon you. Okay, okay, no more poor attempts at Shakespeare-speak, I promise. I won't bore you with the usual British stereotypes either – mentioning crumpets, double-decker buses and saying 'rubbish' when something's really bad.

Yet Britain indeed has its own unique charm. Just like any other culture does. And while it's true that The Commonwealth doesn't have the best track record when it comes to honoring other cultures, we here at Bored Panda often honor the British sense of humor. This time we're covering the British Memes page on Instagram. Check out our selection and don't forget to upvote your favorites!

Probably because other than the original inhabitants, most of you came from Britain ergo similar humour.

Just for the record bored panda. The UK is not "an island" there are 189 inhabited islands and over 6000 more besides.

    Other seasons: keep your bag of shopping totes near the door, and open the door with them, and purse in hand. You are now "just finished putting the shopping away/must run out and get the shopping, you're completely out of tea."

    Happened at London Euston. The cat was seen half an hour before departure of the London-Manchester Avanti West Coast service. The train was replaced by a stand-by convoy "with only a slight delay". After two and a half hours personnel brought a bin to the side of the train and the cat was able to leave

    While scrolling through these memes, you might notice that British humor (or, rather, humour) is quite distinctive. People often complain they don't understand British comedy shows or stand-up. That's especially true for Americans. Researchers from Birkbeck, University of London, even published a study on this topic.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    They showed the participants two excerpts from two British television shows. The study sample included 128 British individuals and 95 American English users. The people had to rate the funniness of the two clips. A bigger portion of American English users rated British humor as less funny. They said they did not get the ironic and sarcastic aspect of British humor.

    Many people think that the comedy ensemble Monty Python is the best example of British humor. Dr Ian Wilkie, a lecturer in performance at the University of Salford, reiterated this sentiment to the BBC.

    "Having taught younger American students, they take the British sense of humour to be Monty Python, by which they mean a sort-of slightly erring towards the surreal, very iconoclastic in terms of attacking the big targets, very silly."

    You’re not stupid! Even if you’re in the UK, you still might have missed it. There was a scandal and subsequent Netflix programme called Mr Bates vs The Post Office, and because of faulty accounting software, Horizon, the Post Office wrongly accused something like 700 staff throughout the UK of false accounting/theft, some of whom went to prison, and lost everything. It really is awful.

    As David Woods writes for PBS, American humor tends to be positive and upbeat. The British, on the other hand, derive their humor from oddities and misfortunes. Take, for example, Mr. Bean, another canonical British comedy character. He's always getting into some kind of trouble. Yet, we find his misfortunes funny – it can make us feel better about ourselves.

    Mr. Bean is also an odd character. The way he moves, talks, even thinks – there's always something unusual about him. Same with Monty Python. Take the 'Ministry Of Silly Walks' sketch. It's full of absurd physical comedy, just like Mr. Bean.

    Move to Midsommer. It's almost always warm and sunny there, usually with some sort of outdoor festival, too. Admittedly, the risk of being murdered might be greater.

    I lived in the UK for 15 years, it is common for people to not have a clue what to do when it is beautiful weather. The usual result is going to a pub with a beer garden, but it is such a rare thing that some people are just not equipped to cope, this man probably doesn't even own a pair of shorts.

    I lived in the UK for 3 years and can’t get over a “heatwave” being around 80F/25C. I’m from the Midwest where a heatwave means it’s going to be 90F/32C to 110F/43C. With 100% humidity. My English cousins said they’d love that, but I don’t think they have a true frame of reference. 🥵🫠

    Not been in touch with your English cousins recently? They probably do now. In 2022 the UK had a long lasting heatwave that peaked at over 40°C and most of us don't have air conditioning that we can routinely escape to. Countries with colder climates than the UK would consider a lower temperature a heatwave for their area - it's all relative.

    British comedian Stephen Fry also talked about the differences between American and British humor. He said that humor in classical American sitcoms comes from jokes.

    And British sitcoms, in his opinion, rely on character, usually on the failure of a character. Fry describes these protagonists as "trying to be grand in a world that's letting them down." He cites such examples as Alan Partridge and David Brent.

    "The American hero is faster, sharper, cleverer," Fry explains. He uses the toga party scene in the 1978 comedy film Animal House as an example. John Belushi's character smashes a guitar player's instrument in that scene. Americans want to be Belushi at that moment, Fry explains, and a British comedian would rather play the folk singer.

    Fry believes that the British laugh at themselves. Americans, on the other hand, are not that good at self-deprecation. "Americans, I think – and I wouldn't overstate this – are not that good at laughing at themselves."

    But not everyone believes there's such a clear distinction between American and British humor. Dr. Wilkie also told BBC he doesn't exactly think there is a British kind of humor. "I think the best you can hope for is some big, beacon terms (eg. sarcasm, understatement, self-deprecation), that maybe, over a fair amount of time, might hold water."

    Oscar Wilde has famously said that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Is that a sign that British humor is maybe not so "streets ahead" compared to its American counterpart? In a previous interview with Bored Panda, researcher of humor studies at Keuka College Steven Kapica agreed that sarcasm is somewhere near the bottom of the barrel when it comes to ranking forms of comedy.

    Wow..so, I simply "HAD" to do a bit of Googling on this sandwich...(for Americans, like myself, who didn't know what was going on) : What makes Greggs sausage rolls so good? Grace enlisted the help of food scientist Dr Stuart Farrimond to find out exactly what makes a Greggs sausage roll so delicious - starting with that irresistible smell every time you walk past a store. This is caused by a chemical reaction that sees protein and sugars combine at just the right temperature. .....Thanks...Now I need to try one of these!

    I heard of a similar situation, where a young man came stumbling into the house in the wee hours of the morning, only to find his mother, who didn't drink alcohol, standing in the kitchen. She shook her head in disgust and said "Drunk again!" He replied "Yeah Mom, me too!"

    A pisstake is when something is so utterly ridiculous, shameful, or pathetic that it’s a total joke, and not the funny kind. A pisstake can also mean someone is being mocking, but in the context of the text, it means the first definition.

    He’s a Texel! They’re Dutch like me. Texels are known for being absolute units. Males weigh around 95kg/200lbs and they have really lean meat. I grew up on a sheep farm; my best bud was my Texel tup (ram) Bruno. He had a single horn that grew out the centre of his forehead; this guy looks like he might have the same thing going on.

    However, Kapica admitted that sarcasm plays an important role in human interaction. "I think it is better to think of sarcasm as a rhetorical device than as a form of comedy.

    As a rhetoric device, sarcasm can be an effective means of gauging, guiding, and winning one's audience 'in-the-moment.' But that's 'live' sarcasm. Internet-based sarcasm is... oof."

    Just for clarification for anyone outside the UK, French fries (or fries in general) refer to the long skinny things that you get in places like McDonald's, and they are *not* suitable for a chip butty - that requires actual fat chips, preferably from the chippy.

    I'm wondering if half the disbelief comes from the fact that in the USA, they do not butter their sandwiches? Leading them to think that this would be dry as f**k. I'm not a lover of a chip butty, but a well buttered bap/cob/roll, thick chips, with your choice of condiment (I'd go for HP Sauce), makes a simple, warm, and fulfilling snack.

    Hey, this Tesco - can you come and teach my local supermarkets (Tescos included) a thing or two about painting proper disabled bays? And enough of them?

    This is a photo of the UK and Éire actually. Let's just get that correct here. Cause too many Americans think that the island of Ireland is the UK. And that's not sound lads.

    You're right. Though that teeny tiny corner of land down in the bottom right that looks like you could just take a wee hop on to. That's France.

    The Isle of Man is further up than I imagined it. Not great at the old geography.

    I know I am bad in Geografy…. But I did not know I was this bad. I can‘t distinguish what part of the world this pic is showing. From the title I would guess Europe, but…. I really can‘t see it.

    The little bit of land in the lower right-hand corner is the coast of France where Calais and Dunkirk are located. The brown pointy thing at lower center is the Bristol Channel.
