50 Of The Most ‘British Memes’ To Transport You To The Land Of Tea And Crumpets
Among many other things, the United Kingdom is known all over the world for its sports and literature. Football, rugby, cricket, boxing, and golf were all invented in the UK and it has produced many notable writers, including William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and Jane Austen.
The country's culture is wide and colorful, and whether you're someone who's already familiar with it or hasn't had the chance to explore it yet, we at Bored Panda think it would be really interesting to take a moment and indulge in it.
For that, let's take a look at the content of the Instagram account 'British Memes,' which can basically act as an entertaining crash course on the subject.

You may have the nicest bin alley in the whole country, wistaria is dead posh
Oh fück, I'm laughing way too hard at this.
My brother's second wedding, I said, "OK, Let's see if he can get it right this time. He's had a practice run" Got a few laughs
I hate those things. Sister has a Grey's Anatomy one that she placed opposite her bedroom mirror. Going up the stairs and catching a glimpse of some stranger looking at you through the mirror is terrifying.
It looks like half his aris is hanging out of them there pants
Had to laugh at the recent story about a staff member nicking shįt loads of stuff from the British Museum. Irony at its finest.
I mean, how did they even find out that'd calm her down? Did the cat costume or wonder woman ones not work??
Isn't this universal? (At least among the countries where having a TV is normal.)
As a baldy myself, I can say that this bugs me. Why is it ok to "bald-shame"? Genetics, people. He is still fit and about 30 years older than in the first photo. People age. I hate this.
The time I booked a taxi to get the cat to the vet. The driver thought I’d like a scenic tour of the surrounding neighbourhoods. On arriving at the vets (approx 3 miles using the normal route, well over 10 miles his route) I told him the route he should have taken and refused to pay and refused to get out of the taxi until the office contacted me. Office furious with driver, got off paying and he was ordered to take wait and take me back home. The looks are got through the rear view mirror were pretty scary on the journey home.
Why would you name a child IKEA? Or does it translate to something?
This level of idiocy amuses me greatly, but sadly also displeases me with the amount of people similar to this example.
The Chase is a gold mine for things like this. Most infamously, Bradley Walsh (the presenter) cracking up at "F***y Chmelar"
reminds me of how bored I got during lockdown, I started watching train rides on Youtube, just so I could feel like I was out and about. :')
Don't do that. When I have 107 items and you're behind me with your carrot and turnip, it's because I've already let two people queue jump in front of me and I have a two queue-jumper limit. They'll open a new register up just for you anyway, so stop griping.
Looks like a delicious snail crawling over a delicious pile of s**t to me sir!
Because it's party food, so you don't have to feel so bad about not inviting them to your actual party 😂 (We usually did honey joys or chocolate crackles in Australia)
“Grilled cheese”, “mom”, a mobile network that hasn’t existed here for a decade, everything on her Twitter page is American memes. I’m calling BS on this being British.
Fields are for the posh people. The rest of us make do with the car park.
How sad is it that this poor mum is too afraid to talk to her child face-to-face about the problem.
I think Stevie G was expecting a higher standard of accommodation in Saudi Arabia.
I'm on the south coast, so almost everywhere is North for me. London is up North from here
She will do ANYTHING for attention. Don't like her and her entitled attitude stinks.
That's over 105,000 English teachers getting pregnant every year. I have no problem with that - as long as they raise those children to respect the Oxford comma.
Let me explain what the difference is between "Britain", "British" and "British Isles". They are different but it isn't complicated. The collection of islands called "The British Isles" is a geographical term only (i.e. not related to any Government, culture or group of people) and is an archipelago that includes the islands of Great Britain, Ireland, Isle of Man, The Orkney Islands, The Scilly Islands, the Hebrides and Western Islands off the coast of Scotland, The Shetland Islands and many smaller islands. It does not include the Channel Islands of Jersey, Guernsey, Aldeney and Sark, which in are the English channel off the coast of France. The largest island is called Great Britain has two countries, England and Scotland and one principality, Wales. The second largest island is called Ireland and has one country, Èire (Ireland in English), which is about 84% of the island. The remaining 16% is a province called Northern Ireland and is a constituent part of the UK. The country known as the UK is properly called "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" consists of four separate entities, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. British is used a short hand for the UK. The Channel Islands are not part of the UK either, but are a self governing Crown Dependancy. The Isle of Man (Manx) is also not part of the UK and a self governing Crown Dependancy. Channel and Manx Islanders are UK citizens and are included in the term "British", even though the Channel Islands isn't part of the British Isles. Crown Dependancies make their own laws but have the British Monarch as Head of State and rely on the UK for foreign policy, defence and intelligence/security services. Citizens of Èire are never British, unless they wish it, as the UK and Èire have a treaty from 1926 that allows Irish citizens to obtain a UK passport if they wish, join the UK armed or security services or live permanently in the UK. But UK citizens cannot become Irish in the same way, although they can live there permanently. Under the same treaty a passport is not needed for a UK or Irish citizen to travel between the two countries. This annoys the European Union considerably. Everyone likes the Isle of Wight and no one wants the Isle of Sheppy. Simple.

USA here I am always searching out British humor articles. Shows etc. can’t get enough. Love it all
Let's not forget the joke about the English man with a inferiority complex: he thought he was as good as everyone else
