50 Funny Memes And Posts About The Brits That Show What A Unique Nation They Are
Interview With Author
The United Kingdom is a special place. Here, you can find the best fish and chips you’ve ever tasted, polite people who are passionate about their tea and an impressive collection of biscuits to snack on. It’s hard to match the Brits’ obsession with football or their excitement for the sun when it finally comes out. But if you’re looking for an article that celebrates everything about life in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, you’ve come to the right place!
We visited the Best Britannia Memes subreddit, Best of British Comedy on Instagram and British Memes on Facebook and compiled their most hilarious and relatable posts below. So whether you’re currently living in Great Britain or not, we hope you enjoy these posts that perfectly encapsulate life in the UK. And be sure to upvote the images that have you craving a cuppa!
This post may include affiliate links.
To learn more about the posts featured on this list, we got in touch with the creator of Best of UK Comedy on Instagram. They were kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and discuss how their page came to be.
"It started in the summer of 2020 when I was laid off from work and bored in lockdown," the creator shared. "Started on Facebook. Already had a few other comedy pages and thought it would be a good place to share more random stuff."

We also asked the creator how they decide what to post on their account. "I make the memes myself, and it’s a simple screening process - if it’s funny, I post it!" they noted. "People shouldn’t look too much into it, comedy is subjective. One person's masterpiece is another person's ‘skip', but to each their own!"
According to World Population Review, there are currently about 69.6 million people living in the UK. And if the UK Tea & Infusions Association’s count is correct, that means Brits drink about 100 million cups of tea every single day, or nearly 36 billion cups per year.
Now, the BBC reports that the UK is actually the third-largest tea drinking country per capita, behind only Türkiye and Ireland. But it’s still quite impressive how much tea Brits can slurp down, so it’s no surprise that the nation has garnered a reputation for being obsessed with it.

There's a red phone box near where my sister lives. Shockingly, it's not vandalised and I've seen people actually using it.

Something else that Brits are undeniably obsessed with is the classic meal of fish and chips. London Walks explains on their site that there’s some debate about who exactly created the first fish and chip shop in England. But we know for sure that they were present by the 1860s, and they quickly became beloved by everyone who had a taste.
Croft Street Fisheries notes that, today, Brits consume 382 million portions of fish and chips annually, which equates to about six servings per person each year. As for how people like to eat this classic dish, it depends on preference and which region they’re from. It’s typically served with tartar sauce and mushy peas, but some also like to add gravy or curry sauce. No matter how you enjoy them, there’s no question that devouring this meal is a quintessential UK experience!

As a foreigner, I don't get it...I must improve my knowledge of British life.
The UK is consistently ranked among the top 20 countries in the world to live in, based on quality of life and happiness of the residents. So even though moving there means experiencing rain for more than a third of the year, it also comes with some excellent perks. One of these benefits being the National Health Service. All UK residents have access to comprehensive free healthcare, courtesy of the NHS. So, if you relocate to the UK, you’ll never have to worry about paying for a doctor’s visit again!

Many people also love the lifestyle that the UK has to offer. Brits are often warm and friendly with a hilarious, albeit sarcastic, sense of humor. They also love going out on the town, experiencing the local pub culture and trying new restaurants, so you’ll never run out of places to go. There are always plenty of festivals taking place in Britain, so no matter what kind of music you like or food you’re into, it’s impossible to get bored.
Another wonderful aspect of the United Kingdom is how culturally diverse it is. The Office for National Statistics reports that, in 2020, there were 9.5 million non-UK born residents and 6.1 million non-British residents living in the United Kingdom. The most common non-UK country of birth amongst residents is India, and the most common non-British nationality is Polish. Because of the diversity in the UK, residents can find amazing, authentic versions of cuisines from all over the world. And anyone can find a community of friends from the same cultural background.

Americans thinking we all sound like cockneys, and that all cockneys sound like D**k van D**e.
Now, aside from drinking tea, watching football and enjoying a pint at the pub, something else that Brits love doing is standing in a queue. Doesn’t matter when, where, or what the line is for. If they see a queue, they might be tempted to hop in. But this social norm is actually quite polite and helps minimize chaos, especially in crowded environments. So keep on queuing on, Brits! We might poke fun at you from afar, but you’re honestly doing great work.

Britain in American history books: “🎶DA DA DA DA DA DADADA DA DIE DA DA DA DIE DA DAAA DAAAAA🎶” EDIT: for anyone confused, it’s king George’s song from the musical Hamilton
Even if you speak English well (which I’m assuming you do if you’ve made it this far), you might have trouble understanding some of the more unique phrases that Brits will throw at you. For example, have you ever been gobsmacked? You probably have, but you might have used the word shocked. What about knackered, cheeky or chuffed? Moving to the UK may not require learning a new language, but it will require picking up some new vocabulary. And be careful not to call your jeans “pants.” They’re trousers over there.

The Midwest version is “alrighty” followed by either a knee slap or pushing yourself up by your hands on knees

As an American of Irish descent, I feel I have to stand up for our country here. And I should say that that's the first time I've ever felt that way. The glass is on the left are probably imperial pints, which are larger than real pints because the English felt that they were being outdone in alcoholism and decided to increase the size of the pint ( or so The legend goes ). The ones on the right I've never seen in my life. Bars in America nowadays mostly serve bottles which are 11.2 oz, but they all still have beer on tap, it's just more expensive. And if you buy it on tap, the size of the glass will range anywhere from 14 to 20 oz. 16 being a actual pint and what I consider an actual drink. But that doesn't stop me from finding ways to do better. My local pizza place offers a deal with a pitcher alongside a 20-in pizza, and my father-in-law and I like two different types of beer so we each get a half picture of our own beer, and the guy likes us because we've been going there for 30..

This myth comes about because Americans OVER season their food, and they over season their food because the ingredients themselves are such poor quality that they have no flavour of their own. Why don't brits season chicken? Because a roast chicken tastes like a roast chicken with no seasoning needed.
