50 Funny Memes And Posts About The Brits That Show What A Unique Nation They Are
Interview With AuthorThe 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!

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."
Teacher: "You have ten pieces of candy , and you let your friend have four. If she asks for half of what you have left, what do you give her?" Student: "A good poke in the nose."
Teacher: You have 10 chocolate bars and eat half of them; what do you have? Pupil: Belly ache.

Asking and receiving, two totally different words that can have different outcomes.
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!"
I have met him on a few occasions as have many other friends and he has always been so charming! Not surprised he responded as such.
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.
There is one in my parents village. It's used as there is no longer an analogue signal to the village and it's very dodgy for phone cover. If the internet goes, most people know a neighbours password but an actual phone is still needed. It is close to a red mail box, both regularly have random crochet accessories - I don't know why.
Load More Replies...I have a red phone box across from my flat. Apparently it's grade 2 listed. It does get used occasionally.
We’ve got a defibrillator and a book exchange in our red telephone box. PS if you are the person who has to clean the windows this definitely isn’t a downgrade!
I genuinely can't remember the last time I saw any public phones. I imagine it's the same worldwide?
There are about 20k in the UK - about 3k are the traditional red ones. Ofcom has put in place rules that prevent BT from removing phone boxes if they are the last in an area, are in locations without full mobile coverage, are in accident hotspots, or if they are still being used for a significant number of calls or for emergency services.
Load More Replies...Works very well in Australia too :)
Load More Replies...I can think of two words that would look like that blurred out and in most places they are not gender neutral but I'm pretty sure teh Brits don't care.
" Why do you call everyone arsehole ? " " Because it's gender neutral ".
I like how none of us know the context, but we're all nodding "Of course he's a very good boy." Max's humans could be defending his habit of chasing school children and stealing their sandwiches, and we'd all be "He's a very good boy really, just let him have the sarnies."
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!
amateurs, your supposed to eat half the packet so can twist it shut. then decide your still hungry and eat the other half
Les, that’s why 2 cups of Earl Grey tea are better than one.🤣

Load More Replies...As a foreigner, I don't get it...I must improve my knowledge of British life.
This entire thread made me laugh, so much so that my dog got up to check on me.
I used to get called a lazy f****t growing up. A f****t is an archaic word for a bundle of sticks.
If you're spelling that with two 'tt' in Swedish, you'd get a bassoon in Englishing.
Load More Replies...When I lived in NJ, I went to Medical school in the East Village, Manhattan. (to be an EMT) It was a Sunday morning and myself and a friend from my Class were standing outside chatting, Mike lit a ciggie and I blurted out 'got a f**g in your mouth again' this horrible silence fell, and knew I had said something with a very different meaning. Mike took me aside to explain things, I was bright red.
It also mean to work hard, or is a term for a younger student at a public (private) school who acts as a servant.
Yes that is true and has caused many a great misunderstanding lol.
Load More Replies...There's a restaurant near me that serves faggots ...... wait for the burn from offended people ...., which is a type of food.
Brains f@ggots. Which aren't made from brains. And aren't really faggots any more. Decent meat has been replaced with pink slime and grains. Nasty. Buy proper butcher's ones.
Load More Replies...We call them f ags also in ireland. That or smokes. I dis get banned from a sub reddit for using it in that context. Like it comes from the old word fa ggot which is a small bundle of sticks used for lighting fires. Im gay and I don't know any irish gay people who take offence to the use of the word for cigarettes. Context is everything.
Sadly, in the era of algorithms context does not matter. And it's infuriating. I'm in canning/cooking groups in FB, and there are a barrage of words that you can't use because the algorithm will flag your post as offensive. Words like "fat", or "pig". Now sure, there are contexts in which these can be pretty nasty words, but when you're talking about COOKING... Same way for a while anything I posted in a gardening group was taken down, because in previous posts I used words like "k**l" (as in "these bugs killed all my seedlings, anyone can help me identify them?"), and so my profile was flagged as "aggressive".
Load More Replies...So why does BP censor so much?Does most of the traffic here consist of preschoolers?is everybody so fragile this is necessary?and some of you pay to keep it going?
Probably to avoid its content being banned from more conservative outlets
Load More Replies...It's even funnier when you ask someone if they wish to go outside to enjoy a cigarette. It would be, 'Do you wanna smoke a f*g?' Or the even more hilarious (only in certain parts of the UK) when someone asks if you would give them a cigarette. That would be, 'Can I b*m a f*g?'
Load More Replies..."Smoke a fág" means *ENTIRELY* different things depending on which side of the ocean you're on.
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!
Looks like the tunnel plans they made in the 19th century when imagining future
Sadly not. It was very disappointing when I first went on the Eurostar.
Load More Replies...A zoo half a day's drive from my house got one of those in the otter exhibit when I was about 8; it was, hands-down, the best thing I'd seen in my life. I could've stayed there all day watching those otters swim overhead. Next time we weint back it was, I don't know, five or six years later, and the whole tunnel was so scratched and cloudy, you could barely see the otters--and they only had two of them left. Anyway, that was about 30 years ago, so maybe the technology has improved, but if you hear about one being added somewhere you can get to, my advice is go the first year.
Sounds like bad maintenance. There are good zoos who help preserve animals nearing extinction in the wild and then there are zoos that don't care
Load More Replies...I waited from the mid-70s until 2010 or so, looking forward to seeing "The Chunnel" from the inside. Know what it looks like when you're in it? It's dark. It's a tunnel.
There is an aquarium in USA I have been too with one of these, very cool enjoyed the surround view.

I think Id rather have a nice pint than walk up a massive f*****g hill
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.
Corcoran is a nasty right wing commentator. I'm not surprised her nan looks like a gammon.
"Oi harry, what's the thing they use for speakers?"
That's because that's a ram, and people are used to seeing ewes.
True, but even for a ram he still has quite the block head!!! I had a ram like this before and he broke one of my ribs with his block head. They are like battering rams...pun intended!
Load More Replies...That's a tup and a half. Reminds me of when my parents sold their three-piece suite to a farmer and he turned up with a trailer on the back of his Landrover - he had a tup in the back, which he proceeded to put in the cab with him and bundled the three-piece suite in the trailer!
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.
Did BP just censor the name of a legendary actor?
Load More Replies...Except that the 't' is silent. Try getting a yorkshhireman to pronounce the band name "The The". ;-)
Load More Replies...This us what I was told. That the poor wanted to sound upscale. The French are known to have silent h's and t's , but the British didnt know Frebch that well, so they dropped all of them. Anidote brought to you by my British mum from East End.
French is like: Our words have lots of letters. We're going to pronounce about half of them. And sometimes we'll make Is and Us sound like As just to mess with you.
Load More Replies...i thought us brits loved tea until i met my girl who is polish and realised we got nothing on them
People who speak English correctly definitely pronounce the letter 't',
On entering the taxi, once you've confirmed the destination it is obligatory to ask 'Are you busy tonight'? and 'What time are you on 'till'? That's all the conversation that's permissable until 'Anywhere here's fine, thanks'.
I'm from Argentina and I used to do the same whenever I took a remis (similar to an uber but you asked the car from a car rental agency) and I always told them "Whenever you can park, is OK." Now I don't get more remises, ubers, or whatever they are called because they are too expensive.
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.
And according to Midsomer, all villages have fetes all the time, and the sun is always shining upon the murders regularly occurring therein.
And the detective's wife is always at the scene (working, biking, doing yoga, singing in the choir )where someone is m******d. 😁
Load More Replies...You can tell it's British because it's not equipped for basketball. (Paint the floor and add some retracted hoops, and it looks just like any small-town American elementary school gym/theater/cafeteria/community conference center/dance hall. Now go to the front and get your award for not staying home when you got sick.)
Yup our village hall in this little village is like that lol it needs a lotta work doing , so they considering knocking it down ffs n re building it up my end of the village in the field next to the play park , LIKE NO ! the village hall belongs in the heart of the village opposite the green ,n our lush pub ,not stuck up this end pfft ,not that they can build on that field in question ,it used to be a a proper working tip till 1976 , so god knows wtf is buried there 🤦♀️
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
Wasn’t it Nish Kumar who said WW2 was the only time in history they’ve been the “good guys”? 🤣. He’s got a point considering on average every seven days a nation celebrates their independence from them. However as an American I’d very much rather not be the current villains 💀
I would say intentionally causing a famine in India doesn't make them look like the good guys (Rarely anybody was to be fair)
Load More Replies...Clearly no oil there, then, or the Yanks would be on it like flies on a dog t**d. EDIT: And the latest innocuous word to fall foul of the censors is 'túrd'! EDIT 2: I see we have a thin-skinned Yank with access to a downvote button. Take a lesson from us Brits, buddy, and learn to laugh at yourself.
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
That’s actually a glos shire Somerset slang , alrighty my son says that all the time , n we in the Cotswolds lol him talks like a proper farmer , like I does mostly 😂
Load More Replies...I'm a Brit and when I speak if 'right' is not somewhere in the sentence I get the feeling that somethings not right
I never even realised I was doing this until one of my co-workers pointed it out. xD
I now n then say that , like right im off ,but not much , n nope I ain’t English anyways 😂im Welsh valleys , well half n half but i denounced my English side 😂
Yep. I always worry that if I was to go missing that hideous photo would be circulated as the last sight of me. Looking barely human and 30 years older.

Reminds me of the old Irish joke. And American comes to Ireland and is waiting on a train, and he asks someone for a timetable. The man responds " oh bless your soul, we use calendars here. "
Actually think you will find we love (not me hate the word but ) the word c u n t lol it’s said a hell of a lot
Cookies? Wait...no. Now that I think about it, I watched Furchester Manor, the British spin-off of Sesame Street, with my son when he was a toddler, and the chef was cookie monster, and I never found out for sure whether they called him biscuit monster or not.
I think you mean The Furchester Hotel. "In "Cookie Confusion", it is revealed that Cookie Monster has a British cousin named Biscuit Monster who eats biscuits." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Furchester_Hotel

Load More Replies...What about the ancient tradition of tying a knot in each corner of your handkerchief and using it as a hat. 😂
I remember an episode off British Bake Off where they were dying of the heat. Everyone complaining, oh it's the hottest day ever, needed cold towels & sticking their heads in the freezer. It was 26°C. 🙄 I live in Australia, 26° is lovely spring/fall weather! Try living with a month or more of 36°+ weather & then you can complain about how hot it is. 🤣🤣
Being in the UK from the US, having experienced 3 'heat waves' this summer, and being unimpressed that we haven't broken 100F/ 37C yet
Actual truth 😂n Stella 🤬aka wife beater !!! as for heatwave. Eugh we had a good few of them this yr n very little rain like way to little , I live out in the sticks , surrounded by farmland n Christ the crops are failing 😳field behind my house is normally well high with wheat ,not this year half the hieght pfft , n I consider 23 to bloody hot lmao hate the heat , but it’s the muggy weather that’s the worse
There's a phrase I've not head in a few decades😱 thankfully. Stella really is like fizzy pop now though. At 5.2% it had a gorgeous, crisp, dry flavour. These days it tastes like someone's drunk it once already, decided they didn't want it any more, and put it back in the glass..

Little Tesco is the best Tesco. It's really lovely. Big Tesco is a proper event where I buy lots of food I've never heard of before.
I stepped one foot in a whopping Tesco last week, got overwhelmed, turned around and went straight to Lidl.

I don't see the problem here. Don't you always call your mates c**ts ?
Load More Replies...I live out in the country and, depending on the wind, one of my neighbors cooks great barbeque. I still haven't figured out which one, though.
I think that's universal, except here we ask whether someone's having one or it's a forest fire. Depending on the type of barbecue, they can smell very similar.
Not that I'd agree with them, but nobody tell 'em, ok?

In all my life of visiting family in southern England, the only time I ever experienced this c**p weather everyone talks about was in January. Other than that, every trip - sunny, pleasant, sometimes downright HOT (high 20sC in May).

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..
Years, so he gives us each more like 3/4 of a pitcher. I call that a glass of beer, and while I do pour it into a smaller container to make drinking easier, I drink the whole thing myself. When I was younger I could drink like that every night, now I drink like that on special occasions. But my point is that those little things that they show in the picture above, look like they're full of apple juice. And it wasn't until I got to this point in the conversation that I realized that strong brow is a cider and not a beer, and I don't drink cider so I'm not actually sure what size glasses we use. D**n, I think my whole argument just fell apart.
Load More Replies...for all the USA cmments try going to Flying Saucer or a beer garden, not that uncommon.

Furthermore this is Edward VII dressed to go out to Aldi and then on for a quick pint at his local Spoons.
Given it's Edward VII he was probably going out to pick up women.
Load More Replies...Or use a word like "whilst" which is a perfectly cromulent British English word, but to some it sounds like thou doth speaketh middel Englishe.
While both "also" and "furthermore" can be used to add information, they are not exactly the same and have slightly different nuances. "Also" is generally more informal and can be used to simply add something to a previous statement, similar to "and" or "too". "Furthermore" is typically used in more formal writing and adds information that strengthens or deepens an argument or point
Those chips could do with some more time in the fryer. I like mine crisp😁
ok not making fun of it but serious question why do the peas look that color? is it just dye? or do they change the taste of the peas? also why peas on fries (chips)? I love peas and I love fries but they are such different tastes that i was wondering why put them together? thats why I was wondering if whatever makes them so bright changes the taste
I've never, ever seen peas that colour in real life, not even mushy peas which these are. Colour aside, they are an aquired taste quite frankly. Beloved by some people, and loathed probably by just as many. The chips look pale and undercook... I suspect the colour is way off in this photo.
Load More Replies...Looks like The Hulk has gotten the runs. Maybe from eating something like that pile.
Ugh. I *never* got the attraction of mushy peas. Take some garden peas, toss 'em in boiling water, count to ten, right they're done. Boiling the poor buggers to death and beyond is too much like boarding school food for my liking.
What do you mean "has owned" - I think you'll find a lot of us "still own" ;-)

Britain is honestly the goat. Gave us Tolkien, Doctor Who, and Radiohead.
Hmm. I've worked it out. The captions should be changed to "Britain's history according to the UK Conservative Party" and "Britain's history according to British historians". Most of us are not shy about admitting our country's faults. In fact, many of us won't stop banging on about how awful the place is and always has been... 😉🤣

This look substantially predates the Kardashians. Possibly the Romans and Celts, as well.

This is so true and when it's below freezing we will still refuse to wear a coat
I had to travel to Darlington one February day for work. It was a clear, sunny day, no snow, butcold, below freezing. I was dressed like a polar explorer ( don't like the cold ), but because it was sunny, the locals were out in T-shirts, shorts and flip-flops . . .
It's usual on any day in the UK to see people in overcoats as well as folks in shorts and t-shirts

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.
lol, my dude we raised our own chickens when I was a kid, 100% on yard, and I can tell you that the addition of seasoning helps make a great bird amazing. You can just roll with the jokes.
Load More Replies...The war and rationing messed up food in Britain for a few decades. In the elizabethan era, and others, spices were highly popular - amongst those with money admittedly. People outside the UK have war era foods in their head and are very outdated.

I'm the rare species of person who actually LOVES Oasis' music (yes, including Wonderwall.) I was a teen in the 90s, so that probably had something to do with it XD EDIT: jfc people I'm not trying to call myself a pick-me girl or that "I'm not like other girls!!!!!", I'm saying that my friends in the 90s all said they loathed Oasis and Wonderwall and I was the weirdo who actually liked the song and the band.
You can't not lcve wonderwall. In general, I've found there's two types of people who dislike Oasis. People who are tired hearing oasis coming from amateur guitarists in public and... well, I mean Oasis. Got a bit of a rocky history with themselves.

I always wonder about that! Liver-pool??? Where did the name come from?
"The name comes from the Old English 'lifer', meaning thick or muddy water, and 'pōl', meaning a pool or creek, and is first recorded around 1190 as 'Liuerpul'. According to the Cambridge Dictionary of English Place-Names, 'The original reference was to a pool or tidal creek now filled up into which two streams drained'."
Load More Replies...Pictures of livers in a pool = Liverpool
Load More Replies...Yes, nothing sums up Liverpool quite like an American song, by American writers, from an American musical.

The smiley face potatoes are delicious, though. They're always delicious. The beans touching them is mildly disturbing, though. It's ok for the chicken, but those potatoes are gonna get soggy.
Load More Replies...Well, we did have baked beans when I grew up, but not the frozen stuff. The 'chiller' in the fridge was big enough for a small pack of Birdseye peas and a block of Wall's ice cream.

Hasn't got a patch on a battered and deep-fried frozen Mars bar though.
Combine it with "Small sausage in large sausage" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_sausage_in_large_sausage
I'm not sure how that works, but it sounds dirty. Oh...... it's a food thing?

I think you will find that the F0re$kin Crumble Tube is actually called a Pork Wellington!
Best jam clags I ever had, somewhere west of London, lady was so kind to share the recipe with me, but it took another twenty years before clotted cream was somewhat available in the Netherlands. Most of my efforts have been geared toward recreating it from what we - the Dutch - call cream.
Uhhh which American accent and which British accent? Because that's a whole bunch of accents
It doesn't matter, the result is the same.
Load More Replies...Nah... our cabbie was telling us in 20+ weather that was slightly overcast and not even misting that it would be a terrible day for the beach. There's no such thing as a terrible day for the beach.
Could be million times worse !! You could be in USA with the orange lunatic !!
Unfortunately I am and it's absolutely terrifying. And stupefying. And horrible. And ridiculous. Every day I wake up and hesitate to check the news, thinking to myself 'what has he done now'?
