You may not know British history or politics all that well, but if there is one thing everyone can say for sure about the Brits, it is that they have an amazing sense of humor. Oh, and they also like tea.
In fact, British humor, often described as “dry wit,” is so specific in style, you will be able to tell a British joke from afar, even if it doesn’t mention the Queen, Doctor Who, or standing in a queue. As British people are also notoriously good at making fun of themselves, it is not surprising that there are tons of funny Twitter posts by Brits about Brits.
Another thing that cracks up the entire world about Great Britain are funny British sayings. Even though they make complete sense to those who use them every day, a daily conversation in Britain is full of phrases like “I was trollied” (translation: “I had too much alcohol”), yet most Brits still don’t understand why other nations find British slang phrases hilarious.
For this article, we collected some of the funniest tweets the internet had to offer, written either by Brits or about Brits. Share them with your friends, British or otherwise, and if you have any funny tweets about the British way of life, make sure to post them in the comments.

I have lived in Tottenham for 3 years, near the stadium. In that time among me and my housemates: 2 robberies, 1 hit&run, 2 stolen motorbikes, 2 cars broken into, 1 car stolen and set on fire after a joyride. I looked up the street on google maps recently and it looks even more run down and miserable than 15 years ago, would never think that was even possible.
This is way too British for me to understand but I hope we stand in agreement that jk sucks
