40 Funny Memes That Perfectly Capture British Humor, As Shared On This Online Group
Interview
Every place has a little something to offer to its visitors, be it food, scenery, people, or something else completely. And while Britain, for instance, is typically known for its Royals, love for milky tea, and unique accents or words that no foreigner will ever be able to pronounce on the first try (yes, it’s the worsest… worcestst… worcestershire sauce I’m referring to), the British are also often known for their witty sense of humor.
Today, we have listed some examples of said humor for you to get acquainted with, together with some posts depicting what life in Britain is like, both in the shape of ‘British Memes’, as shared by the community titled exactly that. Scroll down to find the memes on the list below and see for yourself what the unique charm of Britain comprises.
Below you will also find some thoughts shared by one of the moderators of the community, as well as Bored Panda’s interview with a cognitive psychologist, Gary Klein, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions on humor.

The Brits stole it, we inherited it. Or in some cases bought it from the French, Spanish, and Russian and a few captured from Mexico in a war. But the Brits were the ones who stole the land, we inherited it.

captured/stolen - tomato/tomato. I'd also debate the French/Russians'/Spaniards' legitimacy in selling the land. It's impractical now to "just give it back", as the original victims are long dead, but I sure understand their descendants wanting to reclaim their lost/stolen heritage, too.

The story of how the ‘British Memes’ subreddit was created is quite a straightforward one—the moderators saw there was a niche and decided to go for it. “British humor is dry and doesn't shy away from making fun of itself,” one of the mods told Bored Panda in a recent interview, adding that memes are fun, so why not give such a subreddit a go?
“I like how relaxed and casual smaller subreddits are,” they added. “Like a village compared to the cities of the big ones.” While the sub might not be considered among the largest fish on Reddit, it has amassed more than 22 thousand members already.

The moderator of the ‘British Memes’ subreddit is arguably right about British humor being rather dry, which is why it might not appeal to everyone equally. A study from 2021 found that users of American English perceived British humor as less funny and were less able to get the ironic and sarcastic aspect of such humor, compared to their counterparts using British English.
The irony and sarcasm adorning British wit might not be amusing to everyone, either, but not taking things personally—when they don’t cross the line of decency, of course—and laughing at certain situations instead can sometimes be beneficial, too. According to the cognitive psychologist Gary Klein, humor can be used to make certain situations easier to bear or to help us keep our cool if needed.

Some enterprising idiot "insulated" my 170yo house by adding stud walls and fibreglass insulation. Then left me to the aftermath - the drywall is falling apart (mostly because they seem to have stolen the insulation from the roof, along with the waterproofing). The actual walls, of course, will be absolutely fine.

He still struggled to get why the really old ones (solid) were out of our price range.

I live in a Victorian-era property and my hallway is very narrow. Negotiating it in my motorised wheelchair (an absolute unit, big and powerful), especially when dealing with the door (reversing while stretching up to hold onto the latch) means I've literally driven into the walls on countless occasions. My doorframes are missing chunks and I managed to take a door right off its hinges once, but apart from paintwork damage my walls are golden.

Brit here. I was supporting a teacher in a HS class talking about the symbolism of the items in the coronation. Class spent a lot of time discussing the large ceremonial spoon the monarch would arrive on. A number of adults in and out the room were vaguely curious. I tried in vain to Google pictures. Eventually the teacher realised the PowerPoint had skipped. Thing is, so much seems so obscure, we happily accepted the absurd.
“When we see the humor in a situation, we are less likely to take things personally, less likely to feel defensive and threatened, and more capable of responding constructively to the people involved,” Klein wrote for Psychology Today. That’s what, according to the expert, having a comedy mindset is all about.

In order to learn more about the comedy mindset, Bored Panda got in touch with Dr. Klein, who emphasized that such a mindset helps people cope with frustrating events, reduce stress, and counter a tendency to take things personally, thereby reducing anger when things don't go their way.
But this coin, too, has two sides. “There is unfortunately a downside to the comedy mindset—finding humor in another person's suffering, which is something to be alert to and to guard against,” Dr. Klein pointed out.

Load More Replies... When it comes to the darker side of humor, the internet seemingly plays quite a significant role in it. According to Dr. Klein, nowadays, the online culture tends towards viciousness rather than humor.
“There seems to be no shortage of people ready to pounce on displays of humor; the online culture seems to drive towards a caustic perspective, rather than a comedy mindset. Even people who do see the humor in things may be intimidated not to express that humor, whereas caustic and sarcastic reactions seem to rule the day.”

Rats are good pets, but they still require some good upkeep, an enclosure, bedding, and are also more difficult to find a vet for.

Rats are great pets, but they require at least as much input as cats. If you bunged a cat on its own in a small cage and only handled it 3 times a week, it would be bitey and unsocialised too. "Enclosure" is definitely a better word for rats' requirements than "cage". They really benefit from being kept in groups. Unfortunately their lifespan is very short, 2-3 years max.

While British humor is often accompanied by a pinch of sarcasm, not all of it is based on caustic humor or equally heavy to bear. The Brits can bring wit into something as mundane as cooking, too, and whoever named some of their traditional dishes seemingly did. Similarly to British humor, some of the names used for certain dishes—a ‘toad in a hole’ served for dinner, for instance—might sound bizarre at best, when you’re not familiar with them.
In addition to the toad in the hole—which in reality is some sausages in Yorkshire pudding, unlike what the name suggests—there’s also rumbledethumps (yes, that’s a dish, not a spell from a Harry Potter book), and bangers and mash. Make sure to leave some room for some Eton mess or knickerbocker glory for dessert!

That's the point, you have to have specific shoes as part of the uniform. My high school (Australia) only allowed black lace up 'business' shoes for boys and those or T-bar/Mary Janes for girls, until a lot of the girls insisted on wearing them unbuckled (stupid craze I didn't understand) and kept tripping up, some got injured, which meant they banned Mary Janes/T-bars for everyone. I was glad there was a weaning out period, so I could get through my last year of school without having to buy the uglier shoes :) They also had rules on what socks you could wear. White for girls and grey for boys, until my sister was there in the 2010s and they made it a unisex uniform, so everyone had to wear grey.
Load More Replies...But food isn’t the only thing the British have specific names for. When it comes to vocabulary, there can be problems related to being misunderstood in some places, as the words they use might be different from those used in other English-speaking locations. For instance, asking for chips in the UK and in the US would result in two different forms of snacks; and you would also most likely be surprised about the different outcomes you’d see after requesting a torch.

Copy the church tower. We have 4 different colors of bins, of which some are getting emptied every two weeks and some every four weeks, on different days of the werk. A couple of years ago the collecting data got changed, so everybody took a wild guess of when which color needed to be presented at the roadside. We do have an ancient church in the middle of our historic village, that functions as cultural event centre, with lights illuminating the tower during Christmas time and other events. The club maintaining the church and running the events had just bought a set of new, colored bulbs - so they placed the color matching the bins due the next morning in the fittings. Green tower = garden/kitchen bin due. Made the national main news. https://www.omroepzeeland.nl/video/Groene-container-Groede-ZNO210513UP/kerktoren-groede-kleurt-groen-vanwege-groene-kliko

Don't be imagining fluffy wuffy American pancakes either, British pancakes are the size of a frying pan with the texture of a leather omlette. With lemon juice and sugar, (orange if you are fancy).

A decent pancake will re-sole a hobnail boot and last you a good nine months.

(pre-empting questions, Motability is a scheme for disabled people to get a vehicle, with adaptations if needed, so we can get about more easily. The government makes it very difficult to access the scheme, which is why it took so long for me.)

at least you have aircon there. You can escape the humidity with that, as well as houses that are better designed for the climate. Over here, our homes are brick ovens in the summer, and we have no aircon. ;-;

£50 notes were favoured by d**g dealers... £20 notes are by FAR the most popular bank notes in England.
Wilf 1 year ago
They're not dispensed by ATMs- so most shop assistants will never see one. They're next to useless to pay for things day-to-day in shops. They're also notorious for being used criminally in the underground economy, or for tax evasion purposes. Someone presents you with a £50 note you can more or less assume they're at best working "cash in hand" to avoid tax or at worst, they're a proper wrong 'un.

We have never directly elected our Prime Minister. We elect individual MP's who either belong to a particular political party or are independent. The Prime Minister is usually the leader of the political party that has the most MP's in Parliament and therefore forms the government. The PM is almost always an MP who has been elected by their constituents to represent them and then elected as the leader of their political party by the members of that party.
Wilf 1 year ago
technically the Prime Minister doesn't have to be the party leader. In modern times it's only happened twice, both in wartime, when Lloyd George and Churchill were both appointed Prime Minister without being their respective party leaders.
Load More Replies... El Dee 1 year ago
The party of government votes for its leader and they become PM. They don't need to be an elected MP either. Recently our foreign minister, an unelected private person, was appointed a Lord so he could be held to account but I don't think even that is a requirement. Due to the way their system works one of our PMs became leader of her party without a vote (Theresa May) Everyone else withdrew from the contest so she was 'elected unopposed'
