This Account Collects And Shares Out-Of-Context British Pictures, And They Are ‘Bloody’ Funny (50 New Pics)
British humor, known for its dry wit, sarcasm, and irony, has been entertaining audiences for centuries. From Shakespearean plays to contemporary TV shows, it is renowned for its ability to poke fun at societal issues and political figures.
It is no secret that Brits looove to laugh at themselves. Self-deprecation, among other things, is a common theme in British humor, as it allows for a more relatable and approachable form of comedy. So, for those who enjoy the British wit and way of life, we have something smashing prepared. Welcome to the Twitter page "No Context Brits", a place that offers a glimpse into various aspects of British culture, or as the creators describe themselves, is “a celebration of all things great about Britain”.

Hey BP, "No Context" and "Out of Context" are very different terms and do not mean the same thing.
Was it just a British thing in the 60s and 70s to have buttered bread with peaches and cream (the latter two in a bowl). Or was it just my family?
Because life is short and you might as well enjoy it. I'll eat peas and celery because I might get sick...nah. Cheescake and burgers!
Look around you. Look at how many people made that same dumb decision and where they have ended up because of it. Obesity and poor diet takes *years* of healthy lifespan away from you, as much so or even more than smoking. Chronic pain and forced immobility are horrific to live with; those of us with disabilities imposed upon us look at the healthy who are deliberately destroying themselves and weep.

British humor can be a hard nut to crack sometimes, so Bored Panda reached out to Lucy Bella Simkins, an English teacher who has gained a massive following on YouTube for her engaging and informative videos about the English language. With over 9 million subscribers, Lucy has established herself as a respected authority on all things related to the English language. She also offers loads of lessons and an interactive pronunciation tool, which you can check on her website here. Scroll down for the full interview!

Load More Replies...One of the defining characteristics of British humor is its subtle wit. This is often seen in British sitcoms, such as Blackadder or The IT Crowd, which rely on clever wordplay and sarcasm to elicit laughs from viewers. Besides that, Lucy Bella Simkins, English teacher and YouTuber, shared that Brits absolutely love to mess around with the language and make double entendres and innuendos, “all of which are delivered in a completely serious manner - deadpan! Sarcasm is a huge part of British humor - think Chandler from friends with a British accent! We are also super self-deprecating. The best b**t of a joke is yourself.”

In England they drive on the left side? Then this is the passenger side?
Load More Replies...Used to work as a police officer for H.U.D. in section 8 housing developments. My first week I get pulled over on my way home and am in civilian clothes. Officer walks up and ask for the usual stuff and tells me I have a taillight out - I didn't - and that's why I was pulled over. He calls "backup" and I sit there waiting to go home when I notice that his patrol car has a headlight out. The other officer that arrived was one I knew well and who knew where I was working. I pointed out officer #1s headlight to officer #2, who told officer #1 to hand ME his ticket book and wait while I wrote him a ticket. Best....night....EVER. Officer #1 was a known @sshole with a habit of "frisking" young women a bit too thoroughly and often, so made my day.
I've always loved the dry wit and, despite the "language barrier", I seek out British comedy online. From droll wit to absurdly silly in 60 seconds.
When 'you applied for the job' photo should be him as a newborn to be accurate!

Load More Replies...I saw in an old issue of MAD Magazine that he won the Alfred E. Neumann likeness contest and won a free subscription.
This is correct, yes? As it would have been his investiture that made him the official heir to take over???
I'm not sure he was suited for anything else, so he had no alternative but patience.
British humor has long been recognized as unique and often difficult to understand for those not familiar with it. We asked Lucy Bella Simkins how she thinks British humor differs from the humor of other cultures. The teacher replied that sometimes they (Brits) can be pretty hard to read, and many find them to be offensive or passive-aggressive. “Some other humor styles are more direct and obvious, but there is a lot of overlap amongst English-speaking countries. We also have really dark humor, but people are becoming less tolerant of it."

I think I'll do a crime when I get old so I can have a real sentence. Heating, hot water, 3 hot meals and lots of interesting company. So much better than an old folks home smelling of overcooked cabbage, grouchy oldies smelling of pee and despair, and bingo.
I've been. I do NOT recommend. The 3 hots and a cot are actually 3 slightly higher than room temperature and a literal cot. The meals are made of food that often comes in boxes labeled Not For Human Consumption. There are horrible things that happened there, you will have no legal recourse, and no one will give a damn. I would take a nursing home any day.

Satire and irony are integral elements of British humor. According to Lucy Bella Simkins, Brits love ‘taking the p**s’ (making fun of something in a lighthearted way) of the absurdities of everyday life. “Some of our really popular comedians, like Michael Macintyre, became famous for simply mocking typical British habits like loving ‘queuing’ (waiting in line), getting frustrated when tourists stand on the wrong side of the escalator, and doing everything possible to avoid making eye contact when waiting in a lift (elevator!)”
Nooo! British Museum got no chill. Why didn't they have a bit of banter? I'm a Brit and I find this sort of jape jolly amusing.
Jape! I love when people dust off old or underused words, like galluses instead of suspenders
Load More Replies...The British Museum is just salty that they are being called out for stealing priceless antiquities from the countries that rightfully own them.
I think it hit a little too close to home. And that's not where the British Museum likes to collect from.
Doesn't make sense to me. Up North, we pronounce "scone" as in "gone". /s
Southern here and same. The pronunciation rhyming with "gone" is strong in Northern England and Scotland, and also the favoured pronunciation in Southern England, Wales, the Home Counties, and East Anglia. Also, that's how the Queen used to say it!!
Load More Replies...Regional pronunciation debate. They're making the joke on it sounding like "stone", but nothing on the fact that if it's stolen it s'gone
"Scown" is, in fact, the US pronunciation. In Britain we say skon.

British humor is known for its use of idioms and colloquialisms. These expressions add an extra layer of humor to jokes and can often be difficult for non-native speakers to understand. One such idiomatic expression commonly used in jokes, as shared by Lucy Bella Simkins, is ‘to give him/her/them one’. The teacher explained that it is a fairly juvenile idiom they like to use in jokes. “It can be used as an innuendo meaning to sleep with someone. Extra points if you say it without appearing to realize what you’ve said, other than a slight smirk at the end. ‘She asked me for a cucumber, so I gave her one.’ Not very high-brow, but after a pint or two it might get an unimpressed snort out of me.”
My favourite is still when the reporter asks how did they find America and Lennon replies we turned left at Greenland.

The team would have trashed the locker room, won the first half of the game and then ultimately lost when the opposing team reorganized, found a better coach, and then finally kicked them out of their locker room forever.
Well, the crusaders didn't behave well the last time they were in the Middle East a thousand years or so ago.

I was in a disco, when police showed up the DJ played the Star Wars music. It was epic!
The darth vader music dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum....
Load More Replies...If the police wish to push this issue, I imagine it would be as a complaint to the licencing board. Obviously playing the music is not a criminal offence, but who ever holds the license to sell alcohol is required to do so in a professional manner. I think this is north Wales, and it's safe to assume a one off incident would have caused a chuckle. However, if it is a pattern of behaviour - the local council would warn the management to stop or loose their alcohol licence. License boards can be quite strict, which is generally popular with local residents.
Load More Replies...OK I'll bite -- what's all this with Peppa Pig stuff? (Ignorant/uninformed American)
I will guess that since pigs is what are cops called in many countries, the DJ informed people that the police is in

Most of the time the "reason" not to wear a mask is exactly the reason to wear a mask and sad to hear that Sainsbury's doesn't care about those who really can't wear ask by not challenging the ones who just don't give a f**k about others.
You're completely right about the reason to wear/not wear a mask often being one and the same! The problem was that people could 'self-identify' as having a health condition that made mask wearing a problem and how were staff to know? Shop managers were worried about staff having to approach people and getting thumped for asking. No good answer when you have selfish people who won't consider others.

This is what happens when you don't use proper punctuation and format.

I think this one is a bit unfair, Lord Elgin paid for the marbles, but no one seems to know if the agreement was misinterpreted or not. I haven’t been to Greece, but I think Cyprus is similar in terms of their attitude to ancient history and archaeology (please let me know if this is wrong though!) and when I visited Cyprus, you’re free to walk and climb around many historical ruins, and they have only in recent years started to really care and invest in archaeological research. I feel it’s a bit like me selling something on eBay, then a few years later deciding it’s worth more and wanting it back!
Hmmm, look what happened when ISIS decided to get rid of the history of what was to become their "Caliphate". Most of what is in any museum, not just the British Museum has either been gifted or bought.
American museums are not only dealing with artifacts from the Middle East and Africa, but Native Americans are rising up and demanding their property be returned. Returning their property is the least former colonizers can do after turning their lives and lands upside down.
They have stolen other things too. There's a fair bit of Aboriginal Artifacts and they have lost the head of Pemulway, a resistance fighter during the early days of occupation. It was common practice to behead Aboriginal warriors and send the head back to England.
Hey, these countries should be thanking the Brits for saving their cultural artifacts. If they had been left where they were, they probably wouldn’t exist now. The Turks used to use the Acropolis as the target for artillery practice. There wouldn’t even be marbles to fight about if it wasn’t for Elgin. The Xtians and the Muslims destroyed so much of what was left by ancient Egypt. And on and on…do I really need to bring up the Bamiyan Buddhas?
But considering what the modern Muslim Egyptians and Syrians did to their own wonderful ancient carvings probably a good thing!
The thing is though outside of Northern Ireland and those tiny pockets of Britain where knobheaads do Orange marches, Irish and British people get on brilliantly. Lots of famous Irish TV personalities in Britain even all through the troubles, and always had people moving across the sea to study and work. Where I'm from in the North of England everyone has a least one Irish Grandparent. Let's all stop willingly supporting hate and actually try and move forward on with these things please.
How can the beef be both British and Irish at the same time? I'd rather not know.
It's sourced from both countries, not at the same time. The label is used across the UK, and Ireland, so they don't have to have different packaging.

Jerry Lewis tried to revive silent comedy in the 1960s, and watching the result you say to yourself “Okay, I guess this is where we’re expected to laugh.” But another thirty years later Rowan Atkinson actually succeeded.
Learned of Rowen via Bean on BBC (Canadian TV - lived near boarder). Later enjoyed Dark Adder and others. After all the comedy roles, a weird one for me was Maigret . He played the role well enough, it was just weird mentally adjusting to a serious, kind of grumpy Rowen. He was doing serious acting but my brain kept seeing the face of Mr. Bean.
He does act as if he just fell to earth with no experience of how things work.

"Made away themselves" - Oh, good. I was getting tired of "unalived themselves".
So many questions? Death by "planet"? WTH is "King's Evil"? "Rising of the Lights?" that sounds like some short lived indy rock band.
1.The influence of the stars and planets was considered a potential cause of disease as people were uneducated on certain diseases 2.King's Evil was a tubercular infection of the throat lymph glands and named on the belief that the cure was a touch from a monarch 3. Rising of the lights was an illness or obstructive condition of the larynx, trachea, or lungs, possibly croup. Lights in this case referred to the lungs. Rockstar sounding ways to die nonetheless

Ha, ha. Someone swapped the Jesus for a penguin last year, at the nativity scene down the street from us.
Gregg's could have claimed that, in their Christmas nativity scene, they replaced a pork pie, a steak bake and a cornish pasty with the three wise men. That way, it would appear that they had sacrificed all but the mighty sausage roll in honour of Jesus. This may be controversial, but if I was offered a Gregg's sausage roll or Jesus, I would probably choose a steak bake, because that's my favourite. Other two, not so much. But that's just me.
He could be three owls in a trenchcoat. Or a Headless Roach holding up a mannequin head. You never know.
Oh thank goodness they think it's three owls. I've slipped under the radar!

Load More Replies...Yes, that is exactly what a studio flat in London looks like and how much it costs. And no pets.
Oooh, this one probably has a bog though! The one I saw for 2 grand/m required the renter to use the public bog in the pizza place next door.
"a superb and luxuriously hand finished bed, unusually, but thoughtfully and strategically placed over a lovely tiled bath, completes the small but spacious room"...
We once had a case of wine delivered to the neighbour opposite. He was a recovering alcoholic. He didn't touch it, but we felt bad for him.
I am still amazed this is an option. Australia post just takes it to the post office for pick up. (Half the time when I was in Melbourne we would be home, but the driver wouldn't even approach the door, one of the benefits of moving to the country is I've not had the same experience here)
Unfortunately most delivery drivers just go by GPS, and they don't have time to read any specific instructions on the parcels. Although,at least they left a note telling you where it is. My postie does occasionally when he can ba arsed.
This is true for every country. What is particularly special for Britain is that they do the world's most accurate surveys.
I am a Brit and the Independent is a reliable and trustworthy source of news.
well the british public did vote for brexit so if that's not proof I don't know what is.
Does that mean that survey could be wrong about British people being wrong?
I mean, this is why democracy doesn't work. It took until the internet was invented to realise it, but basically everyone is mentally ill. Nobody would recognise reality if you hung it from their nose by a septum ring.
Is it the same lady that wished to be arrested ? After being good all her life ?
When you reach 100, there’s almost nothing you should be able to do if you like, in my view!
Trust me, you do not wish for that disease. Besides, anyone looks silly if taken a picture of when eating.

At least they think about the future of their country 😔

Oh good grief! This guy is something of a celebrity among English football supporters. He's called 'Tango Man' because he resembles a guy who was in an ad for the fizzy drink, years ago. He attends every Sheffield Wednesday match, and sits/stands on the Kop. Regardless of the weather, he sees each match as the perfect opportunity to set his man boobs free and take off his shirt. You can see the disappointment in his little, chubby face as the steward tells him to put it back on again. The funny thing is, this guy lives in Birmingham, and travels 85 miles to every HOME game. That's pretty hardcore support.
" And I would've gotten away with it, if it hadn't been for that meddling safety vest guy."
Zoom in on his moobs on the jumbotron I assume.

The easiest way to spot a Londoner is if they have a Manchester United tattoo or shirt. They probably wouldn't be able to find Old Trafford if they were on a guided tour. (The easiest way to spot a Leeds United fan is if they make derogatory comments about Manchester United 'fans'). lol
100% true. Where as when asked if i support Manchester United, i say no I'm from Manchester i support city.😅
Load More Replies...And on the seventh day, Manchester City sold itself to the United Arab Emirates.
This c**p here is why the rest of Europe thinks the English are so ugly.
I couldn't read the end of Manchester and thought it said Manchestry and that I was once more out of the witty comments loop because I'm old.
For once this Scot ain't gonna point out that it's the UK instead of just England!
Perhaps they purposely excluded you as they find you, the Northern Irish, and the Welsh more attractive!

Looks like drop dead fred when he pulls his head out of the closed fridge door
Oh Jesus, it looks like Edgar from Men in Black lol! AFTER the alien bug has started wearing "him" lol!
No, to make the deal work they have to start drinking just before 11. Earlier than that is optional.
Load More Replies...Is this from one of those odd lockdown times? Like when you could only get a pint with a substantial meal, which led to a lot of speculation about what a substantial meal is (much of the discussion was about scotch eggs). At one point, my parents local pub put their property up on purple bricks and had a sign outside charging people to come view the property - viewing comes with 'free pint'
I thought you couldn't serve or buy alcohol BEFORE 11am? Or has that changed since I renounced civilisation?
A small breakfast of bacon, sausage, egg, beans, tomatoes and toast/bread?? 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Funnily enough, that is usually called a Big Breakfast in Melbourne! Though often also has mushrooms as well.

You know you're in London when you're lying on the footpath and people step over you without slowing down.
Some of these are just normal memes, not just British ones. Or maybe I'm turning Bri ish.??? Oh naur
Little help please someone: I can't see them all. I have this orange bar with 'show 21 more' that I keep pressing to no avail.
