We just can’t stop talking about the UK. It’s definitely a place rich in culture, history, and—it goes without saying—memes.
Humor is definitely a strong point among Brits, providing ample potential and talent for UK-focused memes to thrive online. This is evident from the vast number of British meme pages out there, including this one found on Instagram.

Some times Gordon really is the spokesperson for all the things we wish we could say lol
Us average people can barely even process reaching adulthood without having cereal with milk...
Most nights it’s caviar and champagne, except on budget night when it’s camembert and chardonnay.

I do love Gordon Ramsey’s sardonic humour. I kind of wish Gordon also called Kylie an “idiot sandwich.”
That would insult both idiots and sandwiches. Even Gordon knows better than that.

Her head will probably explode if she puts baked beans on that buttered toast
Have you seen the state of of all the Kardashian ar.ses....I don't recommend she do that, if it catches on in the family we risk a nuclear winter.

Genuine question: is it really not common to butter sandwiches in US? My American colleague was mind blown after trying butter, ham and cheese sarnie
he said butter on toast, not on a sandwich. unless you're suffering from nausea or something, dry toast is the gastronomic equivalent of dry cereal, i.e., who DOES that??? which is the point gordon was making, i believe...

Those girls were raised by a businesswoman who did not care about their emotions one bit and put all of her children on diets from an early age as well as encouraging them to alter their bodies with surgery... That's abuse and bashing her for this is completely ignoring that reality.
I remember this post, and then people called her out for posting pics before of her "breakfast" which had cereal with milk. 🙄 So dumb she doesn't even know how dumb she is.
I know this post is about British humor (sorry, humour), but can I also point out that her father--back when he still was her father--was on the cover of what is probably the most famous Wheaties box ever following the 1976 Olympics! And you've never eaten cereal, Kylie? Seriously? Agree with Gordon wholeheartedly.
When my father was hungry in the evening after dinner, he used to have a bowl of cornflakes, but he called them cornpads!
I would love to see that entire clan live like Mother Theresa for a month.
Thank you so very much, Gordon. You'll never know how this made me feel.
Life changing? Life changingly nasty. Soggy cereal is gross, and so is milk. And so is Kylie Jenner.
Good thing you don't come to me for breakfast, then. Cereal, plenty of milk, then 30 seconds in the microwave to make it soft. I can't eat it crunchy. (I know nothing about Kylie Jenner.)

my childhood was chockful of cereal, with milk... for breakfast, lunch AND dinner.
I often think I am a blunt asscunt but then I see gordon ramsay and I realise I am actually quite nice.
Usually, when I see Gordon Ramsey, I think, "Ffs,stop being such a wänker and give them a real böllocking!"

If you’ve been following us in the recent months, then you probably noticed a number of British meme pages being discussed on the website. There’s definitely a handful of them out there, and featured this time around is LaughsUK on Instagram. The page was originally created back in mid 2020 and has since brought together over 95,000 followers, providing them with a good British laugh.
And now in other "things that didn't happen, Uncle Roger praised a Jamie Oliver recipe!"
The page deals in a variety of memes. All very British, of course.
Yes, Gordon Ramsey is a key figure. Yes, we have to talk about the electrical sockets too. Yes, royalty is still a thing. Oh, and we can’t forget about the food. And the random nicknames. And the facial expressions. You get the point.
So, why is the UK so popular as a subject for memes? We briefly discussed this in another UK memes article right here on Bored Panda, where Very Brexit Problems founder Joel Willans pointed out that there are several reasons behind the popularity.
For one, the UK has great influence on the modern world because of its past—colonialism, the Industrial Revolution, as well as its culture and language playing a key part in it.
The linguistic legacy is also a significant factor in all of this. For one, because it’s a lingua franca—a common language of billions, providing vast potential for puns and wordplay and hence epic memes. But pair that up with the idea that memes are a form of communication (and pair it up also with the historical significance of the culture) and people are sure to share them.
But, above all, folks online can't help but appreciate British humor. After all, just look at all these UK-focused meme pages out there—it’s a gold mine.
It’s irony, sarcasm, and self depreciation—very appropriate strokes of humor as far as internet culture goes. Throw in some unexpected punchlines and absurdity into the mix, slap on an appropriate visual, and you’re set.
Ultimately, memes are a mode of communication—or at least it has become so in the modern world. It’s a way to express culturally relevant ideas, whether it is just for giggles or with a higher purpose in mind. Mostly giggles, yes, but as a social phenomenon—one that relates to cultures and subcultures and can spread rapidly—it has found itself as a more serious form of communication.
Besides laughs, memes can also be used for viral marketing. It taps into the same potential for rapid spread and relatability to achieve business goals of advertising and spreading awareness of the brand among current and future customers.
Memes tend to elicit better reactions from audiences because of their nature of being fit for social media. That, and the shareability puts memes in a situation where it’s criminal for companies to ignore.
Another non-giggle aspect of memes is how it can be used to advance human rights and socially-responsible agendas. Not too long ago, Bored Panda covered another meme page—Misandrist Memes.
On the surface, it’s a page that shares memes about how and why men are just the worst. But underneath it all, it’s a satirical stream of memes that sheds light on the need to push for equal rights among genders.
I found some data on this. The US consumes about 9.5 liters of pure ethanol per capita over the age of 15. The UK is estimated at 11.4 liters per capita. The EU average is 11.3 liters and the world average is 6.4 liters. EDIT: anually
Ultimately, in the case of UK memes, it’s a celebration of all things British in practically one of the very few ways the internet knows how. And that is memes.
Between all the laughs, you learn a thing or two about the country, its history, social, cultural and political aspects, and then it likely becomes a fact or a gag you casually throw out at a party to impress friends.
And that’s how it starts. You just shared it.

Of course. "Hey Phil, is he using the hammer masonry drill?" "Yeah, DeWalt cordless"
"Der Hundertjährige, der aus dem Fenster stieg und verschwand"?
For the Scottish police, that's not what they got in a raid, that's just their lunch =P
I literally have nightmares that start like this, and end with the car flipping backwards and or rolling down the bill backwards
Yeah, that's the thing with missing people Ellie!- not knowing where they are is kinda the whole point!
If the first one is British culture then the Kardashians are American culture.
Bloated after 3 KitKat Chunkys? Fücking lightweight.

I’m American but I love British culture so much. It’s so funny in contexts like this.
Here’s the thing about these articles. All the ones about America are always bashing it. Basically saying “Here’s why America and all its citizens are the absolute worst”, but all the ones about Europe are lightly making fun of its culture and drinking and mostly just include jokes.
