50 Pics That Describe America Perfectly, As Shared By This Facebook Page
Interview
There’s hardly anything more polarizing than asking a group of people what they think of the United States and the American way of life, whether they’re locals or not. On one side, you have the crowd that is 110% in support of B I G cars, cowboy-like freedom, and chants USA, USA, USA! every chance they get because it’s the land of opportunity and the best nation on God’s green Earth. On the other side, you have folks who believe that America is so profoundly flawed that it can’t ever do anything right and it’s just rushing towards disaster without any hope for redemption—they see only the downsides. Somewhere in the middle, you have the realistic moderates who see the US as a country full of potential and appreciate just how warm the people there are, but also see the need for change in key areas.
However, today we’re throwing moderation and realism out the window and embracing the over-the-top, the larger-the-life, and the we-have-more-freedom-than-you for the sake of humor. We’re featuring the best memes from the ‘Wow, That is VIOLENTLY American’ Facebook page, and the name really doesn’t lie. It’s a social media project that documents things that are as American as possible, viewed through the stereotypical lens of the internet. Scroll down for a good laugh, and tell us what you think America is all about in the comments, dear Pandas.
Warning: lots of satire incoming. Before we get started, just keep in mind that nobody’s making fun of the US here. It's not about Democrat vs. Republican. We know that America is awesome. We also know that America has its share of deeply-concerning issues. However, it’s healthy to laugh at oneself once in a while and to learn to embrace the cultural weirdness in all of its glory.
Bored Panda got in touch with the founder of 'Wow, That Is VIOLENTLY American,' a marine veteran from Florida. They were kind enough to share their thoughts about the inspiration behind the project and its success, how America isn't as homogenous as some might think, and how people react to some of the content they post. You'll find the full interview about biases being challenged and discussions being started as you scroll down.

To honest, I am surprised the Americans still call it English and not American.

I'm pretty sure it's a nod to an episode of "The Office", where Dwight and Jim plan a birthday party for Kelly. Among other things, Dwight puts up a sign that says "It is your birthday", stating later in the episode "well, it's a fact". The balloons are also the same. Also, the guy is dressed like Dwight.

This should be illegal. Gun cases should be marked as such and have a distinct form. And, you know, there shouldn't be gun cases available for normal citizens at all, besides regulated sport and hunting weapons, that are definitely NOT assault rifles! Oh and the ammunition should be, here in Germany it is by law, not stored with the gun.

It's photoshopped as a joke. There's a watermark "Adam the creator" on the side of the bottle. Check his Facebook or Insta, he's quite funny.

As an American, I’m sorry. Trust me, most of us are normal. It’s just the few bad people are the loudest. Also: multiple days during school we had events cancelled because someone threatened to shoot up the school…

We know mate, we know. I am a brit, and I hate all these anti-American stuff. It's the equivalent of people thinking we're all football hooligans with no teeth who can't cook, are fixated on some old bird on a throne and constantly wet cos of all the rain... Some of us use umbrellas.

I’m getting really sick of these articles. For the last time, stuff like this makes every decent American feel awful too. Stop mashing us all together!

What is it with Bored Panda's editors obsession with the US and all that is bad? It is only one country out of 196. I'm sure you can do better!

Yes but most countries don't make a big song and dance about being so fantastic then proceeded to not pay a livable wage, not provide decent health care, try to bankrupt their students before their career starts and finally most countries are actively trying to stop people harming children in a very bad way. Your country is awful.
