50 Chaotic British Memes That Only People From The U.K. Will Truly Understand
InterviewThe United Kingdom is famous for many things. We can thank the country for giving us the English language, David Attenborough, fish and chips and some of the best live theatre you’ll find in the entire world. But if you’ve ever spent any time around Brits, you’ll know that they also have an impeccable sense of humor (sorry, I’m not going to put a 'u' in that word).
To prove this point, we took a trip to the Great British Memes subreddit. Whether you’re from the U.K. or just want to chuckle at some of their best jokes, you’ll find a compilation of their silliest and most relatable posts down below.

To find out more about the Great British Memes subreddit, we got in touch with George Bacon, Director & CEO of GBM Group. He was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and share how this meme-sharing community started in the first place.
"I started the Great British Memes account over 8 years ago whilst at university, with the subreddit over 3 years old now," the creator said. "It's great to see that the group has grown in popularity along with the brand across other channels, we've built a very strong community who support us on everything."

We also asked George what his favorite aspects of U.K. culture to poke fun at are "There's so much to talk about when it comes to British culture," he noted. "Some of our favorite topics/talking points [are]: the weather, North versus South divide, 'What are you having for tea?', British cuisine such as fish and chips, etc. and British dads using the thumbs up emoji."

But in England it's rural when you're 10 miles from an urban centre and 800 miles from any wilderness. They say rural but they just mean contains sheep.
This Is So Real
And what is the community like in r/GreatBritishMemes? "The members in the subreddit are very active and are always looking to upload suggestions into the subreddit, which is great!" George says. "However, there's a lot of moderation to do to keep on top of it."
Hmmmm…
A Very British Answer 😂
I Wouldn't Be Mad Tbf
Next, we asked George if he has any favorite posts that he's ever seen shared in the subreddit. "There's so many to choose from, it's hard to narrow it down to one," he told Bored Panda. "But this one in particular always circulates the internet every few months and is very funny!"
"One of our client's memes actually ended up in our subreddit by a member, which is always good to see from a branded point of view," George added.

Haha, I just discovered my bf only knows certain classical music pieces as they are the tune to several football chants!
And finally, the creator wants to encourage anyone interested to join the Great British Memes community. "We're very close to 1M members," George shared. "So if you're not already, make sure you're following us!

Ironically, the same people who "Love a kebab after a few pints" are a large overlap on a Venn diagram with "people who vote Reform because they're sick of immigrants". These sorts of contradictions seem to crop up a lot among those with a very, very low IQ (anyone who votes Reform, basically).
We hope you're enjoying your journey through these silly British memes, pandas.

Yesterday a bint in tesco asked to use my clubcard and it was then I learnt that I get extra points and she got clubcard price - we both won.
I remember being I Sainsbury’s and listening to the poor cashier explaining to a lady that if she just used a nectar card she would get £40 off her bill. They explained they didn’t need to use it ever again or even sign up to use the card and the woman point blank refused!
Load More Replies...Weird to have constant comparisons between UK and US. Can't compare the UK to other countries? Other countries exist other than those two.
Well a lot of these are the same in Australia so it's not so interesting
Load More Replies...I love these, and I'm not even British... probably need to learn more about British culture tbh, I do say that I am ignorant of most things of other countries and I need to change that... :(
