50 Chaotic British Memes That Only People From The U.K. Will Truly Understand
Interview
The 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. Enjoy scrolling through these pics that might make you crave a cup of tea and a scone with clotted cream, and keep reading to find a conversation with George Bacon, Director & CEO of GBM Group!

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."

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.

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. Keep upvoting all of your favorites, and let us know in the comments below what you love most about the beautiful U.K. Then, if you're looking for even more British humor, you can find another Bored Panda article featuring similar pics right here!

If it's a beer drinking contest the UK wins hands down, because as Monty Python Said. "American beer is like making love in a Canoe. Making Love in a Canoe? Yeah, It's F*****G close to water!"

I'll put the contents of my beer fridge up against yours any day. Forget the Anheuser-Busch or Coors p!ss. We have a *LOT* of really good smaller breweries around here. Port City, Devil's Backbone, Dogfish Head, Alewerks, a lot more I can't think of at the moment. Alewerks Tropical is a good blonde ale with guava and mango notes, 7.0% ABV. Port City Monkspell and Tidings are delightful, and run about 8.5%. Stores here do a good business in imported beer, as well. One of my favorite restaurants has its own on-site microbrewery, with over 30 varieties. (They rotate; usually six or seven on tap at any time.) Yes, there is a lot of swill here, and too many people who willingly put up with it. But don't assume that all 330 million Yanks are the same. The UK might indeed win, but my money says it won't even be close to 'hands down' if so.

Thought about why for a moment. It seems that messing up and just calling it a good time and moving on is more accepted in the U.K. Here, you feel shame and hide it. The hiding it seems to be a vehicle to make it heavier but trying to be in secret I guess.

As a South American I'm not seeing how this is a flex. Are you arguing over who has the most alcoholics?
Wondering Alice 9 months ago
It is not uncommon here for non alcoholics to have a heavy drinking session. I'm not saying it's good or anything, just that a crowd can happily go out and drink a a lot, but then happily not drink or think about alcohol for ages. There are people who are not t total and not alcoholic s

I'd agree, except that if you are talking about backwoods southern U.S., the bootheel of Missouri and basically all of West Virginia, I think you have a pretty good chance of losing.

per capita, the UK drinks only slightly more than the US. We just send our rednecks and hicks to go up against the UK, and we crush any day. You havent seen drinking, until you go to Rural America, especially the redneck south

lol, my family has an insane alcohol tolerance... my grandparents always said it was the Welsh and Polish blood in us. Vodka is my drink of choice and it takes 6-7 drinks for me to get drunk (though tipsy is around 4). When I haven't eaten it is only reduced by 1 maybe 2... We are from Michigan.

I have heard about the binge drinking problem in the UK. The USA has problems but other kinds of problems. We now have good beer.
