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.

Yeah, that is a more traditional form of policing in villages in the UK. It is a still from the movie, 'Hot Fuzz'. This is what the poster for the movie looks like, and it's fairly accurate to the end of the movie. Hot-Fuzz-6...48eccb.jpg

It's easy to hide behind a gun. Not so easy to tackle a swan bare handed. Those things are vicious and can k**l you.

I would never fight a swan or goose. I have seen a goose beat up a brown bear and a swan beat up a cougar. If one of them wants something it is theirs. I even had to befriend/feed some geese because they blocked my apartment entrance on the regular (both front door and patio door).

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!

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!
