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!

The town i live in is from around 750 a.c. maybe older... USA is just a tiny pinpoint in history... Good burn!
Gregory Garcia 9 months ago
Have you had the same government for 250 years or were you a Soviet state last century. Youre looking for a burn where there isnt one. The Japanese existed before 1945, and the Chinese before 1948 but theyve changed govts several times in all that time. Rome lasted 1000 years if you count the fall of Byzantium. But the govt changed several times

I find it curious to hear the U.K. and USA argue over their "lengthy" history, while Chinese civilization has endured over 4000 years.

TYVM!!! China, Rome, Greece, Egypt and Persia. Those are just the most well known in modern culture but there are so many more....

Perhaps he is referring to a enduring form of government. He'd still be wrong. I don't know why the cult of stupidity is so strongly embedded in my country but it is and the internet has given them a mighty big megaphone.
MsPlants 9 months ago
I honestly dont know and I live here. I think its a lack of reading skills and comprehension. Also a LOT of main character syndrome. when I read this post about no country older than 250 years ever it was so stupid I wasnt even gonna comment. SOOOOOO many counties and civilizations longer than 250 years.

This is a garbled mishmash that comes originally from the historical idea that the mean average life of an empire is about 250 years. A way different idea.

Britain has had MANY changes in govt in 2000 years. Their current system is only 200 years old. Kings had power and lost it in leaps and bounds. Charlie 3 cant dress himself. Wulls needs to man up or they'll become a full on Republic. France is on its 7th Republic, Germanys govt is just from 1991. The most stable govt in Europe? Iceland. Hasnt changed in 1000 years

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."

#12

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.
