50 Funny Times Brits Was Caught Just Being Brits, As Shared In This Group (New Pics)
Interview
From the London skyline to skipping the “t’s” in a bunch of words (think “bottle of water” in an English accent,) the UK has cemented itself in our collective psyche, one way or another. But actually living in Britain isn’t just Harry Potter-esque castles and endless crumpets with tea, as we can now learn through the magic of the internet.
The “Casual UK” group is a place for Brits to share those little moments that can only be found in the UK. English streets, mug comparisons, and complaints about eccentric neighbors all make an appearance. We also reached out to British comedy writer and stand-up comedian Davina Bentley to learn more. So get comfortable, maybe get a cup of tea and be sure to upvote your favorite posts.

Bench Memorial At Stanmer Park, Brighton
Bored Panda got in touch with UK comedy writer and stand-up comedian Davina Bentley to ask some questions about humor and comedy in Britain compared to the rest of the English-speaking world. After all, despite similarities in language, everything from media to stand-up has its own nuances from place to place.
“English humor is bleaker. It’s less earnest than say American humor and it’s weirder. Because British people are particularly idiosyncratic and English humor reflects that. We like things a bit gritty and unpolished.”

My Mate's New Pet - Lamborghini
We also wanted to hear what she thought were some of the most visible differences between how Brits approach “funny” characters, in comparison to, say, Americans. “The characters. English culture doesn’t always celebrate “winners” or jocks, it sometimes celebrates “losers” and I think that could be a struggle. To make sense to a US audience, Tim from the office had to be “glowed up” from Martin Freeman to John Krasinski.”

Finally, we wanted to know what Davina's quintessential UK experience was. “Dancing to Girls Aloud at a wedding, Smirnoff Ice from the corner shop, and crying in Topshop,” she told us, so perhaps add it to your to-do list when you are planning your next trip to Britain. You can find Davina’s comedy videos and sketches on Instagram here and on TikTok here.

She accidentally pressed a combination of keys that set off the alert by default.

"... “bottle of water” in an English accent..." This bugs me. There is no "English accent", we probably have a greater variety of distinct accents as a proportion of area than most other countries, and we have dozens of regional dialects. The glottalised T is not a universal English phenomenon (nor a uniquely English one).

Quick question for the British. Why does your bacon look like that? It's still very good, but it looks nothing like American bacon.
Ace 2 years ago (edited)
In the UK they have broadly speaking two types of bacon, streaky, which is like your American bacon but not usually so thinly cut, and back bacon which us like what you call Canadian. Both cuts are available in various cures, smoked, unsmoked, dry cured, etc. Not sure if you can still get it but there used to be what was called 'middle' bacon, simply the back and the streaky parts not cut off from each other. France labels streaky bacon as 'poitrine' which roughly means breast, and sometimes has something called bacon which is actually just the round centre of back bacon with all the fat trimmed off, intended to be eaten uncooked (though it's already cured).
