Generally, when most of us think about a good time or a funny meme, it doesn’t have, say, an x and y axis or data labels. But it’s important to not limit yourself, the truth is that clever folks out there can make good content out of anything.
The “Funny Charts” online group is dedicated to amusing, creative, and informative graphs that attempt to mix data with humor. From helpful guides to assist in creating insults, to statistical breakdowns of Eminem’s songs, get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites, and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments section.

Sitting at over fifteen thousand followers, the "Funny Charts" internet group is on an important mission to reclaim graphs from the clutches (and notoriety) of maths and economics. As is clearly on display here, a little creative spark can do wonders. Indeed, if you take a step back, it's easy to see how the standard structure of memes actually fits pretty well.
After all, memes tend to use standard, recognized layouts to communicate the joke. This is just as true for graphs, which need to have certain attributes to even function. Despite their reputation as a dry, analytical tool, it's worth giving graphs and charts a second chance. Indeed, unlike "raw" text, it's a pretty visual way to showcase information.

It's not that hard to imagine more artistically inclined people being able to engage with data displayed this way. Research does suggest that visual indicators are actually pretty important in learning. You might say, well, a graph is just words and figures laid out on a matrix, not a paragraph, but it's important to note that the visual layout is a key component in what we take away from this sort of information.

Confusing To Every American
Yes! This is the first time it actually makes sense. I'm saving this and using it as a reference every time someone talks about England, Great Britain, and the UK.
Load More Replies... On second thought, let us not go to the British Isles. Tis a silly place *bangs coconut 🥥 🥥*
I don't take the time to memorize the names of all my nieces and nephews, so this doesn't have a chance.
Kudos for remembering Sealand! (my wife gave me a citizenship to Sealand for Christmas one year!)

In over 50 years I've never once heard anyone mention 'The British Islands'!?!? Also, the Duchy of Cornwall, with its own unique language, flag, foods, etc. tends to think of itself as being a separate Celtic nation from England (just like Scotland, Ireland & Wales).
The British Islands is a legal entity in a few narrow contexts.

I’m American and I’ve finally gotten this down - and it only took almost half a century
*confusing to literally everyone living outside of that area lol
I'm American and I'm not remotely confused by this. Hand me a map and I'll fill it with all of these.
You could also do this with the americas, North America, United States, then each state and call that confusing.
We never had geography after elementary school (Florida) in the 70's. They wanted to focus on the why's instead of the where's. However, after learning most of what I know about geography as an adult, the where's can really explain the why's.

What's with the islands that are a part of Scotland, but not a part of Great Britain?
Yep, Orkney and the Shetlands are, as are all the other 900 8slands that make up Scotland. The OP failed on this one.

Poor Alderney and Sark. The forgotten Channel Islands.
And let's not forget that there are 6 different types of British nationality too -> https://britishpassport.ca/faqs/what-is-british-nationality/
We are the United Kingdom or Great Britian and Northern Island. The Republic of Ireland is NEVER included and is in fact still part of the European Union and uses the Euros. Many British people are trying to trace their ancestry back to RoI to get citizenship and therefore, a member of the EU.
Yeah. I'll never get this right. Isle of Man is a thing? I'm hosed.
The Isle of Man is a self-governing Brutish Dependancy. They are not part of the UK either. Along with Jersey and Guernsey, they territories for which the United Kingdom is responsible" rather than sovereign states.

As a member of the Commonwealth I need this poster sized and block mounted. It's incredibly informative.
Not every. I've got this. I even know where the Isle of Sheppey is.
Not confusing to all Americans. You just have to read a couple of sentences.
Yep.. not to just Americans... I once had to ask (Market Survey) a woman if her original background was "British Isles" - as she had proudly and repeatedly noted that she was Irish... and the SECOND I said it, she got super offended and was just all "I think NOT!" - and I just... didn't have it in me that day to say "... Please, British ISLES, not the UK... not Britain, not British Islands..."
It's not so much confusing and it is overwhelming. Most of us Americans are still learning where the states are on the map and their capitals. Now, we gotta learn where other countries are in Europe and their capitals, come on.
I'm not convinced the first two are correct. Nice they covered the Crown Dependencies (3 and 4) but you forgot all of the 14 Overseas Territories! Remember, not and empire no no no. Oh and the Commonwealth.
Not every American. Some of us paid attention in school. I'll even argue that the first picture is NOT the British Isles and everyone in the Republic of Ireland will agree with me.
I know this sounds gloaty but I’m not intending that, I’m just SO excited that I knew all this! And that my constant need to take geography quizzes late into the night is actually paying off!
Normally use The UK... Just leave out the Republic of Ireland. Simples
Because they are independent. That is a bit of a rabbit hole

One thing I always remember is that Ireland (not North Ireland) gives two middle fingers to the UK
You obviously didn't look at the maps properly. Ireland contains part of the UK.

+ Wales, + Northern Ireland, + The Commonwealth, + The British Empire, etc.
There is no British Empire. (The 15 British Overseas Territories don't count - the US has a global empire with a population many times bigger even if you only include Puerto Rico!) And the Commonwealth is barely more than a Colonialism Survivors Support Group.
Load More Replies... Of course its confusing. We have states bigger than that who are less confusing.
Yes, most land areas with a single name are indeed less confusing than that.

This is all to say that it's unfair to pigeonhole graphs and charts into the "boring" category. The items here are a clear indicator that it's a lot more complex than that. So be sure to perhaps save the items here that you might find useful later. Even as a text-biased observer, I have to admit, that it's a lot faster to glance at a chart than pursue a block of text.
