These Memes And Posts About The British Impeccably Describe The People Living There (40 Pics)
Arguably, humor is the best export of the British. It’s so bold, clever, and loaded with puns that it can take you out immediately.

An English comedian named Ricky Gervais wrote in Time that it's often dangerous to generalize. But then, if he was under threat, he would say that "Americans are more 'down the line."
"They don't hide their hopes and fears. They applaud ambition and openly reward success," he added.
Garvid also said that even though irony appears smarter in US comedies, Americans do not make use of it as much socially as the British. He said that Americans use it "as liberally as prepositions in everyday speech."
But there’s something else that the rest of the world may not know, and that is that in the United Kingdom, nothing and no one is beyond reach. So you will routinely see lawmakers being derided, and this includes people in the public eye, including the Royal Family, and it is all a fair game.
In any case, the UK has a good number of hit sitcoms where essentially nothing happens other than day-to-day life. There are no "woah" moments except for a ton of cringey scenarios.
So let’s take a look at the way of life that molds it. British Memes is an internet project that depicts what life is like on this side of the universe.
