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 ofGBM 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 We 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 communitywho 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?’, Britishcuisinesuch as fish and chips, etc. and Britishdads using the thumbs up emoji.”

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.”

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 We. “Butthisone 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.
