The UK has its own breed of humor and what gets a Brit laughing may leave outsiders scratching their heads.

Heavy on self-deprecation, almost undetectable sarcasm, and constant deadpan delivery, it can feel like a totally different language.

But fear not, we’ve put together a new piece about the social media magazine 'British Memes' to help you understand (and use!) their jokes just as effectively as they do.

So continue scrolling and happy learning!

Oh, it's fun getting to these before the censors kick in. 🤣

From Shakespeare’s comedies to Billy Connolly’s command of an audience, Gavin & Stacey’s taste of Welsh whimsy to Derry Girls’ earthy look at life in the 1990s, humor has been central to the history of storytelling across the UK for a very long time.

But if you ask an academic to come up with a description for British humor, they will most likely run into some trouble.

Dr. Ian Wilkie, a lecturer in performance at the University of Salford, said: “Having taught younger American students, they take the British sense of humor to be Monty Python, by which they mean a sort-of slightly erring towards the surreal, very iconoclastic in terms of attacking the big targets, very silly.”

Thank you! I hate those awards, because I missed one day off of school before, and despite being told I'm one of the best students, like in the top five, I got nothing. It unfair and stupid Edit: I got a prize for attendance today 🙃

However, Wilkie said that, while those traits can become shorthand for ‘the British sense of humor’, he doesn’t think “that cuts the mustard.”

Dr. Wilkie highlighted that there are already differences in popular humor in the four home nations. It diversifies even more between the major cities, making it difficult to pinpoint a blanket ‘British’ humor.

In America 2 hours is a short drive and 200 years is a long time, in the UK 2 hours is a long drive and 200 years is a short time. In other words everything is relative. I drive 90 minutes each way to do my weekly shopping and old towns are celebrating their centennials here in Minnesota.

In New England, it's kinda like old England as the states are small so you can drive for an hour and have been to 3 states, and each one (CT, MA, RI, VT, NH, ME) has its own accent and vernacular. I love that to Mainers, the rest of us are "flatlanders", even though NH is mountainous and is where Mt Washington is located.

Yep. in MA milk/ice cream/syrup = frappe and a milkshake is just milk and syrup. In bordering states a milkshake has ice cream in it, except Rhode Island where it can be called a cabinet. And then there is soda, tonic and pop in various states.

Absolutely! Not only do different towns have different accents, but individual areas of the town are different too. (To a trained, local ear. I suspect outsiders would struggle.)

S**t everyone in my area goes "to the lake" frequently on weekends when it's nice. By "the lake" we mean Lake of the Ozarks, a few hours drive away. This is a normal thing around here. Hell my kids partner live near the lake and we barely consider it a long distance relationship.

Canada is a massive country. I often forget this. A German friend once told me they moved in with another friend "on the other side of Germany" but then also said they'd have to go back to their old place the next day to take care of something. I was like "But.. but... how are you getting so much time off work???" they're like "uhh, it's 2 days..." - yes, me not realizing it's only a few hours and not, y'know... 2 weeks to drive across Germany

It’s takes four hours from my house just to get to the state line of the next US state, let alone even the same section of the US— a lot of American mentality (good and bad) can be explained by the fact that we discuss driving distance from point A to point B in terms of hours, not miles. This is the way we combine time wasted in city area traffic areas with just shear distance of highway miles.

Did I say that out loud?

American here. I can drive 4 hours and still be in my state. I live in one of the bigger states, but I'm fairly sure that in any direction I drive I'd still be in the same state (or I'd be drowned. That's an option as well). And, if I get to a new state, the accent hasn't changed at all (although people wouldn't refer to those long big roads with no stop signs or lights that you drive really fast on the same). If I drive for 6 or 7 hours I can get to a different region, but it's not that different, and arguably my starting place is also part of that region...

You can drive south to north in BC or Alberta. Not sure about Saskatchewan. But I guess they don't build many roads just to get to other parts of the Canadian Shield.

One example is the Scottish brash-with-a-twinkle style of Billy Connolly or the more gentle approach of his compatriot Susan Calman. “Scottish people like witty jokes, there is a lot of respect for learning and that it likes quite hard-hitting jokes, ones of mockery,” Wilkie explained.

ADVERTISEMENT

While he noted there are similarities between Glaswegian humor and that found in other port cities, such as Liverpool, that Scottish style might not necessarily translate into a Welsh sense of humor or a broader English one.

Attending a comedy night, with many different acts, would show how difficult it is to categorize humour along geographical lines.humor

“You may laugh at different aspects of their schtick, but it would then be difficult to say, ‘well, there’s a British sense of humour’ because of the disparate kind of approaches and world views coming across.”

ADVERTISEMENT

Another element worth considering is how much the humor of other countries has influenced British comedy.

If you’ve sat and enjoyed the exaggerated characters in Fawlty Towers, the characters and scrapes they find themselves in reflect the sketches of the Commedia dell’arte, a form of theatre from 16th Century Italy.

Among other elements, it involved a series of recognizable characters from all aspects of society engaged in witty dialogue.

Surrealism, long considered a staple of British humor was, as Dr. Wilkie describes it, performed by: “Dadaists from countries that we may choose not to think of as particularly funny, such as Germany."

“They were doing surrealism to the nth degree, quite deliberately as a performative art, in the early part of the 20th Century. I think it’s something we like to appropriate in a way and imagine that we’re the custodians of it, but it’s not culturally specific at all.”

With Monty Python held up as a good example of leftfield humor from the UK, the Carry On… series of films suggests a national affection for a less sophisticated bawdiness loaded with double entendres.

While they did enjoy popularity outside the country (Carry On Nurse ran in Los Angeles for more than two-and-a-half years on its initial release), Dr. Humor Wilkie doesn’t see the humor contained within the 30 titles of the franchise as something that defines a nation.

“Carry On… kind of made fun of itself in its day, it was already slightly self-consciously old-fashioned and seaside postcard, but people could enjoy it because they could say, all bets are off really, we’re going to see something that’s sexist, end of the pier and a bit silly and that was fine,“ Dr. Wilkie explained.

It’s these different styles and presentations of comedy by British performers that. Dr. Wilkie believes make it impossible for an academic to point, with confidence, at various elements and state categorically that they alone make up the nation’s famed sense of humor.

There's a really nice frozen custard place about 45 min. away from my parents. They'd make the trip once a month or so, and bring the dog. He got a spoonful of everyone's custard. Once they went, and it was cold, rainy, and crowded. They decided to go to the Baskin Robbins across the street. They got their ice cream, and a paper bowl so they could share with the dog. He wouldn't eat it. I guess he decided that if he was going that far, it had to be the custard or nothing.

“No, I wouldn’t say there is a British sense of humor,” he concluded. “I think the best you can hope for is some big, beacon terms (eg. sarcasm, understatement, self-deprecation), that maybe, over a fair amount of time, might hold water."

“Comedy and humor have always been so open to counter-examples that you can never really pin anything down. It’s like trying to nail jelly to a wall.”

I laugh every time I get into the turn lane for my street, which looks like I'm sneaking in early for the turn lane for the light just past our street. Car after car starts following me to jump ahead, too. Then they are stuck behind me, where as if they drove passed me and got into the lane when they should have, would already be through the light. 🤣

Not likely. In Australia, they'll advertise e.g. table saws for $99.00, and you go there at opening time to get one and it turns out that maybe 4 were allocated to the three Aldi stores in your town, and somehow (mysteriously) they've all already been sold.

Then showed her I still had the framed one she gave me at the same age. She started crying and I was like "yeah, your Mom still loves you!" She replies "No, and I only say this because they are asleep - I'M STILL THE FAVORITE!" 🤣

I'm wondering if anyone, well anywhere, has experienced the likes of the Colin & Cuthbert scandal. I mean do our American friends know the feeling to pick a side on such a raw topic? Do our passionate European neighbours have enough passion to enter this arena? Have our Asian fellows ever felt on the brink of anarchy over such a sensitive topic?

When you're shooting a free kick and a wall isn't even attempted.

Peas and Pasta, dish them FROM the bag to the pan using the spoon you normally dish up with, tada, guaranteed to have the right amount.

I used to work for the company that set up the clubcard scheme when it was just a guy and his wife that set it up out of their back bedroom, and was later bought outright by Tesco... my advice don't use one, that amount of data on you isn't worth an extra 7p off a can of beans every month. They analyse and sell ALL your shopping habits to EVERYONE willing to pay for it, one day they'll have coca cola in selling them it, the next pepsi will be in buying the same data on you. Stopped buying codoms this month? Next month your offers will probably be about nappies or some other baby stuff. All sold to you as doing you a favour, but in reality exploiting the f**k out of you.

Scampi Fries. Great if you're eating them! Shocking if you're smelling someone who's eaten them!

I take it this is about Madeleine McCann and not the precocious French schoolgirl of the cartoon. 😜 I was so confused for a second.
