Comedy gold from across the pond

Bit odd innit?

I'm currently on the Americans vs. Europeans side of TikTok, and it is fascinating. Every time a European (usually a British person ) tries to dunk on Americans for being stupid, the most well-spoken American on God's green earth puts them in their place. I'm not sitting around defending America all day, every day, but I find it satisfying when Americans dunk on the British. It makes me feel like my team is winning! In all honesty, I think that British culture and American culture are equally c…

Have some tweets with yer tea

Bit odd innit?

Bloody brilliant content

It's been a wild couple of months in the UK, to say the least. British people got a new Prime Minister, they lost a queen, they got a new king, they did a bunch of mourning, and finally, the brand spanking new 47-year-old Prime Minister resigned in disgrace, all in a period of under 50 days. There's only one way that this situation could get even crazier…but for the sake of fans of the royal family, I will refrain from speaking it out loud. The resignation of Liz Truss did not come as a huge sh…

Good tidings, internet friends. We've just got finished with another day on the world wide web, and let us tell you, things haven't gotten any better. While some people on Twitter are freaking out about that Adam Levine cheating drama, others are still talking about the arguably timely demise of Queen Elizabeth II. Meanwhile, we're over here like “Can we please get some viral tweets over here that aren't something like ‘when I love, I love HARD?’". Sadly it's true, the internet can be a complet…

Queen Elizabeth II lived a long life. There's no denying that a ninety-six-year existence is impressive. A lot can be accomplished and experienced in that amount of time: marriage , parenthood, wars, imperialism, etc. But a ninety-six-year life also leads to a different sort of prolificness - the ability to be trending on Twitter for a week straight. Mentions of the deceased matriarch have been going strong since the news of her demise, and while not all of the memes, jokes, and tweets are tast…

God save the Queen

"She sounded so excited that it wasn't Dolly…"

If you're online right now, you know that Queen Elizabeth II has died at age 96. There were several things that signaled her death would be announced before the news officially came in. The BBC website changed to black, BBC on-air presenters changed into black attire, and BBC One cancelled regular programming until 6pm. Many believed these were the signs that she has already died, and they were correct. One of the telltale signs that the Queen's condition was quickly deteriorating is that the R…

She's lived long enough to earn some crown jewel memes.

I must start this off by saying that I am not a person of the British persuasion. While many Gen-Z Americans get their knowledge of British culture from Harry Potter or Doctor Who, I got mine from a far more embarrassing source: Season 2 of RuPaul's Drag Race UK. Before then, I had no idea what Greggs, Pantomime, or Eastenders was, but now I've finally seen the light. The spin-off of the American drag competition show stars British contestants, two British judges and airs on the BBC, but it sti…

British people get a lot of slack from Americans online. They get roasted for their teeth, food , and accents in ways that nearly always come off as hacky. Like we get it, Brits put peas and beans on foods that are largely incomprehensible to the Yankee mind and stomach, but can we let it rest? British culture through the American lens can lean somewhat limited. Personally, my primary outlets for learning about British culture have been heavily influenced by memes and internet pop culture: Harr…

They seemed to buy it too…
