Reacting to British Humour 🇬🇧

hi everyone it's me today we are reacting to British humor for those of you who don't know me my name is atena and I'm a Canadian but I have been living here in the UK for the last8 years now the Brits are funny and today we're going to put that to the test now I haven't preemptively gathered British videos and memes and that kind of stuff cuz I don't want to see it and then pretend that I haven't seen it and then like fake react to it that's kind of gross So today we're going to gather some vid

eos some funny British memes have a seat get a Kaa and hopefully we find some funnies so without further Ado let's go all right I feel like a good place to start is British memes on Instagram I am on Instagram adventures and apps if you want to check me out no worries if not but let's start here just found a house on right me with this gorgeous private compact Courtyard Garden honestly this doesn't really Shock Me God bless this place I love it here it is a small island though and as someone fro

m the second largest country by land mass you do have to just get used to the fact that homes are smaller Gardens are smaller you do not have the space that you can get in Canada and this as obscene as it is doesn't really shock me according to my mother the sunset in Glasgow was utterly brilliant last night here's her photographic evidence of the event I mean hey it's a nice garage garage rather if you don't offer a Tradesman a Cupa when he comes to your house you've got bottom tier at manner s

o 100% I absolutely agree I think in Canada it's like you ask if they want some water like water would be an appropriate thing um or maybe a coffee but not typically you definitely wouldn't offer them tea because that would be kind of weird but here if you have someone in your house working for however long or however short and you don't offer them a cup of tea you're garbage are you even from the UK If you don't know these iconic moments here's something that's kind of wild when I first moved t

o the UK back in 2015 I know I'm so old one of the things that really stood out to me was I did not understand pop culture I thought I did when I moved here you know cuz I like British movies and British TV and whatever but when I actually lived here and I was going to work I realized how I knew nothing I didn't know any of these situations I didn't know any pop cultural references that people would talk about like literally nothing and it's so funny now looking at this I I understand personally

bottom right is the funniest one out of all of these I still quote this man what's the most unforgettable line from any British TV show this is is a great question if you've got one leave a comment down below this is actually really hard I'm not sure there's so I mean in the comments like all of these are great hello it have you tried turning it off and on again I mean look how many likes that one's got it's a classic to something a bit more recent I love you it'll pass that show destroyed me I

don't know if I could pick just one line but leave a comment down below if you got one name a bigger lie than this this drives me insane I did a cooking video on YouTube memberships SL patreon and um there's at least two or three of these and every single one of them just they just rip off like what's the point here in what what year is it 20124 we can't figure this out science get it together serves 2 is also incredible it really doesn't guess what it serves me behind it it's the bonus C Strai

ght in there let's take a look at what it is I couldn't figure out why I couldn't hear this one and then I realized I didn't plug my headphones in who loves a bit a catchphrase let me rewind hold on it it's the bonus catch phrase she straight in there let's take a look at what it [Music] [Applause] is okay then [Applause] stepen it is not a chance for you to show your home videos right top middle let's take a [Music] look I haven't seen this one what is he looking [Music] [Applause] at you don't

want to know right let's take a little look oh my [Music] God I know it you do you really think it I do know it yeah okay lot of thousands of you at home now Millions if not hundreds get carried away Ste so let's just find if you would have known it David dicing with death that would [Applause] have you know what first up two two things come to mind number one catchphrase was one of the first few um like game show British TV things that I used to watch when I first moved to the UK I didn't have

a job I watched a lot of daytime television while I was systematically rejected for everything I applied for I remember watching catchphrase and like reruns the catchphrase and all that kind of stuff um hilarious number two British humor uses so many innuendos compared to what you see in North America like this is very silly and it's harmless and there's innuendos and you know that kind of stuff but I feel like you don't see that type of humor in North America humble opinion great show though a

nd it was very interesting learning about British culture through shows like this this one pointless um the chase all that stuff that was on daytime television I also really went down a rabbit whole with can't pay will take it away great introduction to British culture America Must Be Stopped no more teab bags instant tea 20 cups oh oh god oh you can get Jasmine you can get earl gray no this isn't right one is full of vegetables and one is full of meat storm storm storm we hate to put the Tempta

tion in front of you go oh she's obviously going to go obviously oh you little yes I didn't swear oh and there is natural selection oh she checking it out what he say is the weather has cool down British TV British daytime TV talk shows I feel like talk shows are much more interesting in the UK than in Canada I don't know why um did you ever see that video was it good morning or whatever um where the woman says she's married to a ghost that was on daytime TV incredible this is why I have trust i

ssues spread straight from the fridge I mean yeah I bet 1,000 PBS none of you ever reti okay here is another very interesting cultural point the Brits know how to mock ridicule saiz politicians better than any other Nation you do not see this kind of stuff in Canada and honestly I think we are worse off for it the ability to mock politicians is unbelievable in this country I mean it's sad what's what's actually happening in terms of politics but the humor is better than any other country I will

die on this hill let's do a couple of more while we're here cheese slice and milk way um get out 150b for a train ticket if the inspector doesn't turn up I'm looking for him the amount of times I've paid for a very expensive train ticket and nobody's looked and the barriers are open and it literally didn't matter it's better not to think about it to be honest I mean how on point UK State Pension soon rise to to 71 I am never going to retire rare astronomical event took place for the first time s

it the pajamas are on what more do you want asking a guess if they want another cup of tea to make them realize they should be making a move and they say yes I've said it before and I'll say it again one of of my favorite bits of Unwritten British culture is when Brits slap their knees and say right well we best be off then I love it I never know how to leave a social engagement or a party or a get together um and it's such a nice like I'm leaving now unless if the party is big enough I will Ir
