A selection of memes in English
Hey, what's up? Today's post will definitely be one of the easiest to read. We won't even burden you with unnecessary information and tell you about the subtleties of English humor, because we've already written about it here. And today - just a selection of memes straight from the English-language Internet.
Our main deposits of memes are VK and Tekegram. In America, it is mostly Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit, one of the most popular sites in English, where users post news or pictures by topic, and other users, with likes or dislikes, can boost the publication in the general feed.
My boss thanks me for being late. Me, who has lost track of time for hanging out on Reddit.
When someone tells me that I need to learn how to talk to people properly The inscription on the book is "How to Send in Polite Form."
My girlfriend tells the police not to arrest me I'm drunk wondering why she's mad at my Uber driver. (gf is short for girlfriend).
Jokes about Bing, a search engine with a smaller market share than Google, have recently become popular. Jokes about it are related to the fact that it does not interfere with natural search, and sometimes gives strange advice on queries).
User: I just found a dead body, what should I do? Google: call 911 Bing:
Google: easiest ways to commit suicide - National Suicide Prevention Hotline Bing: easiest ways to commit suicide - Most lethal ways to commit suicide You have to be desperate to come to me for help
- Where can I find memes better than on Facebook? - Reddit - Reddit is bullshit. One solid Spunchbob meme You talk crazy shit from a dangerous distance
It's really not. It's not just pictures of Spunchbob. There are pictures of other cartoon characters too.
Empty police cars are just a scarecrow for people.
I don't know how to do anything a 14-year-old kid on youtube with an eight-bit microphone explains exactly how to do it with ease
Fat Americans Rich Brits Too Many Pounds (By the way, the differences between the UK and the US are not only in currency and weights, but also in accent, and we even had a a separate article.).
Many of the jokes revolve around American social trends. To understand such memes, you need to know the social context and be aware of current themes in the West. And these are vegetarianism, feminism, racism, and more. By the way, yes, feminism and Spunchbob memes can be in the same picture.
Since when do words have gender? Almost any European language: okay, I've got to go. (IGHT is short for alright, IMMA is short for I am going to)
- You can't say "manipulative" without "man" - You also can't say "woman" without "man", what do you say to that? - Call us "lady," we don't mind - You can't say "lady" without "guy" (read the original screenshot, the joke is tied up in wordplay)
- If "violence" is the answer, what was the question? - How would "cello" be plural? (You need to read the original here, too.)
Teacher: Make up a sentence with the word "harassment" Student: I was in love with a girl and "her-ass meant" a lot to me (another fun example of wordplay)
When my wife sends me to the store for pickles, I take Vaseline at the same time. I don't want people to think I'm a vegan.
- Cows are friends, not food - Name one cow you're friends with - Your mom Reddit: I may have been too harsh on you (PETA - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, a nonprofit organization)
And according to the classic, the British laugh at the Americans, the Americans laugh at the British, and all of them together will not miss an opportunity to make jokes about other countries.
How Americans see America: How other 196 countries see America:
- Hey, boy, you want some tea? - Isn't that just leaf soup?
Me: Hey, you want some water? Englishman: No, thanks Me: What if I put a leaf in it? Englishman: I don't mind.
This is the most British picture I've ever seen Not a single lip in the whole picture
How people think Australia looks How Australia really looks (it's supposedly upside down because it's in the southern hemisphere)
Americans: we need guns to protect ourselves Australia: Melbourne man fought off carjacker with instant Nescafe. (carjecker - carjacker)

And jokes about Russia also pop up from time to time. And one of the unobvious occasions is car DVR video. Historically, videos from Russia are the most epic in the collection of jokes on the roads.
1980: "I bet there will be flying cars in the future" 2021: *Videos from Russian DVRs
Some memes are so bizarre that the absurdity itself makes them funny.
*coke spills from the glass too fast* Me:
She: I bet he's thinking about another girl He: It's too damn bright in here to sleep

Pictures with English text. Learn the language with humor
It has long been a trend on the Internet to share so-called "gags," funny pictures with or even without funny text. One day I wondered: why not find similar pictures with English text? After all, such a humorous form of presenting information will surely help me learn new words and expressions without too much strain, but even with pleasure and joy. Indeed, such pictures turned out to be a lot. So in today's article you will both laugh and learn a lot of new and interesting things in English.
Said something funny (made a joke). Someone else repeated the same thing, but only louder, and people laughed.
(This has happened to everyone at some point.)
This is how I look when I leave work, knowing I haven't done anything all day.

It's a microwave!
fascinating - charming, fascinating; extremely interesting
If the door doesn't open, don't come in.
(Logical, concise, serious, rigorous.)
And then I told her: "No, I have YOUR nose."
Don't be intimidated by the phrase I says. Some of the English speakers aren't quite literate, especially when it comes to children. Sometimes the forms of verbs and words are deliberately confused to show that it is a loose colloquial form of speech.
Note the expression "I got your nose" - I have your nose. For example, moms like to find their own facial features in children. One of them might say, "He's got (=has / has got/ got) my eyes. Or, for example, "She has your years" (the child's father).
"Student safety is my top priority." No end to hiring unstable and dangerous professors.
Anyone who has watched or read the Harry Potter sequel will know what this is all about. Although the meaning is quite clear.
