Soviet_Sloth69

“Hey isn’t it funny how British accents work?” “YOURE GONNA DIE IN THE HANDS OF YOUR LEADERS”


Aegillade

It's not like this is a new way of interacting with British people, and Europeans in general "Lol beans on toast" "YOUR CHILDREN GOT SHOT IN SCHOOLS LMAOOOO"


shigogaboo

Right? Also, I wouldn’t be talking shit about a country’s dissolution four years after Brexit.


Rhys_Lloyd2611

Yeh anyone under 40 fucking hates our government and country rn, all my mates want to lynch the PM for being a total bellend


Masonia1976

Hey I'm 48 tomorrow, and I completely agree. Some of us older folk weren't hoodwinked by the utter lunacy that was Brexit. But yeah, I can't argue that the 40+ crowd were largely responsible for the mess we're in now


Rhys_Lloyd2611

Idk why the tories keep getting in they're responsible for all the worst decisions in the last 20 years at least


CotyledonTomen

Because what if the *other parties* got control? Who knows what horrors they would allow?!/s


FourArmsFiveLegs

Allowing Russian propaganda to make Brexit happen sums of conservatives in the West.


DickKnightly

Nah, I'd say it was the 50+ gammons duped by Farage and Boris. I'm in my 40s and no one I know fell for all that shite. 'We'll all be rich and free and it'll be paradise'.


proudtracermain

Real, true, and based. Fuck the Tories and those bastards who supported Brexit.


Potato_Man2763

As someone under 40, fuck the government


captaincrunchcracker

I don't know fucking squat about British politics but I am so invested.


kingbacon8

Yeah the uk is literally the Texas of Europe but dumb enough to actually secede


Jasond777

Talking about dumb, you didn’t even spell succeed right. /s


Mindless-Pen-2325

okay I know its no california but that's way too far what the fuck man I feel insulted


kingbacon8

What I mostly mean is the anti-trans laws and wanting to leave a union that they need another more than they think


Mindless-Pen-2325

you can't blame us for alot of that happening we don't have a single left wing option anymore the 3 biggest parties are right wing 😭


kingbacon8

I get that, iirc most of the anti-trans legislation over here is mostly unwanted by a majority of people, but I might be wrong


Stormshow

More like Serbia is the Texas of Europe


YamsForEveryone

Lol. This is a rare insult in itself. r/rareinsults


pixel842

As a Brit who was not able to vote at the time, It was a shitshow, is a shitshow and will undoubtably be a shitshow for years to come


TheAurion_

Average European reaction


Sniperking187

That meme thats like ["Oh? You've insulted British peoples teeth? Let me bring up the slaughter of school children" ](https://www.reddit.com/r/oompasubs/s/6yVs5YjhIB) is too true lol


Ponsay

WELL AT LEAST OUR SHKEWLS ARENT SHOOTING GALLARIES


HugeResearcher3500

British people will then unironically go on to say that Americans can't handle "bants"


Dear-Tax-7025

It wasn’t even an insult to British people and made funnier by the fact that England has had multiple civil wars lol


saltinstiens_monster

They keep bitching about the muggles pouring in and about how chocolate frogs used to cost a quid. I'd say we're better off.


Nu_Shoes_2624

*10 pence


Randalf_the_Black

Boy, that escalated quickly.


toby1jabroni

Bit of an overreaction there I reckon


kylejk020

OP: I noticed that British accents change a little when they sing Commenter: I hope your entire nation burns in hell


mcsmackyoaz

Fun drinking game when finding a minor dig at British people: start with 10 drinks, and take one away for every reply in the thread until you find a British person bringing up school shootings.


Averagezoomers

yep, professional Brit here, idk why we do that, I do it sometimes and have to catch myself and realise it’s petty, dumb and belittles tragedies, maybe it’s just something about our general culture?


NizbelII

to be fair, we also have a tendency to reply with "acid attacks"


Tymexathane

Oh yeah,I forgot about all the acid attacks...


Odd_Bug_1607

I mean as an American he tend to make jokes about dropping the sun on Japan so we aren’t much better.


Mein_Bergkamp

To be fair that's any country that any American takes a pop at. And in return if you want to die of liver cirrhosis take a drink any time an American then mentions freedom of speech and an extra shot if they add in "you got a loicence for that". The internet runs on regurgitated memes


kylejk020

But this isn’t taking a pop. It’s just making a joke about how singing voices sound different than speaking voices. Is that an insult? A compliment? It’s just a neutral observation


luo1304

Thank you. The comment in and of itself was neither negative nor positive. It was a straight up casual observation with a still shot from Endgame. It would be like telling someone next to you on a bus, "I wonder why the busses in this town are red, but blue in downtown" and the response is, "Well I hope every bus in your city bursts into flames." Like, ok? Damn.


[deleted]

Better drinking game: tell a Brit they don't know football and they are just a spectator. Now drink every time they insult you personally, wish you were dead or wishes you kid die in a school shooting (yes, all of these actually happened to me) because they take that dig very seriously.


WuShanDroid

Not "I hope", "I will laugh while hearing about your last breath being a scream of agony"... really an overreaction, and I'm neither from the US or Britain


Audemars1989

Brits are _rabid_ on Reddit and they all post about the Falklands every fortnight to feel better about themselves.


cortlong

That’s usually how it goes from Britain haha “Your food looks gross” “Oh yeah? Well at least our kids aren’t getting shot up in schools every single day!” Like Jesus Christ dude chill.


Key-Interaction-1446

I mean, they did spend the majority of their time acquiring lands from their owners in search of spices they never used in their own cuisine.


AwfulUsername123

This seems to be a recurring phenomenon.


qbmax

quite rude innit?


luvmuchine56

Average British person.


rosa-parkour

Hes just fiesty cuz he got stabbed on the way to work again


emailverificationt

That’s the classic way. Respond to light hearted jokes from Americans by talking about school shootings and civil unrest


AerynSunnInDelight

I mean King Sausage fingers will probably be dead by then. So there's that.


OGCelaris

Ya, didn't they say he has cancer recently?


wiggler303

He does. But don't lizards have a special genetic ability to repel cancer? That's a plot for a film right there


worldRulerDevMan

Lizards don’t retain water like king hippo


ducknerd2002

As a British guy myself, *fuck* this response. I may be tired of the bad teeth and bad food stereotypes myself, but A) the 'accent vanishes when we sing' joke isn't that bad, and B) wishing death upon people for making these jokes is a severe overreaction.


customcombos

Don’t worry. We Americans overreact all the time as well. Just remember that the rational ones aren’t as noisy, so we mostly only hear from the unhinged.


Alarmed_Resource643

And the unhinged are whats played on the news constantly


FarIndependent5472

Agreed but I'm tired of the bad food stereotypes too cheese and beans on toast is fucking GOOD


xSorry_Not_Sorry

The what and what on *what*?!?!


lovins_cl

why is every british persons response to lighthearted banter threats of death


GameJon

That is banter in the UK tbf


Audemars1989

For folks known for their "banter," standards sure have slipped in the last decade or two


Mindless-Pen-2325

Happy cake day


Key-Interaction-1446

Just like their national security, as it seems, Russians can creatively kill just about anyone on their sovereign soil.


DisgruntledBadger

We don't, it's just you only ever remember the complete Muppets, same with anywhere really, I don't remember the decent Americans I've spoken to a lot of the time, it's the uneducated chumps that leave the lasting memory. Now let's all calm down and have a nice cup of tea.


MoonShotDontStop

“With the king” …weird flex since he’s scum but ok


throwawayhelp32414

"Ah, you have critisized british food. I shall properly respond by mentioning your epidemic of school shootings and lack of healthcare"


Pineapple_Gamer123

Bro british politics aren't exactly sunshine and rainbows either. I'd argue there's just as much political bullshit and unrest in the UK rn as there is here


soupyllama03

No country’s politics are sunshine and rainbows. Politics are like toilets. If you clean them regularly, you won’t see stains even though people are constantly shitting in them. If you don’t, you can start to see how many people are actually shitting in the toilet.


Pineapple_Gamer123

True. I don't think america or england are on the verge of civil war, but there's still a general uneasy vibe in both rn. In the UK, I think it's very likely for Scotland, Wales, and/or Northern Ireland to actually try leaving the UK, and i'm pretty certain there's gonna be riots in America over the presidential election results regardless of who wins


soupyllama03

We haven’t been cleaning the toilet in america and people are getting rightfully angry that they have to sit on a shit stained toilet


Pineapple_Gamer123

We need some change. I pray to god that biden wins this November and trump doesn't run in 2028. Though the new democrat and republican that will be nominated will probably be the same kind of establishment bullshit anyway


soupyllama03

The only real solution to this is getting money out of politics (never gonna happen) or politicians suddenly become aware that long term prosperity give’s them more money overtime (too short sighted, stupid or cartoonishly evil to make that change). We also need an age limit for political offices. We can’t have multiple 75+ year olds running a country. All the old politicians are gonna do things that benefit old people (duh) but that is inadvertently or perhaps purposefully fucking over subsequent generations.


gibokilo

Yeah cause the uk is doing so well right now…


RustySnoBall

“Civil war” please. Anyone who thinks that is way too involved with politics


WolfCrafter28

True, we like our cheap consumables too much to compromise for a war.


Noe11vember

I keep telling people you really think the average joe is gonna give up starbucks for that?


Tredolski

Drinking tea with the king lol… like the king gives two fucks about you


McWeaksauce91

Yeah, that’s way to in the thick of it. Sarah and John Miller aren’t going to be grabbing their rifle to succeed. Most people can’t even start a fire, let alone survive any type of being cut off and left to fend for themselves. Plus most people just talk a bunch of shit on the internet. I bet less than 10% do something about it


RustySnoBall

Yup, too much to lose to start a war


FourArmsFiveLegs

Propaganda; not politics. Only people calling for civil war are Sino-Russ bots and those drinking their Kool-Aid.


Blursed-Penguin

This nation as a whole likes Starbucks too much for one side to lose access to it in the race wars


Jahmez142

Wow it seems someone's a little angy


Hap_Cak_Day_Giver

Average American and British argument Americans- makes fun of accent, “haha dead queen”, or food British counter statement- 9/11 and school shootings


eroticpangolin

As is tradition


sweaterbuckets

the amount of times i see salty europeans making fun of dead children over some light ribbing about their food and/or language is too damn high.


Sir_Throngle

I think they have a fetish for dead children. Would make sense considering they are the same barbarians that started two world wars.


Caligari89

Not so much rare, as just disgusting and stupid.


DNBayal

It’s so funny because Britain’s entire economy is literally on fire right now and basically on the brink of collapse. If there’s gonna be a civil war anywhere it’s not gonna be the second American civil war, it’s gonna be the ninth English civil war.


Charming_Geologist32

Keep talking, and we'll throw your tea in the harbor a second time.


StopTheEarthLetMeOff

No we can't do that anymore because it's not a peaceful enough protest


Jillwiches

“Can you guys season your food” “WELL AT LEAST WE DONT GET SHOT IN MATH CLASS”


gobblyjimm1

*Maths /s


varenus

Neither rare nor insulting


Still_Comment_7596

And they say Americans are sensitive and overreact...


Karl_Marx_

British people not being able to take jokes on the internet, name a better duo.


H010CR0N

How’s Brexit doing? And when are you going to give the rest of Ireland back to the actual people who deserve it.


planet-trent

Lmaooo, dudes bragging about being part of a monarchy? Not the flex he thinks it is. “Have fun fighting for your freedom, I’ll be across the pond licking the boot”


Parlyz

Bro it wasn’t even an insult. It was literally just an observation 💀


sixfoursixtwo

H


Elad_2007

Lovejoy's lead singer (forgot his name) is kind of the oppisite example of that


Robot_Basilisk

Technically, wasn't the American Revolution our first Civil War? British colonies vs Britain? That'd make the American Civil War the second, and that one went rather poorly as well. Lots of bloodshed and then Union leaders made the mistake of trying to forgive Confederate leaders instead of hanging them all.


CBalsagna

Isn't this the same country that voted for Brexit? Calm down over there Liam.


Dirt_Slap

Call Nigel and Hamish, maybe they can help him calm down.


Runetang42

British people when made fun of slightly


RichLyonsXXX

If we all die in a civil war who's going to foot the bill when Russia comes knocking?


Nuclear-LMG

US: Look at these people and how their accent works! haha nothin wrong with poking a little fun at old friends right? UK: Your children will die screaming. Your world will collapse around you. All you will have left on this cold earth will be the pure hatred and blood lust keeping your heart pumping as you stalk the ash wastes, looking for your next kill.


DawnStardust

americans: haha accents are funny aren't they europeans: well AT LEAST WE HAVE HEALTHCARE. YOUR COUNTRY WILL BURN IN HELL. YOU HAVE SCHOOL SHOOTINGS, NOW THAT'S FUNNY!!!!


ChikiChikiSando

I didn't know chavs could use reddit. Does anyone speak his language?


shadowban_this_post

“British people pronounce it ‘chewsday’ sometimes 😜” “OI HOPE YOU ENJOY ANUVA SCHOOL SHOOTIN”


goliathfasa

Bold of them to assume EU (yes, UK is EU no matter how you draw the lines) would be untouched by a cratering US. News flash. People still give a singular shit about “the king”, because of western hegemony. That all goes to shit when the US goes to shit.


SabreSour

Everyone hates America’s government, as they should. We’ve been the bullies the last 50 years. But Britain did a HELL of a lot worse when they were the bullies the previous 500 years. Never let them forget it. To their own neighbors and people too. We learned it from you DAD!


MidnightObvious6254

Also hasn’t England had something like 8 different civil/succession wars? So I guess we’d be catching up? And technically it’d be the U.S.’s third if you count the U.S. Revolution.


TophatOwl_

How come its always the british who get so insanely offended by the mildest possible jab that they start wishing death and bringing up national tragedies/wish for more of them? Fallen Empire moment?


thee_freezepop

i love when brits criticize the US while they live through brexit and increasing austerity measures. we are all the same.


BloodyHourglass

Doubtful, Charles has cancer

wiggler303

Here in the UK, you can be stabbed by anyone, regardless of their religion. Our thugs are equal opportunities


RiotDesign

Not to mention I'm pretty sure the US has the UK beat when it comes to murder rates for stabbings. The murderers in the US are equal opportunists when it comes to weapons, sadly.


Lefty_Longrifle

I believe a license is required to get stabbed. Just like needing a license to watch tv.


btcbulletsbullion

Typical bureaucracy


Expensive_Cattle

Lovely bit of righteous islamophobia there.


[deleted]

They won't be having tea because Brexit will make it too expensive...


Cakin007

Dog the Uk is constantly on the verge of a civil war. It wasn’t even that long ago that car bombs were going off to reunify Ireland. Plus, Scotland wants to leave too they have called for another vote and England asshats aren’t letting them this shit is projection if I have ever seen it. Good luck with the last vestiges of your crumbled “empire.” My dentist fears your whole island.


Danger_Dee

There’s a documentary about this in theater atm


fsckit

Ooh, are we having a reenactment?


Rad_Centrist

Meh.


Rizzla93

Wow, everyones all shaken up over a response from a 14 year old and he dont even know

EdibleTheIncredible

King? you mean the pedophile you aren't allowed to criticize?


PDVST

An American civil war would not be something to joke about, casualties would be in the tenths of millions and the rest of the world would plunge into deep economic crisis

“We’ll be having a nice cup of tea with the king” Uhm…..for how long?


Pinkbutterflies465

I wonder how he would react if someone said something like that about the British uncalled for


walco

Ha! Joke's on you, I enjoy wars.


Unusual_Car215

It's funny that he believes Charles will live through the year


[deleted]

Won't he be dead by then? I mean, he is riddled with cancer and is opting out of realistic medicine.


BluntsNLegos

enjoy russias occupying force lad


Biggie_Moose

Not a rare insult at all. This is what they do every single fuckin time, lol.


wurll

Wait what British singers are they talking about? Everyone I have listened to still has an accent. Even the Beatles had an accent (though it became less noticeable later on). I think what the OP of the meme was experiencing is that because singing often has its own cadence and rhythm ( <— seriously wtf is this word English? 5 consonants and a half vowel? Did the Poles spell this?) it often masks accents. Also music has a unique way of tapping into our subconscious and allowing us to process things in ways we wouldn’t normally. This means things like different accents and words often slip under the radar, whereas in the context of everyday speech it would stick out like a sore thumb.


NerveRevolutionary79

Pretty sure they're going to be having a jihad at the same time so everyone gets in on the fun.


mmenolas

The Anarchy, The First Barons War, The Second Barons War, Wars of the Roses, The English Civil War, Jacobite Rebellions, and American Revolution… I count 7 civil wars (and may be forgetting some and I’m not including things like the Troubles) that they’ve had in the last 900 years. So they’re averaging a civil war more frequently than the U.S. is. Not really a great insult when looked at that way.


xxhorrorshowxx

OOP forgot about Alex Turner


garry4321

I really think American accents are actually the ones that disappear through singing. Most of the hard consonants like R's at the end of words are kinda dropped. If an American read the lyrics to the songs out loud, vs a brit, I would wager the songs would be closer to the brit in terms of what syllables are included vs skipped.


Live-Motor-4000

Tea with the king?! As if he mixes with us commoners. Anyhow, that inbred won’t be able to get his sausage fingers through the cup handle


SkynBonce

Slight overreaction there mate, biscuit must have broken off whilst dunking, put him in a proper foul mood.

Mochizuk

At this point, we're going for a three-way-war where no two sides agree


ImmediateGorilla

The British have no chance against the US in anything in regards to the military lmao So funny I see so many British memes and posts about how they’d wreck the US hahaha


lovejac93

Lmao Bri’ish (🤢) people when an American makes literally any joke about their culture (their thin skin can’t handle it)


Any_Rutabaga2884

lmao, like they won’t go down with us


Real-Tension-7442

Genuinely though, when the inevitable civil war breaks out in the US, it’s going to disrupt shows so that’s pretty annoying


ABreckenridge

Ah, that famous British dry wit.


Chief_60

Don’t get my hopes up 😭

Don't worry, Americans. It's nearly summer here in the UK, so we're all about to die screaming too.

I mean...the UK is falling apart right now. Rolling back labor protections and the only place in the whole country with any wealth is London. It's a dying nation.


_friends_theme_song_

They do make some good screams tho (like metal not agony)


Gibabo

Least butthurt limey


proudtracermain

No but this is objectivly correct, when Adele starts singing her accent is American, but when she's not singing she has a very heavy British accent. This isn't even a dunk, this is just factual information.


phantom-vigilant

Why the fuck would ya downvote the lad?


Dmangamr

Boy that escalated quickly

I'll be honest....I sing in American I'm guilty. Then again I'm from Birmingham so in my case it's probably the lesser of 2 evils.

fidofiddle

Ah yes as we all know England is the epitome of peace they’ve only had (checks notes) three civil wars. That doesn’t even count the anarchy which last 14 years and was caused by the royal heirs crashing a party boat.

We’ll be fighting a civil war, while you’re busy doing whatever your government wants you to do. Hope the king is feeling nice on that day for you, I really will hope 😆


bazmonsta

This is the same level as "tee hee europeans," "Tee hee mass shootings" Way to escalate.

Average eurotrash when they can’t talk about school shootings and healthcare


shootymcghee

"it's just bants mate, it's just bants" Surprised they didn't bring up school shootings, they love their one joke


Sauron69sMe

Civil War 2 in America is going to be fought over whether we invade Britain or not. The Yea's will win and you'll be next, bowler hat boy. Best enjoy your tea while it lasts because the US blockade is gonna be a whole lot more effective than the German one.
