UK Facebook Is A Different Universe And These 22 Hilarious Examples Prove It

The British may live on a small island, but they have a rich inner life. This country that eats beans for breakfast has produced some of the greatest culture in the world, despite an inordinate amount of cloudy days. Even after the recent death of Queen Elizabeth II, the British are still Britishing, as these posts gathered from United Kingdom Facebook pages by the Twitter account @NoContextFBUK show. It's a different world over there, which those of us living outside Shakespeare's "sceptered isle" don't understand. As these posts show, the people who gave us Keep Calm and Carry On are definitely doing the second but perhaps not the first.

British humor is famous around the world for its unique perspective and irony. It makes sense, then, that UK Facebook is a place where this specific breed of funny flourishes, and the English, Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish do their best to make each other laugh.
