British Tumblr Users Roasting The Hell Out Of Anything That Has To Do With America
America and the UK are mostly similar but also different in many ways.
Britain versus America has become one of the internet’s favorite running jokes, and Tumblr has never been shy about joining in. The posts are blunt, silly, and often weirdly specific, which is exactly why they keep getting shared.
This roundup pulls together a stack of jokes, screenshots, and reactions that poke fun at American habits, language, and everyday life, mostly from British users but with a few other voices mixed in too. The result is a fast-moving pile-on that keeps getting funnier the longer it goes on.
Scroll through the roasts and see which one lands hardest.

Both the British and Americans don't approve of each other's "lifestyles," but it's always hilarious to see the two countries roasting each other on the internet. Sometimes, several other people from different nationalities even join in on the roasting and gang up on one of them.
These are all jokes, of course.
The internet never misses a chance to turn national pride into a punchline.
