Yeah my parents forced being British on me when I was growing up

They’ve got camps for that these days, check out ‘Pray the UK Away’.

There's a brexit joke in there somewhere

The Bible says Adam and Eve, not Adam in Southend-on-Sea.

But they did live in Eden, we've got a bunch of those.

I just don’t like the British lifestyle being forced down my throat. They even have an anthem and such. Why can’t they just be quietly British. I don’t rub my non-Britishness on them.

[–] Aksamit@slrpnk.net 20 points 2 days ago (6 children)

They even have an anthem

You referring to Mr Brightside? Or do we have a new one yet?

My country, ‘tis of thee; sweet land of liberty, of thee I see.

Damn I miss the age of parody lyrics being the highest form of insult. We should go back to that. (Yes, fellow Americans, that song that literally all of us know is just a trolling parody of “god save the queen” and most people don’t know that which makes it even more funny.)

I have no issue with people being British either but I just don't agree with the lifestyle.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

Love the sinner, not the sin.

Being Br*tish is an abomination, why can't they just be normal?

[–] Biskii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 3 days ago

You can swear on the internet. On second thought, maybe that one is best left censored

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

My spouse's parent was British but fortunately didn't raise them that way.

[–] ewo@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

As a Brit all these comments are hilarious.

Live your life but please don't do that in public for my kids to see

When I worked at a movie theater, I had a customer refund their tickets because of the actors with British accents

Just wait until you find out about pantomime Dames

Goddamn Peppa Pig is indoctrinating our youth!

[–] el_abuelo@programming.dev 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I can understand someone not wanting their kids to see the Scottish. But the English and the Welsh? Those people live SOUTH of the wall.

[–] Owljfien@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

The one made of corn? Doesn't sound very structurally sound

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nobody show this guy Taskmaster Junior.

[–] Biskii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago

I'm so stoked to watch this. I loved Rose and Mike, and I'm so excited to have them back. They seem like perfect picks for their roles. Kids should make it extra goofy. I haven't been able to watch any TM for some months, so I'm going to have a lot to catch up on

Ey r rkid there ain’t no need for that you muppet

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 days ago

That's funny, I have the opposite opinion. Seems like it's something you should grow out of

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 14 points 3 days ago

Do they really have to expose us to their lifestyle like that? How will I explain this to my kids

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Perfect for gothic teens.
