    Was there a joke here that I missed?

  2. lolz says:

    british humour

    • Khaaaaaaaan says:

      not so graet akshully

    • Ceefax says:

      Uh, no, British people being portrayed in American humour. You can tell by the way everyone sounds like Dick Van Dyke. Hence British actors in American films having American accent coaches because they “Don’t sound British enough”

      • flingdecow says:

        Like thingy in friends that went out with Ross – she didn’t sound like that in British TV shows. Embarrassing.

      • Simon says:

        For some reason it made me think of the Bill Hick’s routine when he starts talking about the “hooligans” who had made the news in the UK and comparing their “naughty tomfoolery” to the gang violence in the USA.

      • Scott A says:

        Not uncommon actually – Films in other countries that portray Americans sometimes use language coaches to accentuate American accents.

        Heck, we do it between accent groups within the country sometimes. Most Texans don’t sound anything like what they do in the movies.

        In movies, stereotyped accents are useful character tools. They inform the viewer what themes that character may portray.

        • taronyu says:

          if you watch the anne of green gables, the americans have the most ridiculous accents ive ever heard. and seriously, we dnt yell and stumble towards when we see them, either

    • Trainwreck Chaser says:

      I´m one of the few Americans that loves british humor, and I can´t wait to get home and watch Izzy videos cause I just discovered him on the cake or death graph.

      YOU! Cake or Death?

      People think Dane coko is funny, try Demetri Martin, or the deceased Mitch Hedburg.

  3. n8 says:

    Now look here! We’ll have no more of your tomfoolery!

  4. Lallz says:

    I say, pip pip, get back old boys.

  5. Steve says:

    These people are clearly protesting a cut in funding to the Ministry of Funny Walks.

  6. newleaf31 says:

    Not positive, but I strongly suspect this picture was taken during the recent riots by football fans in Fulham (West London) after penalties levied against Chelsea Football Club ousted the team from the Champions’ League finals before the European Championship. I’m feeling pretty confident that the road in the picture is Fulham Broadway.

    • Phaelin says:

      Looks more like some kind of Bush protest to me. Just looking at the posters. :P

    • linox says:

      I think Phaelin is right, which is too bad because I was really enjoying the level of detail in your explanation; the other explanation is so pedestrian.

    • darren says:

      Do Chelsea usually carry placards saying bush out ,I’m feeling pretty confident that your losing your site.A bit more panarama and a little less match of the day me thincks

    • Gre says:

      I can’t actually tell if you’re being serious or not, but;
      if you are- you’re just wrong
      if you’re not – the ‘penalties’ metaphor has gone way over most people’s heads

    • Simon says:

      I’ve been to see Chelsea a few times and I almost never take my “Bush Out” banner with me.

      This looks like a demonstration at Trafalgar Square. Just before the war against Iraq there were over 2,000,000 protesters at Trafalgar Square (out of a population of 60 million) but the banners look newer than that.

      There was a major demonstration there in 2003, made famous by the image of the statue of George Bush being toppled in the same way as the statue of Saddam Hussein had been toppled in Iraq earlier. David Rovics wrote a song about that afternoon. The CNN report is here:

  7. Duke says:

    Beatles new movie causes riot

  8. Nathan says:

    So Little Bunny Foo Foo was actually a police officer?

  9. another brick in the wall says:

    apparently over much dark sarcasm in the classroom

  10. gillian says:

    I wouldn’t want to be a dustbin in Shaftesbury tonight.

    I think the caption is an homage to the late, great Bill Hicks.

  11. Redstar Chimera says:

    I was there that day. As usual the met overreacted to a little shouting. They then got even more outrageous (and on the “un-” side of lawful) which is why some people took to throwing burning wood at them.

  12. Trainwreck Chaser says:

    Billy clubs hurt, no fun to get hit by them, but like a giant wack a mole game for the police!

  13. flingdecow says:

    I assumed this was American humour. I like it.

  14. telboy007 says:

    …pop you on the noggin? Sigh, this caption definitely needs more “cor blimey”.

  15. Darwa says:

    This isn’t British humour at all.

    It’s american humour based before the time England allowed them to gain independence

  16. Peter says:

    Any of Bill Hicks’ Hooligans?

    • Cancel says:

      I just watched the Bill Hicks clip, is that what passes for humour stateside?
      I never realised that having a high violent crime rate was a badge of honour! and since yanks don’t understand irony or sarcasm I guess the dick means it

  17. miaowmiaow says:

    Hey we have serious crime in the uk. Teenagers stab eachother a lot in London and occasionally a gangster shoots another gangster or sometimes even a policeman or innocent citizen in bigger cities.
    We can only dream of huge gaps between the rich and the poor living in close proximity stimulating the highest violent crime and murder rate in the world tho. one day, one day.

    • Woody says:

      You poms already have that massive gap! A class structure that leads back long time.
      Australia is heading that way too unfawchoonitly…

  18. Éowyn says:

    I swear I posted a big comment yesterday about this photo, I’m just out of shot. Maybe it was the anti-Thatcher content, maybe I’m just unlucky.

  19. ben says:

    I’m British and I lol-ed harder at this picture than possibly any other i’ve seen on this website. Not at any of the comments though. They aren’t funny. Including this one. Serious face >:|

  20. LOLa says:

    Was this made by an american? Their views on modern day England are pretty backwards, but funny nonetheless!

  21. um7764 says:

    British Police=douchebags in silly hats

    • heny says:

      not nice, some r gd, plz in future b nice, thanku:)

    • english and proud says:

      um… how? go and say that to a real british cop. american ones are trigger happy morons who only had to fill in an application form and do 2 weeks training to abuse a ridiculous amount of power.

      also those hats arent really stupid and most cops dont wear em anyway

      go die in a hole.

  22. Caed says:

    Laughed at this as much if not more than at the american politics ones.

    Yes, am British.

  23. Fountain of Filth says:

    Definitely a Bill Hicks reference! :)
    He was a prophet ahead of his time.

  24. english and proud says:

    show that to a real london cop. i dare you.

    • Buffy says:

      I don’t want to, they’ll pop me on the bloody noggin and then run of to have tea with the Queen!
