Go on I'll bite.... Where's the joke here?
I think the joke is it's a bunch of large gals in sequin dresses, and the sign suggests they epitomize British nightlife. Which may or may not be accurate, I'm unsure. But either way, it's a poorly formatted joke.
Did you not see the sign or are you determined to be offended?
British Meeting Point is the joke?
I expect downvotes but:
Taking this from Jeggs' perspective, they probably believe you're trying to pull the
tactic. It's used enough to be known but not super widely known.
And the joke is
which was obviously received poorly by this thread.
Taking it from Jeggs' perspective -- again -- other communities may receive this more favorably, regardless of perceived offensiveness. (Yes, offensive jokes aren't completely bad. I've laughed at racist jokes against my race. IMO this meme isn't particularly interesting tho.)
The latter then
Fuckin hell ๐
I havenโt been offended yet. Iโm just confused. Have a good day.
Hi, I'm also confused. Perhaps instead of accusing a confused commenter of being offended you could explain the punchline to us so that we can understand what it is you find amusing about an image of people underneath a sign that says "British Meeting Point."
Hold on I'll post it on a french c/ and see if they get it
I'm autistic as fuck and even I have better communication skills. Mate, if you aren't confident enough in the humor you're trying to share to simply explain the joke, then it's probably not humor worth sharing. Please explain the punchline so that I may understand what humor you're trying to share with us.
Did they get it?
My French is shit but here's what I got from the comments:
A pretty similar reaction then.
Well, the post was removed for fatphobia so I guess we understood it.
I suppose we're going to have to assume you did, yes. ๐
Also confused...
Hello, can you remove your post and apologize ? Thank.
is this what passes for british comedy?
never thought i'd say this but maybe you all should just stick to stealing.
They have the same exacting standards for comedy that they do food.
Maybe it's one of those things where you have to be there at the time.
The joke sucked. Just take your L and go.
Are you able to explain what you were trying to joke about?
I'm not sure anyone was offended. TIL overweight British women in sequins was some sort of meme. I think most people were genuinely confused.
