I've recently been exploring cultural differences between British and Ukrainian senses of humor. Here's what I’ve found: 🇬🇧 British humor is often: • Dry and deadpan (delivered seriously, even when absurd) • Full of irony, understatement, and wordplay • Self-deprecating—poking fun at one's ow n class, emotions, or failures 🇺🇦 Ukrainian humor is often: • Cynical but warm, full of folk wisdom and quick-witted irony • Shaped by hardship, history, and resilience • Sharp in its observations of everyday life, politics, and cultural quirks In short: British humor hides emotion with wit. Ukrainian humor embraces suffering with a smirk. 🙂 Share your favorite British or Ukrainian jokes—I'd love to discover more! #english #ukrainian #humor

British is a very broad term. The humour of a white-collar Scrooge in London will be very different to the humour of a blue-collar Builder in Liverpool, for example.
