The comedian said that this summer’s heat waves were absolutely horrible to deal with. As for why Brits enjoy talking about the weather so much, it’s just a form of small talk.
"It's just what you say when you can't think of anything else to talk to a stranger about. But the weather this week was next-level. I'm a lifelong Brit and I've never heard people talk about the weather so much! Seriously, this heatwave was something else."
Comedy expert Ariane explained to Bored Panda that humor plays a huge role in the culture of the UK. “I think it is inherently witty and quirky but coupled with a huge dose of irony and self-consciousness,” she pointed out that Brits enjoy self-deprecating humor quite a bit.
“It's sarcastic, petty, ridiculous, embarrassed, self-conscious, and underpinned with the knowledge and awareness of how silly Brits are,” she expanded on what British humor is like.
“When people think of us, they think of the Royal Family, iconic images like London buses and phone boxes, afternoon tea, period dramas, and posh people—like Hugh Grant in Richard Curtis films!” she shared her thoughts with us about how the people of the world tend to see the UK.
“They see us as charming and antiquated and think we're adorable. Spoiler: we're not really like this! Which they'll find out if they ever visit Britain, but I guess most people never do, so we remain cute and posh in their imaginations.”
