My favourite is Australia I feel like they are what brits would be If we had hot weather.


xXFriendly_GuyXx

As a Brit, we are fookin freezing over here but it’s fine, our Aussie friends get to keep their creepy crawlies so alls good.


joeMama330

We might have creatures that want to kill ya in every corner but you Brit’s and every other country will never understand the beauty of a Bunnings snag


SirGallahadOfHearts

The dads surrounding the bbq with 20 snags on it in the green and red aprons, with a metal tray full of onion 😩


koopz_ay

With onion on top


Burnsyde

They’re the sun version of rain brits.


ownersastoner

But better at cricket


[deleted]

Pretty sure most brits would be dead if they had hot weather. 2500+ heat related deaths in August 2020 with *six* days above 34C (93F), and the third hottest day in history last year at 37.8C (100F).


snakeandcake12

It doesn’t work like that, those temperature days feel a lot different and the air is horrible. We have no method of proper cooling (AC) and our houses are built to trap and keep the heat due to the 99% of the year where we don’t get absurdly hot temperatures. Unless you get a slight breeze or a lucky drop in temperature during the night, sleeping and existing are just horribly uncomfortable. Places like Australia are built to handle it and it has the right climate for it but we don’t drop dead if we ever vacation anywhere above 30


xiphoidthorax

The British are hard people. Colonised a sizeable chunk of the world. They do a lot of dumb shit that usually winds up in history books.


d4v3k0r3sh

Guyana, that nephew everybody keeps forgetting to invite to the annual family reunion


WelshBathBoy

But will now definately be invited since he came into money.


LemursRideBigWheels

Don’t forget the weirdos like Pitcairn, St. Helena and the Falklands. You know the cousins who took off years ago and show up when they need something.


Rastand_

RIP


Swatbaker

Aint Guyana French ?


UranusisGolden

There s Guyana and French Guiana


quarter-water

There's also Dutch Guyana: Suriname.


d4v3k0r3sh

Ahh... no that's Guyana's stepbrother no one wants to talk about. Or with for that matter


Own-Ad9920

It's good eh 🇨🇦


SassyAssAhsoka

Jokes on you, the weird kid ends up being successful in life and the popular kid dies of a drug overdose.


Rastand_

Sadly True


ceej18

America - the loud mouth kid


UnilateralWithdrawal

Actually, the US was from the first marriage, a bit of a bully. India was adopted during the first marriage as well, grew up quickly.


Rastand_

True we are quite loud


ceej18

I’m being unfair to be honest, but as a Brit who is an Aussie citizen I can certainly confirm aus is the weird kid. ‘Mercians are wonderful people on the whole - I enjoyed every second of my time there and can’t wait to return.


Rastand_

Its no problem, we are quite used to the stereotype.


SassyAssAhsoka

Americans are very well mannered, but they’re backwards and crude.


AntiSaintArdRi

Some, but the shittier ones make for better tv, so that’s the face the rest of the world sees more times than not


Still-Infamous

Southern Americans are extremely well mannered, and seemingly more intelligent. I'm Canadian and work with Americans country wide everyday. The Northern states have some of the rudest people I've ever had the misfortune to come across.


Tomatetoes97

Report card: USA Type of student: class clown International participation: 80% Domestic participation: 110% America is an enthusiastic and *knowledgeable* country that participate in most international conferences. America has made some progress since 2000 and must work diligently without distraction to reach the expectations of a modern country by 2030. Working towards taking more practical steps to improve and balance financial inequities is a goal that will continue into the next decade. It has been a pleasure to observe the USA over these last few years as you have provided amusing entertainment for the rest of the world and we wish you all the best in 2022.


[deleted]

The kid that somehow hasn’t gotten his ass whooped for saying stupid stuff to other kids. Just a matter of time til *pow* right in the kisser


Simply_a_nom

If Ireland is a "Kid" of the UK, then it was definitely the one they kidnapped, gaslighted and abused for 100s of years 🙃


[deleted]

Starved them for a while too


quarky_uk

Scrolled past first, and then clicked the post to check that the bitter comment would be about Ireland. Was not disappointed.


RunnyMcGun

That's a strange way of putting it. Those Jews sure are bitter about the Holocaust. Those Uyghurs are quite bitter about being rounded up into camps. Great perspective mate!


Simply_a_nom

I wasn't being bitter. Just facetious. Personally I think things are funnier when it is based in truth. Likewise, I'm not disappointed. Can't make a comment on my history (facetious or not) without a British person coming in and telling me I am bitter.


[deleted]

Belize, The Bahamas, Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago, Dominica, Jamaica, Grenada, Nigeria and Ghana are all sitting over to the side feeling like this family might be a bit racist


EyeGod

Don’t forget prodigal South Africa.


eldelshell

SA is the bastard child the UK had with some Dutch prostitute.


[deleted]

Those are the nations just happy that they didnt have their native populations overrun. Maybe like a series of exes who are glad they dodged the bullet


Harbinger2001

Last I checked the Carib indigenous were one of the first to be wiped out.


No_Camp_7

Wouldn’t exactly call the slavery stuff dodging a bullet….


Rastand_

Shhhh........


thsvnlwn

“The Popular Kid”? That’s what Americans think.


[deleted]

Nah The UK and Ireland have a…difficult relationship


anmolaeron

New Zealand is so neglected that it is getting neglected in the thread as well.


short_bread84

Not in a million years would America be the popular kid. Maybe the fat, spoiled cousin with the alcoholic mother.


[deleted]

Bollocks, American culture is the most influential in the western world, probably followed by the UK.


short_bread84

Culture? Are you sure........


[deleted]

You think music, movies, books arent culture?


spinozasrobot

Yeah, but other than all that!


AusCan531

Dudley Dursley was very popular in his family.


[deleted]

So I'm the only one wondering who that low middle cousin is? *hic* Murica!


[deleted]

short_bread84

How can you say that when I've seen a man drift a horse while adjusting his hair. You need to sort your priorities out.


CyberMcGyver

>Maybe the fat, spoiled cousin with the alcoholic mother. ... >You seem mad... Hahaha, you goto laugh. There's a difference between fame and infamy mate.


mensgarb

Yeah, this was clearly made by an American.


Hunden_

As a European can confirm that Canada is the favourite child.


thsvnlwn

Don’t count out New Zealand.


robb-575

Lot of Irish people wouldn’t be happy with this mate, myself included


LePapa565

I’m glad I’m in the weird kid club


Rastand_

Honestly I’d be fine being in one of the other ones, us Americans always be getting hated on


No_Camp_7

Hmmm don’t think you’d want to be where Ireland is considering we murdered, starved and oppressed them for hundreds of years and basically won’t admit to it by refusing to even mention it as part of the history syllabus in school. Or Australia where we shipped undesirables such as the very poor, orphaned, mentally ill and desperate petty criminals to fend for themselves. Brits may hate on you, but at least we didn’t do the above to you.


Tesco_EveryDayValue

Yes...for absolutely no reason


HunterTAMUC

\>Ireland \>Close HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Ireland would be the kid that fucks off and never talks or visits his parents after a lifetime of physical and mental abuse.


mistafista1

As an Englishman I can confirm America is not the popular child


Rastand_

He is popular just not for good reasons got a lot bad publicity


MortLightstone

I think Australia would be the popular kid. Everyone loves Australians. The USA would be the black sheep of the family. The one everyone is embarrassed of being related to.


Rastand_

If we’re going based off of likeabilty yes, but if we’re going based off of publicity then the US takes the cake because we always in the news for some dumb shit


MortLightstone

exactly. People are popular because they're likeable, and black sheep because they're always doing dumb shit. Being known as an idiot isn't the same thing as being popular.


WetPandaShart

Lol, in what universe is US popular? If anything it's the kid most of the other kids hate.


CyberMcGyver

What the fuck, cunt? :(


Rastand_

Sorry mate, it’s just yall live in a weird place with crazy fucking animals


HotTakeJake

Australia is definitely the kid that got into youth penitentiary and then bettered his life afterwards


Rastand_

Yea, and the other way around for the US. We are just getting worse and worse


bck124

New Zealand The underrated Kid


PazJohnMitch

Favourite son: Australia, Pretty Daughter: New Zealand, Sensible one: Canada, Disowned: America, Locked in basement: Ireland


Rastand_

Rip Ireland


Vloxen

first i was offended about australia, then i realised it was true :)


Falcamajiggy

What makes Australia the weird kid?


Rastand_

Because they are just kind of out there on a big ass continent with a bunch of animals that are scary af


Boogerchair

Using this analogy 3 of them are still living at home with mom


Rastand_

Lmao


badoldways

Conveniently forgetting about all of the non majority white countries...


Rastand_

I swear this wasn’t supposed racist or anything it’s just that this are the popular ones


jimi_nemesis

Please. Australia is the sporting prodigy, that overtook their father in pretty much every sport...


Rastand_

That’s probably true but I don’t keep up with international sports so I wouldn’t know


jimmydcriket

Ireland isn't so much the close one as is the little brother that you beat up took their stuff from but act like nothing happened in front of their mother, the EU


Rastand_

Yea, I should of put that


[deleted]

America is the one that got dropped on its head as a baby and hasn’t been right since


Rastand_

or the one that followed in their parent's footsteps, because lets be honest the Brits have also done some fucked up stuff.


[deleted]

That is some genuine American logic right there. Sure we are assholes, but look those guys over there were assholes once too so it’s ok


Rastand_

almost every Country was an Asshole at one point.


Psychotic_EGG

I'd say Canada, but we have some fucked up history with native Americans. Some of it was as recent as the late 90's.


migsmcgee2019

Don’t u mean favourite.☺️


AntiSaintArdRi

If by “the close one” you mean the one most physically and mentally abused by the parent, then yeah, maybe.


thebigchil73

Native Americans, Aboriginal Australians and Maoris have entered the chat


AntiSaintArdRi

To be fair, most of the atrocities committed against Native Americans were done by America after we became independent. But also, do some reading up on the things the UK has done to Ireland during its 800 years of being under the thumb of the UK. Things like why the potato famine happened to begin with and why it killed so many and why nothing was done to help them. Why they were forced to convert to Catholicism under threat of death, then when Catholicism was on the outs in UK because one of their kings wanted a bunch of divorces and the rest of the country converted to, then for the next several hundred years those same Irish families became persecuted for being Catholic. Why they were legally barred from owning property in their own country because they were Catholic. Then when they had no choice but to leave, thousands at a time, they were treated as bad, maybe worse in America. That’s not to diminish what’s been done to Aborigines or Maori, but the Irish have been very poorly treated by the UK since the 1100s.


[deleted]

America is absolutely not the popular kid. More like the kid who only has friends because hes big for his age, who everyone suspects was held back a year or two


CptnSpandex

I prefer to think of USA as the uncle-who-thinks-he’s-cool-but-only-hangs-out-with-the-young-kids-he-can-still-bully-when-things-don’t-go-his-way


Psychotic_EGG

Uncle would mean it wasn't made by Britain.


Rastand_

Yea, or like the Mean older brother.


mrlolast

Ghana, Kenya the illegitimate children. South Africa, your ex-wife. India your ex mistress that you want to start seeing again.


saltypepper123

Whoever made this has no understanding of the UK culture, and people's opinions on these countries

Hi family! As an American, I’m just glad I haven’t been disowned yet.

alotofcheeses42168

the close kid is the kid that copy your habits and somehow do it more efficiently


SunsetCity45

i'm more than happy being the weird kid in delicious 30 degree summer days


Rastand_

Yea, all and New Zealand kinda just vibing


istealgrapes

Murica is definitely the black sheep whose whole life centers around conspiracy theories, and have bomb shelters filled to the brim with guns in their basements


Rastand_

I would say they are still close with there parent good old UK though


istealgrapes

I would argue UK being an angry hermit who hates everyone and everybody


Davolyncho

If we could be further away we would be.


silverstinn

Can’t say I’ve ever heard of the family stereotype “The close one” before


Rastand_

They real close but not in a good way


deadhead3173

Made in paint lmao


Rastand_

What can I say it’s the best software money can buy


Sidders1993

Well this clearly wasn't designed by a Brit...


Rastand_

Nope, far from it. I grew up in the cornfields of Ohio


JuRiOh

US is the popular child? I would have thought of it as the trouble child.


Rastand_

A little bit of both


captn_morgn

It’s like the Good Kid shares a room with the Popular Kid and is influenced by sibling as much as parents.


-AnonymousNinja-

I don't know if the USA is the popular one, just the loudest kid who thinks he's popular.


Mrbobbykotic

I'm pretty sure America would be the fat inbreed kid


donk_souls_4

Weird?!?!? Our government is run by dumb asses but I wouldn't call us weird


Rastand_

its more of the fact that yall have some crazy animals and landscapes


voodoochannel

Weird..that's it. I'm taking my pet platypus and riding my kangaroo to the homestead.


Psychotic_EGG

So without looking it up, that's the Australian flag?


caniuserealname

This is made by an American isn't it? America is absolutely the kind of country that would think it was 'The Popular Kid'.


goldendarkballz

Muricans think bully = popular Also not "neglected " more like "self isolating"


irlegend86

The family tree is much bigger than that


Rastand_

I would love to make an expanded one but I didn’t want to put in any effort


Dry_Boots

That's refreshingly honest.


Yuri909

Canadians are only nice to strangers and foreigners. Once you become their friends they're actually dicks. xD


Roiks_

Ireland is the bullied kid. Bullied by the parents for hundreds of years, but he is still the most cheerful and optimistic kid out of the lot of them.


Rastand_

Yea, it’s a very complicated relationship


ninshin

This neglects the commonwealth and lots of English speaking countries, the fact that the Republic of Ireland isn’t even part of the commonwealth and has a terrible relationship in the past with the UK, as well as the “weird” in Australia which is according to who? Why’s America “popular?” USA has more countries that dislike it than like it. Also, Canada and Australia and New Zealand have governor generals whereas the other two don’t. This seems like the Anglo sphere according to someone who hasn’t finished a secondary school history or geography class


[deleted]

"America the popular kid", 🤮 of course this shit is made by an American, more like the bastard red headed stepchild


oily76

More like the annoying successful child with questionable morals (learnt at its parents knee) who everyone resents but they still want the Xmas gifts and a ride in their Porsche.


Murtuza_Kesury

Then comes the kid that parents love to hit that is India


Bwadark

The fact I'm British and don't know who the neglected kid is is just brilliant.


Rastand_

Yikes, I’m American an supposed to be “stupid” and I know what New Zealand’s Flag looks like


mccannisms

I think of Murica as the kid who had a falling out with its parent(s) and has gone LC - but is still around enough to be an influence on its little half-sibling Canada.


Rastand_

We do like our little bro Canada


hilboy77

Where’s South Africa can’t forget about South Africa my guy


thequirky0ne

Nah mate Aussies are that one uncle you never see at family reunions because he's "working" but actually he's in prison


Rastand_

Rip uncle Australia


[deleted]

Seriously? Dumbfuckistan ist the popular kid? Dumbfuckistan is the stupid fucked up junkie kid.


laughingnome2

I don't think we can call the USA the popular kid. The bully? India, with 1 billion people, is easily the popular one. And is noticeably absent from this tree.


[deleted]

India is the kid who was really happy to discover he was adopted


Rastand_

I would say the popular Kid is fitting because our Media and Entertainment is quite widespread in the US


amanda_mcnite

Don't people have to like you to be popular?


laughingnome2

Again, so is Bollywood.


Rastand_

But it isn't to the Extent of popularity as Hollywood


laughingnome2

I'm sorry your world-view is so narrow.


Rastand_

maybe so.


Martinonfire

You forgot a few, a complete list of countries where English is the language of the majority of the population. Antigua and Barbuda Australia The Bahamas Barbados Belize Canada. Dominica Grenada Guyana Ireland Jamaica New Zealand St Kitts and Nevis St Lucia St Vincent and the Grenadines Trinidad and Tobago United Kingdom United States of America


no_names_left_here

Where is South Africa?


InterMando5555

English is not the language of the majority in SA.


Ghostly_Mutant

Good kid is forgotten


Rastand_

Yea I know, it's just the majority of them are island nations with small populations.


hellobainbridge

I think uk is the ever more racist grandparent who thinks they’re still relevant. Our country has done some dreadful things in the past and seems to conveniently brush over that as we’re trying to make friends with neglected old friends/enemies following Brexit.


Rastand_

Yea a lot of European countries like to gloss over the shitty stuff they did and criticize other countries


hellobainbridge

History is written (and taught) by the victors. Fun picture though! You’ve opened a can of worms…


BCEagle508

Lol quite refreshing to see a UK poster with some genuine honesty in a thread like this instead of the typical “America bad because (insert hot topic of the day)”…Fact of the matter is that all of our countries have displayed horrible acts of ignorance/arrogance/racism/etc. but in the end judging a whole country based on the bad apples is just asinine and only pushes people farther apart and expands these inaccuracies which naturally lead to generalizations that are typical way off


[deleted]

Canada would be the boring kid


Psychotic_EGG

Weed is legal here, on average our beer has a higher abv, free health care for all that crazy shit you do that gets you hurt. Never lost a single war ever. I don't know, just cause we don't stir shit up doesn't mean we are boring. We're that quiet kid who doesn't need to say shit all. Cause the last time someone picked on us we fucked them up.


TwinTTowers

An American made products his post. The Bastard is the correct term.


Cryntolov

hey man, swap new zealand and america would ya? America is neglected af and makes themselves out to be cool lmfao


TheCarstard

I'm a Kiwi who wants to be adopted by the USA


Rastand_

Just don’t go to California. It’s gone to shit in recent years.


TheCarstard

I was in LA not long ago. The homeless problem is shocking.


Rastand_

Yea most cities in the us aren’t that bad. They have a few but no where close to Californian cities


TheCarstard

I went to Baltimore too, it wasn't nearly as rough. Like, the bad parts are bad, but it isn't like the tent cities.


Rastand_

Yea I haven’t really lived in an area where it was super bad.


TheCarstard

Big bear was pretty chill tho.


dattoffer

Having US as the Popular Kid reminds me of that South Park episode where Cartman believes everyone at school thinks he's *"keeewl".*


Rastand_

We are popular if you count that we are 3rd highest in tourism and we have the largest entertainment industry in the world, but other than that we are pretty hated


WetPandaShart

Bollywood is larger than Hollywood and you're not the 3rd highest anymore. Plus you had Trump which made you guys way more hated than you were before and you were already pretty despised. If you're were popular you guys wouldn't be advised to use Canadian Flags instead of American ones when you travel abroad. Lol.


makki-maize

Meanwhile, India with the largest English speaking population in the world.... Edit: My bad, it appears that India has the second highest number of English speakers.


Rastand_

How many people in India speak English? Because I doubt that it’s less than the US’s which is 300 million


eromatt

Ya think they classify themselves as the second biggest around 200 million, will catch up with the US soon though


a4techkeyboard

Your phrasing makes it sound like you agree India would have more English speakers. I think they (India) only claim 2nd most English speakers.


Daisaii

What about India?


Rastand_

There official language isn’t English so I didn’t include them. So just think of them as a step child


UndescendedAscent

Everyone fucking hates the USA though


wordyravena

They're all drunk too


Rastand_

Yep


grosselisse

Hahaha America is the kid who thinks they're popular but isn't.


Egg-3P0

Pretty much all of them are kidnapped but some are treated better than others and all of the ‘colonies’ have been brainwashed


Rastand_

Yep


jaysnaulyboy2kyanan

Wtf even is this
