Why These UK Roasts Are Going Viral

1. Americans Love Culture-Clash Humor

Nothing hits harder than exaggerated comparisons between two cultures that think they understand each other—but don’t.
These comedians lean into every stereotype and flip it into gold.

2. The UK Is an Endless Comedy Fountain

The monarchy.
The weather.
Tea culture.
Dry humor.
Soccer riots.
Beans-for-breakfast.
There’s simply too much material.

3. These Comedians Are at Their Peak Right Now

Schulz, Normand, Theo, Rogan, Gillis—each one has a massive online following, and when they poke fun at another country, fans rally around it like a team sport.

4. British People… Actually Love It

Even UK audiences are commenting:

“We deserve this.”
“This is the most accurate roast I’ve ever heard.”
“Keep going, America. We can take it.”

The Funniest Moments From the Roasts

⭐ Andrew Schulz:

Known for his sharp, rapid-fire crowd work, Schulz tears into everything:

Why British accents make everything sound sarcastic
How the UK somehow conquered half the world but can’t make edible food
Why British nightlife feels like a zombie apocalypse after 10 PM

He even pokes fun at Londoners:

“You’re proud of a bridge. A bridge. Meanwhile, we built Vegas.”

⭐ Mark Normand:

Normand brings his classic observational style:

“Why is your bacon just ham cosplaying as bacon?”
“How do you have pubs everywhere but no one is fun?”
“Do British people tan… or just slowly rust?”

His delivery makes every line feel sneakily brilliant.

⭐ Theo Von:

Theo’s storytelling about the UK is pure chaos:

“I met a British dude who apologized before he insulted me.”
“Y’all drive on the other side because somebody dared you and you never backed down.”
“Is tea just coffee that gave up on its dreams?”

The Brits love Theo because half his jokes sound like folk tales from a dimension the UK doesn’t understand.

⭐ Joe Rogan:

Rogan goes philosophical:

Why the monarchy is the “longest-running reality show on Earth”
How the UK is simultaneously the most polite and most violent place
How British comedy is so dry it evaporates before it hits the viewer

He also jokes about British parenting:

“You guys let your kids call adults by their first names. That explains everything.”

⭐ Shane Gillis:

Gillis brings his all-American guy energy:

Roasting UK sports: “Your teams tie… proudly.”
Mocking British toughness: “You fight with open hands and apologies.”
British war movies: “How did you lose an empire and still act smug?”

His accents alone send audiences into meltdown.

Why American Audiences Love These Roasts

✔ They feel like friendly rivalry
Americans and Brits annoy each other like siblings—and comedy amplifies it in the best way.

✔ No one is safe
The royal family. Soccer. Fish and chips. British slang. Everything gets roasted.

✔ They’re brutally honest
The jokes say what people are thinking but won’t say… unless they’re a comedian with a mic.

✔ It’s pure escapist comedy
No politics needed. Just two cultures clowning each other and laughing harder each time.

The UK’s Response: Surprisingly Hilarious

Instead of getting offended, British commenters are joining in:

“Please roast our healthcare system next.”
“We deserve every one of these jokes.”
“Do America next—wait, never mind, that’s too easy.”

It’s a rare moment where both sides of the internet agree on something:
This roast war is comedy gold.

Conclusion

These American comedians are roasting the UK like never before—fearlessly, hilariously, and with the kind of bold honesty only stand-up allows. With Schulz, Normand, Theo, Rogan, and Gillis leading the charge, the US–UK roast rivalry is stronger, funnier, and more viral than ever.
