    My understanding of the UK is that they drink tea all day and then they go to the pub and drink ale or cider all evening. They seem like a very hydrated people.

      They also stand in queues and politely tut at anyone misbehaving unless they decide to have a football riot instead.

    Hugleikur‘s humour epitomises a very Icelandic combination of crudeness, surrealism and pathos. It has a gravitas the likes of Cyanide And Happiness can never reach.

      Idk if “gravitas” is quite the right description. There’s some good bits in there, but a lot of it is deeply generic edgelord jokes that are basically indistinguishable from C&H. And to be clear while many of them are funny, I also find C&H funny. It’s just not some sophisticated font of insight.

      I mean… yeah. C&H circa 2008. Gender identities & domestic violence, amirite guys?

      (Also a weirdly high number of jokes where the punchline is just "pedophilia")

      (Random C&H for comparison)

      IDK man. Might want to unpack this one a little.
