Brexit jokes: The one time you won't miss British humour

As if we haven't had enough misery with the earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, shootings, ISIS and more, some people in this world are really keen on more suffering. So today we hurtle forth into yet another phenomenally backward move - Britain's exit from the EU. Also known as Brexit. Or that time the British scored a phenomenal goal during the Euros, except it was an own goal and had nothing to do with football.
With the help of a referendum, Britain sealed its fate, possibly for generations to come. All you unborn British kids out there, feel free to stare your parents down when you come into this world. And stare hard.
Anyhow, in a time of such incredible political uncertainty, it's only obvious that one turns to the one thing that helps soften the blow. No, not alcohol. We mean mindless humour.
Because when the apocalypse isn't far away, what with President Trump a distinct possibility, what more could we do with our lives than laugh nervously?
Here's the funniest responses we could gather from all over social media. If you're British and reading this, feel free to giggle. Because really, what choice do you have?
