What could’ve been had better formatting and grammar been at play
I feel like the meme would be better if it had Muslim county flags in the last panel saying “You guys can drink?”
Yeah, this would have made more sense. They aren't doing the meme right.
Probably a Spanish speaker. They express age like that.
“Tengo viente años” means I am twenty years old, but it translates literally to “I have twenty years”
Good point but still. 16 to 18 to 21 and then down to none? Plus the mess of flags in there
But thats literally how the formatting is supposed to be. The punchline is that you thought it was going to be more than 21 but it's actually just none.
No its not, OP's right here. In the original the dad gets 500k, the mom 30k, the girl 1k and the boy nothing, so it is in fact, a strange layout. He should've started with 21, then 18, 16 and 0. But oh well semantics...
16, 18, 21 and never would probably make more sense
But then it's not as funny because you expected it. Plus that's more of informing than making a joke. It's ok to twist the format a little for the purpose of being funny.
Is t the last panel supposed to be way worse compared to the others not better (Orin this case the age would be higher rather than 0/none)
You're 100 percent right and the downvoters are wrong. The original meme goes best to worst, which would be 16, 18, 21, prohibition. It's not just highest number to lowest number.
Thank you, someone gets it
doesn't make it any less funn
do you research every meme format to make sure it follows the original format? it's ok to be a little different than the original one, don't know why that bother you so much.
Maybe because English isn't his first language?
This is so typical. A non native tries to do something in English and the first thing they get is critique instead of actual acknowledgement for trying their best. He even said he was Latino dude...
I think the issue is the increasing ages and then the decrease at the end, which breaks from the meme’s typical format
And when we say "sorry for my bad english", they make fun of us because of that!
Fuck it's so hard to make this english folks happy
Also it's not accurate, in England you can drink at 16 you just can't order alcohol yourself until 18. So for example if your at a pub getting food with your parents they can order you a drink. It's also sociality acceptable to drink fairly early if it's in very small amount
in England you can drink at 5 if you're in doors
Ah yes, 21 years is younger than 18
Drinking age in my country is 25 😵
lets speak in his language instead if it bothers you so much
The grammar doesn't matter, this format is automatically shit anyway, just like at least half of all reddit memes
Mfs critiquing the meme like it would be any funnier if the grammar was better
The format is shit but this is like the most inoffensive and bland usages of it I’ve ever seen. I can’t really imagine getting upset about this meme
Exactly, I'm not upset about it, it's just incredibly boring and unfunny, therefore it belongs in this sub
Imo, this sub should be used for offensively bad humor. Just basic over used memes that don’t really do anything special are a really lame thing to post here. The reason I’m here is because I want to see horrible shit, not just boring overused memes
Uk drinking age is 3
5*
It's 5, not 3.
Fantastic achievement
Me literally 14 was just casually brought q beer by one of my uncles and the store did not care idk other beers but that beer tasted ass
I love that movie!
also nitpicking here, the England one is wrong lol. We can drink in restaurants at 16, but it’s legal for a minor to drink at home if they have parental permission iirc
I’m not sure if it’s 100% legal, or if it varies by state, but in the US (and many other countries for that matter) the same/similar goes when it comes to parental supervision
you can drink beer in england at 16, but you can't buy it without an adult until 18.
UK drinking age is 5 at home.
In public with an adult it's 16 (though many bars are 18+ so moreso restaurants and pubs).
To buy it in a shop it's 18.
5 at home? At that point why even set it at all?
It's only under parental supervision of course. There's a pretty big difference between a baby and a 5 year old having a bit of alcohol. Child neglect/abuse laws are still in place and would 100% apply if you got your kid drunk.
5 is a developmental milestone and is the starting age for formal education. They can begin to understand rules and concepts of safety and behaviour.
It's pretty much so that it isn't illegal to give your kid an innocent sip of wine (unless they're a toddler/infant). It's never encouraged but risks are hugely reduced once you're 5. Doctors used to always give a bit of brandy to newborns.
Setting the age at 5 reflects a balance between historical/cultural practices and modern understanding of child development and health.
It's not like when you turn 5 your parents go "oh now you can drink". I only had my first beer at 12 and was strictly limited to just one can to watch the football with my dad.
Never knew that about reaching age 5. You learn things everyday
