Theresa May attempts Brexit explainer video, gets meme’d into oblivion

This was only ever going to end one way, wasn’t it?

On Sunday afternoon, UK Prime Minister Theresa May released a video update on Brexit in which she addressed the camera from a sofa.

Clearly it was intended to be a laid back, casual attempt to distract from the confusing and deeply nightmarish hellstorm that Britain’s attempt to leave the EU has become.

Anyway, you can probably guess what happened next.

Mere hours after May’s video was posted, the parodies were rolling in.

This one splices May’s speech with the apocalyptic British movie Threads.

It wasn’t long before that quote, in particular — “Let me explain what’s happening with Brexit” — had reached full-blown meme status.

Oh dear.
