Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
Weβre here for laughs, not fights.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it light β argue in the comments, not with insults
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (seriously, donβt ruin the fun)
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.
Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Has he changed much? If you didn't like him before you probably won't now. If you did like him before but have already seen a lot of his stuff you will probably still like it but it might feel a little repetitive.
he jumped on the anti-trans wagon real quick. and does a few other pro MAGA jokes. he claims he's being subversive for it's own sake, but I'm not amused by people who are ok with me personally losing my human rights or right to be alive because it's just a sandbox for them to play in when it's actually a gun to my head.
You can support gay rights and still tell a joke about sucking cock.
I think you need to go back to the late 90s with the 11 O'Clock Show to see his earlier work.
That's the same show that brought us Ali G as well.
See, the other commenter is right. These comedians didn't really change their act, but what did change was the context.
British honour in the 90s was a wild time where only a decade previously we had Bernard Manning, Jim Davidson and a who host of rotters as weekly fixtures. Outright bigotry as commedy.
Then it swung back hard (starting with the Comic Strip guys, possibly) but it was still fringe until the mid 90s.
That said, if any of you guys are unaware of who Alexi Sayle is, you are in for a treat.
Alexi Sayle Playlist
I've never found the guy funny, no. I remember what an obnoxious twat he was in An Idiot Abroad, never intentionally watched something he's in.
You are free to do that, but has his style really changed much? At this point if you go to see him and you are disappointed its kinda on you as well.
Don't worry, I don't plan to.
