[ChemicalChaos]

Has anyone else heard of the "countryball" memes? For those who dont know, they are short comic strips acted out by little balls painted in the flag of the country they represent. Often the comic strips lampoon national stereotypes, or recent political events and are written in the pidgin English of the countrys they represent.
some people have called them offensive, but personally I find them hilarious!

Here's a few examples:

One train is the 3.10 to Yuma, the other is the midnight train going anywhere. Excellent attention to detail

Just noticed the dusty world cup on the mantelpiece and the registration of the mini in the picture. And Poland coming out of the house

The more you look, the more subtle jokes you notice!

Does anyone else read the different countries out loud in their head in the stereotypical accent from the country?

Especially the Scotlandball

I do enjoy these

There was a good one about why Ukraine is quite an atheist country (Can't find it now, typical)

Was this the one? Just stumbled across it!
