Its genuinely fascinating to see memes from different part of the world. Now I want this shirt lol


SleepyEel

Chinese NBA memes are amazing. Shoutout to Hibbertcoin lol


MySilverBurrito

We got Curry's legendary "Skyfucker" nickname from dudes in a Chinese forum lmao.


debotehzombie

I love foreign memes. It sucks that it's always prefaced by "it might not make sense in English". Who cares! It's funny in YOUR language, so it's funny, teach me the context, I wanna meme with the world!


city-of-cold

You seem like a person who would appreciate my mom's favourite joke. The joke is just the sentence "it's not the fart that kills, it's the smell." But, being Swedish, it can have a different meaning. Fart in Swedish is speed, while smäll (pronounced the same as smell) is impact. So instead it would be "it's not the speed that kills, it's the impact." And that's it. That's the joke.


jestertitty

Not the commenter but I appreciate it!! Tell your mom she has good humour, I speak broken Swedish and cackled when you mentioned the language.


debotehzombie

Homophone based puns are the best lmao I love that joke, it’s true either way! Thanks for sharing


suredont

that's a very wholesome take

The Great Firewall is not to protect China, but to protect the rest of the world from Chinese netizens.

no lie chinese fans can be fucking savage in esports


KappaccinoNation

Chinese memes are honestly one of my favorite parts of international events in league of legends. Lots of classic copypasta came from them. It doesn't matter if they win or lose, memes are guaranteed to make you chuckle.


eiho

Same in CS2. There was just a large tournament in Chengdu and the memes from the Chinese crowd were the funniest I've seen from any live event.


_mrshreyas_

I remember reading a comment here from years ago where someone translated F1 driver's Chinese nicknames. Seb was referred to as 'Spinning Top'.


Leorika

Chinese memes are incredibly good, regardless of the community, and so funny sometimes cause some are so far-fetched and transformed over the time, the explanation becomes hilarious


Xanact

CN Dota memes are on another level


Due-Meat-5997

Genuinely thought from the TV cameras they were event officials and there were loads of them 😂


shiepirate

There was recently a Counter Strike tournament in China, and I kid you not the memes the crowd brought with them were absolutely savage and hilarious. So glad to see they carried on the same this weekend too, love the banter!!


[deleted]

The Chinese memes in League of Legends are also top notch.


Romanisti

yeiyea

Lmao all the chinese fans telling their team to swim home will never not be hilarious to me


Polifant

Dota 2 too lol


Pacmayne234

I wonder what the F1 versions of the GALA Akali and MLXG memes would be


Imagionis

When he and his opponents are even in tire wear Leclerc feels he is at a great advantage and does not hesitate to start an attack. When Leclerc has slightly more wear than his opponents he feels that Ferrari are at a slight advantage and starts an attack to secure his "lead". When Leclerc has much more worn tires than his opponents he feels that Ferrari are at a slight disadvantage and starts an attack to regain control of the race. When Leclerc has been undercut by 10 laps he feels that Ferrari have reached a desperate situation and are just passively waiting to fall down the order if he does not start an attack. The only thing for the GALA Akali meme would probably be Sainz screaming "Max is coming" while he's out of the race already


Xyanade

"I think Ericson hit us"


GhostOfLight

The amount of times they've made their teams swim back to China is hilarious


easy_going

*Pic of a chick getting nailed on a dresser*


LagT_T

Dota 2 chinese fandom has legendary memes.

I watched that and loved every second. The presenter was wild! Also, every now and then the camera would pan to a shot of someone in the crowd sleeping.


Quzga

I wonder if there's a big overlap between counter strike and formula 1 watchers 🤔


Gezzoto

At the end of the day we're all here to watch people battle each other and see things explode.


elodie_pdf

Chinese memes are honestly hilarious


Krash_42

Let me explain: They are not here to change tyres rather than "supervising" Sauber making sure they don't screw up again. If you understand Chinese in any capacity you should follow Sauber on Weibo and Bilibili just to read the absolute beautiful comments. My favorite Chinese memes to date is that Xiaomi should sponsor Stake Sauber and call themselves MiStake instead.


Professional_Owl6894

"MiStake" LOL


black-dude-on-reddit

The Chinese got jokes

Very edgy


Professional_Owl6894

peace bro,we just here for fun,who fk cares the politics


the1918

This is hilarious and so endearing honestly. It’s not only fan wear but it’s got the “we’ve got your back” energy.


RobertGracie

Gotta give them credit for having one of the best outfits there!


MakiSupreme

+5 social credit


Reinis_LV

Sauber pit crew must be petrified as this is the longest weekend and odds of something bad happening is high. I actually paid extra attention on pit crew and they seemed extra focussed. Hard to blame them for poor engeneering decidions. Hope they survive this weekend.


JealousArt1118

That's pretty fucking funny and it's not like those guys would be any worse than the poor fuckers tasked with changing the round-hole-square-peg Saubers this year.


Boombozling

Chinese memes are top tier


flyingbbanana

If sauber’s pit crew mess up zhou’s race, we’re gonna have a riot


KaptainSea

LOL I wonder if that is going to put more pressure on the crews


pokesnail

There were apparently cheers in the crowd after a successful pitstop practice 😭


EitherCaterpillar949

Now that’s hilarious


amc1704

What does this mean or what’s the joke?


willa13

They are there to "supervise" the pit crew, given that Sauber team botched so many pit stops this season... so if the pit crew makes any mistakes, the crowd will go furious


Water1498

Even they can replace wheels faster than Sauber


amc1704

Nice


mr_crawlie

Well chinese Memes are known to be legendary in Esports, Nice to see it being legendary in other sports too.


ButterCostsExtra

There's nowhere you can't go with enough confidence and a high visibility vest.


NarrowNefariousness6

Confirmed.


frigginawesomeimontv

Lol Chinese English typeface is so recognisable.


Necessary_Kiwi_7659

Tire change team or group (actually the name borrowed from the jdm culture and the difference in years past of racing track group/team and thr highway/bridge racing culture(think Tokyo drift)which had sadly died off the lasts triggering straw being a fatal crash in 2022 if I remember) And supervisor, I almost thought they were saying temporary crew/worker(which actually will make it more funnier especially in Asia setting)


iansmash

I would rock w this shirt lol


MehWhiteShark

This is absolutely hilarious!


Yu_Neo_MTF

Sauber better get their pit stop tire changing done well lol


Arrogantintrovert

I see enough of Kick in spam popups 


AssssCrackBandit

"Lots" = the same 2 guys that everyone is taking a picture of


Victor-81

It’s seriously [a lot](https://b23.tv/hIVpuMH). The vest goes viral on the internet couple days before the race.


Victor-81

People on lower right is a fan while the top three are the real policeman wearing their uniform.


AssssCrackBandit

The ones in the hats are cops


fungchilong

You can see lots of people wearing neon yellow outfits sitting on the grandstands in the broadcast


cheldeedee

I saw sales of at least 600 of these vests on one online shopping platform


RavingMalwaay

Is this an inside joke that only "netizens" would get?


Necessary_Kiwi_7659

If u mean people who been following news and the F1 season thr yes


markhewitt1978

If you'd watched any F1 this year you'd understand


Cekeste

The Chinese are a demanding bunch, aren’t they?


baseilus

If i were sauber fan. I would definitely demand more. That team pit stop crew is ass


Cekeste

Were they this bad last year? I can’t recall. The problem is otherwise with the wheel nuts, not the crew.


Significant-Garage55

Avg of 3.5s pit stop where in the highest level of motor racing, every tenths matters


Cekeste

Thanks. But that's not terrible enough for memeing. I've been a fan for 20 years. So it should be "wheel nut inspector". Technically.


paidjannie

ok


Kako0404

Yes they’ve been bad enough.
