Explaining The Binley Mega Chippy Meme:
So, what’s the joke, exactly?

The joke is that there isn’t one at all.
The Binley Mega Chippy meme looks to be a sarcastic celebration of something that is intrinsically British, similar to ‘Blokecore,’ a TikTok fashion fad that has seen young fashionistas adopt baggy pants and vintage football tops.
