Welcome to Gazette Gags
Gazette Gags is a British meme gazette: the day’s news, reduced to the one image that says what everyone in the group chat is already thinking.
Every meme starts as a real story doing the rounds in the UK press. We take the underlying absurdity — the form nobody can complete, the bill that only goes up, the policy that solves a problem nobody had — and turn it into a single satirical image you can send to the person who needs to see it.
What We Do
Three times a week we scan the day’s news across eight long-suffering categories — British Life & Bureaucracy, Money & Cost of Living, Work & Office, Home, Family & Relationships, Cars & Transport, Pets & Animals, Tech & AI, and Current Affairs & Seasonal — and turn the most ridiculous of them into memes.
New memes go up every Sunday, Tuesday and Friday. Each one is a self-contained joke: no article to read, no scrolling required.
Our Editorial Approach
- Satire first: Everything on this site is a joke. A carefully made joke, but a joke.
- The facts stay straight: The events our memes hang on are real. Only the framing, scale and detail go gloriously absurd.
- AI-assisted, human-judged: We use AI tools to research, write and render quickly. Every meme is still checked to make sure it is funny, legible and not aimed at someone’s misfortune.
- Punching at power, not people: Our targets are institutions, corporations, bureaucracy and general British absurdity — never private grief, illness or anything that happened to a family in the news.
- No real people depicted: The artwork is AI-generated and deliberately stylised. We make cartoon versions of situations, not fake photographs of real individuals.
Why Gazette Gags?
Because most of the internet takes itself very seriously, and the news is frequently beyond parody already. Gazette Gags exists to do the one thing the headlines cannot: laugh at them properly. Funny without being fake news, absurd without being cruel.
Important: This Site Is Satire
Nothing on Gazette Gags is factual reporting. Every meme is fiction built on a real event. If you are looking for the news, we recommend the sensible outlets — ideally ones that do not put their jokes in a red banner. If you are looking for a laugh, welcome home.
